Fine Season Finished
By Local Rifle Team
Auburn's rifle team, coached by Lt.
H. W. Ehrgott, completed its 1934-
35 season last week when the last
stage of the Inter-Collegiate match for
the National Championship was fired.
According to Lieutenant Ehrgott,
the results of this competition will
not be known until about May 1, but
it is expected that Auburn will stand
in about tenth place when the final
standings are announced. Only the
ranking teams in each corp area are
entered in the national match. Also
finished last week were the finals of
the Corp Area competition.
Out of a total of 52 postal matches
fired during the season with teams
- throughout the country, Auburn won
37 by an average of 156 points and
lost nine by an average of 19 points.
No scores have been received for the
other matches.
During the season, and for the first
time in the history of the rifle team,
eight shoulder-to-shoulder matches
were fired With Ga. Tech, Georgia,
Alabama, and Louisiana State Uni­versity,
all of which were won by the
Auburn team.
Keen rivalry existed between Au­burn
and Georgia Tech during the
competitions, with Auburn winning
from them in both the shoulder-to-shoulder
contests and the Corps Area
competition by slight margins of from
three to five points. But in the final
postal matches fired between the two
schools last week, Tech defeated Au­burn
by a margin of 16 points out of
4,000. The teams met at two other
times last season in the Heart Trophy
and National Inter-Collegiate compe­titions.
The freshman team also has a suc­cessful
season, winning from nine of
the foremost military colleges in the
country and losing by close margins
to Lanier High School and Culver
Military Academy. The freshmen also
fired in the varsity matches.

Miss Julia Lamar Chosen To Lead
Grand March At Interfrat Council
. Dance; Plans For Affair Are Laid
Plans for the Interfraternity Council Ball, to be given in the Alumni
Gymnasium Friday night, April 19, are nearing completion, according
to Howard Morris, president of the group. »
The dance, to get under way at 9 o'clock, will last until 1 o'clock and
will include two council lead-outs and three no-breaks, with a Grand
March to be led by Miss Julia Lamar, of Florida State Woman's College,
Tallahassee, Fla., escorted by Howard Morris. The Auburn Knights
will furnish music for the affair.
Bid cards are now ready and can be obtained at the Tiger Drug Co.,
and at all the fraternity houses. They will be taken up at noon Mon­day,
April 8.
At its last meeting, the Interfraternity Council voted to make the
dance a sport affair, which marks the first time in several years that the
dance has not been formal. It was also decided at the meeting that the
two council members from each fraternity along with eight other mem­bers
of the fraternity will be the maximum number of men to attend the
dance from each chapter. Through this rule it is planned that approxi­mately
220 fraternity men will be in attendance at the dance.
Decoration of the dance hall is being handled by L. P. Wood, and bids
for the decorations are now being received. It is planned that the hall
be decorated along a sports scheme with a display of all campus frater­nity
pennants.
C. W. Walter is in charge of the music for the affair, with Jack Tabor
as director of arrangements.
The Interfraternity Ball each year is considered to be one of the
social high lights of the season.

TRINITY CHOIR TO
BE HEARD SUNDAY
NIGHT IN CONCERT
Mrs. H. V. Carson Will Direct
Group Be Presented In Con­cert
At Presbyterian Church
The Trinity Presbyterian Choir, un­der
the direction of Mrs. H. V. Car­son,
will be heard in a sacred concert
in the Auburn Presbyterian Church
on Sunday evening at 7:30. The
Choir will present "The Seven Last
Words of Christ" by DuBois. " 'Tis
Midnight and on Olive's Brow," will
be used for the processional, and Jos­eph
Petranka, violinist, will play
"Hymn to St. Cecelia," by Gounod, for
the Offertory.
This lenten cantata by the French
composer, Theodore DuBois, was writ­ten
and produced on Good Friday,
1867 while the composer was Maitre
de Chapelle of Ste. Clotilde, Paris. Du­Bois
wrote operas and compositions
for piano, organ and violin. His fame
rests on his church music, masses and
cantatas and he excelled in the latter.
He studied at Rheims and in 1861 won
the Grand Prix de Rome. "Les Sept
Paroles du Christ" is considered one
of the most beautiful of sacred can­tatas
and is used each season by choirs
both in the old country and in Ameri­ca.
The beauty and solemnity of the
words which are sung as solo, are sup­ported
by the very dramatic shouts
and cries of the crowd which are
heard from the mixed chorus voices.
The Trinity Choir has been organ­ized
for four years with Mrs. H. V.
Carson as director and Mrs. J. H.
Walker organist, and has appeared in
sacred and secular concerts in Mont­gomery
and several cities of Alabama.
This Lenten program will be presented
in Montgomery April 14, in Birming­ham
April 19, and in Prattville April
21. The personnel of the Choir is as
follows: sopranos, Mrs. H. V. Carson,
Mrs. J. T. Alley, Mrs. J. B. Noble,
Mrs. Bernie Acton, Mrs. June Pierce,
Mrs. J. A. Sutter, Miss Eleanor Hoop­er;

