Fencing Class Reported
Making Rapid Progress
Members of the newly created Au­burn
Fencing Club were commended
upon their rapid learning of the art
of swordsmanship at the regular meet­ing
of the club last night. James Da
vis and Bill Allison, instructors, feel
that progress is being made.
The tutors hope to organize several
sororities into teams and stage a fenc­ing
tournament before long. So far
only one sorority, Chi Omega, has en
tered, but plans are being made among
the other organizations. A loving cup
will be awarded the winning team in
the tournmaent.
Members of the Chi Omega team
are Ruth Jones, Marie Kelly, Eleanor
Lewis, and Gretchen Talley. Reports
are that some of these young ladies
are rapidly becoming expert swords­man.
•
Fencing, perhaps the most grace­ful
art of self defense, dates -back
to the days of the mythical King
Arthur. At that time it was known
as jousting and it was necessary to
use both hands on the sword or
bludgeon in order to pierce the heavy
suits of armor of the opponents.
Strange as it seems, piracy on the
seas, was the cause of the making of
lighter swords, because buccaneers
were unable to use heavy armor at
sea. Duelling originated in Spain,
along with a still greater improve­ment
of swords. Later the French
developed the fine art of fencing
with rapier-like blades of steel and
fencing became a gentlemen's game.
It is from this background that col­lege
students have revived the art
and made it one of the most popular
collegiate sports.
Ag Fair
Time: Seven o'clock tonight.
Place: Ag Hill.
Scene: That good old Ag Fair.
Action! and plenty of it as this
affair gets . underway. The Ag
students have put out to make
this THE Ag fair, and indications
point to a big night for those at­tending.
Among the best events will be
the colored boxing match, in
which eight Negroes will engage
in a free for all. The surviving
"Joe Louis" will be given a cash
award, so plenty of leather should
be seen flying. A cock fight was
planned; the legality of this was
questionable and this stunt has
been discarded. A mock faculty
should get plenty of cheers (?)
and a greasy pole contest should
tend to make the fair a slick
show.
These events, which will be pre-ceeded
by a parade through town
at three, are only a sample of the
attractions to be staged tonight.
If you don't believe it, come* If
you do believe it, don't miss it. In
either case, be there and bring
your girl. Oh, she has a date?
Well, that's okay, bring your room
mate. What, he has a date, too?
Aw Nuts, come by yourself.
They'll be there together.

