The Two Cadeks And Miss
McGraw Make Hit With
Audience Wednesday Night
CROWD IS LARGER
Third Program In Series Will
Be Tony Sarg's Marionnettes
Next Week
The second number of the Young
Artists Concert Series being sponsored
by the Auburn Players was received
by an enthusiastic crowd Wednesday
evening in Langdon Hall. Approximately
two hundred listeners
were present, showing a substantial
gain in attendance over the first concert.
The second concert artists troupe
was composed of Miss Helen McGraw,
pianist; Ottokar Cadek, violinist; and
Harold Cadek, cellist. Each of the
artists entertained the crowd with a
series of solo numbers in addition to
the trio compositions.
Appreciation of the audience was
evidenced by the whole-hearted applause
which greeted the completion
of each number. The entertainers
were called back repeatedly, and obliged
the audience by allowing at least
one encore for each series of numbers
on the program.
Ottokar Cadek, violinist, was especially
pleasing with his series of
three numbers from the works of
Fritz Kreisler. "Caprice Viennois,"
the great composer's most popular
production, seemed to strike a responsive
chord in the hearts of the entire
audience, while "Tambourin Chinois",
portraying Kreisler's impression of
San Francisco's Chinatown, might be
considered as the climax of the program.
The trio of artists completed the
concert with a collection of folk music
numbers. An Irish melody, a
Spanish tango, a Negro spiritual and
a Hungarian Dance were on the regular
program, and for encore the musicians
played an Oriental Dance. The
familiar melodies of these folk numbers
were impressively stamped upon
the memories of the listeners. The
American number, the only American
melody presented, was a Coleridge-
Taylor production, while the Hungarian
Dance was one of the series of
twelve that first brought fame to
the composer Brahms.
Antonin Dvorak, Gluck, Wagner,
Chopin, Schubert, Liszt, and Albeniz
were among the other composers from
whom the concert artists obtained
their numbers. Two of the cellist solo
productions were from a special cello
arrangement by Leo Schulz, formerly
of the New York Philharmonic Orchestra.
He obtained his original
compositions from Gluck and Wagner.
Miss McGraw, in her series of solo
numbers, interpreted the piano selections
of Chopin, Griffes, Schubert and
Liszt with great skill.
The third program on the series is
Tony Sarg's marionettes, always popular
with both the children and the
grownups. Following the marionette
program, Edward Kane, tenor, will
complete the series of four Wednesday
evening entertainments sponsored by
the Auburn Players.
After an absence of two weeks
because of injuries Harry Whitten
has again donned moleskins and
will get in the Kentucky game tomorrow.
TICKETS TO DUKE
TUT GO ON SALE
Announcement From Athletic
Department Says Ducats To
Be Sold Next Week
According to an announcement made
today by the Athletic Department of
the college, student tickets for the
Duke game, November 3, will be sold
at the stadium rather than at the
local ticket office in the gymnasium
The student tickets will sell for 40c
each and coupon No. 7 of the ticket
book will be required. There are to
be two ticket windows located in South
End of the West Stand at Legion
Field, one for students buying tickets
only and the other for students desiring
to buy guest tickets in addition.
Guest tickets in the student section are
to cost $1.75. These ticket windows
will open at 12 o'clock in order to
expedite the handling of tickets. There
will be Auburn men at the ticket windows
to identify the holders of student
ticket books.
The reason for moving the ticket
sale to the stadium was to enable last
minute customers to buy student tickets
rather than limiting the sale to
preceding days at Auburn. The student
sections will be sections DD and
CC, from the 15 to the 25 yard line,
West Stand. The best seats will be
put on sale first.
Prices for the general public are
$1.25, $1.75 and $2.25, depending on
the location of the seats.
LOCAL PLAYERS
ARE PRACTICING
FOR PLAY HERE
Community Players At Work
On First Play Which Will
Be Given Friday
WILL BE A COMEDY
Actors Have Broadway Successes
Scheduled For Production
During Year
The Auburn - Opelika Community
Players, under the direction of Charles
Floyd, are planning an active season,
and are now rehearsing for their
first play, which will be presented on
Friday, November 2, in Opelika, and
on Monday, November 5, in Auburn.
The Community Players have selected
for their first play a farce comedy,
"The Busybody" which promises to be
a success. The cast includes many
of those who were members last year
as well as several new ones.
Plays to be given during the season
will be chosen from the following
Broadway successes: "Icebound", by
Owen Davis; "It Won't Be Long
Now", by Milton Herbert Gropper:
"The Queen's Husband", by Robert
Emmet Sherwood; "Death Takes a
Holiday", by Alberto Cassella; "At
9:45", by Owen Davis; "L'Aiglon", by
Rostand; "Faint Perfume", by Zona
Gale; "Cradle Snatchers", by Med-craft
and Mitchell; "Brief Candle", by
Robert Hare Powel; "Moor Born", by
Dan Totheroh; "Loggerheads", by
Ralph Cullian; "The Whiteheaded
Boy", by Lenox Robinson; "Mrs. Temple's
Telegram", by Wyatt and Morris;
"The Cat and the Canary", by
Willard; "Helena's Boy", by Lublen-ski
Ehrlich; and "You and I", by
Barry.
Requests have been made by people
from both Auburn and Opelika that
performances of the Community
Players be given on Friday evenings
in both cities. Mr. Floyd stated that
because of the impossibility of having
dress rehearsals in Auburn, the play
must first be presented in Opelika.
He also said that Friday evening performances
will be given impartially
between the two places. The second
play will be presented on Thursday in
Opelika and on Friday in Auburn.
The Auburn-Opelika Community
Players were organized early last fall
by Mr. Floyd and were very active
during the entire season, having presented
six plays, most of which were
greeted with much enthusiasm. Among
the plays presented last year were
"The Brat", "The Vulture", and "Second
Childhood". Members of the cast
are chosen from citizens of either city
who are interested in dramatics.

