Something Different Is Pro­vided
This Year In Initiation
Of Cadets By Military Group
CAMP IS PITCHED
Will Assume Role Of Indians
Tomorrow; Will Climax Day
With Banquet At Benson's
"It's going on now! Come see the
biggest show of the year," bawled
the bilious barker. And they came
and are still coming to stare with
mouths ajar and eyes popping at the
free for all show going on night and
day right here in Auburn.
Year after year the Scabbard and
Blade neophytes have fooled the pub­lic
with the same old show. This
year it is going to be different. They
may be common everyday cadets to-
' day, but wait until early tomorrow
morning when you will be awakened
from peaceful slumbers by the war
whoops of so many savage indians
parked, tepee and all, right in the
middle of Toomer's corner.
Beginning with a little exhibition
of plain and fancy drilling up and
down and all over town under the
strain of a full pack and an empty
stomach, the soldiers of fortune will
pitch tents in the square in front
of Ross. . There'll be no rest from
then on, not even during the night
when the hard packed ground will
serve as the only mattress for those
not keeping a watchful eye for pos­sible
intruders on the forbidden camp
ground. Yes, there will be guard
duty until daybreak, yea, even the
guard mount will be carried out in
a most military manner.
Students and townspeople will be
asked to refrain from loud noises as
Taps will be blown at 7 o'clock, and
each man will crawl into his tent to
be put to sleep by the steady stomp,
stomp, of the guard outside.
Guards will be instructed to keep
everybody off the camp area until
the break of morning, when the lo­cal
soldiers will be released from
duty long enough to don indian cos­tume
and take up their new abode
for the day on Toomer's Corner.
Co-eds are warned to view the ex­hibition
of savagery from a safe
distance, as it is understood the Au­burn
indians will be on a special
lookout for squaws, and everybody
is warned to be prepared when the
"Battle of the Millennium" gets un­derway
at 9 o'clock.
Climax of the whole dramatic af­fair
will be an indian play to be
given for the public's benefit at 10
o'clock, after which the annual fes­tivities
will be brought to a fitting
close with a banquet above Benson's.
At this time the co-ed chosen as hav­ing
the best shape, form, or what-have-
you, will be presented with a
handsome prize.

A. V.M. A. Hears Talk
By Duncan Wednesday
Dr. L. N. Duncan was the principle
speaker at the meeting last Wednes­day
night of the local student chap­ter
of the American Veterinary Med­icine
Association.
Discussed by Dr. Duncan was the
possibility of obtaining sidewalks
from the main college campus out to
Vet Hill, starting at the library, and
also a walk from that point to Ag
Hill. At present this project is be­ing
worked on by Mr. Shell Toomer.
The Auburn Vet School was dis­cussed
at length by Dr. Duncan, who
stated that the school here was the
only one south of the Ohio River and
east of the Mississippi, and that the
possibilities for the development of
the school into one of national im­portance
were favorable. The only
problem at present being the lack of
sufficient money to construct more
buildings and add new equipment.
The local chapter of A. V. M. A.
holds regular meetings on Wednes­day
nights.
Having learned that Bob Mercer
would not be back to school this year,
the local chapter of Tau Beta Pi at
a meeting last night elected B. D.
Godbold as president of the society
this year in place of Mercer.
Godbold will leave Auburn next
week for Detroit where he will rep­resent
the local Tau Beta Pi chapter
at the national convention to be held
in that city for six days beginning
on Wednesday.
This convention is held every year
at which time delegates from the 50
or more chapters throughout the
country get together to map out plans
for the coming year of Tau Beta Pi.
Aside from the regular business
sessions, the delegates will be enter­tained
in numerous ways. They will
make a trip of inspection through the
Edison and Ford plants in Detroit
and witness a major football contest
during their stay there. The con­vention
will close with a formal ban­quet
and dance for the delegates.
Election of seniors to membership
in the society will be held within the
next three Weeks. Election to the
society is the highest honor that can
be bestowed upon an engineering stu­dent
while in college. Anywhere
from 10 to 20 new members are
chosen each fall.
Official figures from the Regis­trar's
office yesterday gave the final
enrollment figure for the first semes­ter
of the year as 2153 against 1728
enrolled at this time last year.
The freshman class numbers 798
in comparison to 617 for last year,
representing an increase of nearly
30 per cent as was predicted at the
beginning of the year.
Enrollment in the other classes is:
sophomore, 557; junior, 356, and sen­ior,
378. The comparative figures of
last year were 414, 345, and 297,
respectively.
A total of eight students are en­rolled
in fifth year architecture, 45
in graduate study, and 11 in special
courses.
With 541 students enrolled this
semester, the School of Engineering
is the largest scool on the campus.
A close second is the School of Sci­ence
and Literature with 453 en­rolled.
Other schools and their respective
enrollment is as follows: Agriculture,
213; Architecture and Allied Arts,
111; Chemistry and Pharmacy, 223;
Engineering, 541; Education, 358;
Home Economics, 78; Science and
Literature, 453; and Veterinary Med­icine,
176. These figures also include
special and graduate students.
There are 25 more co-eds at Au­burn
this year in comparison to last
year. The figures are 250 and 225,
respectively.
In comparison with other colleges
throughout the country, Auburn's in­crease
in enrollment far excels most
other colleges. The average enroll­ment
increase for all colleges and
universities is about 12 per cent. Au­burn's
increase is nearly 20 per cent.

