Over $700 Given To Fund By
Men Students; Other Organizations

GIRLS HOUSED
All Women Students Formerly
Living In Smith Hall Continue
In School After Monday
With over $700 donated by fellow
students and temporary housing arrangements
already provided by college
authorities and Miss Zoe Dobbs,
dean of women, the 34 women students
formerly living at Smith Hall,
which burned Tuanksgiving morning,
are continuing their study here.
At special call meetings this week
each of the four classes voted to donate
fifty cents from each of the
male student's.contingent fee to replace
the losses in personal belongings
suffered by the young women.
Other organizations have likewise contributed.
Burton's Bookstore has
agreed to sell these students text
books at cost price. Also, a report
has it that a move is underway
among the merchants of Auburn to
sell the girls clothes at a greatly reduced
price. Two sororities have provided
a combined amount of $40, the
Episcopal Church presented their
Thanksgiving offering of $4.61, and
Miss Elizabeth Forney donated $5 to
the fund.
Of the 34 occupants of the building,
some 25 or more suffered losses. Sev
en lost all of their possessions, while
the remaining 18 lost virtually all.
Many belongings were badly damaged
by water. The Ideal Laundry is
cleaning all clothes damaged by water
and smoke free of charge.
Three houses have been provided
by the college for the remainder of
the semester without extra charge to
either the young women or the college.
A systematic distribution of all the
funds received will be made after
each girl's losses have been definitely
ascertained and a fair valuation made.
The college accountant has been requested
to undertake the disbursement
of all funds. Miss Dobbs has
appointed Mrs. John J. Wilmore, Mrs.
B. H. Crenshaw, and Mrs. L. N. Duncan
to serve with her in conjunction
with Justin Morrill, president of the
Student Executive Cabinet, and Mr.
P. O. Davis, Executive Secretary, as
a committee to study carefully each
student's losses with the view to making
an equitable distribution of donations
in hand.
'ht wouW be difficult indeed to
find words to express, adequately, our
appreciation of the noble services of
the faculty, students, employees of
the college, as well as the entire citizenry
of Auburn. Our obligations
are unbounded. Running true to
form, Auburn has risen most nobly
to the occasion and rendered it all the
more easy to formulate and carry out
plans," said Miss Dobbs in her report
to the Chairman of the Administrative
Committee.
SCHOLARSHIP CUP BE
GIVEN TO FRESHMAN
Presentation of a loving cup to the
freshman in the school of business
administration who attained the higfc-est
scholastic average for tfie session
of 1932-33 will be made within the
next two weeks, according to an announcement
by Charles Workman,
president of Delta Sigma Pi, national
honorary business administration fraternity.
This average is based upon
the work of two semesters as shown
in the files of the registrar's office.
Workman also announced that the
fraternity would continue their practice
of awarding a scholarship cup
this year, with the presentation of
the cup to be made next fall.
Delta Sigma Pi is an honorary
fraternity which elects into membership
members of the three highest
classes in the business school. This
society is instrumental in sponsoring
a number of campus activities and
furthering the interest in business on
the campus.
Pat Plujnlee, of Birmingham,
emerged victorious over three
competitors in the race for the
presidency of the Freshman class
during the election held yesterday.
W. B. Kelley assumed the
office of vice-president by virtue
of his win from a list of three,
candidates, while Frances Shi became
Historian in a close race
for that office. Bob White was
officially named secretary ( and
Vernie Holloway, treasurer since
neither had opposition in the
race.
The polls were open in the student
center yesterday from eight
a. m. until five p. m., and during
that time, only 179 new students
cast ballots. However, this was
a slightly larger number than
voted in the Executive Cabinet
election held recently.
RELATIONS GROUP
HEARS PROF. ROE
European Hates Is Topic Discussed
By Popular Foreign
Language Professor
"European Hates" was the subject
of a speech to the International Relations
Club by Professor John W.
Roe of the Department of Foreign
Languages at its last regular meeting.
Professor Roe gave this title to
his lecture because he said that it is
useless to deny the existence of" these
feelings because they are so evident.
The causes for this hate, he said,
were many; notably, the unwillingness
of Germany to give up permanently
any claims to the Alsace-Lorraine
region and the equal determination
on the part of France to insure
its retention in the French state.
As proof of these statements Professor
Roe cited a conversation with a
German chemist, who he believed represented
the rank and file of reasoned
German opinion, in which the latter
remarked that although Germany
had been defeated in the last war
that in the next she would be victorious.
He also pointed to the precautions
of the French who have played
a clever hand in these provinces in
the post-war days by appointing
strong governors and by placing
'their first-class military units with
the double purpose of conciliating the
local population and "throwing the
fear of God" into the Germans just
across the border.
In the opinion of Professor Roe the
majority of the people in the Strass-bourg
area, where is located the University
of Strassbourg, and where he
ipent the last year in study, are loyally
French. Practically no German
loyalty is manifest although intelligent
observers feel that it must be
present to some degree in latent form.
Particularly was the role of Hitler
dwelt upon as a possible disturber of
the peace. Pointing out some of the
good qualities of the regime did not
prevent criticisms of other policies.
From the French standpoint the Hitler
regime represents the depth of
duplicity and danger. To meet this
new danger extremely intricate fortifications
are being erected along the
borders so that large units of troops
may be moved underground. Nobody
is allowed to inspect these fortifications
but they are known to exist.
The French believe the Germans to
be secretly armed and the speaker
shared the belief and added that the
French could scarcely be blamed for
the attitude of fear which they take.
Out of all this, however, the fact
develops that the vast majority of he
French and the Germans do not get
unduly excited; they go on living in
much the same way as before the
war. They are aware of danger but
feel that it is futile to worry about
something which they can do little to
prevent.
The only solution to this anomalous
state of things as between France
and Germany and their respective
sympathizers, according to Prof. Roe,
is something modelled along the lines
of Briand's Europeans Union. A
peace. based on commercial inter-