Auburn High made it four straight
over high-school opponents Thursday
as they rolled up eleven touchdowns
to defeat a lighter and inexperienced
Fairfax eleven 72-0 on the local field.
It was one of the highest scores that
a local team has ever amassed.
Auburn started its deluge of points
in the first quarter as a Fairfax punt
was blocked to give the locals a safety.
Taking the safety kickoff Powell ran
it back in a fancy hip shifting exhibition
to the 33 yard line. A pair of
line plays were unsuccessful but Wilson
and Trotter collaborated on the
first of a series of passes that was
later to prove disastrous to Fairfax
and moved the ball up to the twenty-two.
Trotter and Hammock made
eight yards each to place the oval on
the six yard marker. A line buck with
Wilson carrying the ball left the ball
reposing on the 1 yard stripe where
Hammack dived over the goal for the
first Auburn touchdown. After that
Fairfax offered no resistance at all,
Auburn making one more in the first
period, five in the second, the half
ending 47-0 in favor of the locals.
As the second half opened Coach
Fowler sent a mixed aggregation on
the field and this combination added
four more markers. Elmer Almquist
replaced Powell at quarterback, Duncan
Wright took Wilson's left half
back position, Whatley alternated with
Trotter at right half and Ham came
back to take Hammock's fullback post.
The line was new from end to end and
these second-string forwards played
remarkably well. Wright took up
where Wilson had left off on the passing
tactics and completed several nice
aerials with Trotter for impressive
gains and touchdowns.
Against such a light team as Fairfax
brought to Auburn today no adequate
comparison of the way the different
players performed can be made.
Fred Hammock at fullback continued
his superb offensive game as he smashed
the Fairfax line to shreds. Wilson
only stayed in the first half, but his
passing left nothing to be desired.
Trotter accounted for six of the Auburn
touchdowns being on the receiving
end of Wilson's and Wright's
heaves four times and running the
touchdowns over the other two times.
Duncan Wright turned in a good game
as a substitute for Wilson, his principal
handicap being his lack of speed
in the broken field. Abb Chrietz-burg
in the line played a very vicious
tackling game at the snapperback position
and with a few more pounds
would be as good as Hugh Wright
who is the first-string pivot man.

Faith that the Auburn Tigers will
defeat the Kentucky Colonel* tomorrow
is declared by the Administrative
Committee in a telegram dispatched
Friday to Coach Jack Meagher and
his team at Lexington, Kentucky.
The telegram said, "We believe that
you can and will win over those Kentucky
Colonels. You represent an
outstanding institution and you have
made a creditable record this season.
You have improved remarkably. Kentucky
should be the turning point
from defeats to victories. We are

GOFF TO ADDRESS'
GROUP ON T. V. A.
Delta Sigma Pi Plans Interesting
Program For Remainder
Of Year
Delta Sigma Pi, national professional
business fraternity, in announcing
the plans for their program this year
stated that the aim of the meetings
will be to acquaint as many as possible
with the current economic problems
as are interested.
To this end Dr. Harold Hoffsommer,
supervisor of Rural Relief Research
for the cotton states and Director of
the Rural Relief Research in Alabama,,
led an open forum discussion
at the last meeting on the subject of
"Activities of the Federal Emergency
Relief Administration". At the next
meeting which will be held in the "L"
Building next Tuesday evening at
eight o'clock Dr. J. H. Goff will hold
the open forum on the "Tennessee
Valley Administration". All students
who are interested in subjects of this
nature are cordially invited to attend
these meetings.
Aside from the business of the day
the fraternity is offering a varied
program of socials, according to Mil-
Jer Pitts, president of the group. Tonight
the recently tapped pladges and
members will entertain with an oyster
supper at "The Lodge", the center for
the fraternity socials on the Yar-brough
place. The plans for this year
are to add a wing with a field stone
fireplace to the present building and
build a dam across a nearby stream
to form an artificial lake. These plans
are being carried out as rapidly as
possible. Work on the addition to the
house has already started.
The new pledges are: H. L. Harris,
R. B. Woods, H. L. Hooper, Bennie
Fenton, Jessie Childress, J. R. Burton,
Mills Thornton, and Milton Roth. At
the next meeting the scholarship cup
for last year will be presented to Milton
Roth whose average was above
90 for the two semesters.

