JOHN R. WARD PASSES
AWAY IN LOACHAPOKA
John R. Ward, 67, passed away at
his home in Loachapoka Tuesday
morning after an illness of 10 days.
Funeral services will be held this af­ternoon
at 2:00 o'clock from the Meth­odist
Church in Loachapoka with in-terment
in the Tuskegee Cemetery.
C. R. Summers is in charge of ar­rangements.
Surviving are his widow, formerly
Miss Fort of Tuskegee; three sons,
John R., Jr., of Loachapoka, and G.
Joe and E. Fort Ward, of Auburn;
two brothers R. O. and G. B. Ward
of Loachapoka and one sister, Mrs. T.
J. Waller of Auburn.
Mr. Ward was born in Fredonia,
Ala., and for many years was well
known as a school teacher in South
Alabama. He later moved to Loach­apoka
where he had resided for the
past year. He was a member of the
Methodist Church.
JEWISH MISSIONARY TO
SPEAK HERE AT SESSION
Dr. Jacob Gartenhaus, Southern
Baptist Home Jewish missionary, will
be the principal speaker at a meeting
of the Tuskegee Association of the
Women's Missionary Union at the lo­cal
Baptist Church on Friday, April
20.
The public is invited to hear the ad­dress
by Dr. Gartenhaus, who is sche­duled
to speak at 11 a. m.
Included on the all-day program
will be a report of the recent conven­tion
in Birmingham by Mrs. Louis A.
Ward.
The program of the Rag Bag Alley
Puppets to be staged here by Misses
Weaver and Kathryn Dallas tonight
in Langdon Hall at 8 o'clock will be
as follows: "De Courtin' Couple,"
"Br'er Wolf Visits de Little Rab­bits,"
and "Ghostes."
"De Courtin' Couple" portrays the
love affair of Sis Goose; the action
taking place in the dooryard of her
cabin with Br'er Dog and Br'er Fox
as the rival suitors, and Br'er Rab­bit
in his usual role, of professional
meddler.
Sis Goose surprises her audience
with her ability to do a good days
washing and then hang it on the line
while involved in matters of the
heart.
The second play, "Br'er Wolf Vis­its
de Little Rabbits," is the story of
family life as good rabbits live it.
This performance has a cast of seven
characters, anyone of which fit nicely
into almost any home even though
they are seen here in Br'er Rabbit's.
The scene of the last play,
"Ghostes," is laid in a deserted grave­yard
at the bewitching hour of mid­night,
under the light of a waning
moon. It features a combination of
hand and. shadow puppets, with a
black cat, a croaking frog, tomb­stones,
and grave-robbers in the fore­ground.
The story concerns the burying of
"Aunt Susan" with ten-dollar gold
pieces on her eyes to keep them closed
in death. Rastus and Ephraim, flash­ily
dressed young negroes are in the
cemetery preparing to dig up Aunt
Susan, steal the gold pieces, and re­place
them with twenty-five-cent
pieces. Rastus believes ain't no
ghostes, and Ephraim hopes there
ain't no sich thing."
That these puppets, created by the
Misses Dallas have met with success
is proven by their engagements to
date. The Rag Bag Alley Puppet
Show has been presented at Colum­bia
University, Leland Stanford Uni­versity
,the Leslie School at Cam­bridge,
Mass., and many other lead­ing
schools and colleges through the
east.
There will be a small admission
charge to defray expenses of having
the group here.

