Competition Is Keen In Frat Tourney
FOUR TEAMS TO
BATTLEMONDAY
IN SEMI-FINALS
The First Game Monday Night
Will Be Between Sigma Nu
. And Alpha Gamma Rho
FINALS ON WEDNESDAY
Second Game In Semi-Finals
Will Be Between Theta Chi
And Theta Kappa Nu At 8
Four strong fraternity quintets will
enter the semi-final round of the in-terfrat
tournament Monday night at
Alumni Gym. The first game will
be between Sigma Nu and
Gamma Rho at 7 o'clock, and Theta
Chi is paired against Theta Kappa
Nu at 8. The two winners of these
games will battle it out for the inter-frat
cup in the finals on Wednesday
night at 8:15.
Quarter final play was completed
Wednesday night with the Sigma Nu
and Alpha Gamma Rho teams winning
their games. Sigma Nu defeated
Alpha Psi 31 to 9, and Alpha Gamma
Rho won out over Sigma Alpha Epsi-lon
64 to 11.
The Sigma Nu quintet started with
a rush against Alpha Psi and soon
had a comfortable lead. The half
ended with the winners holding a 20
to 5 margin. Several substitutions
were sent in during the last half, and
they coasted through, adding 11 points
to their half time score to Alpha Psi's
4. The Alpha Psi five was never a
match for the fast working performers
from the "bottoms."
Billy Hitchcock was the star of the
Sigma Nu outfit. His 10 points gave
him high scoring honors, and he
backed his scoring performance with
fast floor work. Although Turk did
not rank high in scoring, his floor
work was a great aid toward his
team's victory. McGehee, Jolly and
Pugh contributed considerably to the
win over Alpha Psi. McGehee scored
6 points and Jolly 5. Other members
of the Sigma Nu team to see service
were Peace, Foster, Berry, Smith,
Wilson, and Cook. *
Members of the Alpha Psi team to
play in the game were Wright, Al-britton,
Martin, Houston, Powell, Vail
and Eaton. Eaton led the team in
scoring with 4_points.
The outcome of the second game was
never in doubt after the sharpshooters
of the Alpha Gamma Rho team started
dropping them through the hoops
with regularity. With Scarborough,
Kyser and Clarks scoring at will the
winners soon pulled away from the
5. A. E. five. The team work of the
Alpha Gamma Rho team was far superior
to that of any team to perform
in the tournament to date.
Scarborough led the scorers with 20
points. He was a threat any time he
gained possession of the ball beyond
the center of the court. His ability
to score from any angle, coupled with
his all-around playing gave his honors
for the game. Kyser closely pressed
him for honors with 16 points to his
credit. Clark did not play as much
of the game as these two did, but he
scored 14 points. Others to play were
Hall, Turner, Furlow, Bamberg, Gis-sendanner,
Martin, and Stewart.
Garrison led the losers with 4
points with McMillan following with
3. Gay, Scott, Harbeson, McClure
and Mullins were other members of
the S. A. E. team to see service.
PUBLICATIONS CANDIDATES
NAME OWN QUALIFICATIONS
In submitting qualifications to the
Publications Committee, each prospective
candidate for a publications office
was required to present a statement
written by himself containing additional
information which he considers
will qualify him to hold the position
for which he is a candidate.
This ruling was added to the re
quirements this year in order that the
voters may be better able to judge
which candidates to support in the
election which comes the second week
in April. It was felt by the committee
that any past experience of any
candidate should be given careful con
sideration by the voters.
The qualifications- as given by each
of the candidates are here printed for
Alpha*jt h e b e n e f i t of t h e voters. They follow:

Large Number Attend
Philosophy Lectures
No lecture series in recent years has
attracted more interest on the Auburn
campus than the one conducted
this week by Dr. Katherine Gilbert,
of the graduate faculty at Duke University.
Capacity audiences have attended
Dr. Gilbert's brilliant discussions on
philosophy beginning Monday afternoon
and continuing through Friday.
The series closed this afternoon with
an open forum led by Dr. Gilbert in
Broun Hall.
During the series she discussed
Plato, Spinoza, aesthetics, and the relation
of philosophy to contemporary
problems.
Instrumental in bringing Dr. Gilbert
to Auburn was Dr. Rosa Lee
Walston, associate professor of education.
The series was sponsored by the
He says r "I believe I am capable of
doing the work successfully, for I have
an average amount of 'good taste' regarding
arrangements, and am able
to write editorials, compose articles,
and do other types of writing that
are necessary for the Glomerata. My
work on the Plainsman staff during
1932-33 and in the fall of 1933 is
evidence of this ability."
Frank McCall: Has worked on the
editorial staff of the Glomerata since
September of this year. Other experience
along this line includes work on
numerous high school annuals and
newspapers.
Helen Tigner: Has served on the
editorial staff of the Glomerata for
two years. Last year she was reporter
for the Plainsman "which gave me
some experience in presenting material
to the public." Miss Tigner was
editor of the Student' Handbook for
this year. Her grades for the past
two and one-half years have averaged
above 93.
BUSINESS MANAGER, THE
GLOMERATA
Pat Plumlee (unopposed): Has been
a member of the business staff of
the Glomerata for two years, gaining
experience in all branches of the work
including the selling of advertising,
collecting bills and managing the taking
of pictures.
In addition to his work on the annual
Plumlee has completed a summer
course in business college and is
in contact with business houses of this
and other communities.
EDITOR, THE PLAINSMAN
Bobby Chesnutt: Has worked on
the editorial staff of the Plainsman
since the first semester of his freshman
year, working under three different
editors. He says: "Having worked
hard for this long time and having
looked forward to running for editor
of the Plainsman since the first day
I worked on the staff, I believe myself
competent to do the duties of the
editor in case I should receive the
position." This year he has held the
position as news editor.
Alvin Morland: While attending
Phillips High in Birmingham, Morland
served on the staff of the school
publication for two years, being co-editor-
in-chief in his,senior year. During
that year the paper was judged
the best high school paper in the state.
While in high school Morland also
served as sports editor of the yearbook.
During the time of its existence
he worked on the staff of The
Birmingham Mirror, a local daily
newspaper.

Frosh Make Plans
For Dance On
March 13
Plans for the second annual Freshman
Hop were discussed yesterday at
a freshman convocation. The class
voted unanimously to withdraw 25
cents from each member's class dues
in order to meet expenses.
The finance, decoration, orchestra,
invitations, and a general committee
were appointed by the class at large
yesterday. The names of the committee
members were not disclosed.
According to Curty Farley, class
president, no one but freshmen and
their dates will be allowed to attend
the "rat" affair.
Negotiations are now under way to
obtain the gymnasium for Friday
night, March 13, which date has been
set for the dance. If the gym cannot
be obtained at this time, another time

Several New Professors Added To Auburn Faculty
Several new men have been added
to the faculty membership at Auburn
for the second semester. Some
of them are replacing professors who
have left, or are absent on leave. The
School of Agriculture, the School of
Veterinary Medicine, and the School
of Science and Literature have two
each. The History Department has
one new member.
Buis Taft Inman is one of the new
members in the School of Agriculture.
He was appointed to the position of
Assistant Professor of Agriculture
Economics to carry on research work
in Agriculture Economics. He received
his B.S. degree from the University
of Kentucky in 1929, and his M.S. degree
from the same institution in 1932.
Formerly Professor Inman served
as Assistant Farm Economist at the
University of Kentucky, and Assistant
Agricultural Economist at the University
of Illinois.
The other new member of the staff
of the School of Agriculture is Norman
J. Volk. His title is Associate
Soil Chemist, and his work is research
in soil chemistry. He received his
B.S.A. degree from the University of
Wisconsin in 1923, M.S. degree in
1924 from the same school, and also
received his Ph.D. there in 1932.
Dr. Volk has done soil survey work
in Michigan and Wisconsin, for two
years was Soil Chemist, Texas A. &
M., was with the Research Department
of the United Fruit Company
for seven years, and headed this department
from 1933 to 1936. He has
published several bulletins and articles
on the result of his research.
Dr. Volk is a member of the Beta
Kappa social fraternity, and is also
a member of Sigma Xi and Phi Sigma
honorary fraternities.
Dr. Russell L. Mundhenk is one of
the new members of the faculty of
the School of Veterinary Medicine. He
attended the Philadelphia College of
Pharmacy from 1906 to 1909, and Ohio
State 1913-16. He received the degree
of D.V.M. from the latter school in
1916.
Dr. Mundhenk taught at the Chicago
Medical College 1921-22. He is
a member of Phi Sigma and Alpha Psi
fraternities, and is also a member of
Scabbard and Blade.
An old Auburn graduate is the
other new member added to the School
of Veterinary Medicine faculty. He
is Dr. William Monroe Howell. Dr.
Howell received his D.V.M. degree
from Auburn in 1909. He is a member
of the Sigma Nu fraternity.
Dr. Roy E.. Geeting is one of the
new faculty members in the Department
of Economics and Sociology of
the Science and Literature School.

