TO FO R THE AUBURN SPIRIT Vol. XXVIII AUBURN, ALABAMA, SATURDAY, JANUARY 10, 1925. No. 16 ALABAMA POWER CO. MAKES BIG DONATION SPECIAL FEATURES FOR JUNIOR PROM TO BE BIGGEST SOCIAL EVENT OF YEAR Star Musicians It isn't an everyday occurrence that Auburn and the South has the opportunity to be treated to such a rare occasion as 'those who trip the fantastic toe' will be treated to on the 22, 23, and 24th d,ays of January. When the youthful Mr. Harold Oxley and his Cinderilla Roof Garden Orchestra step from the train sometime during the day of the twenty-secnd, Auburn will indeed be 'honored with some of the best music since the advent of the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra last year. This gala group of young gentlemen will be found to be. gentlemen well versed in their art and musicians of the highest type. On the evening of the twenty-second, at the Alumni Gymnasium, when Mr. Oxley pulls his bow down we will have a treat long looked forward to. Mr. Oxley plays our popular music to symphonic arrangements so as to make Alexander's Ragtime Band sound like the poet and the peasant and then at the necessary and opportune time he will burst forth with "hokum" that hardly he himself would take notice of. „ Mr. Oxley has recorded for the Okey and Paramount phonograph people and, has a wide reputation of being one of Paul Speck's foremost orchestras, which is saying a great deal as Mr. Specks distribute^ one hundred and fifty orchestras in the United States and seventy- five abroad.

(Continued on Page 6) EXTENSION SERVICE HOLDS MEETING DURING HOLIDAYS Over Two Hundred Men And Women Attend The Annual Winter Farmer's and Farmwomen's Conference was held in Auburn during the week. December 29 to January 2. The Conference was called and held under the auspices of the Agricultural Extension Service. The object of the Conference was "to work out and adopt an agricultural and farm home program for Alabama." The gathering was a replica with a number of improvements of a like meeting held here last year. The Conference was attended by County Agents, Home Demonstration Agents, Women County Workers, Farm Organizers, Industrial Leaders, and Agricultural Experts. Each county in the state was represented by County Agents and Home Demonstration Agents, and, in addition, one farmer from each county sent to the Conference by the Farm, Bureau. Women representatives were present from the thirty-six counties in which the Demonstration work has been organized. A total of over 200 men and women were in attendance for the meetings. The subject matter discussed and reported on by the various committees (the committees being selected from among the delegates) were: Field, Propagation, Fertilization, Pasturage, Animal Husbandry, Agricultural Engineering, Plant Distribution, Entomology, Organization, Marketing, Cooperative Buying. The subjects discussed by the women were: "The Standard AUBURN TO HAVE MOST POW ERFUL BROADBASTER IN THE SOUTH PLANS BEING MADE FOR NEW RADIO BUILDING The donation of the broadcasting station WSY, by the Alabama Power Company to the Alabama Polytechnic Institute, makes it possible for Auburn to have one of the most powerful and complete stations in America. The new broadcaster will operate on one thousand watts and will probably be located in a special radio building. Educational and musical programs will be broadcasted regularly for the benefit of America's huge radio audience. Mr. Victor H. Hanson, trustee of the institution and publisher of The Birmingham News, officially offered the set to the college as a gift of the Power Company. Examination Schedule January 16th To January 22nd A.

HOME AGENTS GIVE SCHOLARSHIP Established In Memory of Margaret Duncan The Margaret Duncan scholarship for a girl student at the Alabama Polytechnic Institute has been established by the home demonstration agents of Alabama. A decision to award a scholarship in memory of the daughter of Prof. L. N. Duncan, director of the extension service, who died in November, 1924, was made by the home demnstration agents1 who are in session here this week. They called on Prof, and Mrs. Duncan in a body and notified them of their decision. It will be a loan scholarship of at least $250 each year and will be increased until it amounts to $1,000. •—Montgomery Advertiser. Farm Home," what it should be, how supported, etc., The Recommendations made by the women's committee will be published in "An Agricultural and Farm Home Program for Alabama." The developments of the meeting by the various other committees will be published in a hand book with plans, suggestions, and, detailed information. Prof. L. N. Duncan, of the Extension Department, was in charge of the men's meetings and Miss Agnes Ellen Harris, dean of women, was in charge of the women's meetings. The men delegates were housed in the Roys' Dormitory and the women delegates in Smith Hall. All were given their meals in Smith Hall. For those delegates not staying in the dormitories, rooms were provided in private homes and fraternity houses. It was necessary to hold the conference during the holidays in order to care for the delegates as adequate facilities arc not available during the regular school session. Mr. Irving Patrick, editor-in-chief of the Plainsman during the term of 23-24, is seriously ill in the South Highlands Infirmary of Birmingham. "Pat" has many friends in Auburn, all of whom wish him a speedy recovery. The Alabama Power Company, one of the largest and most progressive companies of its kind, in the south, is one of Auburn's greatest benefactors. The company has already made several generous donations previous to this one and have six scholarship students on the college roll. The donation of the set to the institution is a fact of which Auburn is justly proud as it will rank Auburn among the first in the scientific development of radio communication. Auburn is in fine shape to use such a gift to a great advantage as the radio department of the college, under the supervision of Prof. Arthur St. Charles Dunstan and headed by Mr. Malcolm Wilder, is one of the most progressive of its kind in the south. Laboratories for experimental research, in both transmitting and receiving, have been recently completed and are ready to be used in the advancement of the science of radio. The department also owns one of the best and most widely known experimental relay stations which is a member of the American Radio Relay League and is daily handling a number of messages, free of charge, for those who wish to send them. With the addition of the equipment of WSY, combined with that already being used by WMAV, the radio department will be one of the foremost in the country. WSY is widely known throughiut the United States as they broadcasted many good programs during their period of operation. It was operated on 500 watts. WMAV, which was donated by The Birmingham News, also has a host of friends throughout the country. It operates on 750 watts. These two powerful sets will be combined in the radio department here and rebuilt into one 1000 watt super-broadcasting station. The design and construction of this super-broadcaster will be engineered by Mr. Malcolm Wilder, under the supervision of Prof. Dunstan, head of the Electrical Engineering Department of the institution. Mr. Wilder has a great deal of experience along radio lines and is well fitted for the task. He formerly operated an amateur station of his own and also did commercial radio telegraphic work at sea for several years. Auburn is very fortunate in acquiring this generous gift and is deeply grateful to the Alabama Power Company and friends interested in the donation.

Is there a lad who has not tasted its bitter dregs? The monster we speak of is the sly, lurking, binding, fastening demon the "Bull Session." It is our opinion that this monster is in a great way responsible for the majority o* failures in colleges of today. Many students with good intentions and great dreams of the future have had them blasted by this much famed evil. Doubtless bright careers have ended in a "Bull Session." You are bound to come in contact with them. It all depends on whether or not you can evade the temptation to attend them too often. They are so much easier to sit through than a lecture or a study period, that they are indeed a sore temptation to the average student. These sessions not only do very little good but they are liable to do a great deal of harm for they are the best propagators of false ideas, reports and opinions. Let's wage a war on them. Make an amendment to your constitution and join an "anti-bull session league." The Plainsman wishes all of its friend.s a happy and prosperous New Year. We note that "crams" rhymes with "exams." Seniors, '25, is now on the calendar as well as the tank. JOB—A big question. THE NEW YEAR Ring out the old. Ring in the new. We are now living in the New Year. Th* beginning of a year is always a time of great optimism, a lime of good resolutions and a time of general good feeling. Has it affected you that way? Do you see any difference in your mode of living since the twelve o'clock hour announced the arrival of '25. The New Year is the time to use the trash basket. Throw away all those things which have worried you in the past. Clean up the junk. Take stock of yourself. Find your biggest trouble and try to remedy it. (This is not given for advice but is simply an effort to try to cause someone to think.) The term is not half over but let's begin the sprint. An Auburn student body can hold it to the end. Get behind your institution in every way possible. When any trouble comes up, make your decision and act accordingly, always having in mind the importance of acting in such a way that will not cause you or your Alma Mater trouble. Anyway the New Year is ours. Let's make it a big one.