DELTA SIGMA PI HAS
FOURTH ANNIVERSARY
The members and pledges of Delta
Sigma Pi, national honorary business
and professional fraternity, observed
the fourth anniversary of the instal­lation
of the local chapter into the
national organization at their new
"Lodge" now under construction on
the Yarbrough Place.
The observation in the form of a
moonlight stag dinner was held
Thursday, April 5. The eight recent
pledges furnished the entertainment
for the evening. The local chapter
was installed in the Spring of 1930.
The Lodge, of frame, cabin type, is
being built as an outing place for the
fraternity. It is situated in a grove
so that it will be an ideal place for
out-of-doors affairs and at the same
time the members will have a suitable
house when the weather does not per­mit
parties in the grove.
According to Charles Workman,
president, plans are under way for
the chapter to hold a formal house
warming when the cabin is completed.
Members of the fraternity skilled at
carpentry, are doing the completion,
and are installing some new and
unique ideas in the Lodge. The com­pleted
cabin promises to be one of the
popular outing places of the future
as a number of picnics and other out­door
affairs have already been given
there.
Students and faculty members
gathered in Langdon Hall Friday
morning to witness the installation of
the new officers of the Student Exe­cutive
Cabinet for next year. Classes
were excused at this hour and many
took the opportunity to attend the
ceremony.
The Glee Club, under the direction
of Professor Bulleit, furnished sev­eral
musical selections. Justin S.
Morrill, President of the Cabinet for
this year, reported on the activity of
this organization during the past year.
He then introduced the new President,
William M. Hughes, to the gathering.
Dean Wilmore administered the
oath to the new president as provided
for in the constitution of the Cabi­net.
Justin Morrill presented the
other members and Dean Wilmore ad­ministered
the oath.
After the installation of these of­ficers,
Dr. L. N. Duncan spoke on the
subject "Looking Forward to Next
Year." Dean Judd followed Dr. Dun­can
with an announcement concerning
the summer school.
A resume of Dean Wilmore's speech
follows: "These exercises mark the
completion of one step in a most in­teresting
and valuable laboratory ex­periment
in political government.
These experiments furnish some of
the most valuable training you will
jeecive in college..
"Political government or Democrat­ic
government is not automatically
good government. It is government
only so long as it serves the public
efficiently and economically, and it is
not likely to serve efficiently and eco­nomically
unless the public takes a
definite interest in governmental af­fairs.
"This applies to our student gov­ernment
as well as to state and na­tional
governments. These members
of our student body whom you have
honored by election to the positions of
trust and authority in your body, are
earnest and conscientious and have
every intention to do their whole du­ty.
They are, however, subject to
pressure from many directions, and
some of this pressure will not be
wholesome. The constant cooperation
of the student body will steady them
and strengthen them to do the right
thing and promote a successful ad­ministration
of student affairs for the
coming year.
"There is another phase of Demo­cratic
government to which I wish to
call your attention. Youth is impul­sive
and hot-headed. The antago­nisms
aroused by a vigorous political
campaign are often strong, sometimes
bitter. Perhaps this is as it should
be. But when an election is decided
this bitterness should be forgotten,
forgotten not only by the officers but
by the student body. That is certain­ly
one of the most important condi­tions
of successful democratic gd^ern-ment.
These must be the accepted
officers of the whole student body and
the whole student body must cooper­ate
with them and help them to give
a good administration. The whole
purpose of these officers in their offi­cial
capacity should be to promote the
public good as applies to college af­fairs.
"We congratulate these young peo­ple
on their election by their fellow
students to these offices. It is not
only a personal compliment, but a
manifestation of confidence in your
ability and integrity, given by those
who know you best. They have in­vested
in you large authority, grave
responsibilities, and a splendid oppor­tunity
for service. We believe you
will measure up to these duties and
responsibilities, and I assure you of
the continued interest and support of

