Mr. O. B. Andrews Speaks
to Upper Classmen
Auburn was honored by the
presence of one of its alumni O.
B. Andrews of the Class of '01, at
the convocation period last Thurs­day.
Mr. Andrews is past Interna­tional
President of Civitan Club

largest manufacturing business of
its kind in the world, manufactur­ing
corrugated paper boxes. He
is also President of the Fairyland

resorting on Lookout Mountain.
He was the last of three brothers
to come to Auburn.
Mr. Andrews gave a very enter­taining
as well as inspirational
speeeh. He told of a few of his
experiences while a student at Au­burn
such as painting, green, of
Mrs. Fraziers pony. He stressed
the fact that the leaders in college

talk by W. G. Sellars in which he
enumerated the advantages of class
athletics.
Several impromptu speakers
were called, the purpose of which
was to vdecide whether or not the
club desired, to accept the chal­lenge
for a debate extended by
the Ag. Club of the University of
Georgia. Each of these speakers
was strongly in favor of accept­ing
the challenge, and after putting
the matter to a pbpular vote, it
was decided that the challenge
would be accepted,. The date of
the debate will be announced lat­er.
The next meeting of the club
will be held on Wednesday, Feb.
18. Professor Burns will be the
principal speaker of the evening.
At their meeting on February 11
the local branch of the A. I. E. E.
heard, one of the most interesting
speakers of the year. Mr. Boring
representative of the General Elec­tric
Company talked on selecting
men. His visit,to the college was
made to select seniors of the elec­trical
and mechanical courses for
positions with his company.
Mr. Boring began by telling of
the things* that college students are
apt to neglect but which at-the
same time are highly important.
He mentioned the writing and dic­tation
of letters as a thing of im­portance
to engineers. The abili­ty
to meet people he gave as most
essential. Good first impressions
go a long way. To create these
impression, one should be careful
of his dress and manners. Among
other thing that he urged young
engineers to learn were: dancing
and public speaking.
Along another line the speaker
told of some of his company's
interesting work. This, which is
ever increasing, was given as
work on wired wireless, radio,
electric railways, quartz, tele­scopes,
loud-speakers, cables, and
x-rays. These he gave as offering
opportunities to. young engineers.
In conclusion Mr. Boring said that
work on these and other lines was
open to graduate engineers who
went with his company.

A. S. C. E. Holds Meeting
The American Society of Civil
Engineers held their bi-weekly
meeting last Monday night, with a
small but enthusiastic attendance.
Due to the excessive precipitation
some of the scheduled orators fail­ed
to • make ,their appearance, and
therefore' the feast of reason and
How of soul was of sh^rt duration.
Mr. Drake, popular Senior, rose
amid thunderous applause and
proceeded to lecture on transmis­sion
lines in general and the Un­ion
Springs-Tallassee line in par­ticular.
Mr. Drake gave a force­ful
discussion, lightening his talk
with numerous ancedotes, which
were well received.
The next speaker on the pro­gram
was Mr. Macintosh, the "Pis­tol
Pete" of the Civil Class. Mr.
Macintosh gave a very interesting
talk on coal mining, supplement­ing
Mr. Harkin's lecture on Ore-mines
of the preceding meeting.
In his talk, Mr. Macintosh told of
some of the difficulties of mine sur-very,
and then elaborated on the
system of panel mining, which he
said was the safest of all methods
in use.
This talk concluded the oratori­cal
program of the evening, and
the meeting became a business af­fair.
Mr. Scott spoke of the pres­sing
need of funds in order to se-sure
a picture in the Glomerata,
and therefore President Carter se­lected
a committee of three to col­lect
the funds from the members of
the society. In thesq selections
President Carter showed his ex­ecutive
ability by selecting the
three most likely to extract funds.
Mr. Scott, the polished and suave,
who might be able to argue one
away from one's cash; Mr." Har-kins,
six feet three and brawny,
whose presence would, be sure to
lend force to the plea; and last­ly
Mr. Macintosh, whose prowess
with the .45 would be sure to
clinch the discussion in favor of
payment.