T.V.A.
Dr. Geeting received his Ph.D. degree
from Ohio State in 1934, and
has been working in Washington before
taking up his duties here. He is

A shoulder to shoulder shooting
match between five southern colleges
will take place tomorrow morning at
the Auburn shooting range located in
the attic of the Textile Building. The
colleges sending teams to Auburn for
the match are, besides Auburn, Florida,
Alabama, Georgia, and' Georgia
Tech.
The winning team will receive a
silver plaque. Permanent possession
of this plaque will be awarded to the
team winning it three years in succession.
In addition to the plaque,
each member of the winning team will
be presented with a medal.
The' match between these five colleges
was originated last year by
members of last year's rifle team. Saturday
marks its first appearance at
Auburn.
According to present plans of the
meet, five men from each college will
shoot, while five others count; so
there will be a total of twenty-five
men shooting in each contest.
Though Auburn won second place
in the recent Corps Area match, no
measure of the home team's strength
can be reckoned due to the fact that
Florida completely out-classed the rest
of the field and won first place by a
wide margin.
The members of the teams representing
Auburn are: Team number
one—Hardeman, Brunson, Bradford,
Strickland, and Tomlinson; team
number two—Calloway, Panell, Lee,
Wright, and Rich; team number three
—Wilkes, Wallace, Howard, Robbins,
and Ellis.
Lieutenant H. W. Erghott, coach
and instructor of the Auburn team,
was very pessimistic over Auburn's
chance of a victory.
"We have a number of good shots,"
he said, "but they do not hold up so
well under competition. Last year we
had a group of mediocre but very
steady marksmen."
Lieutenant Erghott predicted a victory
for Florida.