MINOR SPORTS
Although most of the colleges throughout
the South and even throughout the country
have been forced to curtail athletic pro­grams
to such an extent that minor sports
have been dropped to an almost negligible
position, a certain element on this campus
has been responsible for their continuance
here.
The advantages of minor sports are un­disputed,
especially in that they open a
field to men of small stature and more lim­ited
physical abilities than those required
to participate in the major sports. We do
by no means feel that perfect physical con­ditioning
and ample athletic ability are not
imperative in minor sports, but we do feel
that men who are not big enough to hold
up under the pounding of much larger men
on the football field, or who lack some of the
stamina and ruggedness so necessary in
baseball, basketball, and track may revert
to minor sports as a means of physical de­velopment
and attainment which cannot af­ford
to be overlooked. •
Minor sports at Auburn include tennis,
swimming, polo, and the rifle team; and it
will be noticed that in each instance, the
initiative for the continuance of these
sports is left entirely in the hands of an
individual or group of individuals. Tennis
is the most uncertain of the sports and is
entirely in the hands of the tennis enthu­siasts
who are interested enough in the
game to try to form a team and schedule
matches with other schools and teams. The
swimming team is largely the work of one
or two students who have a great interest
in the sport and have succeeded in interest­ing
others and developing a smooth work­ing
conference team. Polo, the most re­cent
of minor sports to be started, is led by
one or two guiding spirits on the faculty
coupled with ardent support by students
who play the game and enjoy watching it
played. The rifle team is taken in hand by
a member of the faculty together with the
most able support of the Military Depart­ment.
Were it not for the widespread interest
in these sports and the marked success that
each team has met with in contests during
the past few years, we would be prone to
drop the subject from further discussion
and allow these sports to continue as they
do at present. However, in view of the fact
that the polo team was conference cham­pion
last year, the rifle team was high in
national ranking, the swimming team held
a most respectable position in college cir­cles,
and the tennis team gave a commen­dable
showing in the few matches that were
played, we feel that the institution should
take a hand at this time in seeing that these
sports are continued.
Of course we fully realize the financial
condition that the institution is in at pres­ent
and we realize that some money would
necessarily be expended to insure the con­tinuance
of these sports, but it is the un­certainty
of the entire set-up that we are
trying to ward off. Even this year, it was
well along after the opening of school be­fore
definite arrangements were made for
a polo team, and swimming and tennis were
only bare possibilities until some of the stu­dents
banded together and made the neces­sary
arrangements. The rifle team has en­joyed
comparative security, so far, but we
wonder what the status will be when the
present coach is no longer stationed at Au­burn.
We feel that the least the school
could do would be to make some provision
for the continuance of these sports even
though it be on a small scale and not leave
it to the ingenuity of the members of the
student body to decide upon a sport, make
all of the preparations, conduct the activity,
and then compete in the events themselves.
In closing we would commend most high­ly
the work of Major Franke, Captain Gun-by,
Lieutenant Bowman, Howard Morris,
and Claude Pritchet for the splendid work
that they have done toward initiating and
perpetuating minor sports here.
GOVERNMENT TRAINING
For the first time in the history of the
United States a training school for young
men and women who desire to make careers
out of political sciences will open when
The National Institute of Public Affairs
gets under way in Washington in 1935. Un­der
the tutorship of 20 nationally known
university professors of President Roose­velt's
"Brain Trust" the students will be in­structed
for three months in the functions,
organization, procedures and various ad­ministrative
and legislative undertakings
of the Federal government.
The National Institute was first proposed
at the Ninth Annual Congress of the Na­tional
Student' Federation of America in
Washington during the Christmas holidays
by Chester H. McCall, assistant secretary
of commerce. Since that time, through the
N.S.F.A., the proposal has become a reality
and social and scientific governmental
agencies throughout the nation have en­dorsed
it.
According to plans every branch of gov­ernment
will be studied—executive, legis­lative
and judicial. Students will be given
the opportunity to observe the inner work­ings
and organizations of the departments
of the executive branch as well as to note
the functioning of the law making division.
The program calls for lectures by govern­ment
officials, open-forum discussions, and
the actual placing of theories into practice.
It is proposed that the privately financed
institution will be entirely non-partisan
and non-factional. It has for its purpose
the instruction of college educated men who
desire to serve in governmental capacities.
The students, who will study in the insti­tute,
will be selected from junior, senior
and graduate classes on a plan similar to
that used in the selection of Rhodes schol­ars.
It is needless to go into a discussion as
to why the United States can profitably use
such a training school. For many years
the charge has been made that government
in America is slow and sometimes inef-ficient
because it does not attract the high­est
type citizens to fill its offices, and be­cause
political abuse are too frequent.
These charges cannot be denied or ig­nored.
The civil service has worked in the
United States, but not so well as the ser­vice
in Great Britain. This is explained
by the fact that in Britain professionally
trained men enter the service of govern­ment,
and also by the fact that the civil
service officials in Britain require broad
general training rather than technical in­formation.
The National Institute of Public Affairs
certainly deserves the support of the United
States government. It undoubtedly, if
properly conducted, will aid materially in
the administration and improvement of
public responsibility.—Hullabaloo.
ARISTOTLE, CHRIST, DA VINCI, EIN­STEIN,
MARX—HISTORY'S
GREATEST
With a refreshing disregard for tradi­tional
heroes, the senior class of the City
College of New York City recently elected
Aristotle, Christ, Leonardo da Vinci, Karl
Marx and Albert Einstein as the five great­est
men of history. What a start this must
give the pious grade school and high school
teachers of civics, ancient history and
American history! There is not a sign of
Caesar, Napoleon, George Washington, or
Herbert Hoover. Hours spent in memoriz­ing
the Roman emperors, names antedates
of European battles and their leaders,
American presidents and their accomplish­ments—
all seem to have had little effect.
Only one of these "five greatest" is men­tioned
more than casually during the first
12 years of schooling. There is no time
for a philosopher, an artist, a revolutionary
economic philosopher, or a long-haired
mathematician. Rulers and generals must
come first.
Of course, the New York seniors may be
all wrong, and their five choices of little
importance. On the other hand, it is more
likely that they see things pretty clearly
and in true perspective, for they have evi­dently
recovered from the spoon-fed hokum
of their earlier days.—Minn. Daily.