AVBVUN SPIRIT DEMONSTRATED
- A notice stating the time and place of the loss of a twenty dol­lar
bill was turned, in to the Lost and Found department of the col­lege
recently. On the day after the notice was run on a slide at
the college ^Picture Show, a student reported that he had found
the missing bill. After finding the owner, the student returned the
bill to him.
The spirit demonstrated by the student is the real Auburn Spirit.
The spirit of absolute honesty. Needless to say it takes a real man
to return a twenty dollar bill, when it is perhaps needed badly by
the finder, when there is no chance whatsoever of being detected.
Auburn is proud of such a man.
We hope that the campus will soon be green with a good coat of
grass. It has a good chance if only the thoughtless ones will stop
cutting corners. Let's make the campus beautiful.
The conduct at the Picture Show has improved. This is a very
gratifying condition. Auburn men need only to have their attention
called to misconduct.
So the twenty-second will come on the twenty-third this year.
Election to Phi Kappa Phi is the reward of good scholarship.
Freshmen might remember this and begin stimulating their averages
now. Good averages for the first two years make it much easier
for the last two. Make high scholarship one of your goals.
The Senior invitation committee is to be congratulated, on their
good work.

the penalty given in the past. We
suggest that for the first .offense, the
penalty shall be loss of credit on
the course, probation for the rest
of the year, and the name and of­fense
of the offender be read to the
students and published in The
Plainsman. For. a second offense
the penalty shall be expulsion from
school with the same publicity as
in the first case.
Mail all suggestions to some mem­ber
of the committee and they will
be presented to the student body
at a later date.

Results of Debate
Preliminaries
Ramsay Hall is fast taking the shape of a beautiful building.
Mr. Brown, the famous Bassoon .player, is herewith promoted to
the Junior class so far as we are concerned. We regret very* much
the mistake of last week.
What does your honor mean to you?
An Appeal
To the Student Body:
In history we; read of men who
put honor, right and justice a*bove
everything, even life itself. Today
there are just ;as many real, live,
red blooded men, who stake all
on honor and right, as there ever
was. Auburn men belong to this
class. On the , athletic field, in
the class room, on the campus,
and in the examination room they
love clean sportsmanship, . truth,
honor, and right—but that, is not
the whole story. Le* us face the
facts squarely. Do you believe the
honor system at Auburn is one
hundred percent efficient,'1 Your
answer must be no, it is not func­tioning
properly. It does not cre­ate
an atmosphere which makes it
difficult or uncommon ,for a man
to be dishonest.
Is it fair for the value of an Au­burn
diploma, and the name of
the, school, which follows a man
through life, to be lowered by dis­honesty.
What do you think should
be done to remedy the situation.
As a committee elected by the stu­dents
and supported by you, we
have several suggestions to make:
1. We want suggestions and co­operation
from the students.
2. We want a corps of about fif­ty
men, who believe in the honor
system and know that it will
work, to go before all the classes
at various'times during the year;
and tell the fellows who forget, that
Auburn men believe in honor and
that true Auburn men go straight.
3. We ask that'you give us the
right to fix a penalty for violators
of the code, which differs from
The preliminaries for the, inter­collegiate
debates were held last
Friday. From the numbers try­ing
^for places on the team, four
were selected for each team. At
the next tryout two from these
four will be| selected. The two se­lected
will be Auburn's represen­tatives
in the debates.
On the Chemical Warfare ques­tion,
the following were selected
King, Lynne, Nunn, and Kurtz..
On the child labor amendment
question; Brown, McLennan, Bel­cher
and Brown, were selected.
There is a) wealth of material on
hand for both debates and it is a
certainity that the fame and glory
of Auburn's fair name wil"l be up­held
in Gainsville, Florida, where
~the U. of Fla. is situated, and in
Macon, Ga., where Mercer U. holds
sway, when Auburn's debating
Cicero's shall visit these fair dom­iciles.
STATES WITH INDIAN NAMES
Twenty-two of the states have
names of Indian origin. They are:
Alabama, Arkansas, Connecticut,
Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kan­sas,.
Kentucky, Michigan, Minneso­ta,
Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska,
North arid South Dakota, Ohio,
Oklahoma, Tennessee, Utah, Wis­consin
and Wyoming.