Some Didn't Forget
The fact that some students didn't forget
what they came to college for is now showing
up. Those seniors who have made good
grades during their career at Auburn are
now in line for positions when they graduate
this spring. Those who thought college
meant four year of high life are now in
their senior year no closer to a job than
they were when freshmen.
There is no getting around the fact that
a good record in college pays dividends in
the long run. Those who spent their time
in honest pursuit 8i knowledge are given
preference over those who found it much
more enjoyable to get by with seventy and
have a little time for extra curricular activities
of a questionable nature.
Some students are fortunate enough in
having several strings handy which if pulled
might ring down a good job. But for the
majority the number of strings are limited.
These students depend largely upon a good
college record as a recommendation. Those
who pull strings might get a job but chances
are they will be pulling strings most of
their lives instead of sticking at one job
and climbing to the top. Those who earn
their positions through good work in most
cases are bound to succeed. Records prove
this to be true despite all this about Phi
Beta Kappa's found behind a barber's chair.
Well, neither is it true that all poor college
students are flops when they leave college.
There are exceptions to any rule.
Too Much To Read
Through our experience with the Plainsman
so far this year we have about come
to the conclusion that there is too much to
read. The world has been flooded with all
sorts of literature ranging from philosophy
down to levels not fit to mention here.
Everybody seems to be writing. Opinions
on varied subjects are being ground out by
the presses by the bales. The reading pub-lis
is engulfed with such huge amounts of
reading material he hardly knows where
to begin to read.
Reams of material are received at the
Plainsman office each week. Most of it
ends in the waste basket without even being
opened. Some of it is glanced over quickly
and then finds a resting place also in the
trash basket Propaganda comes in floods
—usually it's against this or that—written
by inspired groups which feel that unless
something is done pretty quickly the world
will soon come to an end or something.
Those who even in a small way attempt
to keep up with the printed words in newspapers,
magazines and books find that it is
an almost impossible task to determine exactly
what it is all about. The reader has
a hazy conception of what is happening in
general, but as far as having a clear-cut,
concise picture, that is unlikely. Most everybody
knows something about a few things,
but very few know much outside their small
field of interest.
The inevitable result of such vast quantities
of reading matter is that the public
has grown tired of .lengthy discussions on
economics, politics or whathaveyou and demand
the sensational. They are continually
in search of something to read that is odd,
humorous, or scandalous. They skip over
the serious reading with a glance. At least
we have found that the general student is
far more interested in somebody else's business
than in the fact that teachers at Auburn
are living on salaries cut to the bone
and hardly sufficient to keep a doormouse
in comfortable circumstances.
People used to read for the sheer joy of
mental exercise or relaxation or to learn of
the facts of some important question of the
day. Today one finds so many sides and
facts given for each question that he finds
it easier to read neither side, so he reads
0. 0. Mclntyre and then continues on with
where he left off on the tale about Orphan
Annie.
Probably it is just as well. After all,
the printed word is now about as cheap as
the spoken word, and about half of what is
printed each day isn't worth reading about
anyway.
From The Hills And Woods
The great voice of America does not come
from the seats of learning. It comes in a
murmur from the hills and woods and factories
and the hills, rolling and gaining volume
until it comes to us from the homes
of the common men. Do these murmurs
echo in the corridors of the universities?
I have not heard them. The universities
would make men forget their common origins,
forget their universal sympathies, and
join a class—and no class can ever serve
America. I have dedicated every power
there is in me to bring the colleges that I
have anything to do with to an absolutely
democratic regeneration in spirit, and I
shall not be satisfied until America shall
know that men in the colleges are saturated
with the same thought and the same sympathies
as the common people.—Woodrow Wilson,
in 1910, president of Princeton University.
Extra Loafing Time
The Birmingham News recently commended
the governing body at Birmingham
Southern College for doing away with all
Saturday classes. The paper went on further
to say that now students at the school
will have time for individual research and
study which they would not have with Saturday
classes. That's a nice idealistic view
point to take. But chances are pretty
good, if we can judge by what students do
at Auburn, that this extra time will not
be used for study. All extra time granted*
to a college student is but extra time for
doing nothing, or for sleeping late in the
morning.
Sez You! ,
The question of whether or not Alabama
should legalize the sale of alcoholic beverages
is one of the many problems before
the special session of the legislature now
meeting in Montgomery. Of course the
opinions given below cannot be regarded as
a majority opinion, but they are interesting
in that most of the answers infer that
Alabama is a little behind the times in pass-ing
up this source of revenue.
The question as we asked it was: "Do
you believe that Alabama should have legalized
liquor?" Personally we believe that
Alabama is not too many legislatures or
referendums away from it, but let's see
what the readers have to say:
H. L. Small, a Soph from Medford, Mass.
—"The greatest thing the present legislature
could endorse is the legalization of liquor.
A new era of gold could be thus realized."
Virginia Wadsworth, a Soph from Fort
Benning—"It really doesn't make any difference
to me, the Auburnite will get plastered
regardless."
Dr. Roger Allen, Prof, of Chemistry—
"Being that I'm not an authority on the
subject, I'll pass the buck on this one."
Ed O'Donnell, a Soph from Elyria—"If
Alabama had legalized liquor we would get
more liquor and less kerosene for our dollar.
It would also be less troublesome to get a
little nip whenever the desire arises."
Lt. Des Islets—"Yes, I believe that Alabama
should legalize liquor. We should
draw a lesson from Canada, who makes her
vices pay the bills for her education, which
isn't a bad idea after all."
Bruce Johnson, a Junior from Montgomery—"
I think that Alabama is a little slow
in realizing the huge benefits which would
result from legalized liquor. Since men
will buy liquor anyway who not let the State
reap the harvest instead of the bootlegger?"
Katherine Quattlebaum, another Soph
from Conway, S. C.—"They have liquor anyway
so why not have it legally. Drunks
are drunks but it seems a little more respectable
to be a legalized one."
Finally a gentleman who wishes to remain
anonymous, but thinks his opinion should
be heard anyway, says—"I believe Alabama
should legalize liquor if only for the reason
that it would do away with much of the
campus bootlegging prevalent at Auburn."
Letters To The Editor
Editor, The Plainsman,
Dear Sir:
I wpnder if when you were a child, assuming
you are past that stage now, you
ever did anything that you thought was
pretty cute and when no one noticed it, did
it again hoping someone would notice it that
time. Or maybe, if you don't get what I
mean, did you ever hear someone in a "bull"
session pull a fast one and when, thinking
no one heard it, have him pull it again only
to see it fall flat a second time.
Well, not to keep your little joke from
falling flat the second time but to let you
know the real reason you had no response
from your first, so-called, editorial concerning
the campaign being held by Blue
Key I am taking this opportunity to tell
you.
It is extremely gratifying to note that no
one did take issue with you which indicates
that the students of Auburn and especially
the members of Blue Key and the Y. M. C.
A. had common sense enough to consider the
source and let it go at that. So I believe
I am perfectly safe in saying that the reason
you had no response to your "editorial
mud slinging" is that the members of these
organizations were above participating in
such. Incidentally, I do not think I am
lowering myself or either of these organizations
by writing you this letter, rather,
I believe it a necessity to. bring to your
attention a fact that is obvious to anyone
of even average intelligence—that your criticism
met with the approval of a very small
minority.
Sincerely,
Blue Key Member.
Thanks, but you needn't' get mad about
it.—Ed.
* AUBURN FOOTPRINTS
Editor, The Plainsman
Dear Sir:
Rumor has it that two prominent co-eds
will announce their candidacy for two major
campus offices in the spring elections. This
bit of news should create no little excitement;
it will mark the first time in the
school's history that any member of the
weaker sex has tried to gain one of the
"big. time" jobs. ,
If one of these girls is elected, I have an
idea that school will benefit. My line of
reasoning follows:
Proud parents have heretofore objected
to sending their daughter to Auburn inasmuch
as Auburn was primarily founded
as a technical school for men only. Now,
with a co-ed in an office of responsibility,
they. might conclude that Auburn really
does have a place for girls; and consequently,
they might send "our darling" to Auburn
next year.
'Mrt Editor, I ask you, would any of our
campus Beau Brummels or otherwise object
to an increased enrollment of girls here on
the Plains?
I think the pioneer spirit show by these
two young ladies is very commendable.
But there's a catch; how true is the old
phrase (perhaps I misquote), 'There are
thorns for every rose." Anyway do you
think it possible that we will have any Mon-tevallo
transfers as a result of this new
era? 1
Yours,
For More Co-eds. 1
A co-ed ran last year for business manager
of the Glomerata.—Ed.
National Defense Week
This is national defense week. The total
organized forces of the United States rank
nineteenth among those of the nations of
the world. . Even tiny Switzerland tops our
436,000 with its 630,000. Ergo, it is tantamount
that our defense forces be increased.
Thus runs the usual argument. We have
witnessed the recent passage, as if in anticipation
of defense week, of the greatest
peace-time war department supply bill of
$545,000,000. But, in attempting to justify
increases in preparedness, the big-arm^ and
big-navy proponents apparently overlook
one vital fact. They forget that the United
States is not part of the European continent,
with hostile nations as neighbors.
Numerical comparison of armed strength
is of minor concern to us. We have in the
6,000 miles of the Pacific and the 3,500
miles of the Atlantic allies which more than
make up for the enormously greater armies
across the seas. - We have only two immediate
neighbors. To the north is friendly
Canada, with whom we have maintained
peaceful relations throughout our national
existence. To the south is Mexico, a relatively
small and powerless nation.
These are some of the facts military departments
might include in mimeographed
sheets which they distribute to their cadets
during national defense week. Instead, the
material "proves" the insufficiency of our
organized forces and obviously campaigns
for increased preparedness. Statistics, like
the Scriptures, it is said, can be used to
prove what one wishes to prove—if judicious
omission of pertinent fact is exercised.
But that omission may have serious consequences
when it is conducive to extravagant
and provocative military preparation.—

