Loud in their praise for Gene Sam-marco,
the decorations, and the gen­eral
success of the Sophomore Hop,
acclamation from those who attended
the dances yesterday are to the effect
that Auburn is in the midst of one of
her*most successful sets of opening
dances.
The series began yesterday after­noon.
Last night a number of out-of-town
girls were in attendance at the
dance when the Grand March was
held. Miss Isbell Lane, of Talladega,
and Joe Sarver, president of the
Sophomore class led the march.
Scabbard and Blade sponsored the
dance this morning. Several lead-outs
were held in honor of the organiza­tion.
The tea dance this afternoon
was sponsored by Blue Key. Those
seniors who were recently elected to
the society were officially tapped at
the dance.
Visiting girls have been pouring
into town all day and it is estimated
that one hundred and twenty-five are
here for the dances now. The dance
tonight will climax all events of the
week-end. Dancing will get under
way at eight-thirty and continue until
twelve. Girls will have to be on the
floor by nine o'clock tonight. Tau
Beta Pi is sponsoring the affair and
will tap newly elected seniors.
The following list includes the
names of some of the visiting girls
here for the dances:
Marie Adams, Moultrie, Ga.; Edith

Pajama clad students assembled at
Langdon Hall last night for one of
the largest mass meetings to be held
here this year. Led by the Auburn
band the meeting began with a parade
through town. '
The principal speaker at the exer­cises
was Mr. P. O. Davis, Executive
Secretary. Mr. Davis gave a short
talk to the throng on Auburn spirit
and football prospects for this sea­son.
"You have shown that you, like
those who have preceeded you here,
are imbued with that for which this
school is noted far and wide—the
Auburn spirit," said the speaker. "It
is one of the things of which we are
so proud, may you always have it,"
he continued.
"Auburn is justly proud of her head
football coach and athletic director,
Jack Meagher. Let each one of us
give him our whole-hearted support
and I believe he will lead Auburn
through a successful season on the
football field this year," said Mr.
Davis, in speaking of Meagher.
The Alma Mater and new Auburn
Victory Song were sung several times
in order to acquaint freshmen with
the songs. Ed Prewitt, Bill McTyeire,
and Bill Lee, cheerleaders, led several
hundred students in yells which have
already been practiced this year, and
a few new yells.
Prewitt gave a short talk in which
he urged student support of the foot­ball
team in the game today.
Classes Be Excused For
Four Football Contests
Classes will be excused for four
football games this year. The four
are: the Duke game in Birming­ham,
November 3; Georgia Tech
in Atlanta, November 10; Florida
in Montgomery, November 17, and
Georgia in Columbus, November
24.
This action was taken at a
meeting of the Administrative
Committee yesterday and is slat­ed
to be approved by the Execu­tive
Council at a meeting of "the
Executive Council next week.
There will be no meetings of
regularly scheduled classes on
the dates Auburn plays these four
games. As in the past special
Saturday classes, including
classes for teachers living near
Auburn who do special work
here, will probably be held at the
regular time.
This action was taken to allow
students who plan to attend the
games near here the chance to
go. Since students will not be re­quired
to meet classes on the days
Auburn plays these four teams,
a large cheering section will prob­ably
represent Auburn at the
games.
HOWARD ELECTED
TO MANAGE FAIR
Ag Fair Will Be Held Here On
October 29 With Parade
That Afternoon
NOTICE!
According to an announcement by
Major G. H. Franke, the Reserve Offi­cers'
Branch School will begin Mon­day
night at 7:30 o'clock in the base­ment
of Samford Hall. All reserve offi­cers
in this locality are urged to be
present. Lieut. Huggins will have
charge of the Field Artillery instruc­tion,
with Capt. Grower instructing
the Engineers.
J. K. Howard, junior in agricul­ture,
was elected junior manager of
the agriculture fair Wednesday night.
The fair, which is an annual event
sponsored by the Agriculture Clug
each fall, will be held October 19.
Preparations for the fair, which
is expected to be bigger than ever
before, are already under way. Com­mittees
have been appointed to pre­pare
the floats to be used in the af­ternoon
parade for October 19. Spec­ial
features for both the parade and
the fair proper are getting consid­eration.
In addition to the election, the
meeting of the agriculture club Wed­nesday
evening was featured by stu­dent
talks. G. W. Ward, senior in
agriculture, discussed "The Robot";
H. C. Arant talked on "The Wonders
of the Medical World"; H. L. Terrell
gave some true statements concern­ing
"The Screw Worm"; and James
Winston Gullatte told of "The His­tory
of the Subsistence Homestead
Act."
M. E. Tisdale, president of the
club, pointed out that the activities
of the organization are largely for
the benefit of freshmen, and urged
that more freshmen attend the meet­ings
regularly. Meetings are held
every Wednesday at 7 o'clock.
Events of interest in the agricul­tural
field are discussed at the meet­ings
of the organization. Programs
are planned which are considered in­teresting
to its members.
Since early Friday morning several
thousand Auburn alumni, student's
parents, and girls have arrived in Au­burn
to take part in the homecoming
program; to witness the football game
on Drake field between Auburn and
Oglethorpe, and to attend the open­ing
dances. Most noted visitors for
the occasion are the governor-elect,
Bibb Graves, and his wife. They
witnessed the football game from a
special box on the field this afternoon.
Fraternities have been decorated in
accordance with the occasion and are
competing for the silver loving cup
to be awarded to the best decorated
fraternity by the Inter-fraternity
Council. The judging on this contest
will take place this afternoon and
tonight.
Following the mass meeting Friday
night, the Blue Key honor society,
sponsors of this year's homecoming
program, staged a banquet in the new
dining hall above Benson's. Principal
speaker for the occasion was John
Patrick, coach at Oglethorpe, and
faculty advisor of Blue Key at that
\school. Dr. Thornwell Jacobs, presi­dent
of Oglethorpe, was invited but
was unable to attend.
A Blue Key dance immediately fol­lowing
the game this afternoon and a
Tau Beta Pi dance tonight, will be
the concluding features of the home­coming
program. Two .lead-outs for
these societies will be included in the
dances as well as the tapping of the
new members.
An information booth located at the
main gate was helpful to visitors and
to the old grads who were back in
town to get another touch of the Au­burn
spirit. Alumni were welcomed
into Auburn by a huge welcome sign
extending across College street, and
the merchants decorated their win­dows
to conform with the occasion.
Names Of Professors Earl Rauber And William Salmon Appear
In First Issue Of Official Volume Of "America's Young Men
Professors Earl Rauber and Wil­liam
Salmon, of the Auburn faculty,
appear in the first volume of "Amer­ica's
Young Men," the official "Who's
Who" of the young men of the na­tion.
The book records the achieve­ments
of young men who have not
passed their 40th birthday.
Rauber came to Auburn in 1930
as professor of economics. He was
awarded his Ph.D. degree by the Uni­versity
of Chicago after completing
his undergraduate work there.
Professor William Salmon grad­uated
from the University of Ken­tucky
and later secured his master's
degree from the University of Mis­souri.
He came to Auburn in 1924
and is now doing research work on
animal nutrition, the regulation of
diet for the prevention and cure of
disease.
Sixty-one young men from seven­teen
Alabama cities are listed in the
book, with Birmingham having the
greatest number, twenty-three.
Both of these young professors
have been recognized throughout the
United States as leaders in their field
for several years.