MOZART
It is doubtful if anybody knows
the exact spot where Mozart is
buried. A violent storm was rag­ing
at the time of the funeral, and
the hearse went its way unaccom­panied
to the churchyard, and his
body was committed in the pau­pers'
corner. In 1859 the city of
Vienna erected on the probable
spot a monument to his memory.
If I were asked what single
thing stamps the University of
Virginia as different from any oth­er
educational institution that *
have come in contact with, I could
without hesitation answer, its hon­or
system.
The honor system at Virginia is
really an institution in itself and
its spirit pervades the entire uni­versity.
No matter what particul­ar
phase of student life and activi­ty
one is interested in, he will
find that the entire spirit with
which the affair is conducted im­bued
with the spirit of the honor
system.
The athletic field is no excep­tion
to the rule and it is there that
11 have met it most frequently. In
the -first place, when the men are
placed on a training pledge the
coach of that particular sport may
be assured that his Virginia ath­letes
are going to keep that pledge.
A man may chase his trainer all
over the university to be allowed
the privilege of a smoke, but if
the Trainer is not to be found, the
man will refrain, regardless of
how certain he is that one cigarette
would be allowed. Each man is
his own monitor in regard to this
and the Virginia coach will, never
have to set spies on his charges.
The pleges are not broken.
Another interesting thing is the
manner in which the various ath­letes'
eligibility is determined. Be­fore
a man is allowed to go out
for a sport, he must sign an eligi­bility
blank to the effect that he
is an amateur and eligible to par­ticipate
in that particular field of
athletics. The limitations are
printed on the slip. Just as the
training pledge, this comes under
the university's honor system. Oc­casionally
such pledges have been
false and the offender has been
summoned before the honor com­mittee,
composed of the various
presidents of their respective class-es,
convicted of a breadh of honor
and dismissed from the university.
To my mind, the best thing about
this system is the manner in
which it is handled. No faculty
members are in any way connect­ed
with it. It is regarded as the
sacred heritage of the students
and their leaders form the honor
committee. It is very seldom that
cheating is reported by a profes­sor.
It is the student body itself
that takes cognizance of offenses
against the code, and its members
never fail to make the report if
they witness its breach.
It is an impressive thing, this
honor system, and if it were not
for the re'markable personnel of
the student body it most certainly
could not function. The honor
code, has been handed down since i
lime immemorial and with the Vir­ginia
man it is a tangible thing
which he cherishes. An offense
against it is an offense against
him, his alma mater and its many
alumni. He is diligent in preserv­ing
it and will report its every
breach.
And when Virginia teams go in­to
action on the gridiron, mat,
court, or wherever it happens to
be, the spirit of the honor code is
still with them. To be sure they
want! to-win, but it must be a legi­timate
victory. There is no room
on a Virginia team for a "ringer"
and the term, "clean athletics," is
a by-word at the University of Vir­ginia.
-
Although I have been coaching
here only a short while, is there
any wonder why I have become
so attached to the place? Any
healthy minded athlete would re­vel
in the atmosphere that exists
at Virginia.- The men <raH«r-fce
field fighting for a( victory are al­ways
for Virginia, first, last and
always; and if I were again asked
what one thing makes it possible
for such i an excellent spirit to ex­ist
I would again answer, the hon­or
system. To the Virginia student
it will always be linked with that
which he loves the most in the
world and that for which he is
always ready to fight. It is his, I
and he means to hand it on With
the rest of hiS university's glorious
tradition.—Birmingham News, Sun- ^ J