I WAS stopped on the street the other
day by a youngster who half-heartedly
inquired if I wanted to buy a dog. On be­ing
asked how big was the dog, the little
guy stretched out his hands in the way of a
fisherman showing how big was the one
which got away.
"He's part Collie and part German-Po­lice,"
I was informed. "He won't cry .at
night, honest he won't. We taught him not
to."
He wanted fifty cents. And I asked him
why he wanted to sell, thinking about my
own childhood when I wouldn't have taken
fifty dollars for the really worthless little
dog that gazed at me from brown eyes as
if I were his supreme deity.
I was told his mother didn't like dogs. I
didn't see the dog but by the look on the lit­tle
guy's freckled face, he must be the
greatest dog that ever lived.
Which puts another idea into my head
concerning the girl up State. I wonder if
she likes dogs?
* * *
Why was it on Monday night, when four
stations could be heard on Sumpter's radio
through the static, three of them were play­ing
barn-dance stuff, and on the fourth a
man was talking drivel?
* * *
I wonder how love can continue to sur­vive
in the face of Mary's hollering at
Doug all the way across the Atlantic, and
Doug hollering back? And "Peaches" suing
"Daddy" again. And Millie suing Uncle
Bim for ten million.
Love must indeed be a great thing.
* * *
Fairy. Stories . . . Once there was: A
girl who visited England and didn't come
back saying she had danced with H.R.H.
. . . A President who thought fishing was
a bum's occupation . . . An Auburn man
who didn't think Boulanger was a louse
. . . A doctor who made patients say some­thing
besides the very trite "Ah" . . .
A lovely little thing who didn't accent and
amplify the profile of her physique. Echo:
Now I know you're fooling!
* * *
Ah-ha, and comes this week-end the final
excuse for not studying, and perhaps the
lovliest excuse of all. But, darling, lets
leave your little brother at home this time.
You know we can't afford him and a car
too. You know how such people talk. And
I'm quite certain he didn't believe the last
time we had a blowout because I caught
him looking at the tires the next morning
in the hope of getting another two-bits for
keeping his mouth shut. And we can't pur­posely
hammer any more nails in the tires
just before we get in, because tires ain't the
same price they once was.
* * *
I don't really believe the dances will be
so bad this week-end. It's just my way of
talking. Like Gum. Howled at the selec­tion
of every orchestra, and hasn't missed a
dance yet.
One can't stay away from the dances
when you fellows import such girls as you
do. Some of them are almost fit tq be seen
out with, really. I believe there have been
more nice looking girls at the dances this
year than there ever have been, and more
nice looking co-eds. Things are picking up
in a big way. The social system of the
school here has taken on new life. We have
a couple of fraternity or sorority dances
every week-end and all of them are good.
Good for a man's education as much as
calculus and physics. After all, you know,
it's a girl and not a calculus book that you
have to live with all your life.
And I'd be willing to Wager that in the
Knights we have about the best student or­chestra
in the Conference. And its astound­ing
that the Collegians can be as good as
they are with as many men as the Knights
have. That is—we must have an unusual
amount of musicians in the student body
this year. Mighty fine, you know.
* * *
And while we're on school improvements
we might mention the girl's gym. That is
the thing, now. There are tennis courts
and all such, and the thing, I think, has