Students Asked To Help
By Having Photos Made
Will Bruce, business manager of the
Glomerata, announces that the fresh­men
have shown poor cooperation in
having their pictures taken for the
annual. Only 140 pictures were
taken the first three days, whereas it
was planned to have nearly 200 fin­ished
by that time. Freshman pic­tures
will have to be completed by
next Wednesday.
Lack of cooperation is shown in
other ways, says Bruce, as to the
failure of some to be properly dress­ed.
All students should wear coats
and ties and be well dressed in gen­eral,
he stated. Many freshmen are
backward in having their pictures put
in the fraternity panels because they
are only pledges. Fraternity panels
contain the pledges as well as the reg­ular
members. Students holding
cards will be excused from class long
enough to have their picture taken,
and those who failed to receive a card
because of no address in the regis­trar's
office are asked to come to the
basement of Alumni Hall at their
earliest convenience.
Pictures of upperclassmen will be
taken alphabetically beginning Wed­nesday.
Football pictures will be
taken soon as well as many new views
of the campus. The Glomerata will
again have a beauty section.

Mitchell drew first blood when he intercepted an Ogle­thorpe
pass and ran it back 55 yards behind perfect inter­ference
for a touchdown. Neither team was very impressive
during the first half. Both of Auburn's scores came as a result
of breaks during this portion of the game. Frequent substitu­tions
were necessary for both teams because of the intense
heat. Auburn's starting eleven presented a stubborn defense
which kept the Petrels at a safe distance from the goal line.
Auburn's second touchdown came as a result of a sustained
drive down to the goal line, with Karam taking it over. Ogle­thorpe
presented a deceptive running attack, but it was not
very effective after the first quarter.