FOR what kind of writing
do you use a pen ? How
do you hold it? And what
style of writing is entirely
natural to your hand ?
Close figure work or fine
memoranda, for example,
call for a fine or an extra-fine
point. But the medium point,
the broad, or the stub—these
give one's penmanship a per­sonality
and character that
win the world's respect.
So in the classic Duofold
Pen, Geo. S. Parker gives
the world the whole five de­grees

Wirt Literary Society
The Wirt-Literary Society held'
its regular meeting Monday night
at 7 o'clock. The attendance was
not so good, but those present
manifested a deep interest in the
program of the evening. Prof.
J. R. Rutland was present, on the
invitation of the society, and he
gave us a good talk on parliamen­tary
law. The speaker seemed to
know quite a bit about the subject,
as he discussed practically all
phases of parliamentary law. The
members -of the society were giv­en
the liberty to ask the speak­er
any questions they wished to
ask. Prof. Rutland has always
shown a deep interest in literary
society work, and we are glad, to
welcome him back to our society
again.
The Wirt's 'are confident of win­ning
the declamation contest
which comes off in March. All
the' old members are urged to at­tend
more regularly as their pres­ence
helps to influence the new
members: New members and vis­itors
are always welcome to the
Wirt.

Freshman Literary Society
Another peppy meeting of the
Rat Literary Society.
Captain Staton gave a long talk
on Parliamentary Law. It was a
subject that we didn't know very
much about at the time, but we
do now. How people could con­coct
so many laws to look after
every phase of any sort of public
meeting was beyond us, yet there
they were in black ' and white,
and as they were admirably set
forth by Captain Staton we began
to get a glimmering of what it was
all about. At any rate the immed­iate
adoption of some of the main
rules during the rest of the meet­ing
was very agreeable and our
business proceeded at a speed that
left some of us gasping. The so­ciety
is very grateful to Captain
Staton for his assistance. The
subject, of the new name for the
•society was! taken up and the fol­lowing
amendment proposed, to be
voted on next week; "This consti­tution
is hereby amended chang­ing
the name of this organization
from 'The Freshman Literary So­ciety,'
to the 'Evans Literary So­ciety,';
this change to become ef­fective
scholastic year beginning
in Sept. 1925." There is going to
bp another peppy meeting next
week at seven o'clock, Monday
evening Room 301, Main Building.

On Monday night, the A. S. M. E.
met in the Engineering Auditor-iur
for' its regular bi-monthly
meeting. After a short discussion
of business, the program was tak­en
up. Mr. G.-Lawson gave a talk
on "Flettner's Rotor Ship," which
was *very well given and much
enjoyed. "Is the Steam Locomo­tive
to Survive" was the topic of
Mr. J. B. Williams' talk, which was
also very good and instructive. It
was the first time this year that
the students were on the program,
which worked out so well that
the practice will be continued.

How Many Times a
Day Do You Eat?
Not a few times has the question
been asked, "How can I get down
to reading my Bible daily." To you
who have the question in mind,
are you ever hungry. Does not
the human side of your nature
know how to proceed when
you get hungry. If you do not
feel the spiritual hungering, then
it is time to be taking a look
at your heart, and let the Holy
Spirit diagnose your case and
prescribe the remedy.
Some time ago the world looked
on in wonder as Terence McSwin-riey
- slowly starved himself to
death. We cannot judge whether
or not the act was foolish. We
only know that today and daily
throughout the world there are lit­erally
millions of so called Chris­tians,
who,are starving themselves
to death spiritually, because they
are not getting the daily food God
has offered tb them. Just as our
daily food is necessary for the
building up of our physical bodies,
so the Bible in portions, daily, is
necessary for the maintenance of
a well raundied Christian.
The Bible is a civilizing force,
a character builder, a life giving
force, an inspirational force. There
is a message in the Bible tq cover
every condition, of every human
being in every walk of life.
Realizing the truth of these facts,
the B. Y. P. U. Instruction Com­mittees
are putting on a campaign
for enlisting all B. Y. P. U. members
in daily Bible reading. Therefore,
at the committee's request, the pas­tor
will preach a sermon next Sun­day
morning on the value of daily
Bible reading. You want a real
spiritual meal, let this sermon be
the first of the kind, and you will
want to follow that up each day
with a portion from the scriptures.
At church, next Sunday morning
the committee expects to see YOU.