WALKER SPEAKS TO
ENGINEERING GROUP
Professor H. B. Walker, Of
University Of California,
Will Address A. S. C. E.
Professor H. B. Walker, of the
University of California, spoke to
the A. S. C. E. at its regular meeting
Tuesday night in Ramsay Hall. Pro­fessor
Walker is here this year doing
research work in drainage.
A large crowd of civil engineering
students were present to hear this
outstanding engineer. He gave an
interesting paper on highway survey
in the state of California. A move­ment
is one to have him speak on a
subject more in line with his. work at
a joint meeting of the A. S. M. E.,
A. I. E. E., and A. S. C. E. at a later
date.
Professor Walker graduated from
Iowa State College in 1910, and since
this time has gone to the top in the
engineering profession. He was a
professor in the Iowa State College
for four years. He left the college
to accept a position with the state
as drainage engineer and kept this
position for ten years. One year he
was a delegate to the World Engi­neering
Congress in Tokio. The of­ficials
of the California school gave
him leave from his duties as dean of
the agricultural engineering depart­ment
to enroll at Auburn.
The society heard a paper by Pro­fessor
Callan on "Coast and Geode­tic
Survey Control in the State of
Alabama." Professor Callan read
this paper at the fall meeting of the
national society of A. S. C. E. in Bir­mingham
last week. It was one of
the most interesting papers the so­ciety
has heard this year.
Vets Install Library;
Miss Emrick Librarian
A new veterinarian library has
been installed in the Vet building,
with Miss Bessie Emrick acting as
librarian. All veterinarian volumes
from the main library have been
moved to the new quarters.
This library was made possible by
donation of the private library of the
late Dr. C. A. Cary. Mrs. Cary
made a gift of the library to the col­lege.
Four departmental libraries
are now maintained on the campus,
the agricultural, chemical and archi­tectural
divisions being previously in
Wallace
Baton
Staff
Leaves
Rouge;
Arming
Town For
Plainsman
for Battle
Pandemonium reigned in the Plains-mam
office Thursday afternoon follow­ing
ouster proceedings instigated by
the staff against the editor, Doug Wal­lace.
When Wallace reported for work
immediately after lunch he found him­self
confronted by the Plainsman
Staff, assembled en masse, and was
refused admittance to the office. It
was reported from reliable sources
that the staff met secretly Wednesday
night and resolved unanimously that
they would have no more of the editor­ship
of Wallace.
Charges brought against the Plains­man
dictator (to quote the resolution
drawn up by the staff) were "an in­satiable
lust for power, an incurable
propensity for sophomoric wisecrack­ing,
an intolerable habit of browbeat­ing
the freshmen and the members of
the football squad."
"In view of these things," the reso­lution
continued, "it seems eminently
necessary for the well being of our
paper that the present editor relin­quish
his resignation without further
ado. We, the staff, are prepared to
go the limit in bringing about the re­moval
of Wallace."
Upon the appearance of Wallace be­fore
the door of the Plainsman Office
Thursday, a spokesman for the staff
read the Riot Act to the protesting
editor and handed him a copy of the
resolution. Other members of the staff
formed a formidable blockade before
the door.
The language used by the chagrined
Wallace is not printable, but it suffices
to say that he stomped off in high
dudgeon.
Late Thursday afternoon Wallace
was seen boarding a southbound train,
ostensibly for Baton Rouge. Two ru­mors
as to his plans persisted on the
campus today One insisted that the
dethroned editor had left to confer
with Long henchmen on the ways and
«
means of dictatorial preservation,
while the other was to the effect that
he had gone to a wet state to drink
off the shock of being booted out of
office.
As we go to press, the situation is
relatively quiet, and indications are
that no further violence need be an­ticipated
until Wallace returns from
his mysterious retreat.
Friday morning Governor Graves
told Plainsman authorities that he was
holding in readiness two companies of
the National Guard which would be
available in restoring order here
should further rioting occur next week.
THREE JUNIORS
ARE CHOSEN BY
SCARABS GROUP
Frank McCall, James Murphy
And Sam Gibbons Honored
By The Architecture Society
FALL ELECTION
Membership In Society Based
Upon Scholarship, Leader­ship,
Character, And Ability
Three juniors in the School of
Architecture and Allied Arts were
chosen by Scarabs, national architec­tural
fraternity, in the annual Fall
election. Frank McCall, Moultrie,
Ga.; James Murphy, Andalusia; and
Sam Gibbons, Jackson, Miss., were
the ones selected.
Membership in Scarabs is based
upon scholarship, leadership, char­acter,
and ability in Architectural
Design. The probability of future
success in the architectural field is
also a major factor of consideration,
Alan Jacobs was elected delegate
to the Scarab's annual convention
which is to be held at the University
of Kansas, November 28, 29, and 30.
Sketches from each temple of Scarab
will be exhibited at the convention
and awards will be made by a com­mittee
of prominent architects and
artists. Following the convention
the exhibit will go on a tour visiting
each temple, probably arriving in
Auburn about the middle of Febru­ary.
The sketches submitted will
include oil paintings, water colors,
pencil sketches, and various other
mediums.
Scarab was founded at the Univer­sity
of Illinois in 1909. Khufu Tem
pie was located in Auburn as the
thirteenth chapter of the fraternity.
Its purpose is to help those .entering
the field of architecture to obtain a
broader knowledge of it, and to aid
in forming a bond between members
of the profession.
Officers of Khufu Temple are
President, Alan Jacobs; vice-presi­dent,
William Wormelsdorf; secre­tary,
Franklin Woodruff; treasurer,
R. N. Hoar; sergeant-at-arms, Mar­ion
Thrasher.

Bible Anniversary Is
Observed By Librarian
The college library is posting ex­hibits
on the bulletin boards in com­memoration
of the four hundredth
anniversary of the first printing of«
the Bible in the English language.
New exhibits are received and post­ed
weekly.
Facsimiles of Wyclif's Bible and
the American Revised Version are
now to be seen. These and other
historic exhibitions may be checked
out from the library to be shown at
Sunday Schools and churches. His­toric
Bibles, books on the history of
the English Bible, and books on arch-ealogy,
may be checked out now by
the general reader.
October 4 to December 8 is the
period set aside to pay tribute to the
first printing of the Bible in English
in 1J535.
NOTICE !
There will be a meeting of the
Tau Kappa Alpha Fraternity on
Tuesday night at 8 o'clock in Room
301, Samford Hall. All members are
urged to be present as there is im­portant
business to be discussed).
Messrs. C. M. Gray and J. T. Hard-wick,
members of the State Y. M. C.
A. Association, will be in Auburn
November fifth and sixth to visit the
student chapter. These advisers are
expected to give a great many val­uable
pointers to the local officers
concerning the carrying out of a
beneficial student program.
Accoi-ding to J. P. Handley, presi­dent
of the Y; M. C. A. unit here, this
organization is planning a full pro­gram
for this year and hopes to re­gain
its former place among the out­standing
groups on the campus. The
necessary money, which has held
back the work in former years, has
been appropriated by the Student
Executive Cabinet.
Any students wishing to work with
the Y. M. C. A. this year should
come by the Recreational Hall next
Tuesday or Thursday and meet these
officials. All members are urged to
be present at the meeting Tuesday
at eight o'clock.
Almgren Resigns Job
With Service Group
Fred J. Almgren, class of '24 in
electrical engineering, has resigned
his position with the Alabama Pub­lic
Service Commission with head­quarters
in Birmingham, to accept a
position with the Federal Securities
and Exchange Commission in Wash­ington.
Mr. Almgren is well known among
Auburn alumni. He made a high rec­ord
as a student and has continued
to climb since graduation. He and
several alumni were leaders in start­ing
at Auburn the chapter of Sigma
Chi Fraternity to which they had
looked forward and worked for more
than a decade. •