given these girls a new independence. Be­fore
the gym was evoluted about the only
thing a girl could do was to walk around
with some boy. And that, dayMn and day
out, is not far removed from being annoy­ing.
A girl wants to do something else
now and then. Likes to play with othei
girls, and let the boys shoot their own mar­bles.
I've noticed more of that this year, since
the gym has been built. Three or four
girls who did nothing but chase around with
boys last year have found better things to
do . . . like playing tennis with other
girls.
I supposed the things are like boys in a
way. A boy, you know, likes to do things
by himself, or with other boys at times.
DEADLY DEDUCTIONS
By Deri
EDITOR'S NOTE: The opinions expressed in this
column are not necessarily the editorial opinions of
this paper. It is a column of personal comment,
and is not to be read as an expression of our
editorial policy.
JASON gloats columnally over the fact
that Bert Lown wasn't mentioned on the
student ballot for the best orchestras.
It's too bad he can't read. Because Bert
Lown is on it. And besides, even if he
wern't playing here for the finals he'd be
on it. He's that good. It so happens that
Lown is the best orchestra to be obtained
for opening or final dances during my four
years and chances are during a good many
years preceding my four. That's the how-come
of the large tax for the dances. A
good man takes good money. And, Jason,
if you don't like Bert Lown, go to the Ala­bama
dances. Johnny Hamp played there
once. So did Agnew almost. In fact I sug­gest
you go to Alabama. They treat news­paper
men right over there.
* * *
Yes, indeed, they treat newspaper men
right over there at Tuscaloosa. But' the
little skirmish they had there wasn't nearly
so serious as a publications elections might
be. For instance, suppose the wrong man
got elected. It can happen. Happened
here once, right here on this very paper.
By a freak of chance the election was
straightened out and all was rosy. But the
next time it happens all won't be rosy.
It would be infinitely worse for an incapa­ble
man to be elected to the leadership of a
publication merely through his popularity.
To avoid such a circumstance, I would ad­vocate
a more controlled election if not an
appointive election for the head positions
in the two college publications. By a con­trolled
election I mean an election in which
the present publication heads allow only
those who could do the job run for the of­fice.
The appointive system would be even
better than the controlling system. In the
appointive system, the heads would appoint
their successors from their respective staffs, •
subject to questioning by the executive cabi­net.
With a little proper supervision by
the cabinet, the possibility of favoritism
could easily be eliminated and the best
man be appointed to the four responsible
positions. This is no matter to argue' over
year after year. We have been fortunate
so far in getting competent men into the
offices most of the time, especially fortu­nate
this year. But what about next year?
Who can say what may happen then? A
modification of the present, publications sys­tem
should be put into effect before the next
elections.
Switching from one orchestra to another,
let me say that we should be rather proud
of the Auburn Knights. On a recent tour
the dance crowds went wild over our hand­some
horn-blowing brutes. And we just
take them as a matter-of-course. I'm afraid
our attitude is more one of toleration than
of interest. But it so happens that we have
one of the best orchestras in Alabama, and
they play anywhere from fifty to a hundred
percent cheaper than a lot of worse orches­tras.