DUNSTAN Virginia has been the original home of many distinguished men and of many of our best known and best liked professors. Professor Albert St. Charles Dunstan is not, by any means, the least of these. He was born at Fredericksburg of people who were originally from England. His father was a mining engineer for a number of English and American companies and travelled a great deal over both North and South America. The son received his early education in the public schools of Fred,er-ickshurg and Roanoke, Virginia, and the H. W. Griggs Academy at Monte vallo. The instinct of a man who has the spirit of Auburn though he may never have even heard of that spirit, perhaps, brought him to the Alabama Polytechnic Institute for his college education. He received his B. S. degree in 1889 in Civil Engineering. During the next year after graduate course he was awarded the degree of Mining Engineer and of Civil Engineer the following year. Graduate courses at Johns Hopkins University and the University of Chicago further added to the knowledge which is so abundant that even a student marvels. His first position was Professor of Higher Mathematics at Scotts-boro College, 1892-93. He then became Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering at the University of Kansas. In 1899, Auburn had the good fortune of seeing him return as Professor of Electrical Engineering, where he has been ever since. Besides "drumming" engineering into hardheaded students, Professor Dunstan's work has taken him into many fields. He was, at one time, consulting electrical engineer for the Kansas State Board of Charities, electrical engineer for a number of cities and private companies, southern representative of the American Engine Company, etc. He has had a number of articles published, in "Electrical World," "American Journal of Science," "Atrophysical Journal," etc., and edited a magazine on engineering. He has been an active member of the American Institute of Electrical "Engineering and innumerable other societies, a fellow in the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and was, forj a time, interpreter and translator for the electrical world, being able to speak several languages, among which are German, French, Polish Cecho-SIovakia and Russian. The following statement comes from an engineering student and seems to be the sentiment of all who know him. "He is a great professor and can surely hold the attention of his class. He is liked by every and all students who ever had any contact with him at any time." THE BULLETIN BOARD 9:30 A. 1:00 A. 2:00 P. 0:30 P. M. M. M. M. :30 P. M. 7:00 P. M. SATURDAY, JANUARY 10 8:15 P.

For his new Metro-Goldwyn picture, "The Navigator;" which is coming to the Post Theatre on Sunday, more than 300 negroes were used as cannibals. In one scene they were supposed to jump from the deck of the ocean liner chartered for the picture. . Buster divided them into five classes and when the signal for (Mass B came' to jump, one lone California cannibal remained on the deck. "Don't you know what Class B means?" asked Buster. "Yessir, I does," came the reply, "It means Ise goin' to BE here when the others dive, and Ise goin' to BE here when they comes back." —Infantry School News.

And it stirs up all your feelin' 'Til the tear1 drops want to start. For this life is worth a livin.' When someone your troubles shares Life is truly worth a livin' When someone really cares. This world is not all sunshine Many days dark clouds disclose, There's a cross for every joy-bell, Ami a thorn for every rose, But the cross is not so grievous, Nor the thorn the rosebud wears,.

Rew, Carrollton, Ala.., held first place at the end of the ninth week of the national egg laying contest or demonstration in progress here, according to an offical report made by John E. Ivey, head of the poultry department. Another pen of the same breed owned by W. J. Hagood, Town Creek, Lawrence county, held second place. The 10 hens belonging to Rew laid 340 eggs in nine weeks, and those belonging to Hagood had laid 319 eggs. Third place was held by the Happy Poultry Yards, of Memphis, Tenn; the fourth by The Great Southern Poultry Farm at Line-ville. Mrs. Alice T. Peart, of Lox-ley, Baldwin county, held fifth place. The five highest pens are White Leghorns, and the sixth is a pen of Buff Orpingtons owned by Judge Sam High, of Ashville. In his report Mr. Ivey called attention to the fact that production the ninth week was almost exactly that of the eighth week, despite the fact that rain fell every day and the hens -were kept in houses all the time. There are 96 pens of 10 each in the contest, and at the end of the ninth week they had laid 15,584 eggs. Production during the\ ninth week was 2,569 eggs. Alabama Hens Top New York Poultry in Egg Laying Save Money on your Board at the Students Club and Dining Hall 3 Meals Per Day $20.00 2 Meals Per Day $16.00 You also get the choicest of foods cooked by chefs of long experience. Special Attention To Feeds And Banquets If egg laying contests conducted in Alabama and New York are fairly, representative, Alabama is a better Poultry state than is New York. On Nov. 1, 1924, a contest was started here and at the New York College of Agriculture, andi reports to date show that the Alabama hens are far ahead of the New York hens in production. A report received by John E. Ivey poultry specialist here, for the eighth week of the New York contest shows that 1,000 hens in that contest laid 1,060 eggs during the eighth week, while 960 hens in the contest at Auburn laid 2,576 eggs. Not one of the New York hens made 100 per cent, while 22 of the Alabama hens scored 100. The percentage production in New York was 15.1, compared with 38.33 per cent here. The highest pen in New York produced 35 eggs, while the highest in Alabama produced, 49. This is accepted by Mr. Ivey as further evidence in favor of poultry and egg production in Alabama. —The Birmingham News. Freshman Lit. Society Holds Live Meeting Right after the holidays when everyone was rather tired, and not at all enthusiastic about things scholastic, the Rat Literary Society held one of their best meetings. It was of course, rather hard to present a regular program after everyone had been away from the college for so long, yet a clever impromptu program was enjoyed by all. Such interesting things as "How did she treat you during the holidays?" and "Where were you at one A. M. last January the first?" were the subjects under discussion and some very humorous replies were made. All were particularly interested in a talk by Professor Evans in which he told about his trip to Richmond, Philadelphia, and historical points of interest. There will be a meeting next week, and as the program committee has promised one of their best programs to finish up the semester, we ask everyone to be present. ALUMNI NEWS A. B.

The color resolution was read in the form of an amendment and will be voted on next meeting. Another committee made a request that all members look out for unofficial notices on the bulletin boards and elsewhere. Everyone is asked to come next time as it will be the last meeting of the semester and the new officers will be elected. Its the last meeting, lets do things-up in fine, shape by a large attendance. - For The Dances TUXEDOS and Assessories CASH STORE U-l BIRMINGHAM AUBURN BRANCH L. E. Myers R. D.