WELCOME ALUMNI!
Glad to see you here, Grads. Once more
you have returned to a spot that is un­doubtedly
dear to your hearts.
As you well know, Auburn has had her
ups and downs on the gridiron, and this
year happens to be one of her lean years
because the team is yet in a formative
stage. The Plainsmen need the students'
backing, but they need yours, too. Alumni
support will go a long way in determining
whether or not Auburn will be represented
by a creditable football team this year.
Students believe that the team has the
"makings" but they also realize that Coach
Meagher is not a miracle man and can not
produce a winning team here his first year.
May you see the situation as we see it and,
in the meantime believe in Auburn as we
think you do.
Blue Key, national honor society, has ar­ranged
a special program for your benefit
and entertainment this week-end. Nothing
has been left undone which students think
would go to make Homecoming a success
from your point of view. We want you to
enjoy yourselves as much as we enjoy hav­ing
you here. Hurry back!
SOPHOMORE HOP
A general feeling of jollity and merri­ment
pervades the campus. Gene Sammarco
and his boys are "whooping it up." Radi­ant
sophomores strut about the campus,
talking about our dance. Groups of aspir­ing
politicians are huddling about the gym
floor. Lovesick sophomores discuss pretty
maids far into the night, much to the dis­pleasure
of their sleepy fraternity broth­ers.
Freshmen stand about awkwardly,
watching everything with shifty eyes. Se­niors
drag the girls about town with a
bored air of sophistication. Fraternity
presidents tear their hair when someone's
girl doesn't come and they have saved room.
Architects stroll about the floor in red-eyed
bewilderment. But the next problem doesn't
come due for several weeks. Faculty mem­bers
look upon the proceedings with a
weather eye cocked and shake their heads.
Yes, it's the Sophomore hop, men.
GLOMERATA PHOTOGRAPHS
Last week the editor and the business
manager of the Glomerata announced that
they would begin taking pictures for the
1934-35 annual. The cooperation which the
staff has received from the student body is
most disheartening. Students have failed
to appear at the Glomerata office to fill
their appointments to have their photos
made.
The staff of the year book is putting forth
every effort to give the student an attrac­tive
record of the year's events, but this is
impossible unless they receive the coopera­tion
of the entire school.
Many seem to be laboring under false
impressions. Realizing financial difficulties
have much to do with students not having
their pictures taken, last year the managers
of the annual and school authorities made
an arrangement which should overcome such
obstacles. Students' pictures are already
paid for, that having been included in the
regular student activities fee. Naturally,
a large number of pictures in the year book
enhances its appearance very much. The
Glomerata belongs to the individual and
becomes more valuable with each succeed­ing
year. It is up to the student. Do you
want your picture in this year's Glom­erata?
We are a part of the undergraduate life,
and the annual is a lasting reflection of our
present activities. We are not doing a
favor for the staff or the college when we
have our pictures taken for the Glomerata.
It is just a case of taking advantage of a
personal opportunity. Why not have your
picture made at the time your appointment
card calls for.
GET A GOOD START
The advice President Conant, of Har­vard,
gave to the one thousand or more stu­dents
entering that school for the first time
was to remember the words of his prede­cessor,
Dr. Lowell, who said that in every
race a good start is important
Such advice may well be considered by
all those beginning a college career. In­vention
and industry have speeded up this
old world to the point where only those
best prepared can stick in the race, while
the others lag behind. The best prepared
hre those who have had the good fortune
to attend a college and have had foresight
enough to get their headstart while the
getting was good. Unless one gets a good
start while in college, his chances for forg­ing
ahead later on in the race are that much
less.
With such advice as Dr. Lowell's in mind,
why is it that so many college students try
to be "collegiate" and have what they term
a good time rather than develop their men­tal
capacity? True, some social life and
gaiety is necessary in any college; but such
activity should be supplementary or as a
diversion from the regular routine of stu­dies
and not the most important factor
as some would have it. It all boils down
to the plain truth that the college "cut up"
enjoys his popularity for a time depending
upon his genius; but once out in the world,
he finds nobody who would even so much
as pay any attention to him, much less give
Trim a job; whereas, the student who got a
good start and who discovered a happy me­dium
between work and pleasure is enjoy­ing
the compensations for his efforts.
LECTURE COURSE
With Dorothy Thompson speaking Wed­nesday
evening, November 26 on "The
Crisis in Germany," the Montgomery Lec­ture
Course will begin its sixth in a series
of lectures dealing with current problems
confronting the world. Every year this
open Forum has brought speakers of inter­national
reputation, and this year is to be
no exception to the rule. The lectures will
be given in the Junior High School audi­torium.
Dorothy Thompson is well qualified to
speak on the situation in Germany, having
lived abroad for many years and interview­ed
most of the important statesmen in Eu­rope.
She is well known as an author and
journalist and is the wife of Sinclair Lewis.
She has an excellent reputation as a lec­turer
and is a regular contributor to cur­rent
periodicals.
On January 17, Horace Kallen, professor
of philosophy and psychology at the New
School for Social Research in New York,
will speak on "The Future of Individualism
in America." Professor Kallen is recogniz­ed
as a figure outstanding among the orig­inal
thinkers and interpreters of this gen­eration.
The next lecture will be given by Julian
Bryan, Princeton graduate of '21. He will
display several thousand feet of Russian
film, which he took himself while visiting
in that country and will discuss the vari­ous
phases of the new experiment while
showing the pictures. His subject is
"Camera Glimpses of Russia."
Earnest Gruening, newspaper' editor and
regular contributor to the leading New
York newspapers, will speak during March.
He has not yet made a choice as to his
subject. George E. Sokolsky, also an out­standing
journalist, will speak April 23 on
"Why Revolution Does Not Come." Mr.
Sokolsky is an authority on the Orient and
has written many articles for the Atlantic
Monthly and Vanity Fair.
Auburn students and professors should
avail themselves of any opportunity they
may have to attend any of the programs
sponsored by the Montgomery Lecture
Course. Let us get away from our "little
world" and hear what someone else has to
tell us.
IDLE EMS
What a homecoming. . . . The fraternity
house decorations look good. . . . This in­novation
is a good thing for Auburn. . . .
The dances are better than the usual open­ings
are. . . . Congratulations Social Com­mittee.
. . . Or we should have said two or
three men . . . they usually do all the work
on the committee. . . . Why not have one
man in charge of the major sets of dances
. . . he does all the work usually and that
would do away with awarding nine passes
for nothing. . . . Wonder how many Au-burnites
will attend the Tulane game. . . .
It'd be funny if Auburn slipped up and
handed the Greenies a lacing again . . . and
it wouldn't surprise me if they did just
that thing. . . . Why don't you go down
and have your Glomerata photo taken when
you're supposed to . . . it wouldn't incon­venience
you much.