Disadvantages Of Coeducation
that the co-eds are not on an equal-footing
with the male students. Maybe it is because
woman's place in the educational world has
not yet been legalized. Before the idea of
coeducation was thought of, there was a
college for men.* The co-ed seems to have
an inferior feeling because of this.
There seems to be three groups against
coeducation: first, those graduates of
schools that are not coeducational; second,
those that believe in romantic fancies or
challenge the sincerity of the good of education
on social life; and third, the 'feminist"
who joins the romantic doubters. Some
authorities say that young girls can be
taught the special role of woman only when
trained in small groups and together. Many
parents seem to object to the idea of coeducation
because they feel that the presence
of so many young men will prove distracting
to Sally which may be harmful; on the other
hand Sally may not be so silly and sentimental.
Nevertheless a coeducational college
must be the hardest place in the world
for a girl of eighteen years of age to remain
true to herself. Another problem of
coeducation is too early marriage.
Watch the strollers on a coeducational
campus on a bright Sunday afternoon. It
is really disgusting—if you think so. Watch
them saunter! That big husky youth in
a blue sweater with an orange letter on it
—his sideling swagger! And the sweet-young-
thing—her precise little steps, the
constant turning of her pretty head to flash
those enchanting eyes at her compainon.
Coeducation is not for everyone, probably
for no one. It is not for the man who
wishes for his masculine superiority to remain
uncontested.
Coeducation is not of any particular value
to the determined hermit. Nor the sweet
young daughter who wishes to simply have
an easy chair, 'sit on a nice cushion and
sew a fine seam". In fact, in every phase
of coeducation there seems to be a fault.
If the American people had but a slight
realization of the detrimental effects of
drinking and smoking upon the morals of
By C. W. Bell
yThe coeducational system seems to be
another of those "great and noble experiments"
that have been found a little short
in weight when put on the scales of time.
Does coeducation educate? Does it supply
the same or equal conditions for young men
and women to live and work in? Does it
encourage mutual influence of the opposite
sex? Coeducation does not educate unless
it accomplishes the two above mentioned
things. The girls and boys who were side
by side in high school have not been separated
on reaching college age. Maybe separation
would be better. If the man's mind
is identical with the woman's it is only common
sense that they should be placed under
the same influences or environment.
The term co-ed applies only to girls. The
girl is coeducated while the boy is educated.
Let's see if the co-eds are placed under the
same influences. It is true that men and
women go to the same classes, same rooms,
under the same instruction of the same faculty—
but, the faculty is usually composed
of men. In extra curricula matters the coeds
do not share equally. They are not admitted
to football; basketball is lagging,.
Maybe in this respect they resemble their
"lady-like" grandmothers who believe that
the men should be the sole representatives
of the athletic life of a college. The male
usually lives in a comfortable and often
luxurious fraternity house with a minimum
college regulation. Since there are no sorority
houses the co-ed usually lives in a
dormitory under strict college ruling. She
usually is compelled to retire at,a specific
hour whether she wants to or not, while the
male wanders about wherever he chooses
and he may stay out until the wee hours of
the morning if he so desires. Since the coeds
are not interested in forming independent
groups, forcible and active leaders fail
to stand out among them.