Local-boy-makes-good-Morrill, made a
very pretty speech last Friday. He gave an
itimized account of this year's misappro­priation
of funds. Then to sort of land an
air of importance to the occasion, he men­tioned
three of the most upstanding gen­tlemen
in the senior class. He called them
by name, then took what is loosely known as
a "crack" at the attainments of two and
probably the aspirations of the other. The
unmitigated gall that was Morrill on this
occasion was astounding. With almost a
deathly calm, he proceeded to grasp hand-fulls
of the keys that hang on his watch-chain
and stuff them in his pocket until
not one was left open to view. Then he
proceeded to cast aspersions at any man
who needed "a trace chain to carry his
keys." But Mr. Goodness-Gracious Morrill
doesn't need a trace chain for his keys. He
carries them in a wheelbarrow.'

It's a shame that the best poetry must
go unwritten because of moral prejudices.
I mean this so-called smokehouse poetry.
Some of our best humor and poetry is go­ing
to waste. It must be perpetuated by
word of mouth rather than in written form.
And I honestly believe that lots of this sort
of obscene work has true literary merit,
although there is little chance of official
recognition. It's not half as crude or vul­gar
as Ulyssees either. It is condemned
because of it's humor.

Would that school were out, then we
might curl up in the chair on the front
porch, prop out feet on the banisters or
another chair, beat the flies away with a
flyswatter and read "The Last Of The Mo­hicans,"
that we have always intended to
read but never have. And maybe wash the
heavy Cooper adjectives down with lemon­ade
or better if it's obtainable. I wish
school were out.

Auburn regrets the loss of Coach Herschel Bobo, who resigned from his
post as head baseball mentor to enter business in Mississippi. During his
short period of stay here he made many friends. His knowledge of the
game, and his ability to handle players was unquestionable. Our good wishes
go with him in his future undertakings.
Coach Del Morgan, who succeeds Coach Bobo as baseball coach, and will
also assist Coach Jack Meagher in his football work next fall, comes to the
Plains with the highest recommendations. We welcome him into Auburn's
athletic family, and hope for him genuine success.
achievement here at Auburn. As
All-Southern end for two sea­sons,
as captain of the basket­ball
team, and as regular catcher
on the diamond outfit, Ariail has
earned his place alongside other
greats in Auburn's Hall of
Fame. He will rank with New­ell,
Shirey, Hitchcock, Jordan,
Burt, the James twins, Buck
Ellis, and others, as one of truly
great all-around men of Auburn
history.
We felicitate Ariail upon the
reception of this outstanding
honor, and the "A" Club for its
fine choice.
* * *
John Haygood Paterson, Jr.'s elec­tion
as President of the "A" Club as­sures
this organization of wonderful
leadership for the coming season.
Paterson, scion of a family which has
made football history here, is carry­ing
on in noble style, and is a leading
candidate for a regular tackle posi­tion
on Coach Meagher's grid team
next year.
To Paterson, Rutland, and Fun-chess,
the three officers of Auburn's
1935 athletes, we offer congratula­tions
and best wishes. A finer set of
leaders would have been hard to find.
Coach Hutsell's trackmen will
be on parade for the first time
this season Saturday when the
Tigers open their 1934 sched­ule
here on Drake field. The
boys have been working hard,
and deserve your hearty sup­port.
Come out Saturday and
cheer them on to victory over
one of Auburn's bitterest rivals.

Comes a letter from Frank Camp­bell,
Auburn graduate of 1932, now
of New York, in which is inclosed
clippings of Jimmie Hitchcock, and
several write-ups of his playing with

of the Newark-Yankee game is of the
first appearance Jimmy made with the
Bears. He has received many nice
write-ups in New York papers lately.
They seem to herald him as a coming
star."
Hitchcock seems destined for the
heights. With good coaching and a
little break, his arrival in the Big Top
will come soon.

The Interfraternity Tourna­ments
now being run off, tennis
and baseball, are creating their
usual amount of interest. As in
years past, the Sigma Nu's are
leading their rivals in both sports
in the early rounds. The Ag
Bottom baseball squad has not
been scored on to date, having
themselves amassed a total of
something like 35 or 40 runs in
two games. Quite a feat in this
league.

In the tennis competition, the S.A.
E.'s hold the key position of the top
bracket, while the Sigma Nu team is
favored to win out in the lower.
Much interest has been expressed in
the coming golf tournament, and many
fraternities have already begun pick­ing
teams for the meet.
It seems to this column that the
Interfraternity Council has provided,
through its various tournaments, a
well-rounded intra-mural athletic pro-gam,
comprising practically every ma