FIRST let me bid you welcome, all you
alumni! It is with great pleasure that
we again welcome you to the "Loveliest
Village," and it is our heartfelt desire that
you will enjoy yourself so much that you
will not be able to wait until next year to
come back to see us. The "Village" is yours.
* * * *
NEXT, let me tell you something about
this column. In writing this space filler I
will endeavor to picture things and happen­ings
in Auburn as I see them, sometimes
adding a comment, sometimes not. In
either case I hope that you will find my
copy interesting and sometimes helpful.
There may be times when I shall attempt to
express an opinion on some national or state
policy; however, I shall reserve the right
to change my mind about these things;
therefore, I'm not going to adhere to or
state a specific policy for this column.

EVESDROPPING on some of our stu­dents
convinces me that the "Auburn
Knights" should get a good vocalist. If
local talent is not available attempt should
be made to secure it elsewhere. Such a
talented orchestra as the Knights should
not be handicapped by the lack of a capable
singer. The orchestra has proven its abil­ity
by its imitations of Clyde McCoy's ver­sion
of "Sugar Blues," Jimmie Green's
"Bessie Couldn't Help It," and its own ini­mitable
arrangement of "Liebestraum."
Notice, however, that in two of these, the
most popular of their repertoire, that there
is no vocal refrain and that in the other
the versatile drummer is the featured vo­calist.
Now then, take one of the most
popular bands in the country and you will
find that it has a vocalist, who is more fa­mous
for his voice than for his talent for

COLLEGE DRINKING has taken on a
new atmosphere now that prohibition has
been repealed. Old sots who used to guzzle
the canned heat and potash that was sold
for "charred in the keg" liquor are now be­coming
"gentlemen" in the art of drinking.
Of course, since our state has not yet seen
the benefits of a liquor tax, all we can get
must be smuggled in to us. This, naturally,
involves some extra expense, but the col­lege
student is intelligent enough to see the
advantages of this whiskey over the former.
The day will come (I hope) when the col­lege
student may sip his julep and study
Geoffrey Chaucer at the same time. Some­thing
wet now and then would go mighty
well with such a dry subject as "Canter­bury
Tales."

SPORTSMANSHIP . . . recently a crew
of Britishers were beaten in a series of
yacht races; now they charge that they
were not given a square deal. Is America's
Cup so valuable that we are willing to give
up our name as sportsmen for its defense.
Would it not be more meritorious for Eng­land
to win the cup and have the world
say, "Too bad, America, you sailed a good
race," than to have one skipper say, "I will
not challenge for America's Cup again."
With this thought in mind, let us embark
upon the 1934 football season as good, clean
sportsmen.

TID BITS: To you eggs who gripe about
these columns being filled with the same
old hokum, how about offering some sug­gestions
or trying to write one yourself?
Actions speak louder than words, so I have
heard. Those who ought to know say that
prosperity is still just around the corner.
But no matter what corner it is around, we
can be pretty sure that it is going to stay
there. It's about time that the Council was
deciding what they are going to do about
excusing us for the football games. It is
a good thing to know so we can decide what
we are going to do ourselves. Some time
ago Auburn used to have an honor system.
Nowadays the thing has been turned around
a little bit so that the prof has the honor
and the students the system. And once
upon a time, too, we used to be quite proud
of what we called the Auburn Spirit Now
it's nothing but a ghost, and even Popeye
is afraid of a ghost. Oh, what hell it is to
try and study these balmy, romantic nights
with thoughts of the coming dances fol­lowed
by the Thanksgiving holidays with
Christmas coming right on top of that. New
year's resolution: Will study to show my­self
approved so that my parents can feel
proud of their little Johnny. But in the

Special communications with Miss Post suggest the following to those attend­ing
the Sophomore Hop:
1. If your girl has on one of those new evening dresses speak flatteringly of
her back. But remember that it is in poor taste to speak of moles.
2. Remember that a man larger than yourself is always right.
3. Always offer apologies if you collide with more than four couples at one
time.
4. When walking on your partner's feet try not to shift the weight unneces­sarily.
5. Music will go to your head. Never make dates on the floor.
6. Don't try to out-sing the vocalist in the orchestra; while he may not have
as good a voice as you have, he is a member of the orchestra.
7. Don't make over three dates for one dance. The fourth one might get
angry.