Student delegates from ten Alabama colleges began arriving today as
final plans for the Alabama Methodist Student Conference were completed.
Registration starts at 3 P. M. this afternoon, and approximately 75 repre­sentatives
are expected for the three-day session.
Many outstanding speakers are list­ed
on the conference program. Dr.
James W. Workman, of the Univer­sity
of Arkansas, will deliver the key­note
address, "Christian Students in
Action", tonight at 7:45.
Other prominent speakers who will
take part in the conference-include
Dean Dabney S. Lancaster, of the
University of Alabama, Dr. Walter
D. Agnew, president of Huntingdon
College, Dr. Harvey C. Brown, Gen­eral
Board of Christian Education,
Nashville, James W. Hardwick, State
Y. M. C. A. Secretary.

Dean Zebulon Judd will be toast-master
at the banquet which will be
held tomorrow night.
Visiting delegates will be housed
in private homes, dormitories and fra­ternities
through town.
Dr. Workman will deliver the con­ference
sermon at the eleven o'clock
service Sunday.
Lieut. Col. G. H. Franke is the
first speaker scheduled on the list
of lectures to be delivered this year
at the O. R. C. meetings planned for
the first Monday and third Tuesday
of each month in the Engineer class­room
in the north basement of Sam-ford
Hall. •
• The first meeting of the year will
be held Monday night at 7:30 o'clock,
with Col. Franke speaking on "The
Ethiopian Situation". Also at that
time the class will be organized. The
school will meet for two hours each
time. Other lectures will be given
during the course of the year by of­ficers
on duty with the R.O.T.C. unit
here and by visiting lecturers desig­nated
by the Fourth Corps Area
Headquarters.
Other speakers and their subjects
include the following:
October 22, lecturer and subject
chosen by Fourth Corps Area Hand-quarters;
November 4, "Strategy of
High Command—the Battle of Pi:
cardy, March 1918", Lieut. H. W.
Ehrgott; November 19, same as for
Oct. 22; December 2, "The Big Ber­tha",
Capt. H. L. Watts; December
17, same as for Oct. 22; January 6,
"Defense of the Hawaiian Islands",
Lieut. R. E. M. Deslslets'; February
3, "Joint Overseas Expeditions",
Capt. T. L. Futch; February 18, same
as for Oct. 22; March 2, "Motoriza­tion
of Divisional Light Artillery",
(Continued on page 4)
Again this year students have
shown poor cooperation in having
their pictures taken for the Glom­erata
says Blake Campbell, business
manager. The schedule was planned
for 70 pictures being taken each
day, but up to the present on an
average of only 60 pictures have been
taken daily.
This delay, according to Campbell,
is due to the fact that students have
failed to report at their appointed
time. The number of post cards sent
out each day has been gradually in­creased
to 100 with the hopes that the
required 70 will appear at the ap­pointed
time.
Don Johnson, photographer, will
be in Auburn only four more weeks
to complete his work. The date class
pictures for the senior and junior
classes have been only partially com­pleted,
with the sophomore and fresh­man
class, the largest group, yet to
be taken.
Students have also failed to come
back and look at their proofs. If the
Glomerata this year is to come out
on schedule, the class picture section
will have to be completed within the
next 3 weeks. Those who failed to
appear at the appointed time are
asked to go by the Glomerata office
as soon as possible and either get
another appointment or have their
picture made at that time should the
photographer not be busy. Sopho­more
pictures will be taken all next
week, and freshman pictures the two
weeks following.
Other work on the annual has pro­gressed
rapidly, and it is hoped that
alT'copy' willbe in the hands' of the
printers by the middle of February.
It is planned that the book this year
be even larger than that published
last year.
James Tyson Is Elected Presi­dent
of Group; Ward, Far­ley,
Butler In Other Positions
New Officers of Keys were elected
Wednesday night in the first annual
meeting of the society at the Lambda
Chi house. James Tyson, Pi Kappa
Phi, was elected president; Bob Ward,
Lambda Chi, vice-president; Flake
Farley, A. T. O., secretary; and Earl
Butler, Lambda Chi, treasurer.
Keys is a social-interfraternity or­ganization
taking its members from
the various fraternities on the cam­pus.
Its purpose is essentially the
promotion of good fellowship and
better co-operation among the mem­bers
of campus fraternities. It is
the only honor a man can make dur­ing
his freshman year.
A tapping committee was appoint-'
ed by the president and plans were
laid for a dance at which the tapping
ceremony will be held. Four socials
are to be held by the society this
year in contrast to the two functions
of former years. This includes two
dances and a banquet in the'fall, and
a weiner roast in the spring.
Prospects for Keys are bright and
a big year is anticipated. Plans have
been laid to spread its membership
to all fraternities not now listed on
«
the society's roll. In thus enlarging
the scope of the society its purpose
can be fulfilled to a greater degree.
By Eugene Lee
The Tigers open against their first
conference foe of the year when they
battle the Tulane eleven in New Or­leans
tomorrow afternoon. Coach
Meagher and his squad departed last
night with a big crowd on hand to
give them a rousing send-off.
This game is the principal intra-conference
match on this week's of­fering.
The attention of the entire
South will be centered on the out­come
of this game. Both teams made
great starts into their schedules by
outstanding inaugural victories. Au­burn
goes into the game with an
improved team over last year's, while
Tulane has a new team whose
strength is a mystery. The odds on
the outcome are about even. Out­siders
contend that Tulane has lost
none of the power of last year's
team, while Auburn has an improved
team to back their chances of scor­ing
a revenge for last year's 13-0
loss.
Gone are the stars who carried the
Green Wave to a place beside Ala­bama
as last year's co-champions of
the Southeastern Conference. The
Greenies are depending this season
on outstanding sophomores and re­serves
from last year's squad. The
Wave inaugurated the season Satur­day
with a 44-0 victory over V.M.I.
They showed strength in passing and
running plays in smothering the
Southern Conference team.
The Tigers will go into the game
.without the services of Hugh Rod­gers,
star tackle. Rodgers has been
sick all the week, and he is definitely
out of the game. This was a serious