The basketeers, captained by Fred Hahn, got off to a good start, and captured several hard fought games in the beginning of the season, but as the year wore on, the cagemen wilted under the heavy schedule and, were obliged to bow ' to Georgia, Tech, and others. When hte Atlanta tournament rolled around, the Tigers were doped to drop out in the first round, but the Auburnites gave the dope bucket a gentle push, and pounced upon the Techsters and administered unto them a hearty trouncing., This upset brought together for the first time in several years the Auburn and, Alabama teams. Some •were inclined to view this turn of » events with alarm, and spoke vaguely of riots, bloodshed, and the like. However, the fears of the pessimists were groundless, for, although the Tigers were beaten by » a substantial score, they fought hard and played like real sports to the end, while the 'Bama men distinguished themselves throughout the game for their clean and sportsmanlike playing. While the Varsity basketeers were carrying on, the inhabitants of the Zoo were dabbling in the cage game also, and right well did ^ t h e y uphold the, reputation of the school. Going up against some strong opposition, Cutey Brown and her playmates enjoyed a season of unmarred defeat, and were declared Southern Champions for the second successive year. When springtime came and the ' young man's fancy lightly turned to baseball, etc., the Tiger diamond artists found a new coach at the i helm. While Ned Cole's team was not a great success, as far as games won and lost were concerned, some good players were developed who give promise of making the the Tiger combination a winning »- one this year. Meanwhile the tracksters, under the guidance of Coach Hutsell, were enjoying a very successful season. M Three strong teams were met and fethc Tiger cinderpath artists were W returned victors in every one. Georgia, Georgia Tech, and Tulane were the* victims of the Auburn prowess. In the big S. .1. C. meet held, in Montgomery, the Tigers made an excellent showing, but were no - match for the powerful Mississippi Aggies team. Some unlucky breaks and accidents prevented the Orange and Blue runners from amassing a much larger score. With the return from the summer vacation, everyone bent their efforts toward producing a championship gridiron squad. The goal was not reached however, though for a while it looked as if the Tigers were going to be right around the top somewhere. Not %. an enemy score was rung up in the first five games, and only one tie marred the perfect record of the Plainsmen. V. P. I. was the team to knot the count, while Howard, Birmingham-Southern, Clemson and L L. S. U. fell before the march of L t h e Tigers. W The vicious schedule undertaken L- by the Tigers now began to tell on them, and the Auburnites were forced to bow in the last four contests , all of which were d M a r d fought. The ferocity with • t t c h the Tigers fought off their B y ^ s is shown by the fact that • f e t defeat was by a 13 to ^ L ' h c of Vander- I SPORTS TIGER CAGEMEN DROP PAIR TO GREENIES Bill McKinney Shines For Tigers In Both Contests While the student body of Auburn were more or less joyfully taking up their school work after the Christmas vacation, the Tiger basketeers were down in the City of the Sacred Pelican, absorbing Iwo beatings from the Greenie cagemen. In the first game the Louisianans rolled up 33 points to the Tigers' 18, while the score of the second contest was 45 to 31. For their first defeat, the Tigers can largely thank Carl Lind, the Greenies' captain. The Tulane leader was all over the floor and broke up the Auburn attacks shortly before they started. Bill McKinney proved, to be the Shining light for the Auburnites. He not only proved to be a good all-around player, but had a good eye for the basket, scoring exactly half of the Tiger points. Wallace also held up the family rep by playing an excellent game at forward and ringing up four more markers for the Tigers. The game was rather dull at the beginning, as both teams were so determined not to let the other score, that they did not give much attention to the offensive department. At the end of the first half the score stood 10 to 5, in favor of the Orleaneans. With the beginning of the second half, the five man defense began to loosen up in favor of a little more offensive work. Unhappily the Tulane bunch became a little more offensive than the Tigers, and therefore began to ring up goals with alarming rapidity, although Bill McKinney would slip in an occasional long shot for the Auburnites. In the second affray the Greenies started off with a rush, scoring three goals before the game was well under way. After this the Plainsmen tightened...up somewhat, but were unable to do much scoring, the first half ending with the score 23 to 10 in favor of Tulane. The old Tiger rally was staged in the second half, and for a time it looked as if the Auburnites would sweep the Greenies aside. However, the local defense stiffened and the Auburn offensive died down, after giving the Tulane cohorts a bad scare. Captain Lind again playedi a good game for the victors, but the outstanding performers for the New Orleans school were the Hennican brothers. Ellis at forward presented his team with ten points, while "Bugs" at the guard posi- (Continued on Page 6) hilt. This is not a lopsided score by any means, especially when it is considered that one of the touchdowns in this game came as a result of a recovered fumble. As the year gradually drew to a close another team trotted out to defend the Auburn colors, this time on the open roads. The crosscountry team, composed largely of new and inexperienced men, met the veteran Georgia combination and held them to a 25-30 score. In the Birmingham Athletic Club road race the Tigers placed fourth against the leading teams of the South, quite an achievement for a green aggregation. A real star seems to have been unearthed in the person of Shorty Morrow, who finished sixth in the Birmingham race, beating ouj Ritcher, the former champion. Morrow has won the first cross-country letter to be awarded at- the school, and as he is only a sophomore, some great things are expected of the sawed-off one before he leaves.

It is to be hoped, that the two pending games will be officially decided upon, for it is asking a great deal of a team to go through with a thirteen game schedule. Six conference games are in store for the Auburnites: Tulane, Georgia, and Georgia Tech each having two dates. The Alumni Gymnasium will be the scene of four conflicts: Fort Benning, Georgia Tech, B. A. C, and Georgia all paying a visit to the village during the winter. It is possible that Mercer will also call upon the Auburnites, but this game is not definitely arranged. Several trips of varying length are in store for the Plainsmen. RAT CAGE PRACTICE STARTS Wednesday afternoon at three o'clock the gymnasium swarmed with the applicants for positions on the F'reshman basketball team. No greaF- number of the same kind of uniforms donned the First Year Hopefuls. Although it is too early to make any rash predictions, we may safely say that this year's quintet will compare favorably with that of any of our rivals and that's not "baloney." Coach Cole received the large delegation with with open arms and; a smile of gratitude. To be sure there was enough human flesh in the old Gym. to enrapture any true lover of sport. There were tall boys and short boys, large boys and small boys, fat boys and lean boys, well built boys and boys out of proportion, indifferent boys and boys nervous The first was to Georgia, where t p t h e p o i n t o f p r o s t r a t i o n . i ? | f a ct Mercer and Albany were met, both there was hardly a single type of games being lost by close margins. Then the Bunkermen travelled to the Mardi Gras City, where the strong Tulane aggregation was encountered,. In the latter part of January another trip will be made to the Gulf Coast, Mobile and Pensacola being listed as the stopping places. A most important journey will be made in early February, when the Tigers stage their second "March through Georgia" for the purpose of meeting Georgia Tech and the University, in Atlanta and Athens respectively. Then the Auburnites will, jog over to Fort Benning, where the infantrymen will be met. The Plainsmen will leave home for the last time on February 27, when they again sojourn to the sister state to the right, this time to enter the lists against the flower of the South. Last year the American youth absent from the assembly. There was one point in common, however, and that was the "Where.am.I-at" expression which was plainly evident on their eager countenances. As usual the High School stars will come in for a great part of the expectancy, but it is our advice to watch the "green rats"; they will be quite a novelty, for rodents of that peculiar hue are very rare. The date of their first home appearance will be announced, later, together with a complete schedule. Bats, get behind your team and show a little post-season pep. Plainsmen lasted one game longer than expected, the Yellow Jackets losing to the locals in the first round of the tournament. However, the strong 'Bama bunch stopped the Auburnites on the following night. Speaking Of Sports With the big intersectional games been the savior of football, in, that now over, King Football can be pronounced, officially dead, and King Basketball can be acclaimed as the Ruler of Sports. Although Thanksgiving is supposed to be the official date for the demise of the Gridiron Ruler, the old boy hung on a long time, and didn't really breathe his last until New Year's Day. At that, the disputes over rules and All-American teams, to say nothing over the various post-mortem excuses for the failure of various teams will probably last well into the baseball season. Several reformers have been croaking about the forward pass and some have gone so far as to say that a touchdown resulting from this variety of attack should count only three points. To our unsophisticated minds, this looks to be the heighth of foolishness. The forward pass has the smaller teams have been placed on a more even footing with the larger ones. / While it is harder to push aside an opposing team and buck one's way over for a touchdown than to flip a short pass to somebody out in open territory, it must still be remembered that a successful pass calls for some real brainwork and teamwork. A great deal of brawn is required for a steady driving offense, but a light, heady team can more than hold its own by means of the aerial Damsels of Chattanooga and Auburn To Battle At Gym The Alumni Gymnasium, after a comparatively quiet summer and fall will resound with war-whoops, battle-songs, and cries of "No Quarter" tonight. For the fair representatives of the University of Chattanooga will, stage an invasion of Auburn, and the Zooties will be right on hand to repel boarders. Fierce indeed will be the conflict, for the ordinarly quiet, demure, and lady-like inhabitants of Smith Hall will become regular Tigresses on the Gym floor, and throw all laws of etiquette and de-corum\ to the four winds when defending the honor of the Alma Mater against outsiders. After enjoying two undefeated seasons the Coeds tripped up in the very first'game this year, bowing to the Ladiy Petrels shortly before Christmas. The Auburnites showed some good team work in this game, but were unable to overcome the great individual playing of >Iiss Nichols, that young lady gathering sixteen of the twenty- two points amassed by the Georgians. As a result of this defeat the Coeds are going about with blood in their eyes and promise to make Chattanooga pay for the indignities suffered at the hands of Oglethorpe. Just how calmly the Tennesseans will take this remains to be seen. The game is certain to be an interesting one, as the Co-eds have a veteran team) while the visitors are also bringing down a strong aggregation. This contest will start the local cage season, and will be the first of several campus games, the Co-eds taking part in three, while the Varsity will appear in the remaining four. attack. In the last analysis, the forward pass is simply a triumph of mind over matter, and by evening up the teams has brought football to heights of popularity never before reached by the gridiron sport. The first game of the local cage season should be a humdinger. Oglethorpe has proved to the Coeds that they are not invincible, and therefore they should put out some real basketball. In fact, it will be entirely necessary to do so, as Chattanooga is bringing down a strong team. Next Tuesday, unhappily the thirteenth, the Varsity will make their first local appearance of the season.. The Tigers—have found the going rather rough in the opening games, but expect to make a new start with Fort Benning here. SOLDIERS TO BATTLE TIGERS NEXT TUESDAY After the Benning game, the Georgia Tech Jackets will be met here a week from today. Coach Bunker has a new team here this season, but they are certainly getting plenty of experience. They ought to be able to act like seasoned veterans by the time the S. C. I. tourney rolls around.