By B. S.
WITHOUT THE PALE
Durham, N. C.—Mysteriously, the word
of Toombs Night has reached the fresh­men.
Toombs night, Duke's traditional ini­tiation
night for that most honorary order
during which it is well known that "every
man for himself" is the fearful cry of all
freshmen, without doubt is the one night
in which the frosh choose their exit long
before they are told to do so.
Just who these persons are who inform
the freshmen of Duke's far-famed "Roman
Holiday" has never quite been determined,
but it has been whispered about the campus
that Toombs' inquisitorial methods will
make the frosh "fess up" in the not distant
future.
Already the freshmen are locking their
windows before retiring, with strange fears
of this horrific night of blood, and at the
same time reacting to the whispered doubts
about whether locked windows will afford
them much protection. Some of them have
already been told that the new housing sys­tem
was created to shelter them from just
such an emergency as this.
* * * *
Washington, D. C.—An appeal to Presi­dent
Roosevelt to stop discrimination and
"lockouts" against union textile workers
whose nation-wide strike ended Monday is
contemplated by union leaders, it was an­nounced
by Francis J. Gorman, chairman
of the strike committee and vice-president
of the United Textile Workers.
Mr. Gorman charged that "outrageous
cases of wholesale discrimination were be­ing
reported, especially from the South.
Strong sentiment for renewal of the strike
had developed, he said, particularly in the
Southern states. Many of the workers
were threatening to walk out again and
were being urged by their local leaders to
do so, Mr. Gorman said.
* * * *
Louisiana State University.—Improve­ments
to facilitate the large crowds attend­ing
football games have recently been com­pleted
on the stadium, according to T. P.
Heard, athletic director.
Additional ticket" booths have been con­structed
at the exits of the stadium to han­dle
the last minute rush for tickets, and a
parking lot has been built near the west
end, Mr. Heard announces.
* * * • *
University of Kentucky.'—According to
Lloyd A. Averett, executive secretary of the
Commerce-Employment association of the
University, 147 students have obtained
positions through the assistance of the as­sociation
in the two years of its existence.
Of the 147 students that obtained posi­tions,
22 of them procured part time jobs
prior to graduation; while the remainder
meantime, well, that remains to be seen.
Wonder if a certain church in town had a
record attendance last Sunday. If they
did, it's beyond me.
obtained full time work after completing
their college course.
Mr. Averett states that 92 per cent, of
the members of the class of 1933, and all
but four of the members of the 1934 class
are now employed.