JUNIORS WIN FROM
SOPHOMORES BY
SCORE OF 7 TOO
Long March In Third Quarter Too
Much for Sophs
y -
In a close and bitterly contested
game the Juniors won from the
Sophomores by the margin of a
lone touchdown. The contest was
a real football game in every re­spect,
and stands out as one of
the best class games seen here in
quite a while.
Although the, dopebook read
against them, Captain . Aldrich's
Junior team went in prepared to
win, and win they did, although
the margin was narrow and the,
stubbornest kind of resistance
was offered all the way. In fact
for the first half the Second Year
were leading on the matter of
yardage, and it looked as if the
game would have to be decided by
that method of scoring, as neither
team had shown any concerted of­fense.
With the second quarter about

Lo, the poor Freshman, how he
is abused and maltreated. But the
said poor Freshman got his re­venge
last week, and sweet indeed
Was the revenge. The Rodents
| went wild on Drake Field and
trampled on, of all persons, the
Lordly Seniors.
At that the Seniors had a good
outfit on the field, the only trouble
being that they had not been out
there long enough. In fact, five
of the fourtb-year taen reported for
the first time on the afternoon of
•tim- game.
On ,the other hand, Fenie Crane
and Senor Bull McFadden present­ed
a well trained outfit which tore
into the Old Men right at the start
and lost no time in making a touch­down.
The villain in thisi particu­lar
act of the play was Mr., or rath­er
Rat, Wood, who gave a pretty
exhibition of broken field running
and dodged through the entire Sen­ior
team for a sextette of points,
the other point being added im­mediately.
After this calamity the Seniors
braced somewhat and although the
Freshmen made first down after
first down they were unable to
cross the final strip of lime. The
Seniors seemed to gradually im­prove
as the game wore on and
the new men found out what the
plays were all about.
In the second half the Class of
'25 took the field with pep and en­thusiasm
and proceeded to launch
a real attack upon the astonished
Rats. Slowly but surely the Sen­iors
worked their way up the field.
However, the work of the Frosh
grew more desperate as their goal
line was approached and the Great
Senior Offense slowly died down,
never to rise again.
With the beginning of the next
quarter the Rats scored anothef one
when Jackson scooped up a fum­ble
and made a pretty run for a
touchdown. . After this the game
was practically over, although the
Seniors lived up to tradition by
fighting gamely until the final blast
of the whistle.

Aubun< Freshman basketball squad
\vas forced to send back from At­lanta
last Saturday night by virtue
of a 35-19 defeat at the hands of
the Tech Yearlings. The dazzling
pass work of the Tech Rats com­pletely
bewildered the team from
the. Plains and coupled with the
uncanny accuracy of the renowed
Tiny Hearn- put the finishing
touches on the k. o. At the end
of the first half the Junior Jackets
were leading 24-8 with the elong­ated
pivot accumulating 11 of this
totaL At the beginning of the sec­ond
half a fresh "Breeze" began
to blow when the entire team was
removed to give some of the oth­ers
a chance. They took advan­tage
of this opportunity by amas­sing
11 points. The Tiger Kittens
lead by Buck Ellis also garnered 11
points in the final frame, but the
lead was too difficult to over­come
if not impossible.
For the Orange and Blue Ro­dents
it was too much Tiny. For
the Plainsboys Ellis was 'the indi­vidual
star, pushing Hearn for
high shooting honors with twelve
points to his credit, and shooting
all but seven -of the total points
scored by his team.
This victory was the second for
the Junior Jackets over the Au­burn