DRAMATIC SOCIETY
TO PRESENT PLAY
HERE ON TUESDAY
Auburn - Opelika Community
Players' Appear Here Tuesday
In Second Presentation
The Auburn-Opelika Community
Players are scheduled to make their
second appearance here when they
stage the second performance of "The
Vulture" in Langdon Hall next
Tuesday night, December 12, at eight
o'clock.
"The Vulture" is a mystery play
with a mild mixture of comedy. The
story centers around a week-end party
at a farm house near New York City,
rented for the occasion by Phillip
Graham (Arthur Medlock), the host.
Andalusia Anderson (Mary Martin),
the housekeeper, hires Toby Tolliver
(Charles Wade), who is studying to
be a detective by correspondence, as
butler.
Guests at the houseparty are Catherine
Belmont (Louise Farley), her
brother Will (Charles Ingrapi), Carl
Thomas (Clarence Austin), a young
lawyer in love with Catherine, and
Brad Buckhart (George Moxham),
Graham's friend and chief of the detective
squad. .
A topic of discussion at the party
is "The Vulture" a mysterious character
who has murdered several people.
Soon after Buckhart is discovered
dead and several of the guests
are,accused, each having reason to
want Buckhart out of the way. As
the body is found the shadow of a
vulture is seen at a window,
Jenkins (William Drake), a New
York detective, is summoned to the
scene and recognizes Celeste (Nell
Ingram), one of the servants, as an
underworld character. From this
point the mystery deepens until the
climax with a solution is reached.
Other characters are Bella Walker
(Lillian Meadows), and Annie Bloom
(Elizabeth Ingram).
The Players have recently acquired
an orchestra to furnish music before
and between acts of the play.
Wilmore Extends Seasons
Best Wishes To Students
To All Students:
On the eve of your departure
for your homes to spend the
Christmas holidays with your
relatives and friends, I am writing
to extend to you the season's
greetings and to wish for you a
delightful vacation.
I wish to thank you on behalf
of myself, my associates on the
Administrative Committee, and
of the entire faculty, for your
splendid cooperation this session
as in former years. Despite the
handicaps under which we have
labored—and are laboring—we
have enjoyed a year of excellent
work of both students and faculty.
Students have been guided
and governed by the principle of
right and fairness and a desire
to obtain the high quality education
offered at this institution.
We hope that while you are at
home you will speak to prospec- ,
tive students about the Alabama
Polytechnic Institute. We are
looking for new students qualified
to enroll and possessed with
those high qualities which have
made Auburn famous throughout
the nation, and the world. Some
of our high schools will have
January graduates and these
graduates will be ready to enroll
at Auburn at the beginning of ,
our second semester. We are
concerned especially about them.
It will interest you to know
that, with the help of the Federal
Government (CWA), we are
starting on many improvements
of our buildings and these improvements
will be in evidence
upon your return. Smith Hall
will be rebuilt, thirty-six other
buildings will be repainted and
repaired, three labor cottages
and one barn will be built, and
electric lines will be rebuilt. All
this» is scheduled for completion
by February 15.