CO-ED GOVERNING
BODY ELECTED AT
MEET WEDNESDAY
Mary Jim Enloe Chosen Pres­ident
Of Women's Student
Council At Open Session
Election of officers of the Women's
Student Council was held Wednesday
in an open meeting of the Women's
Student Government Association.
Mary Jim Enloe, Langdale, was
elected president of the Council, and
Senior Representative. Miss Enloe has
been a member of the Council during
the past year, and has been active in
sorority and campus activities in gen­eral.
Albina Pearce, Millstead, was
chosen as vice-president of the Coun­cil.
She has also been on the group
during the past year, and is a promi­nent
campus leader.
Other members of the Council chos
en Wednesday include Florence Hodg­es,
Langdale, as house president of
Smith Hall; Helen Tigner, Columbus,
as junior representative and secretary
of the body; Jane Eaton, Auburn,
town representative; and Ester Weeks,
Fort Benning, sophomore representa­tive
and treasurer. A freshman mem­ber
will be chosen early next fall, it
was announced.
The Women's Student Council is the
governing body of the Women's Stu­dent
Government Association, serving
in disciplinary and general executive
capacities. Retiring members of the
group are Lucy Meadows, president:
Velma Patterson, Emma Bennett Sel­lers,
Mary Haygood, and Mildred
Wadkins.
After having held the world cham­pion
St. Louis Cardinals to a 5-1 score
at Cramton Bowl in Montgomery yes­terday,
the Auburn Tigers will open
a two day stand against the Univer­sity
of Georgia at Drake Field this
afternoon. The opening game, start­ing
at 3 P. M., will probably find
either Muggs Erwin or Joe Bob Mitch­ell
on the mound for the Plainsmen.
Saturday's game will also start at 3
P. M.
Today's game will be the start of
Auburn's pennant race for the South­eastern
Conference Championship.
Having already shown considerable
strength against the Troy State
Teachers College and the St. Louis
Cardinals, ihe Plainsmen are regard­ed
as potential winners of the crown.
The Bulldogs are also championship
aspirants and should provide plenty
of competition for the Tigers. Coach
Catfish Smith has a veteran club, in­cluding
a seasoned hurler in Nichols,
who is expected to be a big factor in
this season's race.
Coach Morgan is likely to have three
newcomers in today's tilt with the
Bulldogs. The three new faces will
probably be Joe Stewart at third, Lou­is
Mathews at second, and Collins
Fenton behind the plate. These three
performed creditably against the Car­dinals
and should make the team
slightly stronger than it was against
Troy.

Graduate From Here
Horticulture Dept.
Gets New Professor
Mr. E. W. McElwee has been ap­pointed
as assistant professor in the
Department of Horticulture, accord­ing
to information received from the
Executive Secretary's office.
McElwee succeeds Prof. John W.
Hyde, who recently resigned his po­sition
with the college.
A native of Mississippi, McElwee
received a Bachelor of Science degree
from Mississippi State College in 1930.
He later attended Auburn and holds
increased attendance at a minimum the Master of Science degree from this
cost to the people of the State. institution.
With four sons holding degrees
from Auburn, W. O. Johnson, a farm­er
of the Fish Pond community in
Coosa County, expects his fifth son
to graduate at this institution at the
commencement on May 27 of this
year.
His oldest son, Rowe, graduated in
1927, and is now principal of a high

at Washington; Thomas graduated in
1933 and is a junior engineer with the
War Department; Oel graduated in
1934 and is a finance officer with the

who is to graduate this year, is tak­ing
chemical engineering. Herman
drew plans for several buildings at
Maxwell Field, Montgomery, and, he
also designed the chair which the
President uses at Arlington.
Two younger sons of Mr. Johnson
are expecting to attend Auburn. A
daughter who is now married, was a
summer session student here.
All records were smashed yesterday
when 796 students voted in the elec­tion
of 18 representatives to the Exec­utive
Cabinet in a campus-wide elec­tion.
The previous record number of
votes to be cast in an election of Cab­inet
members was established last
year when 677 students voted.
The election was featured by several
heated contests within the various
schools.
The bitterest fight for Cabinet
berths was waged among the four stu­dents
who sought the two senior po­sitions
from the School of Engineer­ing.
Gordon McKinney and Bill Mc-
Tyeire emerged victorious in the con­test,
the former gathering 175 votes
with McTyeire running him a close
second with 172. The other two can­didates,
Lee Ross Ellenburg and Billy
Thomas, tallied 91 and 157 votes re­spectively.
Vernie Holloway walked
away with the race for junior repre­sentative
from the same school in de­feating
T. N. Powell, while Jarvis
Brown will assume the position as
sophomore representative from the
Engineering School. He was unop­posed.