Tiger Tossers Start Practice
Griffin & Co. Preparing For Success­ful
Plainsmen Whip
Soldiers in
Return Match
Infantry Loses Out in
Battle 38-26
Great
Springtime is slowly but surely
coming—baseball practice has
started in Auburn. Coach Ned
Cole has had his ball-tossers out
this week for the first time. For
the past week; or so, it is true, the
diamond artists have been out, but
as their work merely consisted in
running around the track many
times, it might be truly said that
baseball practice has just begun.
The first work has been very
ligh* consisting mostly of shag­ging
of flies by the outfielders and
a little light infield work. The
kinks will be worked out slowly as
the weather has not definitely de­cided
to remain warm, and the
tossers do not wish to risk sore
arms.
While some valuable men have
been lost from last season, there
are a goad, many letter men left
and, these laken with the promising
Rat material, go to form a promis­ing
squad for the diamond season.
The biggest gap is in the catching
department, Davis, last year's mitt-man,
and Price, the former Rat
receiver, having both left school.
The best prospects among the
knights of the chest protector are
Dick Maury, Shorty Long, arid Ka-ley.
Maufy, who made his letter
last year, is an all-around man,
having filled in nearly every po­sition
on the team. Long will at­tempt
to make his third letter, hav­ing
already gained his "A" in foot­ball
and basketball this year. Kaley
is also a basketball man. ,
On the mound there are several
holdovers from last year together
with some very promising material
from last year's Rat squad. 'The
hurlers who bear letters are -Skin­ny"
Hines, Doug Knight, Swede
Sitz,' Sheridan, andi Joe Market.
From the 1924 Rat team there
comes a very-promising quartette
of moundmen in Edwards, Hughes,
Grant, and Bradley.
The exact make-up of th^ infield
is unknown as yet. The initial
sack, vacated by Fancher, will
probably be filled by Wallis, prom­ising
ex-Freshman, although there
are several other prospects out.
Shortstop is also vacant as Rough
Ed Allen will in all probability be
shifted to.the outer gardens. The
hot corner will be filled by C. O.
Stewart, the sensation of last year's
team. The Sylacauga Sensation
was the most reliable batsman on
the team last season, and also turn­ed
in some pretty fielding per­formances.
Captain "Red" Griffin will be
back at his old position at the key­stone
sack." "Red" is a steady, de­pendable
player, and should be due
for his greatest season. The con­fidence
of the team in Griffin is
shown by the fact that he is serv­ing
as captain for the second con­secutive
year. The Birmingham
lad might have earned the crown
last season of the world's champion
hard-luck batter, several of his
drives going out labelled "hohie
run," only to be caught by some
outfielder who happened to be
feeling in a sensational mood. If
the sorrel-topped one straightens
out some of those long ones this
year he is bound to be a terror to
opposing moundsmen..
Bo Self is the only pasture.per-former
from last year, although
Market, Sitz, and Allen might be
classified as such, having all seen
service in the outer gardens last
season at one time or another.
Self will form a brilliant nucleus
about which to build a strong
outfield, as the husky lad did
some really sensational fielding last
year. Steen, Booth, and Pat Moul-ton
are a trio of very promising
candidates from last year's Rat
team.
While last year's Tiger team was
far from a brilliant success, some
good players were developed,-and
the results this year should be
more pleasing to Auburn support­ers.
They will be assured of
good .pitching, if there can be de>
veloped a good receiver to handle
the shoots of the moundsmen.
Given this increased pitching ef­ficiency
and a little more strength
with the willow, the Plainsmen
should possess a much more form­idable
aggregation than last year.
Speaking Of Sports
However the basketball games
are not cancelled and everybody
can see all the scrapping they
want when the various "A" teams
swing into action.
Yei, folks, class football is not
what i; used to be. Two games
have been, played already and no­body
has been killed yet.
The 'Juniors. afe thinking about
a '26 up on the water tank. The
Rats are also thinking something
about a '28, but are not saying
much.
The great game is off. Due to
the fact that several of the foot­ball
men are out for baseball the
big "A" Club game has been can­celled,
so the fans will have to wait
until next fall to see the Varsity in
action.
The varsity basketball season is
over as far as Auburn games are
concerned. Nothing remains for
the Tigers except to take part in
the S. I. C. tournament. ,
W good many pessimists are go­ing
around and saying that the
Tigers wont have much work to
do in the tournament, either, not
more than one game to play etc.
Revenge is sweet, said somebody
or other and Mr. Somebody articu­lated,
a mouthful. Not many moons
past the Infantry team of Fort
Benning visited the Loveliest, Vilr
lage and administered unto the in­habitants
thereof a 37-27 drubbing.
Wherefore the Tiger rose in his
wrath and clawed the aforemen­tioned
Infantry the score being
38 to 26. Said clawing was done
in the Infantry's back yard, and
Mr. Wallace McKinney and his
brother Bill did the greatest share
of the clawing.
A slightly changed line-up faced
the Tigers in the Benning fracas.
In place of George Smythe there
was Kgelstrom at forward, while
Jock McQuarrie batted for Dabez-ies
at center. This variety of
line-up played some good ball and
did some mighty effective work,
but was jinable to hold the embat­tled
Tiger in check.
Mr. Franz, who did such deadly
execution against the Tigers in the
game here, was also on the war­path
in the return game, scoring
eleven points, besides devoting a
large part of his time to restrain­ing
the McKinney pair. McKena,
old Notre Dame star, also played
a floor game, but contracted the
fatal quartette of fouls and was
obliged to retire from the scene, of
conflict. Next to Franz, Kgelstrom
and Buck were the high scorers
with six and five points each.
Bill McKinney was the high
point man of the game, obtaining
a half dozen field goals and four
foul shots. Captain Wallace, play­ing
forward for a change, came
second with a total of nine points.
Kaley was also high, up on the
scoring list with six points, while
Gray did some mighty effective
work on the defensive end of the
game, incidentally finding time
to cage a shot for himself.
The game was close and hard
fought all the way through. How­ever
the Tigers managed to keep
ahead generally, although the le,ad
was never large enough to give
them any great comfort. At the
end of the first half the Plainsmen
were leading by a 24 tol4 score.
During the second half the game
tightened up considerably, the
Blues holding the Tigers to four­teen
points while they were scor­ing
twelve.
A determined fight was waged
by the Infantry all the way
through, but the Auburnites were
right that night, and/ it was impos­sible
to stop their rush.