TWO FRATERNITIES
WIN FIRST ROUND
GRID ENCOUNTERS
Sigma Pi's and Theta Chi's Are
Victorious In Thrilling First
Round Contests
Two games of the Interfraternity
Council Football Tournament have
been played this week. Yesterday on
Drake Field the Sigma Pi Fraternity
defeated the A. T. 0. team 13-6.
Both teams scored during the first five
minutes of the game and the score
remained tied, 6-6, until the end.
Two extra periods of ten minutes
each were played to determine the
winner. Blagley, Sigma Pi, intercepted
an A. T. 0. pass and ran fifty
yards for a touchdown. The extra
point was made by a pass to White,
Sigma Pi Captain and star end. Captain
Farley, A. T. 0., was the-most
outstanding player on the field.
The Theta Chi team defeated Alpha
Psi 8-0, in a rough give and
take on the Freshman field yesterday.
The runs by A. F. Clark, Alpha
Psi, and the punting and running
of Martin, Theta Chi, were features
of this game. Theta Chi's first
score came in the third quarter when
King, Theta Chi center, "tackled"
Wann behind the Alpha Psi goal line.
In the last few minutes of the game
King caught a pass and dashed across
the goal line for his second score.
A little more than the normal
amount of touch football "butter-fingers"
was evidenced. Theta Chi
played in Alpha Psi territory almost
all of the game after the first few
minutes.
Of the twenty-two teams playing
in the tournament ten drew byes for
the first round. Every team expects
to play at least one game before
the holidays so that the tournament
may be finished up hurriedly
after Christmas. Games are to be
played Saturday between Kappa Alpha-
Delta Sigma Phi, Pi Kappa Al-pha-
Sigma Phi Epsilon and Theta
Kappa Nu-Alpha Gamma Rho.

The Reverend Dr. B. H. Bell, head
of The Life Abundant Movement, will
hold a mission at the Episcopal
Church here during the coming -week.
He will be here for the eleven o'clock
morning services Sunday the tenth
and Sunday the seventeenth. Also,
he will hold two mid-week services
at ten in the morning and seven-thirty
in the evening on next Wednesday.
Dr. Bell has gained much recognition
through his work in 'The Abundant
Life Movement' and by a book
which he has recently written on the
subject. In this movement spiritual
healing and spiritual health are emphasized
primarily.
Reverend Wm. Byrd Lee, rector of
the Auburn Episcopal Church, made
the following statement concerning
Dr. Bell's appearance here:
"Men of science recognize in Robert
Bell a man who has found his
God through science. While conducting
a mission at Tuscon, Arizona, the
scientific men of the University of
Arizona attended all his services and
were unanimous in their approval of
the man and his methods.
In his address Wednesday night,
President Roosevelt made a brief reference
to the book written by the
clergyman. "If I were asked to state
the great objective which church and
State are both demanding for the
sage of every man, woman and child
in this country, I would say that that
great objective is "a more abundant
life".