FRANK BROTHERS
PRESENT PROGRAM
Thursday Evening Entertain­ment
Second In Series Of
Four Offered By League
The second of a series of four en­tertainments
of the Alabama Music
League sponsored here by the Au­burn
Glee Club was presented last
night by the Frank Brothers, Philip,
violinist, who represented America at
the silver jubilee celebration last
summer in England, and Bernard, of
the Curtis Institute staff.
The program was divided into five
groups. 'The brothers played four
numbers in the first two divisions,
all of which were enjoyed by a very
appreciative audience.
Mendelssohn's Concerto was the
opening composition and the artists'
presentation of this first number
showed the type musicians that were
to be heard for the remainder of
the program. Philip Frank proved
himself to be an able partner for his
$50,000 instrument in this first di­vision
with his playing of Schubert's
Ave Maria.
In the third division of the pro­gram,
Bernard Frank presented a
group of piano solos. Of these it
would be hard to select any number
as outstanding, but the entire section
was very well presented a$d drew
the first encore of the evening. How­ever,
none of the pianist's solos were
any more to his credit than his ac­companiment
of Scott-Kreisler's
Lotus Land, the feature number of
the fourth division.
Last on the program was Sara-sate's
Zigeunerweisin, a composition
displaying the various- moods of a
gypsy. This piece was especially in­teresting
as it changed so frequently
from one type music to another. The
second encore of the evening was
after this last composition scheduled
on the program.

Son Of Auburn Man
Undergoes Operation
John Cauthen, son of Mr. and Mrs.
E. F. Cauthen, of Auburn, underwent
an operation for appendicitis Wed­nesday
in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
Cauthen, with three other radio op­erators
from the United States have
been stationed at Addis Ababa since
October 15 for the purpose of send­ing
radio announcements directly to
Washington.
With multiple aerials strung in tall
eucalyptus trees about the American
legation, these four operators have
succeeded in contacting all impor­tant
American land and naval sta­tions.
However, the weakness of
Washington signals have necessitat­ed
the strengthening of the .appara­tus
at Washington.
This emergency wireless appara­tus
was installed in Ethiopia to guard
against the bombing of the Ethiopian
government apparatus by Italian
planes. It marks the first establish­ment
of direct wireless communica­tion
between Ethiopia and the United
States.

By Eugene Lee
Auburn enters the state of Louisi­ana
for the second time this season
to play Louisiana State University in
Baton Rouge tomorrow afternoon.
Having defeated Tulane in the second
game of the season in New Orleans,
the Plainsmen encounter a Tiger team
that is rated just as strong as the
team that handed them a 20-6 drub­bing
last year in Tiger Stadium. The
Bayou Tigers have bowled over some
of the strongest teams in the South
and East and now rate one of the
five strongest teams in the nation.
This game will be the climax to
what is forecast as one of the greatest
homecoming celebrations in the histo­ry
of the Louisiana school. A large
crowd will be on hand to see two of
the strongest teams in the Southeast­ern
Conference battle in the outstand­ing
grid attraction on this week's card
for the South.
The outcome of this game will go
far in determining the championship
of the conference. The loss of this
game by L. S. U. would throw the
conference situation into a muddle.
Only Ole Miss and L. S. U. are un­defeated
within the conference. Ole
Miss plays the Tigers later in the
season and with the strong teams to
play later on offers Coach Walker's
aggregation little chance of winding
up on top. Auburn enters the last
half of their schedule with wins over
Tulane, Kentucky, and Duke to back
their chances of revenging last year's
(defeat by the Bayou Tigers.
The Plainsmen have been handicap­ped
by having a wet field to practice

Dean Wilmore To Talk
Before Joint Meeting
The paper on "The Future of En­gineering",
which Dean J. J. Wilmore
of the Engineering Department was
scheduled to present to the A. I. E. E.
campus branch last Monday, was post­poned
one week, and is to be given
next Monday, November fourth, at a
special joint meeting of the A. I. E. E.
and A. S. M. E. in Ramsay 109 at
seven o'clock p.m.
Dean Wilmore's paper is of such
outstanding importance to engineers
and engineering students, that the
Chairmen of the two societies sponsor­ing
the talk urge as many students
as possible to attend the meeting Mon­day
night. The necessity for cooper­ation
between all branches of engin­eering
and a powerful professional or­ganization
for engineers are the points
to be stressed by Wilmore. The sig­nificance
of technical discoveries and
general acceptance of new machines
by the public must be considered in
the light of the far reaching social
and economic effects they produce.
In the future engineers must increas­ingly
concern themselves with the
uses and possible mis-uses of their
creations.
It is planned to invite Mr.-L. H.
Means, of the Personal Department
of the General Electric Company,
who will be in Auburn on Monday
and Tuesday of next week to inter­view
senior engineers about prospec­tive
employment with G. E., to say
a few words to the group.