Of Class Officers Nears;
Many Qualify
NOTICE!
There will be a convocation for all
students in Langdon Hall on Friday,
Nov. 2 from 11-12 o'clock. Classes will
be excused for the exercises and all
students are required to attend. (Called
by Bill Hughes, president Executive
Cabinet, approved by Administrative
Committee).
There are twenty-three nominations
for officers of the freshman class for
the fall election, eight of which are

was enlarged considerably by
a last minute rush. It was announced
by Funchess that anyone in the School
of Engineering, including freshmen, is
eligible to vote for the sophomore representative
to the Executive Cabinet.
This does not include chemical and
textile engineers, however, as they
have their own representative.
The election committee which consists
of Linwood Funchess, chairman,
Jack Coan, George Quinney, G. W.
Wood, Bill Cox, C. W. Walters, Lewis
Matthews, and Billie Lee, will conduct
the voting and the counting of the

For the first game in quite a
while Auburn is favored to win a
football game tomorrow. It looks
like Kentucky is in for a sound drubbing.
An Auburn football team that has
its sights set squarely on the bull's-eye
that is a Southeastern Conference victory
left here yesterday at noon for
Lexington. A more determined football
team never left the "village" for
a bootball battle. The Tigers are set
to breeze by their opponents for their
first conference game of the season.
However, the Wildcats hope to make
a drought of the threatened Auburn
point harvest so tomorrow's battle
should be something more than interesting.
Coach Wynne's gridmen also
lost a tough game last week, losing
to North Carolina by a 6-0 score, and
they, too are set for a victory.
The Plainsmen are none the worse
physically because of their heartbreaking
game with Vanderbilt last
Saturday. The squad is in fine physical
shape to run the Wildcats off
their feet for the entire sixty minutes.
By practical appliance of the theory,
Coach Meagher expects to prove that
there is strength in numbers in the
business of football. There's been
lots of talk concerning the hard charging,
and alert Tiger first line but
little has been said about the reserve
forwards. Through extensive drills
during the early part of this week
Meagher has uncovered several linesmen
who stack up favorably with
those who start Auburn's games. - He
expects to use two full teams to turn
the trick in the Kentucky tussle.

Students Here Enjoy
Education Reception
Kappa Delta Pi, honorary educational
fraternity, entertained students
in the School of Education with a
reception Tuesday evening in the recreation
center. Nearly three hundred
students and faculty members
were present during the evening.
The reception was given to acquaint
the students in education with Kappa
Delta Pi, with the faculty, and with
each other. . According to Randall
Parrish, president of the fraternity,
the reception for the educational students
is scheduled to become an annual
affair.
In the receiving line Tuesday evening
were Randall Parrish, Velma Patterson,
vice-president of the fraternity;
Dr. Paul Irvine and Dean Zebulon
Judd of the Education faculty; and
Dr. L. N. Duncan and Dr. B. H. Crenshaw
of the administrative committee.
Kappa Delta Pi is composed of students
selected from the upper quartile
of the junior and senior classes in the
School of Education. To be eligible,
a student must not only reach the
upper quartile scholastically, but must
also show evidences of leadership and
character.
Besides most of the educational faculty,
Kappa Delta Pi has in its membership
a number of faculty members
in other departments of the college.