For opponents the Tigers will have the Infantry team of Fort Benning, and they are expected, to be quite worthy ones, too. Although the Tigers have been a bit slow getting started this year, .here is plenty of good material on the team, and and when the newer players receive the proper amount of collegiate experience the team will be hard to head. The two McKinneys, Wallace and Bill, have been doing some great work, while Hall and Long have also been showing up well. Taken as a whole the greatest handicap of the team is the lack of height, but the Plainsmen are more than making up for this with their scrappy work. Only three letter men of last year will be on hand when the Tigers take the floor next Tuesday, ;hese being the. two McKinneys and Barks. Captain Hahn, Duke, Harrison, and Creel have joined the ranks of the departed heroes, leaving an aching void in the Auburn ranks. Just what lineup Coach Herb Bunker will send in at the beginning is not certain, but it is believed that the two McKinneys will be found at forward, Hall at center, with Gray and Long holding down the guardi positions. Fort Benning is sending down an unusually strong team this year and the Tigers will have to step lively to keep ahead of the Doughboys. No less than three of the five are former West Pointers, while the remainder are tried and true veterans of the court. Included in this trio of former Pointers are McQuarrie and Smy-the, two All-American football players, who are equally proficient on the gym floor. George Smythe, Army quarter who dealt so much misery to Auburn when the Tiger griddiers invaded the North, will be seen at forward. NHe is said to be a whiz at the cage game, and certain it is that he will show plenty of speed if nothing else. McQuarrie, the other All-American gridiron star, is said to be pure, unadulterated arsenic on the floor. This all-around, athlete plays either center or guard and is equally proficient at both departments. Among the members of the past year's West Point class is a young man who is held by many authorities to be one of the greatest cage-men ever to leave the Academy. He is Dabezies, who plays center, and who has a deadly eye on the basket. Other members of the Infantry aggregation include FVanz and Kgelstrom, who also shine on the gridiron; and Nehf, Pearson, Buck and Dwyer. In the opening game of the season the infantrymen took in tow the Lee County Athletes by a score of 40 to 25. While the losers were not a college team, they had a combination not to be sneezed at, including the three James boys, Murray Hoffman, •Knight, Vickery and others. If the Soldiers could do that well in the opening game with little or no practice, it is easy to be seen that Auburn has plenty of work in store for them. That Benning will bring down a well coached bunch is evident from the fact that their mentor is Joe McKenna, former Notre Dame star and captain of the team in 1916. If the Blues have been able to absorb any of that Notre Dame system, then all hands had better watch out for trouble. - • - • * - THE PLAINSMAN STATE BANKERS TO HOLD MEETING HERE A special called meeting of state Bankers will be held in Auburn January 23.

AUBURN CAGEMEN DROP PAIR TO GREENIES (Continued from Page 5) THE NEW COLLEGE CAFE One of the most pleasing sights to greet those coming back to Auburn from the holidays was the new College Cafe which was opened for business last Saturday, being operated by Mr. F. A. Rogers, an Alumnus of Auburn. He is conducting the place on the basis of high quality and cleanliness, and if the present be used as a barometer for the future the College Cafe will be synonymous for quality and cleanliness of the highest type obtainable. As an Alumnus of Auburn, Mr. Rogers is extending a most cordial invitation for all Auburn students to come around, and make themselves thoroughly at home. Mr. Rogers has thoroughly renovated the place so that it could hardly be recognized.- He has arranged it so as to be especially desirable for all banquets which can be held in absolute privacy. This feature has long been needed by Auburn and we congratulate Mr. Rogers on the plan. tion crept up the floor often enough to ring up ten more. Peggy Flour-noy, of gridiron fame, also managed io ring up five baskets. Again Bill McKinney was the shining light for the Tigers. The Tulane five man defense meant nothing at all to this young man, eight field goals and two foul* being the sum total of his evening's efforts.

He being anxious to return to Auburn after a visit to the North Carolina foot hills, cranked up his flivver and was off. Everything was O.

Perhaps it was his determination to make the three hundred or more miles in one day that led to his speed but he must have failed to notice the signs along the newly built pavement in LaGrange, therefore this special committee took it upon themselves to inform Prof. Roe of their advice. It is rumored that the city is much pleased with the generous donation made by Prof. Roc during his stop-over. Said the violin to the harp: "You're nothingvbut a big lyre."

Rogers ®ftg (flollggg (ftafr S Published in the interest of Electrical Development by an Institution that will be helped by what' ever helps the Industry. —and even electrical engineers are needed in the electrical industry Nowadays the electrical industry needs so many types of men that it may be well to point out it still needs engineers, good engineers— but with a difference. Vision, initiative, technical skill are needed qualities, now as always. But here's another. Can you work on the team? Will you be able to back up the other members in the manufacturing and commercial ends of the business? The engineer today should be no recluse in a laboratory. He can make his work more effective once he sees how it relates to the work of men around him. In your studies and college activities, you have the chance now to develop this point of view. In the broader activities of the electrical industry, you may have the chance later on to carry it further.

OCR Transcript | TO FO R THE AUBURN SPIRIT Vol. XXVIII AUBURN, ALABAMA, SATURDAY, JANUARY 10, 1925. No. 16 ALABAMA POWER CO. MAKES BIG DONATION SPECIAL FEATURES FOR JUNIOR PROM TO BE BIGGEST SOCIAL EVENT OF YEAR Star Musicians It isn't an everyday occurrence that Auburn and the South has the opportunity to be treated to such a rare occasion as 'those who trip the fantastic toe' will be treated to on the 22, 23, and 24th d,ays of January. When the youthful Mr. Harold Oxley and his Cinderilla Roof Garden Orchestra step from the train sometime during the day of the twenty-secnd, Auburn will indeed be 'honored with some of the best music since the advent of the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra last year. This gala group of young gentlemen will be found to be. gentlemen well versed in their art and musicians of the highest type. On the evening of the twenty-second, at the Alumni Gymnasium, when Mr. Oxley pulls his bow down we will have a treat long looked forward to. Mr. Oxley plays our popular music to symphonic arrangements so as to make Alexander's Ragtime Band sound like the poet and the peasant and then at the necessary and opportune time he will burst forth with "hokum" that hardly he himself would take notice of. „ Mr. Oxley has recorded for the Okey and Paramount phonograph people and, has a wide reputation of being one of Paul Speck's foremost orchestras, which is saying a great deal as Mr. Specks distribute^ one hundred and fifty orchestras in the United States and seventy- five abroad.