\To The New Cabinet
Eighteen students were selected to Exe­cutive
Cabinet positions in a campus-wide
election yesterday. The student body
placed a great amount of responsibility on
the • shoulders of these eighteen students
who are supposed to crack the whip over
student government at Auburn next year.
The Plainsman urges each of the students
chosen to the Cabinet to be cognizant of
the duties which they will be expected to
discharge. Let them not be content now
that they have been elevated to the offices
which they sought. The election to the Cab­inet
should not be considered as the goal
of these students. The ultimate goal should
be the placing of the governing body on the
high pedestal which will be theirs when the
group performs its proper functions. /
The student body knows that student gov­ernment
at Auburn has suffered from rid­icule
and non-support of various campus
groups ever since the Executfve Cabinet was
set up. It is the new Cabinet's duty to
put student government on its feet, to make
it a real and respected power on the campus,
and to guide the destinies of student organ­izations
toward the desired goal.
It is to be hoped that next year will
mark the revival of sincere interest in the
Executive Cabinet. The success of student
government during the ensuing year will
be determined in a large measure by the
officers who will be selected to head the
body and by the combined efforts of the
entire group to accomplish that which other
Cabinets have neglected—a smooth work­ing,
efficient, and powerful government or­ganization.
Those new Cabinet members who have
the good of Auburn at heart are fortunate
in that many opportunities for service to
the student body will be theirs next year.
Plans for the improvement, of student gov­ernment
organizations have been laid this
year. These plans should be studied by
the new Cabinet with the idea of taking the
best parts of each and incorporating them
into a logical proposal to be submitted to
the student body next fall. It will be only
after several changes in the Cabinet set­up,
and then only, that student government
will fulfill its proper functions on the Au­burn
campus.
screen is especially commendable. Until
several Auburn students informed us dif­ferently
we thought that there was noth­ing
original nor unusual in nude women.
We had labored under the impression that
they look the same as they did a thousand
years ago. But the sophisticated Auburn
man has taught us that vulgar displays of
female flesh are of the very best entertain­ment.
We suppose that this group of wise-crackers
must have their say. Why not
hold a weekly meeting in Langdon Hall
where everybody can wisecrack, make cat­calls,
give horse laughs, and . tell dirty
jokes. The meeting should last long enough
for all of these cultured traits to be amply
expressed. Such an arrangement might al­low
us to regain our illusions as to the real
worth of picture shows and would certainly
meet the approval of the movie-goers, r
Theatre Entertainers
The wisecracker we have with us always.
And particularly prominent is the picture
show wisecracker. He is there for every
picture. And five minutes can not elapse
without some subtle observation from our
wit. This adds charm to the program.
But wisecracking is not the only attrac­tive
practice maintained by the Auburn stu­dent
body in the local theatre. Boisterous
laughter, in a variety of tones, echoes and
re-echoes throughout the amusement hall.
We were singularly impressed by the con­duct
of one of our more cultured co-eds at
a recent vaudeville presentation. She did
everything but' stand on her head each
time the comedian told a joke, thus giving
expression to an innate refinement of no
mean order. And memories of those stu­dents
who burst forth with ear-splitting
laughter during the tense and dramatic
scenes in movies shown here will linger as
the most pleasant of our college career.
Picture shows have always satisfied our
inborn love for the sentimental in a most
excellent fashion and diverted our minds
from cynical paths in an extremely effective
manner. However, when we have such a
large group of local artists who can supply
us with the same entertainment through its
boorish howls and outpourings of savage
minds we need not attend the movies.
And the manner in which the student
body expresses its sex instincts when a half-naked
female makes her appearance on the
Why Not A Sales Tax?
Administration after administration, the
same old cry of "we've got to have more rev­enue"
arises with considerable volume from
the individual groups whose demands,
strangely enough, increase with every pass­ing
year. And legislators wonder, not
without cause, why they ever became legis­lators
at all.
With a tax on land that is too high at the
present time, with every other possible
source of income exhausted, the only solu­tion
of the present financial dilemma of
Alabama seems to be a sales tax. Despite
the fact that many members of the 1935
Legislature are pledged to vote against such
a measure, there seems to be a rising senti­ment
for such a revenue-producing bill and
the passage of a sales tax seems more than
likely at the present time.
Opposition to the sales tax arises prin­cipally
from merchants, of course. Those
merchants who are in the central portions
of the state object purely on account of the
amount of bookkeeping that a sales tax
would involve, while those on the borders
object, rightfully enough, on the basis of
neighboring states pulling away their own
trade.
The first objection to the sales tax, from
the centrally-located merchants, can be dis­counted
by asserting that the increased
amount of salaries and wages paid by the
state would bring about a rise in sales that
would more than pay for the extra trouble
of keeping books. The second, can be also
partially discounted for the inherent lazi­ness
of most people would prevent them
from crossing the borders of another state
just to save a few cents. It would only be
on cigarettes and like articles that there
would be any great transference of real in­come
to the merchants of another state.
It would also seem that a sales tax is
necessary if Auburn and the other educa­tional
units of the state are to operate at
their maximum efficiency. However, on
the basis of past experience it is doubtful
if the citizens of Alabama care much wheth­er
Auburn, Alabama and other higher in­stitutions
of learning operate at all. Edu­cation
or anything else is a great thing,
until one has to begin paying for it out of
his own pocket.
JOCULARITIES