The Editor Goes A'Maying
The editor has gone to Baton Rouge. He
did not say why he was going, but he has
gone anyway. His parting instructions to
the staff were to do what they wanted to
with the paper, and that is just what we
have done. The point of all this is that
if there is anything about this paper that
you want to find fault with, do not bother
the editor about it: come around to the
office, and we'll hear your complaint,
though the chances are that we won't do
anything about it. We might not even
listen. The paper is out, and that's all.
that was ever expected of us. That's all
you could expect.
Out-Of-State Students
•In the recent comment concerning the
influx of out-of-state students at Auburn
one important point has been overlooked.
Although out-of-state enrollment this year
is larger than ever before, the percentage
of such enrollment shows a decided drop.
In other words, the popularity of Auburn
out of the state has not kept up with its
popularity within the bounds of Alabama.
Auburn remains, then, essentially an
Alabama college. More than 80 pe^r cent
of the men and women attending here now
reside in Alabama, and the tendency seems
to be for that percentage to grow. Assum­ing
that the change for the next two years
will continue as started this year, in 1937
Auburn will have only one student out of
nine a resident of some other state. It
must be remembered, too, that most of,
these out-of-state students come from
Georgia and other surrounding states,
while no doubt an equal number of Ala­bama
high school graduates attend college
in these same states.
When compared with figures released
from Tuscaloosa, the mere 18 per cent of
out-of-state' students here seems insignifi­cant.
When comparative figures from the
two campuses are studied for enrollments
from Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio, and
other industrial states, it becomes even
more apparent that Auburn is in no danger
of losing its identity as an Alabama col­lege.
One of the principal reasons for the
growth of students from the North is the
lower living cost here. As business con­ditions
improve all over the nation this
southern migration of students will no
doubt grow smaller. It might even be
that within a very few years the flow of
students will be overwhelmingly toward
the North, as was true up until the time
of the depression. After all the influx of
out-of-state students has done very little to
improve the standings of southern colleges,
as shown by last year's rating of univer­sities
published in a national magazine.
Not one institution below the Mason-Dixon
line was rated among the first twelve of
the nation. It is reasonable to assume
with improved business conditions more
northern students will be content to re­main
where the supposedly best colleges
are; at the same time, more southern stu­dents
will be financially able to attend
these so-called superior institutions.
The criticism of the migration from the
North at Auburn is based on two premises:
First, the personnel of the student body
is rapidly losing its southern identity as it
has done on the Tuscaloosa campus; and,
second, the state is putting out money for
the education of out-of-state students
rath'er than profiting from their residence
in the state. It may readily be seen that
this first fear is ungrounded. As for the
second reason for advocating action, the
small amount of money coming from out-of-
state students during the past few years
has been some little help. If fees had been
raised this influx of students would have
no doubt stopped, and the college would
have been even harder pressed to pay its
bills. After all, it seems we should criti:
cize our out-of-state enrollment very
lightly.
Southern Gentlemen
In the light of our heritage of polished
manners and flawless gentlemanliness it
is indeed gratifying to observe here in
Auburn very real survivals of Southern
Culture. History claims Itfiat its value lies
in its presentation of lessons from the
past, lessons and rules of conduct that are
directly applicable in the present.
That the courtesy rules of the Old South
have survived here in Auburn in an ap­preciable
degree is everywhere manifest.
The manners of the average Auburn un­dergraduate
are such that would put to
shame the court of Louis Quatorze. One
does not have to look far for illustrations.
Only the other evening in the local
theatre the writer was impressed by the
gentlemanly conduct of three or four
young men in his vicinity. It was no
small kindness on the part of these gentle­men
to supply the audience with subtle
reactions to everything that was flashed
•across the screen.
The pre-vues they greeted with vocifer­ous
protest. Every pre-vue has to have a
pseudoromantic, or at least a sexual, mo­ment;
the one presented here was decid­edly
in the former vein. When the lady
kissed the man, this select group of the
audience emitted something between a
catcall and a pig-grunt. After all, they
must have thought, the audience ought to
be warned against such sentimental rot;
following the emission of these strange,
preternatural noises we felt a warm glow
of gratitude for our self-appointed pro­testors.
For some reason the March of Time sur­vived
unnoticed. The gentlemen of the
claque were entertaining their neighbors
with smutty stories; after all, the one
about the farmer's daughter is a damned
sight more interesting than anything that
is happening in Ethiopia. We fully ap­preciated
being thus diverted from the dull
part of the evening's entertainment.
Then came the feature picture, and our
fellow-undergraduates settled down to
business. The feature was supposed to
have its touching moments. The falsely
reported death of the hero was One of
these. When the heroine was told of her
lover's death, the audience was the picture
of breathless attention; without warning
the silence was split with a muffled snort.
We shall remember the scene, thus height­ened,
as one of £he high points of our