NOTICE!
All freshman basketball candidates
are requested to meet with Coach
Porter Grant in the "A" Club Room
in the Gymnasium at 3:15 Monday
afternoon.
With the help of the federal government,
as a CWA project, Smith
Hall, the girl's dormitory, which was
burned early Thanksgiving morning
will be rebuilt, starting today. Concurrently
37 other-college buildings—
big and little—will be repaired and
painted inside and out, three labor
cottages, and one barn will be built
on the Experiment' Station grounds,
and the electric lines on the campus
will be rebuilt.
Official announcement of this work
was made Friday by the Administrative
Committee as workmen were being
assembled for the initial work;
and so Smith Hall work started. The
total project calls for an expenditure
of $62,000 for labor and materials,
and, to do the work by February 15,
a total of 131 skilled workers will be
employed.
These workmen are being assembled
from the employment rolls of the
federal government and all selections
will be made in this way.
To get the project approved, a portion
of the Smith Hall fire insurance
was pledged. This does not include
that portion of the money assigned to
contents of the building; nor the insurance
money paid to the college for
losses incurred on the barns at Marion
Junction and Belle Mina. It is
understood that another CWA application
is being prepared with a view
to rebuilding the Malrion Junction
barn.
Mr. Dan Jones, head of the* Industrial
Engineering and Shops department,
will be general supervisor of
the work here. Under him will be
several foremen. Work of several
buildings will proceed simultaneous-iy.
Efforts are being made for several
students to have work during the
holidays. Students who are interested
are registering Friday at the Auburn
City Hall, 9 a. m., to 3 p. m.
Smith Hall "will be rebuilt with
very few changes of the outside walls.
Several changes will be made inside.
The intention is to make it an attractive,
convenient, and comfortable
home for girls. No provision will be
made for a dining room, a feature
objectionable to many in the old building.
These changes are now being considered
by the college authorities with
the help of architects. A foods laboratory
for girls -may be included but
this-awaits final and official action.
Fire losses to this building amounted
to $25,833.60. To this the contents
added $6,000.00, making the total
losses on Thanksgiving $31,833.60.
At that time the college owed the
State insurance fund as premiums
(fire and tornado) $12,399.42. This
was deducted from the total loss and
the college was paid on Saturday
following the fire Thursday, $19,-
434.18. This was said to be the
quickest fire settlement ever made in
Alabama. Officials at Montgomery
were very complimentary of the speed
and accuracy with which the college
officials handled their part of the adjustment.
With the payment of the
unpaid premium of $12,399.42 all the
college fire and tornado insurance for
the fiscal year which will end September
30, 1934, is now paid.
A tentative estimate by Mr. Jones
is that on Smith Hall and the other
37 buildings to be painted one carload
of paint will be used. Many other
materials will be required but, to
get the projects approved, it was
necessary to reduce the material content
to within 30 per cent of the total.
Another CWA project is now being
considered by the college. It includes
general landscaping of the campus.
The project, if approved, will result
in new walks and driveways, planting

"WHITE RUSSIANS"
Many ironies accompany United States
recognition of the Union of Socialist Soviet
Republics, not the least of which is the
plight of the expatriated White Russians
in this country.
With its peculiar discrimination of late
in choosing political refugees whom it will
allow to reside within its boundaries, the
United States', after the Bolshevik Revolution'
16 years ago, welcomed thousands of
White Russians to this country, mostly persons
attached to the old Czarist regime.
Strangely—perhaps—when the hue and
cry against aliens in our fair land is raised,
no word has been mentioned of these aliens,
no good patriot has suggested that they
should go back "where they came from."
In fact, they -have been very nice people,
always inventing pretty stories about Bolshevik
horrors, Bolsevik starvation, atheism,
tyranny. They were convenient to those
who feared Russian trade rivalry.
"We" had a good excuse, too, for letting
them stay here: we couldn't send them back,
because we had no diplomatic relations with
the U. S. S. R. Now that we have diplomatic
agents in the respective countries,
our face is very red. Our Four Hundred
won't be quite the same, ungraced by dukes,
or princes, or princesses of Czardom.
But how can we stop the D. A. R. from
wanting to get these aliens out of here?
We're only editorialists of a college paper.
—Syracuse Daily Orange.
PROFESSORS AND POLITICS
"The role of the professor is to teach."
Too often in the past has this been restricted
to mean the dissemination of information
only among those who step within the
limits of the college campus. The part of
the professor in society was merely to influence
the thought and study of private
individuals.
In a transitional world it is difficult to
see prevailing trends. But some thinks are
clear and one of these seems to be that a
public as well as a private duty will be
assigned to those who have dedicated years
of study and investigation to problems of
economics, sociology, political science, and
certain natural sciences which more and
more are coming within the scope of politics
which more and more are perplexing
the minds of those in power and demanding
the consultation of those who have studied
and know.
Plato once suggested thai states should
be ruled by the wise—by those specially
trained and educated in political problems.
That suggestion came a long time ago. It
still appears difficult to carry out. However,
we can now see a new duty devolving
upon professors (and students too) of not
only passing on what they know, but of
utilizing their knowledge and intellectual
abilities to aid in setting aright in the political
world the many things that appear
to be wrong.—McGill (Canada) Dadly.