Student Inactivity
At times, the absolute unconcernedness
and total inaptitude of the majority of the
student body in taking an active interest
in those things which concern them most
is both astounding and appalling in its
scope. Since The Plainsman has attempted
to bring to light some of the glaring faults
of Auburn student government, the method
of selecting publication heads, and other important
problems students haven't been
interested enough in these issues to even
spend a little time in thought over them.
Literally speaking, it takes a 'kick in
the face' to awaken most of us to some of
the things which we allow to continue unmolested
along their way. It takes pointed
attack on some individual organization to
arouse us to come out and assert ourselves,
and even then with only a small measure
of effectiveness.
If it was thought that opening a 'crusade'
against every existing condition on the campus,
whether good or bad, would ignite a
single spark of enthusiasm among the student
body, The Plainsman would begin immediately
to carry out such a plan. However,
all the potential energy which lies
sleeping throughout the school year is going
through a gradual process of decay, and if
some extreme emergency should arise, we
would find that we lack the requisites of
conflict-aggressiveness, leadership and organization.
It is not our desire to either wave a red
flag or to scream for one hundred percent
Americans; we merely wish to see if there
is left within the school any interest in any
activity in which the individual is called
upon to exert himself in some small way.
School Situation
Unless additional funds are made available
within the next month or two schools
in some 12 counties and cities of Alabama
will have to close before Christmas. By
February 1, 1935, approximately two thirds
of all the schools in the state will be closed
if present conditions continue.
To carry on the operation of the public
school of the state, approximately $3,598,-
294 will be needed in addition to anticipated
revenue.
There are only four counties and nine
cities and one Secondary Agricultural
School which will be able to operate for a
normal term during 1934-35.
This information was included in a report
given to the United State Department of
Interior. Such a report was requested so
that the Federal Government might have
some information as to the ability of the
states to carry on their educational program.
Estimates which were made after the
ending of the State's fiscal year last week
show that again this year, about 40% of
State appropriations for schools will not be
paid, due to lack of funds.
The hope has been expressed that with
the Federal Government asking for the financial
conditions of the educational program
some assistance will be forthcoming
from Washington.
The Plainsman
Again we wish to reiterate that The
Plainsman is your newspaper. It is open
at all times as a medium for the use of any
organization or any student on the campus
who wishes to place any pet aversion before
the school.
We have attempted to keep the paper
clean to the end that no material has appeared
in this paper which could not be
held above criticism from the standpoint of
morals. This paper has practiced in the
past and will continue to practice in the
future, the idea that no organization on
the campus is above reproach with the condition
inserted that in doing so any organization
may use an equally prominent space
in defense of the accusation. The strongest
man and the strongest organization can
prove their infallibility by the same means
used in opposition to them.
We repeat, The Plainsman is your paper,
your medium of self-expression, and as long
as the present students have control over
it, it will continue to be of that nature. We
encourage the submission of any ideas,
condemnations, or denials which are fit to
print.
What An Ending!
Bim Gump and Millie DeStross have married
each other. Bursting into the courtroom
overflowing with spectators gathered
to hear the verdict of their own DeStross vs
Gump ten million dollar breach of promise
suit, the nemlywed Mr. and Mrs. Gump
requested a dismissal of the case.
Clasping the smartly dressed Millie in
his arms, Bim Gump announced "The plaintiff
wishes to dismiss proceedings on the
grounds that our true feelings toward each
other have finally triumphed; on the
grounds that we love each other beyond
anything else on earth; on the grounds that
we have just been married."
This news, without a doubt, comes as
a complete shock to the thousands of readers
of the Gump comic strip. It has long
been the general opinion that Sidney Smith,
the cartoonist, fully intended to maintain
Uncle Bim's bachelor status ad infinitum.
It was at least fifteen years ago that
Bimbo first courted the Widow Zander.
Twice they contemplated matrimony only to
have exciting and unusual circumstances
prevent the consummation each time. Meanwhile
Widow Zander married Tom Carr,
but the Australian Croesus still pined away.
Finally he met Millie DeStross and marched
to the altar with her. We are all familiar
with Townsend Zander's treacherous breaking
up of their wedding and the resulting
law suit filed by Millie.
However, it is exertmely difficult for us
to accustom ourselves to think of Uncle
Bim as a husband. Yet his bulldog tenacity
displayed in seeking his life's mate has
been so remarkable that we are delighted
to offer him congratulations on his final
success.
Federal Relief
We are wondering just where it all will
end, meaning precisely this federal relief
problem. Each month a new high is written
into the records as Uncle Sam goes
deeper and deeper into the philanthropic
business. During the first two years of
the present administration the excess of
expenditures over revenues amounted to
over nine billion dollars. We now hear
that the State of New York finds that the
October relief needs for this year are greater
than at any time since 1929. In spite
of the beneficial effects of the New Deal,
the Administration, we are afraid, is in for
a good deal of sniping by the opposition in
view of facts such as this. It would seem
to us that somebody is going to put up a
terrible squawk when certain of these governmental
projects are withdrawn and the
time comes to pay the fiddler.
But is this situation the worst this coun-t
r has ever seen? By no means. The cost
of the participation of the United States in
the World War, exclusive of the loans to
the allied government and the expenses of
our Government on a peace time basis was
$23,400,000,000. The total bill for the New
Deal this is less than the cost of one year of
participation in the war, and in place of the
deaths of 126,000 American citizens we have
1,760,000 people drawing pay from relief
funds. To quote James P. Buchanan, Chairman
of the House Committee on Appropriations,
"If the cost of defeating the depression
should approximate one-fourth our
cost of the World War it would mean money
well spent.
The Distinguished Service Medal of the
alumni association of Oberlin College has
been presented to Dr. Dan F. Bradley, 77,
Congregational church pastor.
Idle Ems
The concert presented in Langdon Hall
last night was of the finest type . . . Students
and townspeople who missed hearing
the noted trio are indeed unfortunate . . .
If Auburn wins a football game all season
we believe it will be the Kentucky game . ..
Too bad we have to miss seeing it. . . .
We need more inspiring poems such as the
one which appears in Footprints today to
print . . . Students are still slow in having
their Glomerata photographs taken. . . .
Your cooperation will help the Glomerata
staff no end in their effort to produce a
creditable yearbook. . . .

AS I SIT HERE sipping my mint
julep I cannot help but think of the
game last Saturday between Alabama
and Tennessee. There were more
drunks in the stadium at Legion Field than
I saw in Cramton Bowl when we played
Birmingham-Southern. Nevertheless the
greater majority of these inebriated persons
were alumni and townspeople. The students
as a whole behaved themselves very
well. This, I believe, is true in the majority
of the cases when the news papers
and other media of communication accuse
the students in general of drinking and
misbehavior at athletic contests. If the
officials of the various stadiums would
reserve a section for students and allow
none but bona fida students to sit in these
sections it would go far in correcting the
impression that the public has of college
students, i. e., that they are nothing but a
bunch of sots.