Protect Our Maidens
Wednesday the co-eds elected a Women's
Student Council for next year. Insofar as
we are able to observe, this group repre­sents
a rather diversified type of young
woman. Some of them have been instru­mental
in fostering worthy activities here
this year, and all have been valuable and
prominent membei-s of the student body. To
them we tender our profound sympathy.
While we realize that the Council has
very little to do with the actual modifica­tion
or changing of rules, we once more
suggest that the group most directly in­volved,
the dormitory inmates, get together
and do something to change the rules, which
had their origin in the Dark Ages.
Yes, we do not envy the new Council their
jobs. To enforce a set of rules in which no
intelligent young woman could possibly be­lieve,
is a very unenviable task. We hope
they make "good" Council members, what­ever
that might mean.

* * * * SHADES OF ANDY VOLSTEAD! Ala­bama
legislators are talking about a
referendum on beer before summer
rolls around, the idea being that when the
sun beats down, people would drink beer—
enough beer to get the state partially out of
its financial hole.
Somehow we can't see Alabamians drink­ing
much beer. Georgians don't, Mississip-pians
don't, and Floridians don't. And
somehow we don't think Alabamians would
either. Beer is a beverage that belongs to
a lackadaisical civilization. Here in Ala­bama
we have not yet reached a state of
civilization that permits our getting tight
slowly and gentlemanly. We have to get
loopey in thirty minutes or not at all. And
it requires a lot of beer to get loopey, and
thirty minutes, ooh!
Beside the sentimental aspects of the case,
there are the more material considerations
to be looked into. In the first place, such a
referendum would cost the state $38,000—
which is a lot of money. And second, would
such a measure pass? It didn't pass when
combined with a liquor referendum. Is
there any assurance that it would pass by
itself? We think not.
There are too many editors in Alabama,
there are too many country preachers who
go into very proper hysterics when modi­fication
or "beer" is mentioned. We can
rest assured that in the event" the legislature
were to pass beer referendum legislation a
hue and cry would arise far and wide that
the wet newspapers were just after some
advertising, that the youth of our fair
state stood danger of contamination by the
product of the bad old Milwaukee brewers,
and that Alabama was straight down the
road to hell in case beer were legalized.
No, everything considered, a beer refer­endum
would seem to be most inadvisable
at this time. We must keep Alabama pure
and untrammeled, you know.