Florence- State Teacher's College;—Dr.
Floyd F. Cunningham, social and economic
geographer and head of the department of
geography, sailed August 13 from New
York on the S. S. Manhattan for Warsaw,
Poland, where he attended the Interna­tional
Congress of Geography, which con­vened
there August 23-31.
Dr. Cunningham is official representative
of the state of Alabama. He went direct
to Hamburg, Germany, stopping at Cobb,
Ireland, Southampton, England, and Havre,
France, en route.
* * * * i
Baltimore, Md.—Although no figures are
available locally on the number of loans
made in Baltimore and the state, Arthur E.
Hungerford, state director of the Federal
Housing Commission, said that present in­dications
are that banks are approving new
loans in constantly increasing numbers.
"The reports are made directly to Wash­ington,"
he said, "and we get no accurate
or approximate figures."
He said he knew, however, from his
conversations with bankers in the city that
these loans are mounting daily.
* * * *
London, England.—John Charles de la
Waterford, was killed by a rifle shot early
House, in Portlaw, County Waterford, Irish
Tuesday morning at his home, Curraghmore
Poer Beresford, seventh Marquis of Free
State.
A footman, sleeping over the gun room,
was awakened at 6 a. m. by the groans be­low.
The marquis was found unconscious
on the floor, with a bullet wound in his
right temple and a recently discharged .22
caliber rifle beside him. A coroner's in­quest
later returned a verdict of accidental
death.
* ' * * *
University, Ala.—An all-time enroll­ment
figure of 4,425 was set for the first
week enrollment at the University, ac­cording
to an announcement by Dr. George
H. Denny, president of the University.
* * * *
Birmingham, Ala.—After three state and
two defense witnesses had testified, Judge
Abernethy Wednesday afternoon adjourned
until Thursday of next week the preliminary
trial of Deputy J. W. Alexander, facing two
murder charges in the slaying of two ne­groes
during a disturbance September 16
near Porter Mines.
The negroes were shot when union men
marched on non-union miners in an at­tempt
to force them to join the organiza­tion.
EDITOR'S NOTE: The opinions expressed in
this column are not necessarily the editorial opin­ions
of this paper. It is a column of personal
comment, and is not to be read as an expression
of our editorial policy.
* * * *
CRITICS who have been so harsh in
their condemnation of Hugh Johnson,
now that he is no longer big shot in
the N. R. A. may well stop to consider the
accomplishments of tl.j fiery ex-cavalryman.
President Roosevelt, in accepting Johnson's
resignation, phrases in his usual adequate
fashion the achievement of his former aide.
" . . . . it will always be remembered that
under you the N. R. A. in only a little over
a year, accomplished long overdue reforms
in our social and business structures. The
elimination of child labor, the recognition
of the principles of a fair wage and col­lective
bargaining, and the first efforts to
eliminate unfair practices within business
—these among many others are chalked up
to your credit." Johnson may now enjoy
the fruits of his retirement, secure in the
knowledge of a well performed task, but
it is a safe assumption that his critics will
continue unabated in their unreasoning at­tacks
on the administration which backed
Johnson in his every move. The long for­gotten
men of this country are making a
serious mistake by remaining silent in the
face of this clamorous minority which is
attempting to shove them back into the
gloom in which they have wandered for the
past few thousand years. Big business is
making a determined effort to cancel the
New Deal, and revert to the era of stacked
decks . . . . and if they are not confronted
with active opposition from the mass of
the people they will accomplish their pur­pose.
After all, Franklin D. can't be both
general and army in this battle for square
dealing, you know.
* * * *
THIS COLUMN is cognizant of the fact
that it has inadvertently committed a grave
social error. We have been running for
almost a month, and have not yet even
mentioned our great sister institution,
Montevallo. We offer our most humble
apologies, and may it suffice for the present
to say that we recognize Montevallo as one
of the outstanding institutions of the South,
a seat of culture, and the home of many
beautiful maidens. We will have to forego
any further statements at this time, on ac­count
of, as the inimitable Gum would say,
we have never been to Montevallo, and
know little of the lasses who roam its hal­lowed
halls.
* * * *
ALUMNI visiting the village this week­end
will notice many changes in their alma
mater, one of the most outstanding of which
will be the improvement of the campus dur­ing
the past few years. That this im­provement
has not stopped, but is still be­ing
carried out, will be evidenced by the
ffine new road which is being -built between
the Administration Building and Duncan
Hall.
* * * *
BLUE KEY is to be commended for its
efforts towards making a real homecoming
out of this year's affair. Honor societies
often degenerate into mere organs for the
gratification of the "brass-hunger" of some
of our aspiring Juniors. This constructive
effort on the part of Blue Key, especially
the feature of the information bureau for
the alumni, marks the present organization
as worthy of the name "honor society."
* * * *
GERMANY is a land of strange happen­ings
and strange people. A leading Amer­ican
track coach, recently returned from
that country, says the German University
Students take almost no interest in athletics
—"all they do is sit around and drink beer
and study." Which is probably a good way
to get an education, but how can it com­pare
with the feeling one has when, the
belly pleasantly embalmed with "Royal
Palm," one watches the athletic prowess of
other people on the football field.
* * * *
TAG ENDS. The new slang expression
to replace "that come-hither look" is "the
bedroom eye" . . . Wonder how many of the
well-known Greeks are going to string crepe
paper over the living rooms of their houses.
Personally, I don't like crepe paper—not in
fraternity living rooms . . . The reason this
column is more than usually disorganized
today is that the unkind critic of a polished
and repolished poem which was to fill half
the space said, "The thing looks like a first
draft to me." . . . Art, for thy sake, what
indignities do I suffer. . . .-There is a blond-headed
lady with freckles and a pugnacious
mouth who is going to do some explaining
when she arrives in this town. . . . Auburn
students, if nothing else, are connoisseurs
of radio dance orchestras. . . . Again there'll
be the well-known plethora of girls over the
week-end-—which is all right with me. . . .
Wonder why everyone Squints at our most
exalted commander, Bill Hughes, when
meeting him on the campus?
Don't forget to have your Glomerata
pictures made by appointment.