are urged to attend.
Last Year's Annuals
Be Given Out Monday
Students who did not receive their
Glomerata last year will be able to
obtain the same from the Glomerata
office beginning Monday.
Those who did not attend school
first semester of' last year will be

The A.S.M.E. will hold its regular
meeting Monday evening at 7 P.M.
at 109 Ramsay Hall. O. D. Nichols
will give a speech on fuels. All Me­chanicals
and Aeronauticals are in­vited.
In accordance with having the
highest enrollment in the history of
the college, the number of transfer
students this semester is the highest
recorded for any regular term. The
figures from the Registrar's office
show a total of 103.
Twenty-one different colleges and
universities in 10 states are repre­sented
by the transfer students here*
The area covered extends as far east
as New York and as far west as Kan­sas.
Huntington College in Montgomery
is represented by the greatest num­ber
of transfer students, nine having
attended there before registering this
year at Auburn, while six students
attended Birmingham-Southern last
year and five Mississippi Women's
State College. The remaining 83
were evenly distributed among 18
higher institutions of learning.
Of these 103 transfer students, 85
are boys and 27 girls, the ratio of
girls to boys being somewhat higher
among the transfer students than the
.entire student body.

College Auditorium Needed
Much has been said but little actually
done toward the addition to the Auburn
campus of a student union building. At no
other time in the past has the need for
such a structure been so necessary as it is
today. And this need will be greater from
year to year as Auburn's enrollment con­tinues
to increase at the present rate.
Many times during the course of the
school year there arise numerous situations
which require the entire assembled student
body. With Langdon Hall seating not more
than 700 students, is is impossible to even
get the freshman class together, much less
the other three classes. Auburn is probably
the only school of its size in the country
that does not have an adequate auditorium
or student union where the student body
can meet together as an integral unit.
On other occasions during the year the
Auburn Players as well os other groups,
both loeal and otherwise, are handicapped
by the antiquated facilities of Langdon Hall.
The electrical set-up used in past years
by the Players for productions in Langdon
Hall was declared unsafe by fire insurance
underwriters. Regardless of this fact the
plays were presented, with extreme precau­tion
being taken against the possible danger
of fire. During some performances the main
electrical line was even taxed beyond the
safe limit.
Few realize the vast amount of equipment
and the intricate maze of wires and elec­trical
contacts used by dramatic groups to
produce the best possible effects" in stage
lighting. Langdon Hall is notably lacking
in this respect. •
Much has been said during the past two
years and considerable action taken toward
the building of an athletic stadium. Under
the old P.W.A. work was actually started
on the project behind the artillery stables,
but petered out as did many such projects
all over the country. At present federal
funds are again being asked to continue
the work.
It is true that Auburn could use a good
stadium of this sort. But the question aris­es
as to which is more needed at Auburn—
a student union building or a stadium. We
believe the former to be by far the more
desired need at the present time.
The initiative for the stadium is being
taken largely by local business men for
obvious reasons. This group has been in­strumental
in many ways in the growth of
Auburn. Another group reported to be
working for Auburn's betterment is the
Alumni Association. But one wonders what
this very loyal body has actually done for
Auburn during the past several years. Ac­tually
they have done nothing. No one
doubts but what they are anxious to see
Auburn become a bigger and better school,
but when definite action is required the buck
is passed to so many hands that it is finally
lost track of and the issue goes out like a
light.
True, Auburn is indebted to the Alumni
for the gymnasium now used and named in
their honor. But that was long ago, and
the time is now at hand for them to get
together and map out plans for an Auburn
Auditorium, a structure that will be a cred­it
to the institution.
Auburn vs. Alabama
Again this year the matter is brought up
concerning the possibility of resuming ath­letic
relations between Auburn and Ala­bama.
It is the opinion held by many here
that the situation which exists today, be­tween
the two schools has gone far enough.
Anybody will admit that it is a bit childish
and that there is no real reason why Au­burn
and Alabama should not meet to­gether
in football.
Naturally, there is a keen rivalry exist­ing,
but this should be all the more reason
for athletic relations. Such makes for sport
in its highest form. Georgia plays Tech
every year which serves to only cement more
strongly the friendly and understanding re­lations
between the two colleges. In like
manner would a football game between Au­burn
and Alabama go far toward smoothing
out some of the misunderstandings held by
each school against the other. Athletic re­lations
were broken many years ago, and
there is no reason to believe today that the
same causes exist that existed at that time.
The trouble is mostly just an idea or feeling
that continued from year to year without
any real excuse for its being.
Last fall the American Legion attempted
to force the two schools into a game by a
legislative act. This, of course, is the poor­est
of all ways to solve the problem. In fact
it never will be solved by force, but instead
by common sense. We believe that Auburn
is anxious and ready to resume athletic re­lations
with her sister school Alabama, that
the time is now at hand when definite action
either one way or the other should be taken.
"Well, I'll Swear"
The two recently chosen cheerleaders
probably did a little silent swearing when
they discovered to their disappointment that
they would have to pay all costs to football
games. It ,was taken for granted by the
two, that should they get the job, they would
naturally be given at least a free pass to the
games by the Athletic Committee. • But, no
such soap. They will have to cut up and
out for nothing at all but their own en­joyment.
After all it would look a bit silly for the
Auburn cheering section at a football game
to be without cheerleaders. Only the head
cheerleader we have learned, receives his
expenses paid to the games, the other three
make out the best way they can. This
seems a bit unfair when it is considered that
^he cheerleaders contribute as much toward
excitement of a football game as does the
band, all members which get their trans­portation
and admission to the games paid
in compensation for their work. It seems
only fair that all cheerleaders should receive
the same compensation. It would be but a
small added cost to the Athletic Committee
and would go far toward bringing the Au­burn
cheering section up to par with other
colleges.
Auburn's cheerleading quartet has been
practicing since the last game in an effort
to develop several original stunts to be per­formed
at future games. All acts require
that each of the four does his part. But it
has been learned that one of the cheer­leaders
will be unable to make the remain­ing
football games because of financial rea­sons.
Naturally, this is going to throw a
wrench into what promises to be the first
real cheerleading group that Auburn has
had for several years.
From the Copy Basket
A large number of the freshmen that
enter college have no definite conception of
—as it is generally termed—"what it is all
about." True, you are entering a new en­vironment
but you must either make out
your schedule of procedure and follow it as
near as possible or go about your college
career in a hit or miss manner.
In a lecture to.one of his freshman classes
last year, the professor dropped the point
that college men have three suits of college
life from which to choose their trump—
Spades, Hearts, and Clubs.
The suit of spades includes conscientious
labor upon scholastic work. It is the gen­eral
understanding that one comes to college
to prepare himself for his life's work, faith­ful
digging will accomplish this task. Cam­pus
activities, justly considered, are in­cluded
to their rightful degree.
The suit of hearts—better perhaps, ro­mance—
may be chosen as the trump card
in one's attending college. But this institu­tion
is not blessed with equal numbers of
the two sexes. Therefore this question
should not command a serious thought, al­though
a number may waste considerable
time before they stop to think..
The last suit is the one of clubs which
may dazzle some of the freshmen beyond
their wits—nay, common rat-sense. There
is no doubt that clubs and lodges, in their
right position, are almost indispensible to
the college. They afford the social contacts,
recreation, and general help that is essen­tial.
By all means consider this last suit
but not to the extreme.