DEATH OF AUBURN STUDENT Members of the student body and others will regret to hear of the dealth of Louis Flowers, a Junior in Electrical Engineering. He was killed during the holidays when a team of mules, which he was driving, became frightened and threw him from the wagon. His home is Ozark; Ala. Flowers was liked by all who knew him. jnior Class as well as the pllege suffers a great loss h. Sixty Guests Present On last Tuesday night a Luncheon was tendered the visiting Home Demonstration Agents by the Auburn Home Economics Association at the Tea Room. The luncheon was given in honor of the fifty or more Home Demonstration Agents who are here taking a three day course in Extension work. Miss Henrietta Thompson very capably filled, the office of toast-master. Short talks were made by the following special guests: Dr. Dowell, Miss Harris, Dr. Petrie, Mrs. Ross, Dr. Ross, and Mrs. Clara Ellen Yarbrough. The guests were favored with several musical selections and other features. A delightful course was enjoyed and a very pleasant evening spent bjj| the sixty or more guests present. . MUSICAL COMEDY ROSETIME COMING JANUARY 13TH Under Auspices of Woman's Club Glomerata Beauty Contest The selection of the seven girls for the Beauty Section of the 1925 Glomerata will be in the form of a contest. Any one wishing to enter a girl's picture may do so for an entrance fee of $5.00, with the assurance that this picture will appear in the Senior Favorite Section if it does not win a place in the seven page Beauty Section.

All pictures entering either of these sections must be turned in to the Glomerata Board before February 1st, 1925. FACULTY MEMBERS ATTEND SCIENTIFIC MEET Six members of the faculty attended the American Academy of Science held in Washington during the holidays. The Academy is held each year during the holiday season and is attended by the foremost educators of the country and matters of importance in the educational world are dealt with. Dr. Allison, Professors L. S. Good, F. E. Guyton, C. L. Isbell, Dr. W. A. Gardner, and Dr. Covington were the members of the Auburn faculty attending the Acadr emy. VIOLIN AND PIANO RECITAL IN LANGDON HALL The music lovers of A^uburn were given a real treat last Tuesday night, when they had the opportunity of hearing Misses Christine «nd Ruth McCann render a very fine program of violin and piano compositions. The music was greatly enjoyed by all present. The program was composed entirely of classical or semi-classical selec-ons. It is to be hoped that a program of this type may be heard here quite often, in the future. A sparkling musical comedy, "Rosetime," will be presented at Langdon Hall in Auburn on Tuesday night. It will be given by the Wayne P. Sewellt Lyceum and Producing Co., of Atlanta, Ga., under the auspices of the Literary Department of the Woman's Club. The leading role of Rose Perkins will be taken by Mrs. Freddie Scott Lipscomb, whose lovely soprano voice will add much to the success of the production. The other members of the cast are: Pat Moulton, who will take1 the leading man's part, Jerry Brown; "Snake" Vaughan, who is expected to shine in the part of J. Dillingham Jones; Mrs. John Jackson will take the part of Mile. Jacqueline Deauville, the French Vamp; the part of Ma Perkins will be taken by Miss Mary Martin and Pa Perkins will be the inimitable Prof. Baughman; it is known that r"Skeet" Meadows, in the role of Props. O'Riley will make quite a hit; Babe Brunette will be played by Miss Margaret Lane who has always charmed her audiences in character parts; Geo. Kernodle will portray Percy Pea-body, the rising young scenario writer; and the part of Squint Smith will be taken by Dryden Baughman. A beautiful chorus composed of pretty girls and other characters complete the cast. The opening scene is a garden chorus, composed of eight attractive girls in gay costumes with eight young men. (Continued on Page 6) EXTENSION SERVICE HOLDS MEETING DURING HOLIDAYS Over Two Hundred Men And Women Attend The Annual Winter Farmer's and Farmwomen's Conference was held in Auburn during the week. December 29 to January 2. The Conference was called and held under the auspices of the Agricultural Extension Service. The object of the Conference was "to work out and adopt an agricultural and farm home program for Alabama." The gathering was a replica with a number of improvements of a like meeting held here last year. The Conference was attended by County Agents, Home Demonstration Agents, Women County Workers, Farm Organizers, Industrial Leaders, and Agricultural Experts. Each county in the state was represented by County Agents and Home Demonstration Agents, and, in addition, one farmer from each county sent to the Conference by the Farm, Bureau. Women representatives were present from the thirty-six counties in which the Demonstration work has been organized. A total of over 200 men and women were in attendance for the meetings. The subject matter discussed and reported on by the various committees (the committees being selected from among the delegates) were: Field, Propagation, Fertilization, Pasturage, Animal Husbandry, Agricultural Engineering, Plant Distribution, Entomology, Organization, Marketing, Cooperative Buying. The subjects discussed by the women were: "The Standard AUBURN TO HAVE MOST POW ERFUL BROADBASTER IN THE SOUTH PLANS BEING MADE FOR NEW RADIO BUILDING The donation of the broadcasting station WSY, by the Alabama Power Company to the Alabama Polytechnic Institute, makes it possible for Auburn to have one of the most powerful and complete stations in America. The new broadcaster will operate on one thousand watts and will probably be located in a special radio building. Educational and musical programs will be broadcasted regularly for the benefit of America's huge radio audience. Mr. Victor H. Hanson, trustee of the institution and publisher of The Birmingham News, officially offered the set to the college as a gift of the Power Company. Examination Schedule January 16th To January 22nd A.

HOME AGENTS GIVE SCHOLARSHIP Established In Memory of Margaret Duncan The Margaret Duncan scholarship for a girl student at the Alabama Polytechnic Institute has been established by the home demonstration agents of Alabama. A decision to award a scholarship in memory of the daughter of Prof. L. N. Duncan, director of the extension service, who died in November, 1924, was made by the home demnstration agents1 who are in session here this week. They called on Prof, and Mrs. Duncan in a body and notified them of their decision. It will be a loan scholarship of at least $250 each year and will be increased until it amounts to $1,000. •—Montgomery Advertiser. Farm Home," what it should be, how supported, etc., The Recommendations made by the women's committee will be published in "An Agricultural and Farm Home Program for Alabama." The developments of the meeting by the various other committees will be published in a hand book with plans, suggestions, and, detailed information. Prof. L. N. Duncan, of the Extension Department, was in charge of the men's meetings and Miss Agnes Ellen Harris, dean of women, was in charge of the women's meetings. The men delegates were housed in the Roys' Dormitory and the women delegates in Smith Hall. All were given their meals in Smith Hall. For those delegates not staying in the dormitories, rooms were provided in private homes and fraternity houses. It was necessary to hold the conference during the holidays in order to care for the delegates as adequate facilities arc not available during the regular school session. Mr. Irving Patrick, editor-in-chief of the Plainsman during the term of 23-24, is seriously ill in the South Highlands Infirmary of Birmingham. "Pat" has many friends in Auburn, all of whom wish him a speedy recovery. The Alabama Power Company, one of the largest and most progressive companies of its kind, in the south, is one of Auburn's greatest benefactors. The company has already made several generous donations previous to this one and have six scholarship students on the college roll. The donation of the set to the institution is a fact of which Auburn is justly proud as it will rank Auburn among the first in the scientific development of radio communication. Auburn is in fine shape to use such a gift to a great advantage as the radio department of the college, under the supervision of Prof. Arthur St. Charles Dunstan and headed by Mr. Malcolm Wilder, is one of the most progressive of its kind in the south. Laboratories for experimental research, in both transmitting and receiving, have been recently completed and are ready to be used in the advancement of the science of radio. The department also owns one of the best and most widely known experimental relay stations which is a member of the American Radio Relay League and is daily handling a number of messages, free of charge, for those who wish to send them. With the addition of the equipment of WSY, combined with that already being used by WMAV, the radio department will be one of the foremost in the country. WSY is widely known throughiut the United States as they broadcasted many good programs during their period of operation. It was operated on 500 watts. WMAV, which was donated by The Birmingham News, also has a host of friends throughout the country. It operates on 750 watts. These two powerful sets will be combined in the radio department here and rebuilt into one 1000 watt super-broadcasting station. The design and construction of this super-broadcaster will be engineered by Mr. Malcolm Wilder, under the supervision of Prof. Dunstan, head of the Electrical Engineering Department of the institution. Mr. Wilder has a great deal of experience along radio lines and is well fitted for the task. He formerly operated an amateur station of his own and also did commercial radio telegraphic work at sea for several years. Auburn is very fortunate in acquiring this generous gift and is deeply grateful to the Alabama Power Company and friends interested in the donation.