HAVE just been reading one of Josephine's
books on how to bid and how
to lead and you should stay at home
and do some work instead of playing bridge
anyway. Straightway bid a hand and did
some leading according to instructions and
was set 2000 points in hardly any time at
all. No fun that. Shall right now go
back to the old Gay Street system of bidding
whereby one bids by the old "You-got-all-
the-kings-but-who-gives-a-damn" system
of bidding.
How to Bid: Never bid an eight card
suit headed by the ace-king-queen. The
opposition will have a ten card suit and
all the side help. Don't ever bid diamonds
and clubs, takes too many of them to make
game. Don't bid spades and hearts either,
if you can help it. Bid no trumps, takes
only three of those. What if the opposition
does hold all the aces and kings? Queens
are much nicer to play with. And what
if you do go set. It happens in the best
of families. It seems to make the opposition
happy, too. You like to make people
happy, don't you?
Bid sneaks and singletons, this will take
the opposition out of their bid, and show
them that you're not afraid of them. If
the opposition makes any bid over two,
double them; this is another way of showing
that you're not afraid of them.
How to Lead: Never lead an ace, the
opposition will always trump it. Don't ever
lead from a king, it will be finessed. Don't
lead a singlton, the opposition will put the
ace on it and lead you out of trumps anyway.
There are only two wise leads to
make and those are the lead from fright
(leading from a seven high four card suit)
and a trump lead. That's right, lead the
opposition's trumps to them; that's another
very fine way to show the opposition you
ain't scared.
Other Rules: If the opposition makes
the bid, always claim you were cheated.
Besides they didn't have to get all the good
card, did they? If the opposition peeks
in your hand looking for the bivouac of
the king of trumps, smite him sharply on
the left ear three times. You will then be
two up on him, as he didn't crown you
but? once when you were looking for the
king of hearts. When you see the opposition
is going to make a little slam bid drop
one of your cards on the floor and claim
a re-deal. If the opposition sees the maneuver
. . . well, anyway, you were going to
get a blue spot there hoss riding. If the
opposition bids a suit, always laugh like
you have seven of them, and ask him doesn't
he really want to go lie down and rest
awhile. If his partner jumps him two,
double quickly and laugh again. They may
have all the cards, but. the house may catch
on fire before the hand is finished.
If the opposition cuts you on a lousy
card, mess up the deal and cut his partner
on a card one lower than the one he cut
you on. Pop your gum. This is an excellent
way of making the opposition forget
to count trumps. Jump up and run
around to tune the radio and protest vigorously
when the opposition holds his hand
down where you can't see it. • If he persists
in doing this, stop playing with him.
If your partner leaves you in a no trump
bid, smile sweetly, and the next time he
bids one jump him to five, being sure that
you have nothing in your hand higher than
a ten. If the opposition catches you in a
renege claim that this is a free country, and
that you'll do as you damn please.
Play golf and you won't have to worry
about finessing the king.

Gray will more than likely play for the
Junior Prom. Jan Garber will be engaged

*
On Having a Date: Claim that the pipe
was a Christmas present, and that you
never smoke anything else. If you take
cigarettes, she'll smoke all of them. Take
her to the show, this way you'll escape having
to talk with her. Take her to the drug
store to show all the boys who you rated
a date with. Buy her a dope and if she
spills it don't get her another. Don't try
to talk to her, it can't be done. If she has
red hair, tell her it's pretty. If she has
yellow hair, tell her it's pretty. If she has
black hair it's really not your fault, and
there's no need of feeling bad about it.
Find out what kind of eyes she has. If
they're blue, she thinks you are a fool. If
they are brown, she's honest. If they're
grey, marry her. If they're green watch
your hat, coat, and fraternity pin. If
they're purple, you're drunk.