yet and stick around Atlanta for
quite a while. They weren't ex­pected
to beat Fort Benning or
Tech, either, but look what hap­pened.
The Plainsmen may fool them
there will be a mighty steady
job open ,for somebody soon—that
of finding mor<) records for Nurmi
to break.
The game of games is scheduled
for this afternoon when the Fresh­man
and Junior Class teams meet
for the 1925 class championship.
Both teams are entering the fray
confident of victory and are ex­pecting
to mop up Drake Field
with their opponents.
This will be the third consecu­tive
year in which the Class of '26
has entered the finals. For two
years the laurels were snatched
away by the powerful '24 team, but
the Juniors claim that the reverse*
will be true this year.
A number of experts on the
campus are predicting a safe mar­gin
for the juniors but an equal
number are predicting an equally
safe margin for the Rodents.
However, the majority of the
prognostigators are taking the
right view of the matter—that the
game will be exceedingly close
and that the winner cannot be
picked until the final whistle has
blown.
The rival coaches have not an­nounced
their line-ups just yet,
but it is fairly certain that the best
material will be pushed in at the
start. It is generally believed that
the team that gets off to a flying
start will bring home the bacon,
as the margin of victory will be
small and the team that first gets
hold of the lead will keep it.
Messrs. Grisham and Green, of
the Junior coaching staff are put­ting
their men thru a stiff course
of training, while McFadden and
Crane are not letting their prote­ges
off lightly by" any means. The
players themselves have gone to
work with such vim and vigor
that it is extremely doubtful
which numeral will grace the* wat­er
ta*hk this year. The only thing
certain is that the first number
will be 2, but there is" a wide dif­ference
of opinion as to the sec­ond
figure. .