Is there a lad who has not tasted its bitter dregs? The monster we speak of is the sly, lurking, binding, fastening demon the "Bull Session." It is our opinion that this monster is in a great way responsible for the majority o* failures in colleges of today. Many students with good intentions and great dreams of the future have had them blasted by this much famed evil. Doubtless bright careers have ended in a "Bull Session." You are bound to come in contact with them. It all depends on whether or not you can evade the temptation to attend them too often. They are so much easier to sit through than a lecture or a study period, that they are indeed a sore temptation to the average student. These sessions not only do very little good but they are liable to do a great deal of harm for they are the best propagators of false ideas, reports and opinions. Let's wage a war on them. Make an amendment to your constitution and join an "anti-bull session league." The Plainsman wishes all of its friend.s a happy and prosperous New Year. We note that "crams" rhymes with "exams." Seniors, '25, is now on the calendar as well as the tank. JOB—A big question. THE NEW YEAR Ring out the old. Ring in the new. We are now living in the New Year. Th* beginning of a year is always a time of great optimism, a lime of good resolutions and a time of general good feeling. Has it affected you that way? Do you see any difference in your mode of living since the twelve o'clock hour announced the arrival of '25. The New Year is the time to use the trash basket. Throw away all those things which have worried you in the past. Clean up the junk. Take stock of yourself. Find your biggest trouble and try to remedy it. (This is not given for advice but is simply an effort to try to cause someone to think.) The term is not half over but let's begin the sprint. An Auburn student body can hold it to the end. Get behind your institution in every way possible. When any trouble comes up, make your decision and act accordingly, always having in mind the importance of acting in such a way that will not cause you or your Alma Mater trouble. Anyway the New Year is ours. Let's make it a big one.

DUNSTAN Virginia has been the original home of many distinguished men and of many of our best known and best liked professors. Professor Albert St. Charles Dunstan is not, by any means, the least of these. He was born at Fredericksburg of people who were originally from England. His father was a mining engineer for a number of English and American companies and travelled a great deal over both North and South America. The son received his early education in the public schools of Fred,er-ickshurg and Roanoke, Virginia, and the H. W. Griggs Academy at Monte vallo. The instinct of a man who has the spirit of Auburn though he may never have even heard of that spirit, perhaps, brought him to the Alabama Polytechnic Institute for his college education. He received his B. S. degree in 1889 in Civil Engineering. During the next year after graduate course he was awarded the degree of Mining Engineer and of Civil Engineer the following year. Graduate courses at Johns Hopkins University and the University of Chicago further added to the knowledge which is so abundant that even a student marvels. His first position was Professor of Higher Mathematics at Scotts-boro College, 1892-93. He then became Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering at the University of Kansas. In 1899, Auburn had the good fortune of seeing him return as Professor of Electrical Engineering, where he has been ever since. Besides "drumming" engineering into hardheaded students, Professor Dunstan's work has taken him into many fields. He was, at one time, consulting electrical engineer for the Kansas State Board of Charities, electrical engineer for a number of cities and private companies, southern representative of the American Engine Company, etc. He has had a number of articles published, in "Electrical World," "American Journal of Science," "Atrophysical Journal," etc., and edited a magazine on engineering. He has been an active member of the American Institute of Electrical "Engineering and innumerable other societies, a fellow in the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and was, forj a time, interpreter and translator for the electrical world, being able to speak several languages, among which are German, French, Polish Cecho-SIovakia and Russian. The following statement comes from an engineering student and seems to be the sentiment of all who know him. "He is a great professor and can surely hold the attention of his class. He is liked by every and all students who ever had any contact with him at any time." THE BULLETIN BOARD 9:30 A. 1:00 A. 2:00 P. 0:30 P. M. M. M. M. :30 P. M. 7:00 P. M. SATURDAY, JANUARY 10 8:15 P.

For his new Metro-Goldwyn picture, "The Navigator;" which is coming to the Post Theatre on Sunday, more than 300 negroes were used as cannibals. In one scene they were supposed to jump from the deck of the ocean liner chartered for the picture. . Buster divided them into five classes and when the signal for (Mass B came' to jump, one lone California cannibal remained on the deck. "Don't you know what Class B means?" asked Buster. "Yessir, I does," came the reply, "It means Ise goin' to BE here when the others dive, and Ise goin' to BE here when they comes back." —Infantry School News. Fresh Laws: "That's the short for "you may call again." "Is it true that in the air service you are retired as a colonel after fifteen years?"

Djer Kiss: "I should say I won't —but I guess I will." —The Davidsonian. The old lady was timidly inspecting the stock of spectacles. "How much are these?" she asked, selecting -a pair. "A dollar and half, madam." "And how much without the case?" "Well, the case makes little difference. Suppose we say $1.45." "What? Is the case only worth five cents?" "Yes, Madam," firmly.

Rew, Carrollton, Ala.., held first place at the end of the ninth week of the national egg laying contest or demonstration in progress here, according to an offical report made by John E. Ivey, head of the poultry department. Another pen of the same breed owned by W. J. Hagood, Town Creek, Lawrence county, held second place. The 10 hens belonging to Rew laid 340 eggs in nine weeks, and those belonging to Hagood had laid 319 eggs. Third place was held by the Happy Poultry Yards, of Memphis, Tenn; the fourth by The Great Southern Poultry Farm at Line-ville. Mrs. Alice T. Peart, of Lox-ley, Baldwin county, held fifth place. The five highest pens are White Leghorns, and the sixth is a pen of Buff Orpingtons owned by Judge Sam High, of Ashville. In his report Mr. Ivey called attention to the fact that production the ninth week was almost exactly that of the eighth week, despite the fact that rain fell every day and the hens -were kept in houses all the time. There are 96 pens of 10 each in the contest, and at the end of the ninth week they had laid 15,584 eggs. Production during the\ ninth week was 2,569 eggs.

Special Attention To Feeds And Banquets If egg laying contests conducted in Alabama and New York are fairly, representative, Alabama is a better Poultry state than is New York. On Nov. 1, 1924, a contest was started here and at the New York College of Agriculture, andi reports to date show that the Alabama hens are far ahead of the New York hens in production. A report received by John E. Ivey poultry specialist here, for the eighth week of the New York contest shows that 1,000 hens in that contest laid 1,060 eggs during the eighth week, while 960 hens in the contest at Auburn laid 2,576 eggs. Not one of the New York hens made 100 per cent, while 22 of the Alabama hens scored 100. The percentage production in New York was 15.1, compared with 38.33 per cent here. The highest pen in New York produced 35 eggs, while the highest in Alabama produced, 49. This is accepted by Mr. Ivey as further evidence in favor of poultry and egg production in Alabama. —The Birmingham News. Freshman Lit. Society Holds Live Meeting Right after the holidays when everyone was rather tired, and not at all enthusiastic about things scholastic, the Rat Literary Society held one of their best meetings. It was of course, rather hard to present a regular program after everyone had been away from the college for so long, yet a clever impromptu program was enjoyed by all. Such interesting things as "How did she treat you during the holidays?" and "Where were you at one A. M. last January the first?" were the subjects under discussion and some very humorous replies were made. All were particularly interested in a talk by Professor Evans in which he told about his trip to Richmond, Philadelphia, and historical points of interest. There will be a meeting next week, and as the program committee has promised one of their best programs to finish up the semester, we ask everyone to be present. ALUMNI NEWS A. B.