A pig is a pig because of having been
born a pig. He looks like a pig, and kind
of grunts like we think pigs should grunt.
He sits or even lies around in the mud, and
makes unethical sounds through his nose. ,
Only his nose is called a snout. He is very
ugly, and mud clings to him; flies use his
bristly hide for an airport, and he has no
pride. He is about the ugliest thing outside
of saying hell. Loathsome was inserted
in Webster's book after the great man had
seen a pig.
The dog is a beautiful animal. His eyes
are honesty brown, and his coat is prettier
than a $198.99 feminine^coat from Milady's

is dignified, loyal, and pets better than a
$10.98 blonde. Without hesitation it may
be said that a brace of big-footed, silky

than the most rabid mother's offspring in

It was at a dance in Miami. Seven Navy
men had escorted one girl to the dance. The
girl was in a black dress, only. Nothing
else was in the dress. There was a black
silk dress, a pair of sandals, and a girl. . . .
nothing more. The trio looked pretty good
without question, and if such a question
should arise the girl would quickly settle it
by quickly admitting that she, it, and them
were pretty.
She was asked about the lack of dress
material and what not. 9
"It's like this", she confided. "When half
is seen, half is imagined. Did you notice
the rush I'm getting?" .
One of the men happened to have attended
Georgia Tech. The next time he danced
with the girl he spake thusly: "Once I had
the most beautiful elephant bank imaginable.
He sat on the mantlepiece. He had
kind of a robe on him that showed half robe
and half elephant hide. It was very pretty.
Since I could see part of the elephant, and
and knowing he was a bank that I had put
money in, I could imagine my money was
still there. The only trouble with that elephant
was that several other people, seeing
part of the elephane, and recognizing what
he was, had all been there, before me, and
there was nothing to the elephant anymore.
By the way, you are getting a nice rush."