There was once a day when education of
the masses was hailed as the supreme cure
of mankind's many ills, economic and other­wise.
But that rosy day is gone, and a
skepticism concerning education in general
has assailed many of the most mature
thinkers of the United States.
It has been said that when you educate
•a man you bring about his personal happi­ness;
the educated man was the final goal
and attainment of organized society. While
the world is not yet ready to sneer with
the cynicists who say that education makes
fools more foolish, by giving them a falsi­fied
idea of their own erudition, it is be­ginning
to realize that education can often
lead to a dissatisfaction that cannot be ob­literated
by the limited means that many
poverty-stricken persons have available.
Here at Auburn can be seen one of the
supreme examples of the dubious values of
mass education. We have hundreds of stu­dents
here who can never make good engin­eers,
or business men, or horse doctors, or
good anythings that required brains, and
yet professors are obliged to struggle
through classes with these same clods, and
those students who apparently have some
degree of intelligence are held back because
classroom standards have to be brought
down to the level of these simple souls.
While most of us who profess to be at
least passably intelligent can at least par­tially
agree to this idea, there is of course
the point of view of the stupid clods to be
considered. After all have they not been
told that a college education will assure
them of a fair job upon graduation, that to
know something about literature and cal­culus
and Spanish is very desirable to cul­ture
in general, and that in short, they will
be valued members ofsociety when they get
their B.S. degree in May? And yet how
few of this year's graduates ever think or
worry at all about where the world or us is
going? How many of them read and part
of the newspapers except the sports page
and the comics? How many of them go to
see any kind of movies except the musical
comedies, and Gable-Crawford romances?
How many of them read anything beyond
pulp magazines of the cheapest order? You
fill in the answers.

WITHOUT THE PALE
CO-EDS AT DUKE BOYCOTT CHRON­ICLE
AND ADVERTISING
INCREASES
Editor Johnny Moorehead, of the Duke
Chronicle, has a problem of great ramifica­tions
on his hands.
Duke co-eds are up in arms over a story
concerning the election of the Duke May
Queen and her Court which was recently
carried in the Chronicle. The women al­lowed
as how it misrepresented the real
facts concerning the selection of the Queen.
And so the co-eds, by a 540 to 140 vote,
pledged themselves to boycott the March 22
issue of the paper. Leaders in the move
formed a parade which included number of
women students in a demonstration against
the Duke publication. A group of women
stormed the Chronicle offices. Others
marched across the campus shouting "Hal­lelujah,
Hallelujah, We Don't Want The
Chronicle" and beating tin pans, etc.
The co-ed group informed Chronicle ad­vertisers
that their ads would not be read
and that there was no need for them to print
ads designed to attract co-ed customers.
The whole affair seems to be quite amus­ing
with the result that all Chronicle ad­vertising
records for the 31 years of its
history were broken in the "Boycott Is­sue,"
which carried 550 column inches of
advertising.
Business Manager Moss, of the Plains­man
is fervently praying that local women
politicians will be as patriotic as those of
Duke University—"We want a co-ed boy­cott
of The Plainsman" shouted Moss after
reading an account'.of the Duke situation.

BIRMINGHAM PASTOR STRESSES
VALUE OF FRIENDS IN
MERCER TALK
Speaking before the faculty and students
of Mercer University at chapel hour re­cently,
Dr. Frank MacDonald, pastor of
the Woodlawn Baptist Church, Birmingham,
warned his audience that the world will take
notice of one through the friendships he
forms.
"What would a fellow do without his
friends?" he querried after having recount­ed
a number of instances in his life in which
friendship had helped him to success or
happiness.
He scored the person who considers him­self
a self-made man, saying that this
type of person never stops to consider the
number of people who have made his way
easier for him through friendships that he
had formed on the way up the ladder.
And there is a lot of wisdom in Dr. Mac-
Donald's words.

KINGFISH REFUSES TO SHARE COST
OF 'PHONE CALL FROM
'BAMA FRAT
Evidently Huey Long doesn't intend for
his Share-the-Wealth campaign to include
Sharing-the-Cost of telephone messages con­cerning
his plan.
Recently a group of S. A. E.'s at the Uni­versity
of Alabama decided to phone
"Hooey" in Washington to get him to
straighten out an argument about the mer­its
and demerits of his ideas. This method
decided upon, Duke Sudbury, manager of
the Alabama Cavaliers, contacted the King-fish's
secretary in the nation's capitol, but
Huey's assistant refused to call the Senator
to the telephone when asked if the Louisiana
boss would pay for the call.
Questioned by the secretary as to the
reasons for asking Long to pay the toll,
Sudbury retorted, "Why, we' thought that
if Huey believed in Sharing-the-Wealth, he
wouldn't mind Sharing-the-Cost."

GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY
STUDENTS PLAN WAR STRIKE
Representatives of six student organiza­tions
at George Washington University re­cently
met to formulate plans for a "strike

movement.
The feasibility of a strike for night school
students to be held the same day was also
discussed.