The basketeers, captained by Fred Hahn, got off to a good start, and captured several hard fought games in the beginning of the season, but as the year wore on, the cagemen wilted under the heavy schedule and, were obliged to bow ' to Georgia, Tech, and others. When hte Atlanta tournament rolled around, the Tigers were doped to drop out in the first round, but the Auburnites gave the dope bucket a gentle push, and pounced upon the Techsters and administered unto them a hearty trouncing., This upset brought together for the first time in several years the Auburn and, Alabama teams. Some •were inclined to view this turn of » events with alarm, and spoke vaguely of riots, bloodshed, and the like. However, the fears of the pessimists were groundless, for, although the Tigers were beaten by » a substantial score, they fought hard and played like real sports to the end, while the 'Bama men distinguished themselves throughout the game for their clean and sportsmanlike playing. While the Varsity basketeers were carrying on, the inhabitants of the Zoo were dabbling in the cage game also, and right well did ^ t h e y uphold the, reputation of the school. Going up against some strong opposition, Cutey Brown and her playmates enjoyed a season of unmarred defeat, and were declared Southern Champions for the second successive year. When springtime came and the ' young man's fancy lightly turned to baseball, etc., the Tiger diamond artists found a new coach at the i helm. While Ned Cole's team was not a great success, as far as games won and lost were concerned, some good players were developed who give promise of making the the Tiger combination a winning »- one this year. Meanwhile the tracksters, under the guidance of Coach Hutsell, were enjoying a very successful season. M Three strong teams were met and fethc Tiger cinderpath artists were W returned victors in every one. Georgia, Georgia Tech, and Tulane were the* victims of the Auburn prowess. In the big S. .1. C. meet held, in Montgomery, the Tigers made an excellent showing, but were no - match for the powerful Mississippi Aggies team. Some unlucky breaks and accidents prevented the Orange and Blue runners from amassing a much larger score. With the return from the summer vacation, everyone bent their efforts toward producing a championship gridiron squad. The goal was not reached however, though for a while it looked as if the Tigers were going to be right around the top somewhere. Not %. an enemy score was rung up in the first five games, and only one tie marred the perfect record of the Plainsmen. V. P. I. was the team to knot the count, while Howard, Birmingham-Southern, Clemson and L L. S. U. fell before the march of L t h e Tigers. W The vicious schedule undertaken L- by the Tigers now began to tell on them, and the Auburnites were forced to bow in the last four contests , all of which were d M a r d fought. The ferocity with • t t c h the Tigers fought off their B y ^ s is shown by the fact that • f e t defeat was by a 13 to ^ L ' h c of Vander- I SPORTS TIGER CAGEMEN DROP PAIR TO GREENIES Bill McKinney Shines For Tigers In Both Contests While the student body of Auburn were more or less joyfully taking up their school work after the Christmas vacation, the Tiger basketeers were down in the City of the Sacred Pelican, absorbing Iwo beatings from the Greenie cagemen. In the first game the Louisianans rolled up 33 points to the Tigers' 18, while the score of the second contest was 45 to 31. For their first defeat, the Tigers can largely thank Carl Lind, the Greenies' captain. The Tulane leader was all over the floor and broke up the Auburn attacks shortly before they started. Bill McKinney proved, to be the Shining light for the Auburnites. He not only proved to be a good all-around player, but had a good eye for the basket, scoring exactly half of the Tiger points. Wallace also held up the family rep by playing an excellent game at forward and ringing up four more markers for the Tigers. The game was rather dull at the beginning, as both teams were so determined not to let the other score, that they did not give much attention to the offensive department. At the end of the first half the score stood 10 to 5, in favor of the Orleaneans. With the beginning of the second half, the five man defense began to loosen up in favor of a little more offensive work. Unhappily the Tulane bunch became a little more offensive than the Tigers, and therefore began to ring up goals with alarming rapidity, although Bill McKinney would slip in an occasional long shot for the Auburnites. In the second affray the Greenies started off with a rush, scoring three goals before the game was well under way. After this the Plainsmen tightened...up somewhat, but were unable to do much scoring, the first half ending with the score 23 to 10 in favor of Tulane. The old Tiger rally was staged in the second half, and for a time it looked as if the Auburnites would sweep the Greenies aside. However, the local defense stiffened and the Auburn offensive died down, after giving the Tulane cohorts a bad scare. Captain Lind again playedi a good game for the victors, but the outstanding performers for the New Orleans school were the Hennican brothers. Ellis at forward presented his team with ten points, while "Bugs" at the guard posi- (Continued on Page 6) hilt. This is not a lopsided score by any means, especially when it is considered that one of the touchdowns in this game came as a result of a recovered fumble. As the year gradually drew to a close another team trotted out to defend the Auburn colors, this time on the open roads. The crosscountry team, composed largely of new and inexperienced men, met the veteran Georgia combination and held them to a 25-30 score. In the Birmingham Athletic Club road race the Tigers placed fourth against the leading teams of the South, quite an achievement for a green aggregation. A real star seems to have been unearthed in the person of Shorty Morrow, who finished sixth in the Birmingham race, beating ouj Ritcher, the former champion. Morrow has won the first cross-country letter to be awarded at- the school, and as he is only a sophomore, some great things are expected of the sawed-off one before he leaves.

It is to be hoped, that the two pending games will be officially decided upon, for it is asking a great deal of a team to go through with a thirteen game schedule. Six conference games are in store for the Auburnites: Tulane, Georgia, and Georgia Tech each having two dates. The Alumni Gymnasium will be the scene of four conflicts: Fort Benning, Georgia Tech, B. A. C, and Georgia all paying a visit to the village during the winter. It is possible that Mercer will also call upon the Auburnites, but this game is not definitely arranged. Several trips of varying length are in store for the Plainsmen. RAT CAGE PRACTICE STARTS Wednesday afternoon at three o'clock the gymnasium swarmed with the applicants for positions on the F'reshman basketball team. No greaF- number of the same kind of uniforms donned the First Year Hopefuls. Although it is too early to make any rash predictions, we may safely say that this year's quintet will compare favorably with that of any of our rivals and that's not "baloney." Coach Cole received the large delegation with with open arms and; a smile of gratitude. To be sure there was enough human flesh in the old Gym. to enrapture any true lover of sport. There were tall boys and short boys, large boys and small boys, fat boys and lean boys, well built boys and boys out of proportion, indifferent boys and boys nervous The first was to Georgia, where t p t h e p o i n t o f p r o s t r a t i o n . i ? | f a ct Mercer and Albany were met, both there was hardly a single type of games being lost by close margins. Then the Bunkermen travelled to the Mardi Gras City, where the strong Tulane aggregation was encountered,. In the latter part of January another trip will be made to the Gulf Coast, Mobile and Pensacola being listed as the stopping places. A most important journey will be made in early February, when the Tigers stage their second "March through Georgia" for the purpose of meeting Georgia Tech and the University, in Atlanta and Athens respectively. Then the Auburnites will, jog over to Fort Benning, where the infantrymen will be met. The Plainsmen will leave home for the last time on February 27, when they again sojourn to the sister state to the right, this time to enter the lists against the flower of the South. Last year the American youth absent from the assembly. There was one point in common, however, and that was the "Where.am.I-at" expression which was plainly evident on their eager countenances. As usual the High School stars will come in for a great part of the expectancy, but it is our advice to watch the "green rats"; they will be quite a novelty, for rodents of that peculiar hue are very rare. The date of their first home appearance will be announced, later, together with a complete schedule. Bats, get behind your team and show a little post-season pep. Plainsmen lasted one game longer than expected, the Yellow Jackets losing to the locals in the first round of the tournament. However, the strong 'Bama bunch stopped the Auburnites on the following night. Speaking Of Sports With the big intersectional games been the savior of football, in, that now over, King Football can be pronounced, officially dead, and King Basketball can be acclaimed as the Ruler of Sports. Although Thanksgiving is supposed to be the official date for the demise of the Gridiron Ruler, the old boy hung on a long time, and didn't really breathe his last until New Year's Day. At that, the disputes over rules and All-American teams, to say nothing over the various post-mortem excuses for the failure of various teams will probably last well into the baseball season. Several reformers have been croaking about the forward pass and some have gone so far as to say that a touchdown resulting from this variety of attack should count only three points. To our unsophisticated minds, this looks to be the heighth of foolishness. The forward pass has the smaller teams have been placed on a more even footing with the larger ones. / While it is harder to push aside an opposing team and buck one's way over for a touchdown than to flip a short pass to somebody out in open territory, it must still be remembered that a successful pass calls for some real brainwork and teamwork. A great deal of brawn is required for a steady driving offense, but a light, heady team can more than hold its own by means of the aerial Damsels of Chattanooga and Auburn To Battle At Gym The Alumni Gymnasium, after a comparatively quiet summer and fall will resound with war-whoops, battle-songs, and cries of "No Quarter" tonight. For the fair representatives of the University of Chattanooga will, stage an invasion of Auburn, and the Zooties will be right on hand to repel boarders. Fierce indeed will be the conflict, for the ordinarly quiet, demure, and lady-like inhabitants of Smith Hall will become regular Tigresses on the Gym floor, and throw all laws of etiquette and de-corum\ to the four winds when defending the honor of the Alma Mater against outsiders. After enjoying two undefeated seasons the Coeds tripped up in the very first'game this year, bowing to the Ladiy Petrels shortly before Christmas. The Auburnites showed some good team work in this game, but were unable to overcome the great individual playing of >Iiss Nichols, that young lady gathering sixteen of the twenty- two points amassed by the Georgians. As a result of this defeat the Coeds are going about with blood in their eyes and promise to make Chattanooga pay for the indignities suffered at the hands of Oglethorpe. Just how calmly the Tennesseans will take this remains to be seen. The game is certain to be an interesting one, as the Co-eds have a veteran team) while the visitors are also bringing down a strong aggregation. This contest will start the local cage season, and will be the first of several campus games, the Co-eds taking part in three, while the Varsity will appear in the remaining four. attack. In the last analysis, the forward pass is simply a triumph of mind over matter, and by evening up the teams has brought football to heights of popularity never before reached by the gridiron sport. The first game of the local cage season should be a humdinger. Oglethorpe has proved to the Coeds that they are not invincible, and therefore they should put out some real basketball. In fact, it will be entirely necessary to do so, as Chattanooga is bringing down a strong team. Next Tuesday, unhappily the thirteenth, the Varsity will make their first local appearance of the season.. The Tigers—have found the going rather rough in the opening games, but expect to make a new start with Fort Benning here. SOLDIERS TO BATTLE TIGERS NEXT TUESDAY After the Benning game, the Georgia Tech Jackets will be met here a week from today. Coach Bunker has a new team here this season, but they are certainly getting plenty of experience. They ought to be able to act like seasoned veterans by the time the S. C. I. tourney rolls around.