EVERY YEAR there arises the same
old problem of Auburn's inadequate
accomodation of student get togethers.
Langdon Hall with all it's sentiment and
years of service has filled it's place as a
college auditorium. The inadequacy of au­ditorium
space is one of the most outstand­ing
weaknesses of the Auburn campus at
present.
But relief of this situation is not im­possible.
In his message to the Auburn
Alumni in the summer Alumnus, Maurice
I Bloch, president of the Alumni Associa­tion,
points out that forty per cent of the
dues of the members of the Alumni Asso­ciation
are set aside to be used "for any
need of Auburn for which funds are not
available." President Block mentions some­thing
about the funds possibly being used
for scholarships or maybe a building if
membership grows enough to warrant such
an ambitious project.
Why should not the association set as a
goal an auditorium for Auburn? Scholar­ships
are fine for students and for the
school itself, but the enrollment of Auburn
is such now that thought should be given
to something beside increase of enrollment
and the bringing of more students here until
something is done to accommodate those
students who are already attending Auburn.
With the number of years Auburn has
been turning out graduates, the Alumni
Association should be able with a concen­trated
drive raise enough money to build
for Auburn an auditorium worthy of the
size school she has become during the past
several years. Let's see Auburn grow from
the ground up. Care must be taken not to
let the institution get too top heavy. •

"Deacon" had a good story about the
opening dances which he refused to tell for
quite a while. Finally he decided it was
too good to keep so he thought he would
share it with some of his friends. And it
got around.
It seemed that one of the campus play­boys
brought his date to the dance on Satur­day
night and sent her up her side. When
he started up he encountered several people
desiring to talk things over. Then all of
a sudden he was grabbed by the arm and
whisked out of the gym and away on some
important mission. ' Around eleven he re­turned
and decided to take on a little danc­ing.
Imagine the happy feeling he had
when he remembered he had forgotten to'
meet his date at the top of the landing.
"Deacon" happened to be on hand and saw
the forlorn miss standing at the door with­out
an escort, and having met her before,
asked her to dance. "Deacon" is not the
kind of fellow to be quoted, but he said it
was a menacing look the lady gave her
date when he came prancing up for a dance.
Think how the forgetful felt.
* * * *
One of "Deacon's" favorite tales has to
do with some of the folk back home. There
are a couple of families, the Upjohns living
at the top of a hill and the Downjohns liv­ing
at the bottom. There had never been
much friendliness lost between the two, but
everything the Downjohns had to say about
the Upjohns they said in the bosom of the
family, because they knew if the Upjohns
got wind of anything they would stuff leaves
in the waterpipe leading from the spring
down the hill and there would be no water
for Junior's bath.
When Mary Upjohn was to-be-married,
Mrs. Downjohn was invited to the wedding.
She knew this was just a slap in the face
because Mary was going to marry the high
school principal who had jilted Mrs. Down-john's
favorite daughter.
Mr. and Mrs. Downjohn discussed the
thing over and over and finally decided the
only thing for her to do was go to the
wedding. So she bought a double boiler and
wrapped it up all nice in tissue paper and
started off up the hill.
You should h*ear "Deacon" tell about Mrs.
Downjohn climbing up the hill with a big
bundle under her arm and a purple morning
glory in her hat. She bustled up to the
front door and since she thought she was
late, pushed on in the house. The guests
were all lined around the wall waiting. But
no Bridegroom. This gave Ma Downjohn a
lot of satisfaction but she went over and
patted red eyed Mary on the back and kind
of mothered her up.
Just about this time Mrs. Upjohn saw the
'bridegroom coming up the hill. She wanted
to make a big impression on her future
son-in-law, so she began herding all her
guests out the back door.
Only "Deacon" can tell you how Mrs.
Downjohn liked this herding business. She
jerked around, gave a flip of her head to
Mrs. Upjohn and walked back into the
living room. Mrs. Upjohn was trying to
get the crowd out the back door and around
the house to keep the bridegroom from
thinking she had to wait on him. But Ma
Downjohn balked. This was the kind of
A warning to you guys going to New Orleans—hold your hats.