Returning to the campus, I would like
to say something about the Glomerata contract
for Art Editor. It seems that last
year the order of electing an art editor was
changed a bit. Instead of electing an art
editor by vote of the Junior class it was
decided that the Glomerata staff would ask
for bids on the job and that price as well
as quality of work would govern the letting
of the contract. To the best of my knowledge
this procedure was carried out. Complications
arose this year, however, when
several art students approached me and
told me that an art editor had been selected
without the usual procedure. These art
students asked me why it was that the contract
had been let and they had not been
notified or asked to bid on the matter. Personally
I do not know why the staff of the
Glomerata took upon themselves the responsibility
of appointing an art editor
without first asking for bids as did the
staff of last year. However, it appears to
me that they had a good friend who could
draw fairly well and decided that if bids
were submitted that they could not give
him the contract and still have a clear
conscience. In other words it looks to me
like the old politics . . . you help me get
elected and I'll give you a good job.

"After a lapse of two years, freshman
rules are being put into effect at Bucknell
University this week in an attempt to
'bolster lagging college spirit'." "A school
spirit committee of four seniors, three juniors,
two sophomores, and one freshman
will have as its purpose the drafting and
enforcement of strict rules. Hazing, however,
is still under a university ban." This
is a clipping from the New York Times
which appeared on their Educational page.
Certainly you will see the need for just
such a committee here at Auburn. Why,
only yesterday I saw a freshman wearing
a rat cap on the campus. Though the college
does not have a ban on hazing, we are
much too civilized to participate in such a
crude manner of treating human beings.
However, freshmen do need discipline of
some sort. Otherwise they will never understand
the real meaning of school spirit.
I am heartily in sympathy with the students
at Bucknell and I believe that a similar
movement should be started at Auburn.
At any rate, something should be done to
curb the freshmen here before they run over
the upperclassmen. This is your school,
students, I am simply calling your attention
to a situation as I see it, it is up to
us to do something about it.
* * * *
Most anybody can bolsteT up his courage
during a crisis. Often are heard the tales
of an amazing degree of heroism manifest
by the average individual during the stress
of a great catastrophe. But it is the long
pull of hopeless drudgery and of prolonged
discouragement that tests the true worth
of human character.
Now is the time to stand fast or to guard
ourselves against impatience. Nothing was
ever gained by impatience or by the headstrong
demand for haste in a situation that
called for sound thinking and intelligent
planning. "Rome wasn't built in a day."
It isn't easy to detour through mud and dust
while the highway is being built, but the
end makes worthwhile all discomfort.
Many believe that the depression indicates
a weakness in our social order. If
this is true, then there can be no shortcut
to renewed prosperity. It is upon sound,
thinking and intelligent planning that the
future of society depends. In a situation
such as the one that exists today there is
only this for us to do: think, plan, and
study so that when recovery does arrive,
it will be a real construction and not just
another boom.

Below is a masterpiece which we present for your approval. No comment is
needed concerning this poem:
They leave us in the spring time
They greet us in the fall,
We are glad to see them returning
For with them comes tigers and football.
Verse No. 2
They hit our village with a frown
Cause most of the girls are in another town,
But in June they leave us with a sigh
For they become devoted to old A. P. I.
Verse No. 3
During the first few weeks to come
Many hearts beat gladly to the music and the drum,
Then out on the field to practice they go
For they love dear old Auburn so.
Verse No. 4
They work faithfully and hard during these days
And do their best to win all the plays,
Then last when Ga. Tech comes along
We are backing them with our Alma Mater song.
Verse No. 5
Exams now over the dances begin
And the way the boys cut up is simply a sin,
They dance the toes right off their shoes
Then last but least they get drunk on booze.
Verse No. 6
All of this Auburn life—
Women and liquor is such a strife,
True they must work without a fear
So they-may return again next year.
A Verse No. 7
But still we leave old Auburn
And her flag of Orange and Blue,
v For thruout the years of her history
She has never failed to be loyal and true.
Such feeling! Truly, a masterpiece.

IS AUBURN REMOVED TO
MISSISSIPPI?
Various things on the Ole Miss campus
during the past four years have met with
the disapproval of the writer, but never
during that time has anything more thoroughly
disgusting been observed than the
incident which took place in Fulton Chapel
last Tuesday night during the performance
of the Avon Players. While the great majority
of the audience was enjoying the
splendidly rendered play, a small group
composed of freshmen, upperclassmen and
high school students, occupied their time
while sitting on the first two rows in throwing
pennies from time to time on the stage
—as though they were observing a street
show or some performance of like rank. In
the first place such action on the part of
this group inevitably leads to the degeneration
of the reputation-of the University,
which is in turn a reflection on every student
and faculty member. Likewise, it
immediately brands the participants in this
disgusting display as lacking in rearing,
taste, and etiquette. The idea of the "penny
throwers" in their uncouth actions is
not known. If it was to demonstrate distaste
for a high class performance, it failed;
If it was to be smart in any sense of the
word, it failed; if it was to be collegiate,
it failed; but if it was to be asinine, it
succeeded. Such inexcusable conduct cannot
be too bitterly condemned.—The Miss-isaippian.