For opponents the Tigers will have the Infantry team of Fort Benning, and they are expected, to be quite worthy ones, too. Although the Tigers have been a bit slow getting started this year, .here is plenty of good material on the team, and and when the newer players receive the proper amount of collegiate experience the team will be hard to head. The two McKinneys, Wallace and Bill, have been doing some great work, while Hall and Long have also been showing up well. Taken as a whole the greatest handicap of the team is the lack of height, but the Plainsmen are more than making up for this with their scrappy work. Only three letter men of last year will be on hand when the Tigers take the floor next Tuesday, ;hese being the. two McKinneys and Barks. Captain Hahn, Duke, Harrison, and Creel have joined the ranks of the departed heroes, leaving an aching void in the Auburn ranks. Just what lineup Coach Herb Bunker will send in at the beginning is not certain, but it is believed that the two McKinneys will be found at forward, Hall at center, with Gray and Long holding down the guardi positions. Fort Benning is sending down an unusually strong team this year and the Tigers will have to step lively to keep ahead of the Doughboys. No less than three of the five are former West Pointers, while the remainder are tried and true veterans of the court. Included in this trio of former Pointers are McQuarrie and Smy-the, two All-American football players, who are equally proficient on the gym floor. George Smythe, Army quarter who dealt so much misery to Auburn when the Tiger griddiers invaded the North, will be seen at forward. NHe is said to be a whiz at the cage game, and certain it is that he will show plenty of speed if nothing else. McQuarrie, the other All-American gridiron star, is said to be pure, unadulterated arsenic on the floor. This all-around, athlete plays either center or guard and is equally proficient at both departments. Among the members of the past year's West Point class is a young man who is held by many authorities to be one of the greatest cage-men ever to leave the Academy. He is Dabezies, who plays center, and who has a deadly eye on the basket. Other members of the Infantry aggregation include FVanz and Kgelstrom, who also shine on the gridiron; and Nehf, Pearson, Buck and Dwyer. In the opening game of the season the infantrymen took in tow the Lee County Athletes by a score of 40 to 25. While the losers were not a college team, they had a combination not to be sneezed at, including the three James boys, Murray Hoffman, •Knight, Vickery and others. If the Soldiers could do that well in the opening game with little or no practice, it is easy to be seen that Auburn has plenty of work in store for them. That Benning will bring down a well coached bunch is evident from the fact that their mentor is Joe McKenna, former Notre Dame star and captain of the team in 1916. If the Blues have been able to absorb any of that Notre Dame system, then all hands had better watch out for trouble. - • - • * - THE PLAINSMAN STATE BANKERS TO HOLD MEETING HERE A special called meeting of state Bankers will be held in Auburn January 23.

AUBURN CAGEMEN DROP PAIR TO GREENIES (Continued from Page 5) THE NEW COLLEGE CAFE One of the most pleasing sights to greet those coming back to Auburn from the holidays was the new College Cafe which was opened for business last Saturday, being operated by Mr. F. A. Rogers, an Alumnus of Auburn. He is conducting the place on the basis of high quality and cleanliness, and if the present be used as a barometer for the future the College Cafe will be synonymous for quality and cleanliness of the highest type obtainable. As an Alumnus of Auburn, Mr. Rogers is extending a most cordial invitation for all Auburn students to come around, and make themselves thoroughly at home. Mr. Rogers has thoroughly renovated the place so that it could hardly be recognized.- He has arranged it so as to be especially desirable for all banquets which can be held in absolute privacy. This feature has long been needed by Auburn and we congratulate Mr. Rogers on the plan. tion crept up the floor often enough to ring up ten more. Peggy Flour-noy, of gridiron fame, also managed io ring up five baskets. Again Bill McKinney was the shining light for the Tigers. The Tulane five man defense meant nothing at all to this young man, eight field goals and two foul* being the sum total of his evening's efforts. Hall played a good game at center, and dropped the ball through the ring five times. Summary—First Game: TULANE (33) AUBURN (18) Lind (3) F. W. McKinney (4) Hennican (5) --F Evans (1) Webb F. B.

He being anxious to return to Auburn after a visit to the North Carolina foot hills, cranked up his flivver and was off. Everything was O. K. until he reached the city of La- Grange, where he was met by a special committee from the city council requesting that he remain over as a guest of that City. Perhaps it was his determination to make the three hundred or more miles in one day that led to his speed but he must have failed to notice the signs along the newly built pavement in LaGrange, therefore this special committee took it upon themselves to inform Prof. Roe of their advice. It is rumored that the city is much pleased with the generous donation made by Prof. Roc during his stop-over. Said the violin to the harp: "You're nothingvbut a big lyre."

Rogers ®ftg (flollggg (ftafr S Published in the interest of Electrical Development by an Institution that will be helped by what' ever helps the Industry. —and even electrical engineers are needed in the electrical industry Nowadays the electrical industry needs so many types of men that it may be well to point out it still needs engineers, good engineers— but with a difference. Vision, initiative, technical skill are needed qualities, now as always. But here's another. Can you work on the team? Will you be able to back up the other members in the manufacturing and commercial ends of the business? The engineer today should be no recluse in a laboratory. He can make his work more effective once he sees how it relates to the work of men around him. In your studies and college activities, you have the chance now to develop this point of view. In the broader activities of the electrical industry, you may have the chance later on to carry it further.