Auburn's First Football Game
In Which Dr. Petrie Again Writes For The Plainsman, This Time Telling
Of Auburn's First Game, Which Happened To Be Against
The Georgia Bulldogs In Atlanta
In he fall of 1891 we undertook to bring
out of the confusion of mass football at
Auburn.
All that fall we practiced on the old drill
ground back of the main college building,
or, as we should now say, between Sam-ford
Hall and the Gymnasium.
The University of Virginia and the Uni­versity
of North Carolina had already in­troduced
a modification of the English Rug­by
game. I 'made a trip to the University
of Virginia, my Alma Mater, and got all
the fine points that I could get from their
famous player Addison Greenway and from
H. S. Hedges, who was an old friend of
mine and was playing on their team.
At the University of Georgia they were
beginning to play the regular game under
the leadership of my friend, Dr. Charles
Herty. Later in the season, as we both be­gan
to feel that we were learning the game,
a match was arranged between our two
teams. The date was set for February the
22nd, 1892, and Atlanta was the natural
meeting point.
At Auburn we strained our financial re­sources
and bought uniforms for the team,
but we used them very seldom in our prac­tice.
We were trying to keep them clean
for the great game with Georgia.
Shortly before the game I visited Athens
to make some final arrangements. I shall
never forget the cordial welcome given me
there. The men who were in charge in­sisted
that I should come out and see their
team practice. I protested that it might not
be fair for me to do so, but they overruled
me. Their team seemed to me to play
beautifully, and I returned to Auburn
filled with admiration for their skill and
good sportsmanship. '
A football game was then quite a novelty
to the people in Atlanta. We were very un­certain
as to what the attendance would be.
The newspapers gave us good .publicity, and
we wrote articles for them explaining how
the game was played and giving them per­sonal
points about the individual players.
When the time came, the Georgia boys
and their friends arrived on a special train.
We also had a train of our own consisting
of two coaches. One was filled with boys
from Starke's School in Montgomery, who
were eager to see the game, and the other
with our team and their friends. Both
trains were decorated with college colors.
The famous old Kimball house was head­quarters
for both teams. The Georgia boys
naturally felt at home and made the whole
place ring with "Rah! Rah! Georgia!". It
was wonderfully effective. I still think it
the finest college yell in the world. We
replied with:
"Rah rah, ree
Rah rah ree
Alabama
A. M. C."
chance she had been waiting for. A few
hot words followed and she dived in the
corner and began digging in the pile of
tissue paper. She found her double boiler
and pulled out down the hill. Since then
the Downjohns have dug a well because the
pipe has been stuffed with leaves ever since.
Leave it to "Deacon" to get the low down.
The A. M. C. stood for Agricultural and
Mechanical College, which was then the
name of our institution. Somehow we
couldn't get much punch in it. Their yell
was a war cry. Ours sounded like a mild
announcement.
Our team went out to the grounds on a
street car. The Georgia team had a "tally-ho".
If you don't know what a "tally-ho"
is, imagine a beautiful, long, open bus-like
affair drawn, if I remember correctly, by
four fine horses and brilliantly decorated
with the college colors. It certainly had
style. The day was dark and rainy, and
we were very anxious to see what the at­tendance
would be. When we got to the
park one glance at the stands made us
happy. They were filled. The newspapers
stated that there were five thousand present,
but I think this was an over-estimate.
1
The play began and so did the rain.
Those beautiful new uniforms were quickly
a mass of mud. But who cared? The play­ers
did not know it was raining and those
in the stands soon got so excited that they
forgot it. Some of the finer points of the
Georgia play got lost in the mud, and man
for man the teams were well matched.
As I look back on it after all these years
the things that stand out in my mind are
the remarkable punting of our fullback
Barnwell, the elusive running of Dutch Dor-sey,
and the cool generalship of our captain
Frank Lupton. But, as every football man
knows, these could not have materialized
if our line had not held. Auburn lines have
long been famous. That was our first one
and it set a fine example for those that
came later. The referee, who was an old
Princeton man, said after the game that
"the blocking of the Georgia team was beau­tiful,
but the Auburn men played more like
a Yale or a Princeton team".
Auburn won by the score of ten to zero,
but the teams were more evenly matched
than the score would indicate, and the re­sult
was in doubt up to the end.
I have had many happy moments, but not
often, if ever, have I been as happy as I
was when that game was over. Many staid
and perfectly sober citizens in the grand­stand
acted like crazy youngsters. One
charming and gentle lady from Auburn in
her excitement broke her parasol over the
head and shoulders of a gentleman in front
of her whom she had never seen before.
Two strange men in their enthusiasm
after the game grabbed our big center and
before anyone could stop them hustled him
into their buggy, squeezed him in between
them, all muddy as he was, and drove back
to the Kimball House shouting:
"Rah Rah Ree
Alabama
A. B. C."
The old Kimball House seemed much more
home-like after our victory. The Georgia
boys took their defeat like good sports. The
two teams mingled freely in the great hotel
lobby. The friendly feeling between the
two institutions which was so manifest then
has continued to this day. Much of it I
tribute to the influence of Dr. Charles
Herty, who was then and for many years
afterwards the guiding spirit in athletics at
the University of Georgia.