MONTEVALLO YEARBOOK RECEIVES
HIGH RATING
Montevallo, Ala.—The 1934 Technaia, at
the recent National Collegiate Press Association
Convention in Chicago, was the only
college annual in its class to receive Ail-
American rating, which is the highest honor
obtainable for any yearbook. Ail-American
Honor Rating means superior rating. This
is the first Technaia to receive AH-Ameri-can
rating.
The Technaia was entered under the classification
of universities and colleges of an
enrollment of 500 to 999. Those things
which were considered in the judging were:
The plan of the book and its theme, the
division devoted to administration and instruction,
the senior album section and
classes, activities, organizations, school life
and special section, editing and make-up,
mechanical considerations, and originality,
innovation and novelty.
Marjorie Goff (Mrs. J. T. Bagwell), class
of 1934, was the editor of this yearbook.

BAN ON SOCIAL ACTIVITIES BE
LIFTED AT KY.
Lexington, Ky.—The ban on social activities
due to a threatened infantile paralysis
epidemic will be lifted the latter part
of this week if no more cases develop, it
was stated yesterday afternoon by Dr. John
S. Chambers of the University dispensary.
No change in the regular scholastic program
will be made, but all fraternities, sororities
and similar organizations have been
asked to postpone heir meetings and social
functions by Dr. T. T. Jones, dean of men.
The University is cooperating with the
state board of health and the city board
of health in asking that every precaution
be taken by the students and in urging them
not to attend indoor gatherings any more
than is necessary.
Dr. Arthur T. McCormack, secretary of
the state board of health, complimented
Doctor Chambers on his method of coping
with the situation, and said that he did
not think it would be necessary to dismiss
any classes if the proper precautions were
taken.

"DUKE SPECIAL" WILL GO
TO KNOXVILLE
Durham, N. C.—A large exodus across
the mountains into the plans of Tennessee
will be undertaken this week-end by several
hundred Duke students who are planning
to witness the Duke-Tennessee football game
in Knoxville Saturday. As a result of the
large number of students who are anxious
to make the trip the Southern railway and
several bus corporations have indicated
that special means of traveling will be provided.
It was also announced that Duke
students would be carried for reduced rates.
Friday evening the Blue Devil special,
running via Asheville, will leave the Union
depot in Durham for the scene of the biggest
gridiron attraction of the week in
Dixie. This train will carry the Duke
university band, seventy or eighty pieces
strong, and members of the football team
as well as reporters and local Duke fans.

AN ENCOURAGING NOTE in Auburn's
athletic program has been
struck with the apparent disposition
of the present athletic directors towards
organization of a definite schedule of minor
sports. While the major sports will
naturally continue to hold the chief interest
of both the students and coaches, there is
still much that could be done in the way
of a more complete a|thletic program—
one in which a greater part of the student
body would have some active part.
In the past, such sports as swimming,
tennis, golf, and the like have been completely
neglected by those in charge of Auburn's
athletics. The past theory seems
to have been that of gathering here one
particular group of athletes, training them
to proficiency in the sports that would bring
Auburn intercollegiate fame, and completely
ignore the athletic needs of those students
who were not quite proficient enough
in the field of sport to bring glory to dear
old Auburn.
It has long been accepted in American
colleges that a definite program of physical
exercise is needed by students. In fact,
those on the outside often argue that colleges
stress athletics too much, to the detriment
of the student's mental development.
Yet of the seventeen hundred students here,
approximately one hundred take part in
some major sport. And it is only the major
sports that receive the attention of the
coaches. The other sixteen hundred are
left to shift for themselves, and to find
exercise and recreation where they may.
For them is left the role of spectator.
That the ordinary student wishes to take
part in athletics is evidenced by the number
taking part in the fraternity intra-murals,
by the student-organized and coached swimming
and tennis teams, and the success of
the local officers with a polo team.
These sports have provided wholesome
recreational facilities for a large number
of students, without warping their sense
of the relative importance of sports in college
life.
Still there are hundreds of students who
are forced to find their recreation in draping
themselves about the posts in the various
loafing spots during the afternoons.
There is ample opportunity for our coaches
to show their true breadth by evidencing
more than a mere interest in minor sports
and taking active control of an athletic
program that includes the majority of the
student body.
* * * *
ORDINARILY, the reading of Will Rogers'
syndicated daily paragraph impresses
me as a rather poor way of wasting fifteen
seconds; the gentleman's so-called wit
leaves me cold. But in Thursday's paragraph
he delivers himself of a bon mot that
is worthy of a smile from the most unsympathetic
of readers. After commenting
on the England to Australia air derby and
praising the ability of the fliers who reached
the goal, he says this: "Watch my good
friend Bisbane. He will have Japan flying
into California for lunch."
That shaft of irony should get a rise
from the highest paid columnist in the
world, Mr. Arthur Brisbane. A devotee of
the sensational in journalism, Brisbane is
continually making dire prophecies to the
effect that the next war will see a swarm
of airplanes as thick as gnats on a summer's
eve swooping down on our great industrial
centers, blowing whole city blocks into the
proverbial smithereens, and removing entire
city populations from this vale of tears.
Which picture should make shivers of horror
run up and down one's spine; but it
doesn't for the simple reason that it's entirely
improbable. Usually, the first scene
of Mr. Brisbane's picture shows a fleet
of 'planes from Europe or the Orient dumping
ton after ton of explosives on a defenseless
city. He evidently overlooks the fact
that the mechanical birds must cross thousands
of miles of water; retain their formations
in spite of weather, engine trouble,
etc.; carry enough explosives to do some
damage when they get here, in addition to
heavy loads of gasoline; and completely
evade all enemy defense craft. No, I can't
see our cities being turned into shambles
by hostile air fleets. Mr. Brisbane's predictions
are more amusing than appalling.
* * * *
IN CONNECTION WITH the preceding
paragraph, I remember a story that the
War instructor told in class one day. Up
in North Carolina the army was having some
maneuvers; in other words, they were practicing
up in the gentle art of mass murder.
During three whole days, the air force dropped
bomb after bomb on a bridge, finally
succeeding in chipping off one of the corners.
Then, disgusted, the army people
turned loose the artilltry on the bridge.
In a couple of hours, all that remained of
the structure was a shapeless wreckage of
steel and concrete.