good until his prop hit a gull at three

ment as have been previously held.
Play will begin March 22 and last
until April 25.
Placing the fraternities in leagues
will allow each fraternity to play at
least 10 games, regardless of the number
won or lost. Each team must
play two games a week, and the league
standings will be published in the
Plainsman. At the conclusion of the
scheduled play, the winners of the two
leagues will meet in a play-off to determine
the championship. In case
however, the faculty team finishes
first in their league, they will not be
allowed to compete in the play-off, but
the team finishing second will be declared
winner.
Results of the games must be reported
to Joe* Sarver at the Phi Delta

is played. Officials for the games will
be decided upon by the contesting fraternities.

With Spring football offering the only major sports attraction on the
campus now, students can turn their attention to the excellent brand of
basketball that is being dished up by the fraternity teams that are in the
midst of the fight for the interfrat cup. Semi final and final play remains
now for this interesting race. The remaining games promise to be thrillers,
and while you are waiting for track and baseball to get in full swing,
come down to the gym Monday and Wednesday night and watch these strong
teams come down the home stretch.
Semi final play finds three teams
that were conceded chances at the
start of winning the cup. The showing
of the Sigma Nu, Theta Chi and
Alpha Gamma Rho teams has not
been a surprise to followers of this
sport. Theta Kappa Nu entered the
race as a dark horse, but their playing
has been everything that could
be desired of a championship contender.
Due to their overwhelming victory
over S. A. E. in the quarter
finals, Alpha Gamma Rho rules a
slight favorite to win the cup.
Plans are now under way to hold a
round robin in track between fraternity,
dormitory, and boarding house
teams. The plans are immature at
present, but it is hoped that a more
definite announcement can be made
next week. Coach Hutsell is working
on this at present. Interfraternity
competition offers non-fraternity students
no chance to participate in the
sports coming under its supervision.
The only disadvantage with this plan
is getting the non-fraternity students
into organized teams. Due to the fraternities,
their tpams have better supervision
and organization. So the success
of the undertaking will largely
rest upon the efforts of the non-fraternity
groups.
* * *
The second game between divisions
of the Spring football squad will be
held on Drake Field Saturday afternoon.
The members to represent each
division have not been determined, so
the line ups should be the same that
started last Saturday's game.
No definite date has been set by
Coach Meagher as the end of spring
practice. This date will depend on the
progress that is made by the squad
during the next week or two. Bad
weather at the start of practice caused
the Tiger mentor to continue the
practice farther than was anticipated
at the beginning of the sessions.
Several of the freshmen candidates
have shown up well in the practices
to date. Their main disadvantage has
been lack of experience, and due to
the strength of the regular team, the
first year men stand little chance of
breaking in as regulars on next fall's
team.
The best of end candidates seem to
be Oscar Burford and Milton Howell.
Burford has the best chance of the
freshmen to break in as a regular
next fall. Garth Thorpe is the standout
among the tackle candidates.
Everett Smith has the strength and
weight to become a valuable guard.
He should see a lot of service on next
season's team. Morgan is the best of
the centers, but he has no chance of
breaking in as a regular with Walter
Gilbert and Lester Antley on hand.
In Morris Cook the Tigers have one
of the best freshman quarterbacks in
years, but he is troubled with a bad
appendix and won't be able to see
much service until this is removed.
Marion Walker, Spec Kelly and Francis
Riddle are the best of the halfbacks
and are due for a lot of work
next fall. All are fast and powerful
runners. None of the freshmen fullbacks
have shown much promise.
• Thorpe, Walker and Kelly are suffering
from injuries, and it is doubtful
if they will be able to get in Saturday's
game.
A lot of improvement has been
shown by some of the reserves from
last year's team. Heath is looking
better at fullback, and with Kilgore
and McElroy will give Auburn
strength at the fullback post. Davis
has been doing some nice blocking at
quarterback in the practice. Travis
Vernon was shifted from end to fullback
and has been showing up weak
in the new position. Norman Whit-ten
was shifted from quarterback to
fullback and has shown considerable
improvement.