V. M. I.-WASHINGTON AND LEE
GRID TEAMS MEET IN SPRING
PRACTICE GAME
All precedent was broken recently when
the V. M. I. and Washington and Lee foot­ball
teams met in practice scrimmages. The
two campuses adjoin each other in Lexing­ton,
Va. No score was kept, and no yard­age
was marked. Each team was given the
ball for half the time.
There is a tremendous rivalry between the
two schools, and the unusual spring train­ing
game adds one more event to the list
of athletic meetings of these rival colleges.
EDITOR'S NOTE: The opinions expressed in
this column are not necessarily the editorial opin­ions
of this paper. It is a coiumn of personal
comment, and is not to be read as an expression
of our editorial policy.
HISTORY . . . . The R. O. T. C. in­structors
recent lectures on the va­rious
wars engaged in by these
United States do not exactly agree, fact for
fact, with those glorious accounts of these
same wars which are found in all grammar
and high school textbooks. They even ex­ceed
our more advanced college textbooks
in stripping the fiction and tinsel from our
military history. This seems a rather
strange policy for the War Department, of
all the departments in the college, to pur­sue.
According to the present crop of critics
of R. O. T. C. instruction in colleges, it is
the purpose of the instructors to inculcate
us with the military mind, imbue us with a
false pride in our country's glorious his­tory,
and clothe all past operations of our
military forces in a cloak of heroism and
patriotic sacrifice. If this is the purpose
of our instructors, they have faijed mis­erably.
Their straightforward accounts of
our various military campaigns and their
rather caustic comment on certain phases
of them that could by no means be called
heroic, together with their accounts of the
political chicanery that has characterized
most of our wars have just been another
means of aiding us in removing the halo
that our high-school "larn'in" caused us to
place upon every detail of our country's
past.
* * * *
"WAR" . . . . Said that grizzled old vet­eran
of the Civil War, General Sherman,
"is hell." Maybe he was right and then
maybe he wasn't, but if he was by any
chance refering to War drill yesterday he
certainly was right. We think, and seri­ously,
that some of the millions of dollars
that the government is putting into circu­lation
should be used to buy cotton uniforms
for the cadets who are going through fire
for their beloved country. It really seems
that some other sort of uniform could be
obtained that would be at least slightly
comfortable. But to wear the same uni­form
winter and summer is just too much.
We doubt if even Satan himself wears a
wool shirt and wool pants. - .
* * * *
TENNIS . . . . We congratulate the ten­nis
team (who although they lost their first
game of this season to Mississippi State,
have displayed a spirit and a tenacity of
purpose that is the true Auburn Spirit.
Although they are receiving no recognition
from the athletic department, they are
striving against rather discouraging odds
to bring tennis to its rightful important
position among sports.
* * * *
BROKEN HEARTS . . . A report from
Sniff and Snoop, our campus dirt diggers,
informs us that Drake field is a vale of sor­row
as evidenced by the tears shed by the
track team. The reason being that Coach
Hutsell has laid down the law to them and
has practically obliterated the "Courting"
time. Among those whose true love is about
to become smoke in their eyes—at least
until after the track season—are: Bill
Crane, local weight man who has estab­lished
an all time love record of five years
with Mildred Wadkins, society editor; Gait,
after running the last quarter mile with
his tongue hanging out, limits his actions
in the Western section of town to the day­light
hours; Ward Wright still faithful to
his red-headed Rosalie says that in the fu­ture
his running around will be limited to
the track; Hugh Rodgers and Bennie Vail
hanging over a table at Unk's gazing at
Jessica Boles and Elizabeth Mims; Hamp
Williams remains wild and wooly—at least
he still prefers the Indian; the persistent
Bobby Blake still dating Hammond's girl;
Weaver and Kilgore still vieing for the fa­vor
of Anne Whatley; quoting Ralph Tolve,
shot-put and flash man, "She's crazy about
me" and his speaking of Sarah Smith.
SEEN ABOUT . . . . Bobby Lanier at
Benson's doping Sue Morton . . . . As usual
Clyde Kent and Danny Gaillard at the
Wednesday night show . ^. . Fred Black and
Bill McTyeire plotting political campaigns
against the white folks . . . . Mildred Wad­kins
chasing all over the campus Tuesday
to pin that red Cardinal Key ribbon on
Janie Slack—congratulations Janie
Wakefield exhibiting her proclivity by dat­ing
(again) fullback Harry Whitten.
* * * * .
TAG ENDS . . . . His nomination for the
most important person in any gathering—
Jeremiah (A.) Juttingham with his little
notebook and pencil trying desperately to
get material for a column. 'Tis rumored
that he had intentions of writing an ex­position
of the many junior under-cover
political rings—that is until he talked, or
rather he was talked to by a certain junior.
Although painful, the lessons learned
during a depression are useful.