* * * Conference Teams Engage In Headline Grid Battles Saturday Afternoon
CONFERENCE GRID
ELEVENS TAKE ON
BIG ASSIGNMENTS
Feature Gaines Will Be Played
In Southeastern Conference
Tomorrow
By Jap Parrish
The premier grid elevens of the
Southeastern and Southern Conferences
marshal their forces for another
colorful weekend of football tomorrow
as the last half of the current campaign
begins for most of the teams.
Vanderbilt and Louisiana State
University, undefeated and untied
within the Conference, clash in Nashville
in the most important football
attraction that the Southeastern has
to offer on tomorrow's menu. Vanderbilt
and L. S. U. both rode the
heights to victory last Saturday, the
Commodores emerging victorious over
a gallant Auburn aggregation 7-6,
and the Purple Tigers from the bayous
of Louisiana coming through with
a brilliant 16-0 victory over the strong
University of Arkansas Razorbacks.
It will be an interesting affair up
there in Nashville tomorrow and will
provide spectators with a thrilling afternoon.
Abe Mickal of L. S. U. and
Rand Dixon of Vanderbilt are the offensive
aces of their respective teams
and both .elevens will be striving to
keep their records clean.
Tennessee, after a 13-6 defeat at the
hands of Alabama, journeys to Durham
in a game second only to the
Vandy-L. S. U. in interest. Duke
has been going strong this season and
will endeavor to make it two straight
over Coach Neyland's Volunteers
whom they defeated last year 10-2.
Duke has run roughshod over its opponents
to date, its 21-0 defeat of
North Carolina being its most outstanding
achievement to date. The
Blue Devils, coached by Wallace Wade,
have one of the most powerful football
machines in the country and will
probably have to call this power into
use tomorrow as Tennessee, with the
redoubtable Charlie Vaughn in the
backf ield, also has one of f ootballdom's
ace aggregations.
Louisville Station Will
Broadcast Kentucky Tilt
Elmer G. Salter, director of
sports publicity here, has been
informed that the Auburn-Kentucky
football game in Lexington
tomorrow will be broadcast over
radio station WHAS at Louisville.
The detailed play-by-play account
of the game will come
through the University of Kentucky
studios at the Louisville
station. Although the game
doesn't begin until 2:00 P. M.,
the program will get underway
at 1:45.
WHAS is a 50,000 watt station
and operates on a nationally
cleared channel of 820 kilocycles,
so Auburn fans who are
unable to make the trip to Lexington
should be able to get this
broadcast.

A flawless performance against
Louisiana State in Baton Rouge by
Bennie Fenton, alternate-captain and
outstanding end of Alabama Poly's
1934 football team, won for the Lakeland,
Fla., senior a position on the
weekly all-Southeastern Conference
grid team named last week by radio
station WSM in Nashville.
Fenton, a superior flankman in each
of Auburn's five games this season,
excelled as an all-around star against
the Purple Tigers in Baton Rouge.
He was proficient both on the offense
and defense. His sensational block of
the only L. S. U. player having a
chance of tackling Millard Morris enabled
the Plainsmen's other regular
While the Alabama-Georgia, Tulane-Georgia Tech, and L. S. U.-Vandy
games hold the center of interest in the South because of the championship
hopes involved, the Auburn-Kentucky meeting up in Lexington will not be
without its following. Auburn's games are always watched closely by football
observers in the South, but now, a keener interest is being manifest in
the team because of its super-schedule and the improved play of its members
from week to week. In meeting the Wildcats with what is not conceded an
even chance to win by the majority of sports writers, the Tigers fortune
will be closely watched. Also there is the appealing element of the Plainsmen
striving to defeat a team coached by their former head mentor, Chet
Wynne.
To us here on the campus, it will be Auburn's big chance. The
members of the team feel that way about it too, and nothing would
please them more than to present their popular coach, Jack Meagher,
with his first Conference win, and at the same time, prove to Coach
Wynne that Auburn still has a football team.
So the Tigers enter a game, for the first time this, season, with the
odds not stacked against them. This in itself should help the boys
in their fight for victory.
* * »
We believe that the Plainsmen will
rise to heights and play their best
game of the year against the Wildcats.
We believe their performance
will eclipse even that of last Saturday
against Vanderbilt. This is Auburn's
game of games. The Tigers are out
to win and win decisively.
* * *
Going into the fifth week of battle,
we find at least four games which
we would like to refuse to forecast.
But we grit our teeth and take a
chance. Who knows, we might be
right.
The picks:
Auburn 13; Kentucky 6.
Kentucky makes its initial appearance
against a Southeastern Conference
foe in Lexington, Jack Meagher's
Auburn Tigers invading the Blue
Grass regions for the first time. Kentucky
has lost one game to date and
will be primed to hurl the bulk of
their offensive strength against the
Plainsmen tomorrow.
Alabama tackles a second dangerous
opponent in the Georgia Bulldogs.
The Crimsons beat Tennessee 13-6
last Saturday and unless a reaction
sets in should take the Bulldogs in
stride. The Bulldogs, predicted in
early season prognostications as one
of the crack elevens, hasn't looked so
good in games to date, losing to
North Carolina and Tulane on successive
Saturdays. However, these
two defeats may react favorably on
the Red and Black with the consequent
result that an upset is a possibility
when the two State elevens
meet tomorrow.
Tulane, on the basis of its impressive
record to date, should have little
trouble in disposing of Georgia Tech,
although the Yellow Jackets have been
coming along as a squad to be reckoned
with. Michigan eked out a 9-2
victory over the Jackets last week.