the first game in the country under
military auspices, impounded all the receipts
and ticket stubs and took them away
to Oklahoma City after A. and M. won
the game, 13 to 0.
Murray suspected sale, without authorization,
of "duplicate tickets".
The youthful soldiers, inept at the job
of ticket-taking, worked so slowly that a
long queue of customers still were outside
the big stadium at Owen field when the
whistle blew for play to start.
Drinking and disturbances were almost
non-existent in contrast with conduct at
previous games. The militia moved into
the stands to help faculty members and 40
deputies keep order and spot flasks.
Fans, after their first sight of the soldiers
in the ticket booths and gate-wickets
with .45 calibre automatics, laughed the
matter off and paid little attention to the
unusual display.
The Murray maneuver, coming with suddenness,
was said to have resulted from a
private investigation he has had made' of
conduct of the athletic field at the university
here. Two years ago the'entire athletic
department was investigated suddenly
by the board of regents. All employes
and officials were exonerated.
Last year a few duplicate tickets were
found after one game. The printer and
sellers never were located.—Minnesota

CONFIDENTIAL MAIL "
Joe Hewitt, an ambitious Robinson, 111.,
theatre manager, was anxious to pack in
the crowds when he booked Mae West's "I'm
No Angel", so he sent out about 350 post
cards to local movie-goers with the following
message written in a feminine hand:
"Dear Al (or whatever the name might
be) I'm coming up to Robinson Sunday for
a few days. I'll be putting up at the Lincoln.
Come up and see me sometime. Any
time. Mae. P. S. You know I'm no angel."
The gag of it was that the Lincoln is not
only the name of Hewitt's theatre, but of
a local hotel. So he was kept busy all day
explaining the publicity trick to irate good
wives who had gotten a look at the postal
before their husbands.—Daily Tar Heel.
In a recent questionnaire conducted by
the Colorado School of Mines, some interesting
facts were brought out concerning
the members of Mines' football squad.
It was found that nineteen of the squad
had not attended any other Colorado educational
institution before. When asked if
any of them had been contacted by Mines'
alumni before entering Mines seven members
answered that they had been approached
by Mines grads.
Many of the men on the team are supported
by themselves, scholarships and
family. Nineteen reported that they liked
football and two said that they did not.
When asked whether football interferred
with their scholarship, it was found that
nine of them believed that it did and eleven
thought that football was not conflicting
with their school work. Thirteen players
thought that they would devote more time
to their studies if they were not out for
football. Thirteen men on the squad reported
that they were too tired after practice
to study nights.
When asked if they could put in all the
time required for preparation as listed by
the catalogue, seventeen answered no.
Twenty men said that they would be unable
to put in all the required time on their
studies and still get enough sleep for athletic
competition. Fifteen men on the team
reported that they preferred the carrying
of the heavier schedule.—Oredigger.

AS GRADUATION draws on apace,
every month that passes brings us
closer to the inescapable realization
of what we're going up against. There is
some peculiar trait that characterizes seniors
in that they are always inclined to
be pessimistic about the future. The old
gag about the college grads who sell bonds
isn't nearly so funny now, and I venture
to say that ninety percent of the present
crop of seniors would jump at the chance
if they were offered a job as bond salesman.
But after all, everybody gets a job
sooner or later, and all we want is a chance
to show what we can do. What happens
then is our own fault.

Auburn, the fashion center of East Alabama,
dictates the following innovations
in snappy masculine toggery. No up-to-date
campus crosser is in style without a
two-year-old leather jerkin, worn jauntily
over open-throated shirt or undershirt!
Either button or zipper. The latest thing
in flashy wet weather footwear is musty
hunting boots, worn with over-size trousers.
These are the latest thing. For more serious
occasions, we have recently introduced
a new article on the campus. It is a
cloth jacket and waistcoat bought to match
the trousers. One of the more chic ensembles
is achieved by the younger members
of the college set. It is a startling
and bizarre arrangement known as "knickers
akimbo". The most popular linen of
the season is more or less ventilated, the
degree of ventilation depending on the individual.
Another peculiar and foreign
*
article, the cravat, has made quite a bit
of headway this season, and are quite
popular for shining shoes as well. The
more pioneering of the college set are endeavoring
to achieve greater waistline
heights. The best thought of high waistlines
are retained with undersize suspenders.
Socks are being worn off and on with
various shades of red and green predominant.
Sweaters constitute quite an item
in the well dressed gentleman's wardrobe.
These devices are exclusively pullover and
are worn over bare chests, undershirts,
shirts, woolen shirts, and vests. Sweatshirts
are sometimes substituted for sweaters
with a decided increase in olfactory
sensation. Gloves are optional with the
formal dress. Canes are taboo. Democracy
rules to the point that all occasions
are strictly black tie, white tie is as out of
order as any other sort of neckwear. Taste
seems to differ as to hats. One of the
newer models in trousers that seems to be
getting the big rush is a dress style trouser
equipped with pint and quart size hip-pockets.
Coiffure is variegated in stlye
with the long black hair running neck and
neck with lard, olive oil and white vaseline.
These trends will likely set new fads all
over the eastern portion of the state and
are remarkable in their effectiveness and
universal popularity.