By John Cameron
With the big righthander, Bud Tin­ning,
on the mound, the world cham­pion
St. Louis Cardinals scored a 5-1
victory over the Auburn Tigers before
two thousand fans yesterday at Cram-ton
Bowl in Montgomery.
Joel Eaves and John Tipper man­aged
to check the Red Bird sluggers
and limited the world champions to
eight hits. Tinning breezed through
the game with ease, limiting the
Plainsmen to four bingles. Auburn's
play on the field was almost flawless,
except for a misjudged bounder by
Mathews. Joe Stewart handled third
in a nice fashion and made one sensa­tional
stop by going into the dirt after
one of Pepper Martin's swats. Scar­borough
did some fancy work out in
center, hauling down several blows
that looked like certain hits.
The Tigers were fairly weak with
the willow, but that was to be ex­pected
with one of the National
League's outstanding pitchers facing
them. Even if the majority of Tiger
batsmen couldn't hit major league
hurling, Mathews found Tinning easy
to get at. In four times up he
lammed out two safeties and scored
the only Auburn run.
The Tigers opened the first inning
by scoring their only run of the game.
A high fly into right field, aided by
a wild throw, enabled Mathews to
romp home.
In the second frame the Cardinals
tied up the score, and then in the third
added three more runs to put the game
on ice. Eaves, hurling the first three
innings, was responsible for four Car­dinal
runs.
Tipper fared better than his team­mate.
He hurled the remainder of
the game and allowed one run in the
fourth, that being due to wildness on
the part of the Tiger hurler.

TIGER GROWLS
B y O B S E R V E R;
With tennis talk in the air, and interest in the sport definitely on the
upgrade, a few predictions concerning the forthcoming Interfrat competition
might not be amiss at this time. Of all the sports in which tournaments are
sponsored by the Council tennis is the one game where some predictions from
the year before can be made, as only two men perform and their playing is
usually consistent from year to year. We pick the four semi-finalists in the
tennis tournament, without trying to be arbitrary or trying to discourage
any other teams, Kappa Alpha, Sigma Nu, Delta Sigma Phi, and Sigma
Alpha Epsilon.
K. A. drew an unusually easy di­vision.
Encountering Sigma PHn the
first round, who will probably be rep­resented
by Fog Davidson, Chris Guil­ford
or Jap Parrish, K. A.'s two rack-et-
wielders, Doc Stanley and Bevo
Biggin should have little trouble in
advancing to the second round. Al­pha
Psi furnishes the opposition at
this point, and while Alvin Pass and
Andrew McCreary are fairly capable
tennis players, are not quite the equal
of Biggin and Stanley. In the quar­ter-
finals, K. A.'s team will meet Al­pha
Gamma Rho, Sigma Chi or T. U.
O. Unless some unexpected talent has
blossomed forth in the Sigma Chi
and T. U. O. lodges, Alpha Gamma
Rho should be quarter-finalists, op­posing
K. A.
* * *
In the next bracket, Sigma Nu dom­inates
things rather completely. Cam
and Glenn Mitchell, winners two years
ago, and one of the outstanding doub­les
combinations ever attending school
here, should have no great difficulty
in reaching the semi-finals, and pos­sibly
the finals. Meeting Pi Kappa
Phi in the second round, the Sigma
Nu team engages its strongest oppo­sition
as James Tyson and Rudy Mar­tin
are both capable tennis players,
and are formidable on several counts.
If this net combination is upset, Sig­ma
Nu has easy sailing as A. T. O.,
A. L. T. or Beta Kappa look very
strong. Copeland, A. T. O., is prob­ably
the outstanding player in any of
these three frats but without a very
able partner prospects down A. T. O.
way are gloomy. Beta Kappa has also
made pretty good showings on previ­ous
occasions but look rather weak at
this time.
Delta Sigma Phi, with 1934 cham­pions,
George Poole and Louis Busen-leiner
back, has a semi-finalist posi­tion
practically sewed up. Meeting
the winner of the Pi K. A.-S. P. E. vs.
T. K. N. match, Delta Sigma Phi
should have little difficulty in trim­ming
any of them. Pi K. A. has a
fairly strong team in Sonny Hall and
Neil Stevens and if any opposition is
met by Delta Sigma Phi, it will come
from this source. All of which as­sumes
that Delta Sigma Phi will beat
either Phi Kappa Tau, or Theta Chi,
a more than likely prognostication,
although Jack Cardwell, a player of
undoubted merit, will play for the lat­ter
group.
* * *
The lower bracket offers more op­portunities
for upsets and close tennis
than do any of the rest. S. A. E., S.
P. E., Kappa Sigma, Phi Delta Theta,
and Lambda Chi Alpha are all
bunched together in this bracket and
the winner at present is almost a toss-up.
However, on the basis of pre­vious
performances by Joe Parker and
the potentialities of Carl Warren and
Al Weissinger we select S. A. E. as
the likely winner of this bracket. S.
A. E. meets the winner of the S. P. E.-
Lambda Chi affair, a very interesting
match in itself, and then encounters
the winner of the Kappa Sigma Phi
contest, a set-up that has plenty of
room for upsets.
* * *
We realize that such predictions are
presumptive, and in a sense unfair.