wingman to travel unmolested for 98

block was easily the highlight of the

praise from all corners.
Brilliant covering kicks and recovering

raking in passes and tackling and

prove a thriller. It will be a battle
from the start with the respective
stars, Ran Dixon, of the Commodores,
and Abe Mickal, of the Tigers, leading
the charge. On the basis of past performances
the Bayou Bengals have a

Revenge! Will Georgia Tech's Baby
Jackets be able to get their much desired
revenge for the 21-14 trimming
handed them last year by a powerful
Auburn freshman eleven? This question
will be answered this afternoon
when the two teams meet in their
annual grid duel at Drake field. The
kick-off is scheduled for 2 p. m.
Since classes in Auburn will be excused
at 2 p. m. a large crowd of
Tiger rooters is expected to attend
the closing game of the 1934 Plainsman
freshman schedule. The Georgia
Tech tilt is usually the most colorful
game on the rat schedule—and this
year's meeting of the two schools will
most likely turn out to be the most
colorful played in Auburn this year.
Georgia Tech's eleven will be no
pushover for the Tiger rats. Mack
Tharpe, Tech's freshman coach, has a
heavy and dangerous first year team.
According to reports from Atlanta,
Georgia Tech has one of the most
powerful freshman elevens in several
years.
There are four men on Tech's team
that should need considerable watching
and may at any time prove a dangerous
foe to the Tigers. Allen and
Jones, both ends, have shown up exceedingly
well in practice; as have
Konneman and Scrappy Edwards, two
good backs.

Whitehead, who only tips the scales
at 160, is one of the most improved
players on the squad. He is smart

one of the guard positions. The' other,

starter at center. Although he

his improvement has been rapid
enough to warrant him a starting position

tackle; Sivel, guard; and Whitten,
center are other linemen who should
see action some time during the afternoon.
Reserves in the backfield are Davis,
quarterback; Hitchcock, Scarborough,
Suydam, and Fenton, halfbacks; and
Smith, fullback. All of these men are
good players and it is unlikely that
any of them will not see service.
Even though Georgia Tech boasts
a heavy team, Auburn hopes to match
the Baby Jacket's weight. The line
that will start the game averages at
least 185 and the backfield has an
average around 165.

AUBURN OUT FOR FIRST
SOUTHEASTERN VICTORY
(Continued from Page 1)
The Plainsmen backs are set for
another fine performance, too. Last
week they showed that they have the
stuff that makes good backs and they
are out for more touchdowns.
Kentucky boasts of two excellent
linemen in Rupert, end, and Wagner,
tackle. Both these men bolster the
left side of the Wildcat line, but their
right side appears to be a little weak.
Johnson, left half, and Pritchard, full
back, are said to be the best ball carriers
in the South. They are the
men Auburn will have to watch if
Kentucky is stopped.
This game means a lot to Auburn
students and other fans. They have
banked most of their hopes for a conference
win on this game. Too, they
are anxious to show Wynne what kind
'of eleven represents Tigertown this
year. From every angle it is "the
one game" Auburn especially wants to
win. Win, lose, or draw it will be a
thrill-packed and hard fought game.
Rated Auburn's sixth end at the beginning
of the 1934 campaign, Hamp
Williams, sophomore from Andalusia,
has progressed so fast the last two
weeks that he now occupies the No. 3
position in the Tigers' terminal ranks.

team in '27.

to the fullback ranks and Dan Law-son,
who broke his arm practically on
the eve of the opening game of the
season, is once again in good physical
trim and has bolstered the tackles.
Lawson played against Vandy in
Nashville and had the cast removed
off his mended wing after the tilt
with the Commodores.
Whitten was more or less a member
of the doubtful class until he engaged
in his first rough work of the week in
preparation for Kentucky. He failed
to reach his top playing form in his
first scrimmage in over two weeks,
but he did not favor his wound and
should rapidly attain his peak as a
player.