Prospects For Outstanding Cross Country Team Are Bright This Season
COACH MORRIS PLEASED WITH
RESULTS OF FINAL TRY-OUTS
CANDIDATES ARE
WORKING UNDER
COACH HUTSELL
Funchess, Pihl, Gait, Emery,
Of Last Year's Team Are
Working Out
The Cross-Country team under the
tutelage of Coach Hutsell is slowly
but steadily rounding into shape. Al­though
it is far too early in the sea­son
to make any predictions, the pros­pects
are, if anything, probably bet­ter
than at this time last year.
At the present time there are eight
men on the squad. Three of them,
Linwood Funchess, Carl Pihl, and Bill
Emrey, and a fourth man, Ed Gait,
who will report next week after re­covering
from a recent operation,
were members of last year's team.
Ed Powers, W. V. Chandler, R. E.
Charlton, Alvin Moreland, and H. L.
Terrell are likely prospects who are
expected to prove their ability dur­ing
the coming season.
Last year, unfortunately, only one
meet was held. This year meets are
being arranged with Georgia Tech,
University of Georgia, University of
Florida, Howard and Birmingham-
Southern.
At the present time the Auburn

The 1934 gridiron season officially swings into action to-day with prac­tically
every major football team in the country ready for action. In our
own Southeastern Conference every member is poised for the opening whistle
which is expected to send them into one of the most hectic gridiron scrambles
in the history of the sport.
Only one intra-conference game is set for to-day, that being Vanderbilt's
meeting with Mississippi State in Nashville. The rest of the battles are ex­pected
to be customary warm-up affairs, although some of them probably
will be close.
Alabama, Tulane, and Georgia, the three pre-season favorites, open with
Howard, Chattanooga, and Stetson respectively. Auburn plays Oglethorpe,
Florida takes on Rollins, Georgia Tech plays host to Clemson, Chet Wynne's
Kentucky Wildcats tackle Washington and Lee, Louisiana State meets Rice,
Mississippi plays Memphis Teachers, Tennessee meets Centre College, and
Sewanee battles Southwestern in the remaining tilts involving Southeastern
teams.

And now to a custom established
last season, that of predicting the
scores of Southeastern games each
week. This column wishes to remind
you that this is a very hazardous task,
one which, while requiring little rea­soning
power, involves, in the main,
strong nerves. There are so many
things that have to be taken into con­sideration
in trying to pick a football
score that anything is likely to hap­pen.
So, steady yourselves for this
first effort. The wild scramble is on:

Shades of many Auburn athletic
heroes, both past and present, stalked
across Drake Field Saturday after­noon
during Auburn's freshman game
with Birmingham-Southern's first
year men. Such names as Hitchcock,
Caton, Fenton, Whitten, and Suydam
were found in the line-up of Orange
and Blue rodents. Billy Hitchcock,
brother of Auburn's famed all-Amer-ican
Captain Jimmie of two years
ago; Jimmie Fenton, brother of Ben-nie
and Collins Fenton, varsity play­ers
this year; and Jack Suydam,
brother of Jim Suydam, captain of
Auburn's polo team last year and one
of the outstanding players of this
sport Auburn has turned out, are
promising candidates for halfback
positions. Harry Whitten also has
a brother on the freshman team, an
outstanding candidate for a guard
position. Fay Caton, tackle, is a
cousin of Noah Winston Caton, one
of Auburn's immortal gridiron greats.
Noah Caton, from the center posi­tion,
captained the Tigers in 1920
during the Donahue regime at the
Plains and won all-Southern honors
that year. His death a few years
after graduation was mourned by
students and faculty alike. To per­petuate
his memory the Auburn Pres­byterian
church named its student
Sunday school class in his honor.
Nine Games Will Take
Plainsmen 4,218 Miles
To meet nine of the ten tough foes
on their 1934 football schedule, the
Alabama Poly Tigers will travel 4,218
miles. - The Tigers, who clash with
Oglethorpe at Auburn on Saturday,
September 29, in their only scrap on
the local field, make their longest
journey of the year to Lexington, Ky.,
to battle Chet Wynne's Kentucky
Wildcats. The jaunt from Auburn to
Lexington will carry the Plainsmen
over 1,050 miles.
Number of miles the Tigers will
ride the Pullmans for each of their
nine road engagements follows: Sept.

SEVERAL TEAMS
GO INTO ACTION
ON GRIDS TODAY
Only Two Southeastern Con­ference
Teams Meet Each
Other This Week
While the Auburn Tigers battled
the Oglethorpe Stormy Petrels, nine
other Southeastern Conference elevens
went into action.
The only two conference teams that
were slated to meet each other are
Mississippi State and Vanderbilt.
Mississippi State downed Howard
last week and were confident that they
will do the same to Vanderbilt.
Coach Chet Wynne prepared his
Kentucky eleven for a victory over
Washington and Lee. Last week
Kentucky was in form and romped
over Maryville, 25-6. This game,
along with the Georgia Tech-Clemson
struggle, looked like the headliner in
the Southern grid world today.
Alabama, having been rated by sev­eral
scribes as the strongest eleven
in the South and one of the strong­est
in the country, expected to find
an easy foe in Howard College.
Georgia was opening her 1934 grid
season against Stetson and the Ten­nessee
Volunteers began their war­fare
when they met Centre. Florida
was to engage Rollins, Louisiana State
University to meet Rice, Sewanee to
battle Southwestern of Memphis, and
Tulane was to tackle Chattanooga.
Smith, Laney, Paul, Forbes, R. Martin, H. Martin, Barlow, Cox,
Crouch, and Wilkes Make Grade In Competition Among
Twenty Candidates; Experienced Swimmers Make Squad
Time try outs for the free style
events were concluded Thursday, Sep­tember
27, at the Alumni Gymnasium
pool and Coach Howard Morris pick­ed
the team that will represent Au­burn
at the freshmen swimming meets
this year. Ten free style men made
the grade out of the twenty that re­ported
for practice at the beginning
of the semester.
"The time try outs bore out what
I said in a previous issue of the
Plainsman," Coach Morris stated,
"and I expect the freshmen to have a
real team. The marks made by this
year's squad are far better than any
other freshman group have ever
done."
Those that have been chosen as
members of the tank squad are Smith,
Paul, Laney, Forbes, R. Martin, H.
•Martin, Barlow, Cox, Crouch, and
Wilkes. Practically all of these men
made a good showing in the prelimi­nary
practice.