A most interesting thing about the institution
here is the large number of horsey
people. I mean real horsemen and horsewomen.
The horsewomen of the era don
their togs and sally' forth to exhibit their
broad minds and ride horseback for half
hour. Then they sally back into the thick
of things and continue to exhibit their exaggerated
anatomical features. For this
there is no excuse. A woman looks better
in overalls than in jodphurs. There are
others belonging to another category of the
horsey people. These are the young gentlemen
who essay forth right brightly in
more or less military riding boots day after
day, and return home night after night
without having goaded a single horse rib
with those shiny spurs or rubbed saddle
soap on those paunchy riding breeches.
These people should be exiled to a far distant
country and made to ride horses all
day and groom horses at dinner time. Then
by George, we'd see who wanted to be horsey.

SATURDAY, DEC, 9, 1933 THE P L A I N S M AN A L A B A M A P O L Y T E C H N I C I N S T I T U TE P A G E T H R EE
Four Tigers Named On Plainsman's AlLSoutheastern Conference Team
AUBURN FINISHES
FOOTBALL SEASON
WITH FIVE WINS
Tigers Complete Difficult
Schedule; Wins Over Tulane
And Georgia Stand Out
Playing through a difficult ten-game
schedule, Auburn's 1933 foot-bail
team ended the season in Birmingham
Saturday against South Carolina.
The Tigers won five games
and lost a similar number.
The Plainsmen opened the season
with a hard fought 20 to 7 victory
over Birmingham-Southern in Cram-ton
Bowl in Montgomery.
The following week Howard College
was encountered and the Tigers
emerged winners over the Baptist foe
by practically the same count, 10 to 0.
With two weeks of rest, the Plainsmen
journeyed to Atlanta to face
Georgia Tech, but were turned back
in one of those freak football contests,
16 to 6. The Tigers outplayed
the Yellow Jackets in every phase of
the game except in the matter of
scoring points.
George Washington University was
next on the schedule. The heavier
Colonial outfit was too powerful for
the light brigade from the Plains and
the home team went down before a
16 to 6 score.
' A rejuvenated Tiger took the field
the following Saturday down in New
Orleans and ruined Tulane University's
homecoming program by trimming
the Greenies 13 to 7. Auburn
seemed on the road to the top again
after a lapse.
Duke University was encountered
in Durham, N. C, the following week
with the Tigers coming, out on the
short end of a 13 to 7 score.
Oglethorpe University of Atlanta
brought a strong outfit to Auburn
for the only home game of the season.
The Plainsmen, with most of the regulars
held on the sideline awaiting
the Georgia game the following week,
took the Petrels in camp with ease
by the score of 27 to 6.
Then came the highlight of the
season. Georgia, riding the crest of
Southern football, and with two in-tersectional
victories over N. Y. U.
and Yale lost to the Plainsmen in
Columbus, Georgia. Auburn played
perfect football to turn back the Bulldogs
14 to 6, in one of the most sensational
upsets of the year.
Florida turned the tables on Auburn
the following week with a 14
to 7 victory over the Tigers.
The South Carolina game, which
the Gamecocks won by a score of 16 to
14 completed the season.

By Hugh Cameron
Alabama won the Southeastern title
that Auburn and Tennessee held last
year, with five wins and one tie. The
tie was a scoreless game played with
Mississippi early in the season. This
makes the second year that the conference
winner had a tie game to mar
its record.
L. S. U. the runner up was also
undefeated, but had two ties to mar
its record. Tulane and Mississippi
State were the teams that tied the
Tigers.
Georgia, the conference leader until
Auburn blasted its hopes over in
Columbus, finished fourth in the race
with three wins and the lone Auburn
defeat.
Tulane and Georgia, both beaten
by Auburn finished ahead of the
Plainsmen in the final conference
standing. Florida and Georgia Tech,
both winning from Auburn
behind the Tigers.