* * * * ' .
ONCE UPON A TIME. Yes, there
was a time when Auburn did not
have a dining place or theatre to
boast of. Not so today! To date, we have
three of the most modern and well appointed
cafes to be found anywhere, and a theatre
that is equal to most and better than many
in places the size of the Village of the
Plains. Do the students here realize the
improvement of their lot over that of the
students of the past? To all outward ap­pearances
the answer is a loud "NO".
These appearances are manifest in the
general conduct of Mr. Average Student
while enjoying the above mentioned estab­lishments
have to offer. At the cafes, burn­ed
napery and scarred or carved furnishings
are the everyday "ear marks" that students
use them. It seems increditable to mention
that cutlery and dishes are no longer taken
as souvenirs, but rather with an eye to the
future. While visiting in a fellow student's
room the other night he showed me an al­most
complete set of cutlery and with a
certain pride. He added, "one never knows
when such might come in handy."
At the theatre the same traits are demon­strated.
Loud and even profane comments
are liable to be heard at any time during the
performance. Then there is the fellow who
must needs be told that smoking is not al­lowed
in the theatre because of fire. Those
are the more potent illuses of the only show
in Auburn. Removal of seat covers and
cutting the cushions with knives seem to
be accepted as the things to do.
Such things caused a man, who is sup­posed
to know, to say the average of the
Auburn Student's I.Q. is much below that
of the local high school. I don't know, but
what's the matter fellows—don't we appre­ciate
the improvements as they come to us?
* * * *
FROM A VERY RELIABLE SOURCE.
Auburn co-eds are becoming more worldly.
They no longer buy their smokes by the
package but rather cigars—one at a time.
Ask the faculty, they should know.

SPEAKING OF THE THEATRE. We
are about to see what I thought the best
musical show yet, Gracie Allen and George
give it t h a t . . . you know. Gracie Allen and
George Burns suffered such an attack of
homesickness for vaudeville during the pro­duction
of the Paramount comedy, "The
Big Broadcast of 1936" which will be at
the Tiger over the weekend, that they prac­ticed
their old dance routines between scenes
of the picture.
The "Big Broadcast of 1936", which pre­sents
the largest array of stars yet, centers
around the humorous hair-raising adven­tures
of two radio performers whom air
wave fans think one person. The story fol­lows
the lives of the two boys through the
episode of meeting a-beautiful young count­ess
who kidnaps them until she can decide
wfiich of them to marry. Their efforts to
escape, in which they unwittingly take part
in an international broadcasting contest,
forms one of the hilarious sequences of the
comedy.
Ethel Merman goes into action with the
song, "It's the Animal in Me".

Upset, Georgia, Florida Im­pressive;

A glance at the results of football
contests engaging teams in the South­eastern
Conference reveals that
there was one major upset and nu­merous
drubbings handed out.
The major upset was the tying of
Alabama by Howard. After last
year's record the Red Raiders were
expected to run roughshod over the
comparatively weak Howard eleven,
which proves that records don't mean
everything.
The highest score of the week-end
was made by Ole Mississippi when
they pushed the Memphis Teachers
all over the lot to amass 92 points
while the Teachers had to be content
with an immense 0 on the scoreboard.
Vanderbilt, rated as a strong team,
had difficulty in defeating Missis­sippi
State 14-9. However, both
teams showed plenty of power and
should be sore spots in any team's
schedule.
Rice and L- S. U. had a great

Tryouts for the freshman tank
team were concluded Wednesday,
October 2, at the Alumni Gymnasium
pool and Coach Gordan McKinney
picked the team that will represent
Auburn at the freshman swimming
meets this year. Twelve men made
the grade out of thirty-five appli­cants
that reported for practice on
Monday and Tuesday.
This year's frosh team, according
to Coach McKinney, should be the
best in Auburn's history. All of the
applicants swam against time and
the marks made by this year's squad
were far better than any previous
freshman group.
Those that have been chosen as
members of the tank squad are: Al­len
Wingo, Jack Monger, Cecil Con­ner,
Jim Lyons, Carl Chambers, Bud
Garcia, Alvin Vogtle, Charles Chitty,
Donald McCollough, R. W. O'Donnell,
Worth McQue, and Allen Babcock.
According to Coach McKinney, Al­len
Wingo and Jack Monger are two
of tne brightest prospects on the
squad. Swimming the 50 yard free
style, Wingo clipped it off in 28 sec­onds,
while Monger was a second be­hind
with 29. Both of these men
made unusually good time for pre­season
swimming.
McCollough and O'Donnell per­formed
well in the backstroke while
Babcock gave a good performance in
the breaststroke. McQue and Cham­bers,
also a free styler, will do the
diving for the frosh tank team. The
other men mentioned will swim in the
free style events.
Of course the team is rather rag­ged
at present but with plenty of
hard practice, they will soon round
into tip-top shape.