dramatically emotional experience.
Finally, immediately following the last
flash on the screen, these supporters of
the evening entertainment put on an ama­teur
vaudeville act on their own initiative:
they made a spectacular dive for the aisles,
a stunt reminiscent of the old flying wedge
football play. The ladies whose toes were
stepped on were not at all upset thereby;
to see young men cavorting about like that
is indeed a splendid thing, for it shows
that our American youth, true to the Boy
Scout tradition, are prepared for anything.
The Plainsman, therefore, extends its
congratulations to these members of the
student body who made an evening* so
eminently pleasurable. It would be
enough to have a fine theatre and good
movies here; to have, in addition, mem­bers
of the audience who so admirably can
support the picture in entertaining the
rest of the crowd, surpasses, we believe,
anything like it in the country.
We Need A Sales Tax
Faculty members at Auburn received
their first pay check for the new fiscal
year yesterday. It was for five per cent
of a year's salary, or a half month's pay
for the bulk of the faculty. In addition
to this shortage in pay for faculty mem­bers,
Auburn needs building improvements
and laboratory equipment. Not since the
year 1932 have the faculty members been
paid in full, and not since the completion
of the textile building has the state pro­vided
any money for expansion.
Much was said in some quarters of the
state last summer about the increase in
appropriations for the colleges, but the
truth of the matter is that Auburn has not
nearly as large an appropriation today as
in any year between 1927 and 1932. On
top of that the Fletcher Budget Bill op­erates
to prevent the payment of the full
appropriation, for the legislature last sum­mer
appropriated much more money than
the treasury warranted.
From a strictly selfish standpoint, then,
Aubnrn has very good reasons for advo­cating
a sales tax in Alabama. The col­lege,
with more students to train than ever
before, has inadequate funds. The only
way to get more funds is to improve the
condition of the state treasury. Property
taxes are admitted to be high enough, or
too high. The most logical source of more
revenue seems to be the sales tax.
Of course Auburn is not the only
agency in the state suffering from lack of
funds. The public schools are doing very
well right now, but soon after the begin­ning
of 1936 we shall hear of schools all
over the state on the verge of closing. No
philanthropical Uncle Sam will come to
their assistance this time, so only more
revenue will prevent the schools from
closing. A sales tax appears to be the
only logical source of this needed reve­nue.
It is understood that about the first of
the year Governor Bibb Graved will call
a meeting of the legislature, and one bit
of legislation suggested in his call will be
the enactment of a sales tax law. It is
to the advantage of Auburn and all inter­ested
in education to work for the passage
of this law.
Auburn vs. The University
That old controversy about whether or
not the students at Auburn and the Uni­versity
of Alabama hate each other has
broken out again. John Temple Graves
II first chided the Auburn fans for cheer­ing
at the Auburn-Tennessee game when
announcement was made that Mississippi
State was beating Alabama. Then Alvin
Morland wrote an open letter to the
Plainsman remonstrating at Graves' atti­tude.
According to Morland, Auburn stu­dents
are friendly to the University, and
would rather see them win in football than
to see any team other than Auburn come
out ahead.
The writer has a suspicion that the feel­ing
concerning the University of Alabama
football conquests is not much different on
the Auburn campus from the feeling con­cerning
campaigns by Georgia, Georgia
Tech, and other neighboring institutions.
If Alabama is playing in the Rose Bowl,
most Auburn fans are pulling for an Ala­bama
victory. They would pull just as
hard if Georgia or Tennessee were in the
Rose Bowl. When the games are within
the conference, most Auburn students are
putting all their enthusiasm into wishing
for victories which will leave the field open
for Auburn. If Auburn can't win, they
would just as soon see Alabama win as
anyone.
Many students at Auburn hate a foot­ball
victory by the University of Alabama,
although they are probably in a small mi­nority.
Likewise many students are pre­judiced
against Georgia Tech or any other
college that might be selected. Any Sat­urday
some students can be heard to say,
"Just so Alabama loses," but many more
are anxious to hear of an Alabama victory.
No doubt John Temple Graves heard
cheering at Birmingham when an Alabama
defeat was announced. He probably for­got
to notice the cheering when other de­feats
were announced. Probably many
cheered when they heard Vanderbilt was
defeated. Probably many cheered when
they heard Georgia Tech was defeated. But
that does not mean the Auburn fans hate
those colleges.
In football Auburn students and Au­burn
fans are all for Auburn. They want,
any team defeated that might stand in
the way of Auburn football ambitions.
Aside from that the University of Alabama
is just another college, probably supported
a little more enthusiastically by some and
condemned a little more drastically by
others simply because of its nearness to
Auburn.
Graft In High Places?
. We do not know who is behind this rat-cap
racket, but it smells louder every
year.
The procedure runs something like this:
Every year somebody is placed at a promi­nent
point along the registration line to
sell ratcaps; the poor unsuspecting fresh­man
wanders along, and, thinking it the
thing to do, buys a cap (these caps once
sold for as high as $1.75 each); he wears
the cap until he realizes how hideous he
looks under it; and in the end somebody
has the money, while the freshman has a
white elephant on his hands.
Further comment on such a state of
affairs as this seems superfluous.