half gone, however, the Juniors de­veloped
an offensive streak which
carried the ball three quarters of
the length of the field for a( touch­down.
Most of the way the ball
was advanced m a series of short
plunges, with Mimi and Carrol do­ing
most of the carrying. Carrol
gave the fans one thrill during the
parade when he broke loose for
about thirty yards, and almost
eluded the safety man. However
Jimmy Gregg held on to the Anda­lusia
Steam Roller and the touch­down
was deferred fori a few min­utes.
When the ball had advanced to
within a few feet of the goal, the
Sophomore line tightened up and
after three tries the ball was still
on.the outside of the last line.
With but one more down to go,
Flash McElderry took the ball
from Fatty McNiel and squeezed
through for the much coveted
six points. On the try for point
McElderry kicked wide, but some­body
partially blocked the ball
and the ellipsoid changed direc­tion
and went ^traighit /between
the bars for one of the flukiest
points ever registered.
After the touchdown there was
not much consistent gaining,
although the Sophs did register a
first down or two in their efforts
to knot the well known count.
Even when their cause appeared
hopeless the Second Classmen
fought gallantly and, did not give
up the ship until the final whistle
had blown.
Dorsey Carrol was probably the
outstanding performer of the after-
Won, although he might be hard
pushed for .honors by several oth­ers.
Fatty McNeill played a sensa­tional
game at center, while Captain
Aldrich was a regular Rock of
Gibralter at guard. Mims and Haft
also come in for their share of
honors.
For the Sophomores, Lanky Sitz
showed up best in the line; while
Gregg was a shining light in the
backfield. Busey and stone also
showed up well in the forward
wall, while Smith did some effec-
' tive work at halfback.

For a short time, Auburn lead
by the; ideal baseball score of two

tries by Bill McKinney. giving the
Tigers their lead. However, about
this time, Mandy broke loose and
caged one, the score remaining at
two all. Then the game seesawed
back and forth until the end of
the half. When the semester end­ed
the Magic City men were on
the long end of a 19 to 17 score.
For the first part of the second
half, affairs remained about in the
same condition. At first tne
Alumni drew away rapidly, but the
Tigers came back and brought
.their score up to 25, the visitprs
count at that time being 27. Then
came the flood—for the Tiger
score stopped at 25 while the
Smoketown lads " found time to
cage four more field goals. And
thus ended the local cage season,
with the Tigers on the short end.

J^RANand tanned from work in the
open, pipe in mouth, cap pulled well
down—that's the erecting engineer,
as pictured in the magazines, and
generally as found on the job. In an
organization like Westinghouse, he
occupies a pivotal place, being re­sponsible
for the erection of equip7-
ment in the field.
Take him in the electrification
of the Chilean State Railway, for
example—one of the outstanding
electrical projects of recent years.
It included not merely the electri­fication
of 134 miles of steam
lines, but also power and sub-sta­tion
equipment to convert water
power from the Andes Mountains
into electric current.
In 1922 the first shipment of Sub­station
equipment departed—but
ahead of it had already departed a
force of Westinghouse erection engi­neers.
They went to a country that
was a stranger to railroad electrical
operation, and to the installation of
large electrical equipment. In the
J 34 miles of steam railway to be
electrified they encountered every
kind of topographical and engineer­ing
condition—curves, grades as
steep as 2k per cent and as long as i 2
miles, bridges extending to 440 feet,
six tunnels, the lpngest 1,6 do feet.
Today, two years later, these same
erection engineers are returning—
returning from a Chile, much of
whose railway traffic is moved by its
v,ater falls; they are returning and
promptly departing again on still
other missions of electrical improve­ment,
at home and abroad.
This advertisement is sixth in a vocational ssries, outlining the fields
for engineering achievement in the Westinghouse organization.
A copy of the entire series will be sent to anyone requesting it.'