good, and it is interesting to note
that until two years ago the record
time was 16 mins., 19 sees.
Cross-country running, which is
undoubtedly the most gruelling of all
the running events, has not evoked
a great deal of interest in the past.
The reason being that, except in rare
instances, it is not a spectacular
event. It is, however, an event which
can be run only by athletes in the pink
of condition. It is estimated that
during the training period last year
each man ran approximately one hun­dred

According to Coach Morris, Edwin
Barlow, Mobile, was unusually good
in the 220-yard event and the quar­ter
mile, his time in both events being
far ahead of any of his competitors.
Barlow has his own peculiar style and
is able to make very good time with
it. Watching him, one would think
that his stroke would slow him up,
but he is able to keep the same pace
throughout a long distance swim. Al­though
he uses his own style, he has
been able to better the freshmen rec­ord
in the quarter mile.
Smith has the record of being the
most improved swimmer on the squad.
Although his chances of becoming a
member of the team at the start of
the season were small, his continuous
practice has given him a place on the
team. He made his best time in the
220-yard event and the 100-yard dish.
In the 50-yard dash Forbes missed
the freshmen record by .3 of a second.

Two New Members To
Serve On W.S.C. Here
Miss Velma Patterson and Miss
Emma Bennett Sellers were elected
new members to the Women's Student
Council at a special women's convoca­tion
at Langdon Hall Tuesday morn­ing.
Miss Patterson is president of
Smith Hall and Miss Sellers is secre­tary
of the council.
Miss Zoe Dobbs talked to new wom­en
students, encouraging each to strive
for membership in at least one honor
society on the campus. Nellie Fuller,
president of the Women's Athletic
Association, explained requirements
for membership in the organization
and told of plans for the year.
Cardinal Key was discussed by its
president, Nell Lowe, who explained
the purpose of the society, which is a
sister organization to Blue Key. Mar­tha
Barrow, president of Theta Epsi-lon,
home economics honorary society,
told of the standards maintained by
the organization and urged new stu­dents
to strive for membership.
Declaring that children should be
made "music conscious" at an early
stage, Miss Marion Flagg, music in­structor
at the Horace Mann School
of Teachers College, Columbia Uni­versity,
asserts that every home
should be a miniature grand opera,
with all conversations between chil­dren
and their parents taking place
in a sing-song, chanting manner.
More than 60 co-eds at DePauw
University were routed from their
beds early one morning last week
when fire practically destroyed Mans­field
Hall, oldest women's dormitory
on the campus. Some twenty of the
girls lost all their belongings.

Wednesday. If found please return

house.
(Continued from Page 3)
Backstroke, breaststroke, and div­ing
try outs are expected to be held
at a later date. O'Conner, Ohio, has
a good chance of backstroke and Rei-nol
has given a good impression at
the breaststroke position. Coach Mor­ris
will not be able to get a look at
his diving aspirants until the broken
diving board has been replaced.
The tank men have had about a
month's earlier start than last sea-
'son and have been practicing every
day. Some of the men still are weak
on wind and swim fifty lengths (ap­proximately
one-half a mile) daily to
get it.
The team is still weak in making
the turns,-which are more important
than the casual observer will think.
A poorly made turn will easily lose
a good part of a second and in a quar­ter
mile event twenty-two turns have
to be made.

Russell Circus Will
Appear In Opelika
The Russell Brothers Circus will
exhibit at the fair-grounds in Opelika
Friday, Oct. 5, giving both after­noon
and evening performances. In
the past attendance of Auburn people
at the Opelika exhibitions has been
large.
The circus is a three-ring affair,
which is entirely too large to be ap­preciated
fully at one attendance.
Popular prices have been scheduled so
as to make possible attendance at
both performances.
Russell Brothers Circus is a west­ern
troup, this being its first trip east.
The circus travels by motor, which
is cheaper than rail travel. This
makes possible lower rates.