GOLF TOURNEY TO
BE SPONSORED BY
LOCAL GOLF CLUB
Business Men's Matches Will
Begin Today; Students May
Enter Tourney Says Dumas
INTERFRAT BASEBALL, TENNIS
CONTESTS WILL GET UNDERWAY
A spring golf tournament, begin­ning
today at noon, was announced
at a supper of the club last Friday
night.
The supper was the result of a golf
tournament between two local teams.
An agreement was made before the
tournament began that the losers
would give the winners a supper. The
winning team was captained by Dr.
J. L. Seal and the losing team was
captained by Dr. B. F. Thomas.
For this spring golf tournament,
three flights have been scheduled, in­cluding
a student flight. Forty-eight
men are already scheduled to play in
this second tournament.
Prizes will be given the winners and
runners-up, according to Dr. Thomas
and much work has been done on the
course to get it in good shape. In or­der
to pay for these expenses, a small
entrance fee will be charged both club
members and students.
In the near future, the club is plan­ning
an invitation tournament. Local
winning teams will also accept invi­tations
to play elsewhere.
Students interested in entering the i
golf tournament which starts Friday
should report to Jimmie Dumas at
Wright's Drug Store.
Both Diamond Ball And Tennis Tournaments Will Be Run Off
Simultaneously; First Round Of Diamond Tourney Must
Be Played By April 10; First Round Tennis To End April 13
Competition in the Interfraternity
Council tennis and baseball tourna­ments
is to get underway immediately,
according to an announcement made
last night by Wallace Nelson, Chair­man
of the Interfrat Athletic Com­mittee.
The two tournaments will be
run off simultaneously and both will
terminate early in May.
There will be no eligibility rules in
the tennis tourney, but the same reg­ulations
applying in other sports will
be enforced in the baseball tourna­ment.
Standard baseballs for the lat­ter
tournament have come in at Gib­son's
and are on sale.
The first round of the baseball tour­ney
must be played by Wednesday,
April 10; the second round by April
20; the third round by April 27; the
semi-finals by April 30, and the finals
by May 2, according to Nelson.
Tennis matches scheduled for the
first round must be completed by April
13, the second round by April 20, the
third round by April 27, the semi­finals
by May 4 and the finals by May
7th.
Referees and umpires in the base­ball
games are left up to the mutual
selection of the fraternities involved.
Much interest is being manifest by
the various fraternities, particularly
in the baseball tournament. There
seems to be a definite lack of playing
fields, however, with the areas in front
of the Chemistry Building, the old
high school diamond back of the girl's
gym, and the small field back of the
Sigma Pi house the only fields avail­able
at the present time. Any field
that is of proper playing size and sat­isfactory
to both teams will be satis­factory,
said Nelson.

X was working way late at the
office one night and ran out of cigarettes.
When Jim the watchman came through
I tackled him for a smoke.
"Sure," says Jim, and he handed
over a pack of Chesterfields. "Go ahead,
Mr. Kent, take three or four."
Jim said he'd smoked a lot of ciga­rettes
in his time, but he'd put Chester­field
up in front of any of 'em when
it came to taste.
. . . "and they ain't a bit strong
either," is the way Jim put it.
That was the first Chesterfield I
ever smoked. And I'm right there with
him, too, when he says it's a ding
good cigarette.

over William Bell. Helen Tigner was

13.
Although vote counters and watch­ers
had been requested not to divulge
the returns of the election practically
every student elected yesterday and
most of their supporters had learned
of the outcome of the contests early
last night. The result was that the
campus was thrown into a beehive of
political activity as line-ups were
formed for the purpose of electing
various newly-elects to Cabinet offices.
Several heated races are anticipated
in the elections which will be held
during the early part of next week.
President Bill Hughes has not definite­ly
set a date for the meeting of the
new Cabinet but he intimated that
the new representatives would be
called together within the next three
or four days.

The top leaves are undeveloped, acrid and biting.
The bottom leaves are grimy, tasteless and harsh.
I am made of only the fragrant, expensive center

I do not irritate your throat. I' m your best friend.