Auburn showed a great improve­ment
over last year when they de­feated
Birmingham-Southern by the
score of 25-7. The forewall is one
of the best in the country, but the
backs lack polish. However, the
team should make a creditable show­ing
this year.
Florida came out on the long end
of a 34-0 score when they met Stet­son
last week. The high-light of the
game came when Duke Warren inter­cepted
a pass and ran 87 yards for
a touchdown.
The Tennessee-Southwestern game
proved to be a dull affair with Tenn­essee
emerging victorious 20-0. The
only thrill came when Sam Sharpe
ran 48 yards through the Southwest­ern
team for a tally.
Tulane exhibited a strong attack
when they ran V. M. I. ragged to win
44-0. How they will fare against the
Conference teams remains to be seen.
Kentucky's gridders accredited
themselves honorably as the defeated
Xavier 21-7 in a rather dull game.
With one game under their belts
the Conference teams should appear
at their full strength this week.
Their opponents this week' will, be:
Alabama-George Washington
Auburn-Tulane
FIorida-V.P.I.
Georgia-Chattanooga
Georgia Tech-Sewanee
Kentucky-Ohio State
L. S. U.-Texas
Ole Mississippi-Southwestern
Miss. State-MillsapsH night 4th)
Tennessee-North Carolina
Vanderbilt-Cumberland.
Cross-country is now well under
way with a large squad practicing
daily for the forthcoming meet with
Georgia Tech on Saturday, October
26th. The Tech harriers are reputed
to be in fine condition and will un­doubtedly
furnish the Auburn team
with plenty of competition. A large
crowd is expected to attend the meet,
which will be held in Auburn. Coach
Hutsell is looking forward to a great
deal of support from the student
body.
The squad is composed of 15 mem­bers—
Bill Emery, who is captain of
the team, Powers, Chandler, Stinson,
Cothran, Steppe, Lee, Chambers,
Dunning, Oates, Barlow, Gresham,
Morris, Arruza, and Duncan. Three
of the greatest distance runners
known in the history of Auburn
track teams—Captain Carl Pihl, Lin-wood
Funchess, and Ed Gait—are
lost to the team this year as they
graduated last June. These three
men were the backbone of last year's
team and will be sorely missed this
season.
At present, only 'two meets have
been arranged, but others are being
considered. Besides Georgia Tech,
the team will meet the University of
Florida in Gainsville on November
16th.

After the smoke of the battle with
the Panthers Friday night had clear­ed
away, the Tigers could look back
over their performance in Cramton
Bowl with the satisfaction of know­ing
that they had made a great be­ginning
of their murderous schedule.
Coach Meagher's team showed
power and promise in every depart­ment.
His team struck fast and hard
in the early part of the game. The
game had only started before two
touchdowns had been scored from
six plays. After the Tiger mentor
had removed the entire line with the
exception of Gilbert and inserted
Hitchcock into the backfield, the
team still carried on to show that the
reserve strength was good.
Hitchcock during his stay in the
game branded himself as the likely
answer to Auburn's -need of a triple-threat
in the backfield. This broth­er
of Auburn's famous backfield
coach starred in running plays and
punting and the way he returned
punts would gladden the heart of
any coach.
Pass' defense and offense received
a good test. Of the eleven passes
attempted by the Panthers only three
were completed for a total of thirty
yards. This was remarkable when it
is considered that McKay, one of
the best backs of the Dixie Confer­ence,
was doing the tossing. Pass
offense showed to advantage as the
Panthers had nearly the same back-field
as they had last year to break
up Auburn's passing attempts.
The line was slow in charging in
sometimes and as a,consequence the
offense would bog down. On the
whole the blocking was good for so
early in the season. Tipper, Hitch­cock,
Karam, and Kilgore showed
power in running plays.
Auburn did .not show its real
strength Friday night. With so many
changes being made in the lineup at
different times during the progress
of the game, this naturally took away
balance and coordination. The Ti­gers
should be a power in Southeast­ern
football circles toward the end
of the season.