Sunday Afternoon
Captain Gunby announced yester­day
that the varsity polo team would
meet the Wimbledon Polo Club of Mo­bile
on Bullard Field, Friday at 3:10
P. M. The game was scheduled at
this hour in order that students whose
classes run until three o'clock may
have time to make the game. With
the game starting at this hour, it will
be over before the opening dance of
the finals begins.
Capt. Gunby also stated that Sun­day
afternoon the Wimbledon Club
will meet the Ramblers, local officers'
team composed of Maj. G. H. Franke,
Captains W. A. Metts and T. S. Gun­by,
and Lieutenants J. V. Phelps and
F. L. Bowman. This game is set for
4:00 in order to permit those seeing
the first moving picture to see the
polo match also. The gate receipts of
this game will be used for charity.
Admission to each game will be free
to students on presentation of ath­letic
ticket books. To others the ad­mission
charge will be 25 cents.
The probable starting line-up for
Auburn will be: J. L. Fincher, or
J. S. Morrill, Oel Johnson, W. O. John­son,
and J. H. Suydam. For the Wim­bledon
Club, Demoury Spottswood,
Col. R. S. Thomas, John T. Cochrane,
Jr., and Mr. J. Gilbert Burton will
start.
Stronger Glass Made
By Dr. C. A. Basore
Glass, three or four times as strong
as ordinary window glass, which was
developed in the laboratory of Dr. C.
A. Basore, was discussed by him at a
recent meeting of the American Chem­ical
Society in St. Petersburg. Au­burn
was represented at this meeting
by Prof. Herman D. Jones, Dr. Fred
Allison, and Dr. Basore.
In an historical review of his work,
Dr. Allison showed that he was the
first to detect presence of Hydrogen
isotropes.
Recent progress in the utilization of
metallurgical wastes was the subject
for discussion by Dr. Basore, in which
slag glass was spoken of as a result
of one of several processes worked
out in the laboratory in Auburn.
FAVORITE TEAMS ADVANCE IN
TWO INTERFRAT TOURNAMENTS
S. A. E. Tennis T e am Subdues A. T. O.'s In First Round; Sigma
Nu's Defeat Sigma Pi's In Easy Tussle; Beta Kappa, Phi
Delta Theta, Theta Chi, and Lambda Chi Teams Victorious
The Sigma Alpha Epsilon tennis
team, composed of Dozier Howard and
Joe Parker and one of the favored
teams in the tourney, advanced to the
second round of the Interfraternity
Tennis Tournament with compara­tively
little difficulty, defeating Alpha
Tau Omega, represented by Crawford
Jernigan and John Copeland, 6-1, 6-3.
Oftentimes matches can be much clos­er
in individual games than in the
total for each set, but this was not
true in this match as Sigma Alpha
Epsilon held a considerable advantage
all the way.
In the baseball tourney, Sigma Nu
played its third-round game and com­pletely
subdued Sigma Pi 28-0. Sig­ma
Pi, boasting wins over T.U.O. and
S.A.E., was demoralized at the out­set
of the game and never started
either an effective defense or offense
against the superior Sigma Nu team.
Sigma Nu conclusively demonstrated
in this game that its earlier victo­ries
were no accident, as without
doubt the Sigma Nu aggregation is
one of the hardest hitting, and clean­est
fielding combinations on the cam­pus.
Beta Kappa did practically the
same thing to Sigma Phi Epsilon as
it annexed a 16-3 win. Sigma Phi
Epsilon was trailing 6-3 before a
heated dispute over a Beta Kappa run
arose, but after this occurrence which
seemed to take the spark out of the
Sig Eps, it was Beta Kappa all the
way.
Phi Delta Theta barely nosed out
the Phi Kappa Taus 11-9 in the sec­ond
round, the Phis also winning their
first round encounter by the similar
margin of two runs. Alpha Psi ad­vanced
to the third round by virtue

made of four totally different summer fabrics, was subjected to precisely the same mussing treatment.
Two sets of photographs were taken: (1) immediately after mussing; (2) after hanging the suits up
over-night. The Palm Beach Suit not only wrinkled or mussed less than the others... but also showed
truly amazing facility in the matter of "automatic recovery." (.See actual photographs. In each case photo on lift
shows results after hanging.)

from T. K. N. in the second round.
In defeating the Theta Kappa Nus,
every man on the Theta Chi team
got one or more hits, Suttle and Wal­thall
leading the attack with four for
four and three for four respectively.
Most of the Theta Chi scoring was
done in the first and fourth innings,
six markers being amassed in the first
and four in the latter. The T. K. N.
big inning was the first, in which
three runs were scored.
Lambda Chi Alpha grabbed a 9-1

Saturday afternoon. This was
the winner's first game, they having
drew a bye in the first round. They
met the Alpha Psi's yesterday after­noon.
Morgan Jackson, for the Lamb­da

player in the fray, he having pitched
a good game in addition to collecting
two triples and a home run. Both
teams played good defensive ball,
while the victors were potent at the
plate.