TIGER GROWLS
By B. C. POPE
In keeping with the usual custom, the Plainsman today presents its 1933
All-Southeastern Conference teams. Every effort has been made to pick
the teams in an unbiased manner. As is the case each year, many worthy
players are not given roles of honor because there is not room. The whole
scheme of things is wrong, but as long as no one offers a better way out,
all-star teams will continue to be published.

Twenty-five Men Report To
Acting Coach Jordan For
Initial Practice
Approximately twenty-five candidates
for Auburn's 1933-34 basketball
team have answered the call for practice
this week-end and have been
working out daily at the gymnasium
court under the direction of Coach
Ralph Jordan who is in charge of the
basketeers in the absence of Coach
Sam McAllister. Coach McAllister
accompanied Coach Wynne to New
Orleans to attend the Coaches meeting
held there this week.
It is difficult to forecast Auburn's

HOWARD'S 5 & 10
Thanks You for
Your Patronage
and Wishes You
a Happy Christmas
Vacation.
Word has reached Auburn that
Coach Chet Wynne has been approached
by Kentucky authorities
with a view of signing the Tiger
mentor as head coach of the Wildcats.
He is reported to have visited
Lexington this week and is
said to have conferred with those
in charge.
The possibility of losing Coach
Wynne is viewed with alarm by every
loyal son of Auburn. His miraculous
feat of bringing Auburn from the
bottom of the conference ladder to
the top in three years will ever remain
as one of the greatest bits of
coaching in the history of football.
In addition, his amiable personality
and tact has endeared him to all
Tiger folowers. To lose him now
Home Made
Mexican Chili
DINTY MOORE'S PLACE
would be a terrible blow to Auburn
athletics.
Auburn, of course, would not
want to stand in the way of Coach
Wynne if he can better himself at
some other school. But as one
who has been familiar with Auburn's
football situation for many
years, I can fully realize the depths
to which the Tiger gridiron teams
may sink should the coaching situation
be again muddled and can
appreciate the high place which
Coach Wynne has directed the
Plainsmen during his four years
here.
Since his wonderful record at Auburn,
Coach Wynne has been one of
the most sought after coaches in
America. It is not at all certain
that he will accept this latest offer.
But the news that he has visited the
campus of the university concerned
indicates that he is more than n\ildly
interested.
Meanwhile, all that we are able
to do will be to sit and await the
outcome, and sincerely hope that
the popular Plainsman coach will
see his way clear to continue at
the helm of the Tiger's destiny.

Tiger Growls
By B. C. Pope
(Continued from page 3)
New Year's Day classic, a game which
is usually recognized as a national
championship affair. There are at
least a dozen teams in the country
one of which would make a better opponent
than the Columbia outfit. It is
like someone has said, it is Stanford's
party. It seems that Stanford is inclined
to invite a team which she
knows she can beat, regardless of the
popular attitude. ,
i Congratulations to Mike Welch
and Bennie Fenton for the honor
which has been given them by the
lettermen of 1933. This pair should
make excellent leaders during the
coming campaign.
Welch, while just recently coming
into his own as a regular, is a hard,
efficient worker, a player respected
by all. He was outstanding in several
games this past season, notably
the Georgia battle. He has starred
both as a substitute and as a regular.
Fenton was perhaps the outstanding
end in the conference the
past season. Possessing speed, cunning,
and daring, the Tiger flank-man
played almost perfect football
the entire year. An injured foot
slowed him up during the latter
part of the season, but still he
carried on.
His career as a regular dates back
to the Tulane game of 1932 when the
Lakeland flash was sent in to substitute
for the injured Porter Grant
during the early stages\>f the contest.
His performance in that game cinched
for him the left end position and
he has held it against all comers
since.
Fenton should be unanimous selection
for the mythical all-conference
team next season. \

Auburn's basketball team has started
working out in preparation for
a strenuous schedule^ which will be

Auburn's chances for a winning
outfit this early in the season, but
it is known that Coach Sam McAllister
has several promising candidates
out for his team.