ESSAY ON MAN
(From Frethman Theme Review) •
Men have two feet, two hands and some­times
two wives; but never more than one
collar or one idea at a time. Generally
speaking, men may be divided into three
classes: husbands, bachelors and widowers.
Making a husband out of a man is the most
complicated and difficult of the arts. It
requires science, sculpture, common sense,
faith and charity—mostly charity. If you
flatter a man, it frightens him to death;
if you do not, it bores him to death. If
you believe all he tells you, he thinks you
are a fool; if y»u do hot, he thinks you
are a cynic. If you are a clinging vine,
he doubts if you have any brains; if you
are modern, broad, and independent, he
doubts whether you have a heart. If you
are silly, he longs for a clever mate; if you
are brilliant, he longs for a playmate. If
you a r c popular with other men, he is
jealous; if you are not, he hesitates to
marry a wall flower.
Men, anyway, are popeyed bipeds.

Grandpa, the catch cat man of the back­yard
Indian episode, left one word of wis­dom
that has always struck me as 24 caret
logical. When calling a man a liar, as he
frequently called Indians, Tories, and
Woodsmen alike, he always called the man
both a liar AND a hoss thief . . . saying
that anyone who is a liar is also either a
dyed in the wool or a potential hoss thief.
That is entirely logical. Anyone who
would deliberately lie, knowing that you
knew he was lying, would be entirely cap­able
of also stealing hosses. Or kissing
babies.

Louisianans To Put An Intact
Squad On Field In An Effort
To Keep Their Slate Clean
Louisiana State is
preparing for their
burn this Saturday
hard at work
game with Au-in
the first of
four formidable Conference contests
on schedule.
With practically the same squad
which defeated the Plainsmen last
year 20-6, the Purple Tigers are
rated as one of the best teams in the
history of the school.
Their chief asset lies in the abili­ties
of Abe Mickal, Bill Crass, and
Jeff Fatheree, who are the tossers
heading the aerial attack which has
yet to be successfully bottled up.
With four victories out of five
starts behind them, the Louisiana
lads will be pointing for their first
important Conference victory.
In addition, Coach Bernie Moore's
boys will be playing before a large,
friendly Home-Coming Day crowd.
Such a group of spectators have a
great effect on a team and add im­petus
to the attack.
The game Saturday is one of the
most important contests scheduled in
the south for Saturday. Consequently
both teams will be keyed to high
pitch and should display some sen­sational
football.

Louisiana State To Risk Clean Slate In Saturday's Tilt
LOUISIANA AND
AUBURN MEETING
FOR TENTH GAME
Auburn Has Won Five Out Of
Nine Games; To Enter The
Tilt Saturday As Underdog
When Auburn and Louisiana State
step out on the football field tomorrow
afternoon at Baton Rouge it will be
the tenth meeting in thirty-four years
of the two teams. Football relations
with L. S. U. started back in 1901
with Auburn winning five of the nine
games, Louisiana State four. No
games ended in a deadlock.
In 1901 the Tigers won 28-0, but in
the following year they lost 5-0. The
Plainsmen made a clean sweep of the
contests in 1903, '12, '13, and '24, win­ning
by scores of 12-0, 7-0, 7-0, and
3-0, respectively. The gold and pur­ple
gridders retaliated by emerging
the victor the remaining three games,
in 1926, 10-0, in 1927, 9-0, and in
1934 they won 20-6. It will be noted
that none of the above games have
been won by more than two touch­downs
with the exception of the first
encounter, Auburn winning by a score
of 28-0. The other games have all
been rather close and hotly contested.
Louisiana State has lost but four
games since 1931, going undefeated
in the conference circle in 1932 and
'33. A number of tie games have
kept the purple Tigers from claiming
the Southeastern Conference honors
in those years.
Coach Bernie Moore has probably
one of the strongest elevens in the
conference. Of the eleven players
who constituted the Purple Tigers'
first-string last year, only one man,
Sullivan, is gone. They have only
played one conference game to date,
defeating Vanderbilt 7-2, while Au­burn
has engaged in three league tilts,
winning two and losing one.

games follows:

SPORTS CHATTER
nBy EUGENE LEE=^
Haygood Paterson received the recognition that he deserves when he
was rated the best tackle in the South by Allan Gould, of the Associated
Press this week. This is only the beginning of what is hoped will lead to
Ail-American honors for this big tackle. He was beset with injuries to
start the season, and as a result his play was not up to standard until the
Kentucky game was reached. He was the outstanding tackle in this game
and followed this up with a great exhibition in the Duke game. Besides
being a tower of strength in the line, he has scored his share of points
with placement kicks. He has what it takes to make a great tackle—
strength, weight, aggressive ability, and love for the game. With five more
games on the schedule and barring accidents he should reach the All-
American goal.
Although Mr. Gould did not mention Walter Gilbert, this great center
rates with the best of them. He has starred in every game he has played
in this year and will receive a lot of recognition when the awards are
passed out at the end of the season.

Touch Grid Games
Be Played Sunday
The inter-fraternity touch football
tourney will conclude its second week
of play on Sunday when three games
will be played on Drake Field.
S. A. E. will meet Pi Kappa Phi,
Alpha Gamma Rho will meet Kappa
Alpha, and S. P. E. wiH tangle with
A. T. O.
The winners of these games will
step into the quarter final bracket
along with Delta Sigma Phi, Pi Kap­pa
Alpha, Lambda Chi, Theta Chi,
and Phi Delta Theta.
Play in the upper bracket this week
was featured by Delta Sig's victory
over Sigma Nu to the tune of 12-0,
Lambda Chi's trouncing of Sigma
Nu 19-0, and Pi Kappa Alpha's de^
feat of T. U. O.
In the lower bracket the play of
Theta Chi and Phj Delta Theta has
stood out thus far. This past week
Theta Chi trimmed Beta Kappa and
Phi Delta Theta, after drawing a bye
in the first round, gave a demonstra­tion
of their power by soundly
trouncing Alpha Psi by the score of
30-0.
In the quarter final games Delta
Sigma Phi will meet Pi Kappa Alpha,
while the winner of the S. A. E.-
Pi Kappa Phi tilt will try to stop the
fast Lambda Chi team.
In the lower bracket Theta Chi
will do battle with the victor of Sun­day's
Alpha Gamma Rho-Kappa Alpha
tussle, and Phi Delta Theta's strong
outfit will meet the winner of the
S. P. E.-A. T. O. argument.
All games in the bracket of eight
must be completed by Sunday, No­vember
10, semi-final games must be
played by November 17, and the final
game must be played by November
24.
No team in the South can boast
of a more coordinated attack than
the Tigers offer. This is backed by
spirit and fight. Coach Meagher has
all bi the squad working in unison.
Every member is working for him,
which bespeaks for his ability and
that of his coaching staff. With the
exception of the Tennessee game
Auburn's drive and coordinated at­tack
has stood out in all games.

L. S. U. practically eliminated Van­derbilt
from the Conference race by

Auburn must bottle up this threat in

Auburn took an upward leap in
southern football ratings by defeating

Gantt Has Record
Of Blocked Kicks
A record number of 16,kicks was
blocked by Frank Gantt, Alabama
Poly's fearless and skillful left guard,
while he was displaying unusual abil­ity
at center on the Southern prep
school championship, Madison, Ga.,
A. & M. eleven in 1931. Gantt, a
junior from Lavonia, Ga., was Dixie's
premier prep school center when he
matriculated at Auburn, but his
weight of 170 caused Plainsmen
coaches ' to switch him to guard,
where he is making a fine record.
He attended Georgia Military Col­lege
at Milledgeville in 1932 and was
named center on the Cadets' all-time
grid eleven.
All of Alabama Poly's tackles and
ends play on both the left and right
side of the line.

BAPTIST STUDENT
CONVENTION TO OPEN
SESSIONS TONIGHT
(Continued from page 1)
convention Saturday night on "Need
of Christian Principles in the Life
of Our State and Nation." Dr. Kel­ler
is widely known in the education­al
circles, especially in Alabama. At
the close of the Saturday night ses­sion
Judson College will present a
play.
Sunday morning Dr. T. L. Hol-combe,
Executive Secretary of the
Baptist Sunday School Board, Nash­ville,
will speak at the eleven o'clock
hour. His subject is "Have Faith
in God." The students will meet at
9 o'clock on Sunday morning for their
conference period and the Sunday
School lesson which will be taught
by Dr. J. I. Riddle, Dean of Educa­tion,
Alabama College,. Montevallo.
The convention will close with the
afternoon session, Sunday. Dr. T. L.
Holcomb will bring the closing mes­sage
on "Do We Dare Be Chris­tians?"
Among the projects to be fostered
by the Fund will be the sum of $150
to be expended for food and cloth­ing
as a Christmas fund for Auburn's
needy. There will also be a sum of
$150 to supply lunches for under­privileged
school children, this
amount being in line with that re­quired
in previous years.
The amount budgeted as "health
room" will be used to buy first aid
equipment and medicine for the Lee
County School. The library fund is
needed in order that the state re­quirements
for high schools may be
complied with. Funds raised for this
purpose locally will be supplemented
by those from the State.
The amount to be raised for the
Boy Scouts will be used largely for
the improvement of the Scout, hut
and to buy trailers for the trans­portation
of Scouts. The Girl Scouts
are hoping to erect a hut during the
coming year upon land which has
already been donated for that pur­pose.
The fund will also include an
amount for the buying of necessary
school books for underprivileged chil­dren
at the Lee County School. The
Miss Kitty Kimbell
Signed By Cavaliers
The Auburn Cavaliers recently
created a sensation in the College
Inn when they introduced Miss Kitty
Kimbell, of Montgomery, as their
featured vocalist. Through her con­nections
with radio stations WAPI
in Birmingham, WSM in Nashville,
and WSCO in Charlotte, Miss Kim­bell
is recognized as one of the out­standing
vocalists of the South.
In addition to Miss Kimbell's
charming personality, the Cavaliers
have also acquired the services of
Henry Vaughan, of Selma. Vaughan
has been connected with several
popular bands including Duke Sud­bury
and his orchestra from the Ed­wards
Hotel in Jackson, Miss.
This year the Cavaliers have
adopted the distinctive combination
of tenor sax lead and four brass,
which has recently become very
popular with the better known bands.
The sax section includes: Dal Ruch,
first tenor sax and music director;
Elliot Kaplus, second tenor sax; and
John Keith, third baritone sax and
business manager. The brass section
includes besides Vaughan: Chester
Feagin, second trumpet; John Hoov­er,
third trumpet; and Jimmie Simms,
trombone.
Much color is added to the arrange­ments
by the Vibraphone playing of
•"Ole Boy" Holmberg, who also sings
very much like Lee Bennett, we are
told. Others in the rhythm section
are: Hal Pledger, the new guitar
man; Jimmie Hooper, bass; and Gor­don
Moon, piano.
The Cavaliers are rapidly making
a name for themselves in the music
field and have already made arrange­ments
for extensive tours during the
Thanksgiving • and Christmas holi­days.

on this week, but they were fortunate
by not having any injuries chalked up
against them in the Duke game. Cap­tain
Mutt Morris has gotten «rid of
his injury and is in condition to start
at his regular end position. The Ti­gers
took advantage of having Satur­day
afternoon vacant and went
through a spirited drill under the di­rection
of Coach Wilbur Hutsell. The
week was devoted to scrimmages
against L. S. U. plays with the fresh­men
offering the opposition.
The offensive work of the Tiger
team has improved greatly as the sea­son
has progressed. The defensive
strength of the team was a proven
factor at the start of the season.
So far only two teams hav6 managed
to score on the Tigers. Birmingham-
Southern scored one touchdown and
Tennessee scored twice. Rose's touch­down
after catching O'Rourke's fum­ble
could happen in any game and
was no fault of the defense. Hitch­cock,
O'Rourke, Mitchell, Fenton, Tip­per,
and Kilgore offer the Tigers one
of best sets of backs in the South.
Either one is dangerous when in the
open. Fenton has improved a great
deal. This sophomore broke into the
open for a 65-yard run in the Duke
game and made more gains than any
other back on the field. Mitchell and
Hitchcock have held their own with
all punters that they have faced this
season.
Auburn's pass defense^ will receive
a severe test tomorrow. L. S. U. has
resorted to passes in most of their
games this season to score when their
running plays bog down. The Tigers
have probably gotten more results
from passes than any other team in
the South and are a threat any time
Mikal, Crass, and Featheree start
tossing them. The Plainsmen's pass
defense has been very successful this
season. In the game with Duke Par­ker
had very little success with his
tosses. Tennessee's array of backs
met with the same results in Birming­ham
and so did Birmingham-Southern.
The feature of the line lately has
been the improvement of Paterson's
play. This big tackle has been the
outstanding tackle in both the Ken­tucky
and Duke games. He seems to
have rid himself of the injuries of the
first of the season and stands ready to
carry on the great work that was pre­dicted
of him to .start the year.
The probable lineup will find Cap­tain
Mutt Morris and Hamp Williams
at ends; Haygood Paterson and Hugh
Rodgers at tackles; McCroskey and
Gantt at guards; Walter Gilbert at
center; either Scarborough or Stewart
at quarterback; Hitchcock at left half;
Tipper at right; and O'Rourke at full­back.
Antley has proved to be an ex­cellent
reserve for the great Gilbert
at center and will probably see some
action. Gantt has shown a great deal
of improvement at guard and with
Sam McCroskey offer the Tigers great
strength at this post. Coach Meagher
rated McCroskey's block of a Duke
player Friday during the game as one
of the best he had ever seen. This
former Woodlawn star is one of the
hardest workers on the squad.