Relations Began in 1906 When Tigers Snowed Green Wave
Under With Score Of 3 3 To 0 ; Tulane Has Not Lost Game
To Southern Team Since 1933 W h e n Defeated By Auburn
Auburn and Tulane have been
playing football with each other for
29 years, playing 15 games in that
time. During this span of time Au­burn
has won six games, lost seven,
and two affairs ended in a deadlock.
It seems that the Tigers have been
a "jinx" team for the Green Wave,
dating back to 1926. It's not exact­ly
a superstition either; it is based
on facts. Auburn meets Tulane in
New Orleans Saturday, in the big
Southeastern Conference game of the
week, and here's a few facts to back
up the "jinx" bug-a-boo.
It all started in 1926 when Tulane
invited Auburn to play in the dedica­tion
of its new stadium. Tulane was
a heavy favorite but the Plainsmen
held the Greenbacks well and ruined
the dedication ceremony by getting a
safety in the third period. The game
ended Auburn 2, Tulane 0.
In 1927, Auburn was able to tie
Tulane, 6-6, in New Orleans, Calla­han
scampering 85 yards to score the
tally for the Tigers. Auburn had had
a bad season that year and this tie
with Tulane was considered a moral
victory.
Tulane stated one of the greatest
of all football victory records back
in October, 1928—a record of not
losing a game to a Southern team—
and that march continued unbroken
right down to October, 1932. Au­burn
finally broke that record. Jim­my
Hitchcock and his mates ruined
it with a smashing 19-7 victory.
In 1933, Tulane, after a wobbly
start, beat Maryland and Georgia
Tech and only had Auburn between
it and the big Colgate game, which
they wanted to enter with a clean
slate. Auburn had lost to Georgia
Tech and George Washington. How­ever
the Tigers upset the Green
Wave, winning, 13-7, with Kimbrell
starring.
Tulane hasn't lost a game to a
Southern team since that defeat at
the hands of Auburn in October,
1933. All Auburn fans are hoping
that the Tigers will duplicate their
performance in the '32 game this
Saturday.

blow for the Auburn team, as it was
hoped that the full strength of the
Plainsmen could be thrown against
the Green Wave in this important
game. Either Holman or Roton will
start at Rodgers' position.
Big Sam McCrosky will probably
start at guard instead of Sivell, the
sophomore who took his place in the
opening game against Birmingham-
Southern. With the exception of the
changes at guard and tackle the line­up
will probably be the same that
faced the Panthers last Friday night
. at the opening whistle.
Strange and Captain Mutt Morris
will start at the end positions.
Strange was the target for most of
Hitchcock's passes in the Panther
game and came through in great
style. Morris scored one of Auburn's
touchdowns on an end-around play
and stood out in his line play.
Paterson's play was not up to
standard, but has was just recouper-ating
from an injury and should be
in good condition for the Green
Wave.
Gilbert's play'at center on defense
and offense placed him as the out­standing
lineman of either team.
Hitchcock will receive his first test
of conference competition against
the Greenies. His play in the Pan­ther
game was sensational at times.
Karam, Hitchcock, Tipper, and Kil-gore
gave the Tigers strength in run­ning
plays and compare equally as
well as the fast backs of Tulane.

Ethiopian Situation
Studied At IRC Meet
Professor 0. T. Ivey, in his talk to
the International Relations Club last
Tuesday night, stated that war be­tween
Ethiopia and Italy is inevit­able.
Professor Ivey's subject was
"The League of Nations in the Crisis
with Abyssinia".
"The situation in Europe today is
the result of a series of miscalcula­tions.
The condition is very similar
to the condition which existed prior
to 1914." Some of these miscalcu­lations
as Professor Ivey calls them
are: The League of Nations is taking
a prominent part in an International
controversy for the first time since
its formation, France has joined Eng­land
in a kind of treaty, England
misjudged the Italians military and
naval strength, and as conditions are
now, the attacking nation will lose
in the end.
The League of Nations is now com­posed
of 59 countries, but there are
only four great nations in the Lea­gue.
These great nations are: Eng­land,
France, Russia, and Italy.
Japan's withdrawal from the League
has just become effective.
"The sucdess or failure of the
League of Nations as a means of ar­bitrating
national disputes probably
hinges on the results of the Italo-
Ethiopian question," stated Profes­sor
Ivey.

Large Crowd Attends
Tulane Mass Meeting
Led by the band from Langdon
Hall to the railway station, an en­thusiastic
delegation of several hun­dred
students staged a mammoth
demonstration as a send-off for the
football team departing for New
Orleans.
Bill McTyiere and his corps of
cheerleaders were on hand to aid the
band in giving the team and coaching
staff an indication of just how hard
the folks back home' will be pulling
for them when they go up against
the strong Tulane Greenies tomorrow
in the Louisiana city. Between yells
the band played several inspiring
numbers, while the crowd that re­mained
at the station from 7:15
until the train left the station kept
up a continuous clamor that left no
doubt in the minds of Coach Mea­gher
and his men as to the backing
they will receive from the student
body in either victory or defeat.
Although obviously pleased at the
display of pep and enthusiasm by
those participating in the demonstra­tion
last night, McTyiere was still
dissatisfied with the number of stu­dents
who turned out for the occas-sion.
"There is no reason why every
member of the student body should
not have been at the depot to give
the team a rousing farewell," he

LOST—Scabbard and Blade key by
C. Whitty Walter.'
The Auburn textile school will soon
be in a position to manufacture ray­on
yarn as well as other yarns. For
the past several years the heads of
the various textile departments have
been amassing the many machined
parts and fixtures necessary for the
building of a small rayon manufact­uring
unit.
Several business houses have done
their part toward making the -project
a reality by donating whatever ma­terials
they had that would be use­ful
to the textile faculty.
In an interview with a Plainsman
reporter, Prof. W. C. Camp, head of
the textile department, said:
"The addition of a rayon manu­facturing
unit to our machinery
should be of great educational value
to textile students. It should also be
a source of interest to others out­side
of the school on account of the
remarkable process involved. It
should be understood that rayon is
the only fibre that has been success­fully
made by man. All the other
cloths, wool, cotton, silk, etc., are
already fibre in the raw state."
According to Prof. Camp, assembly
will begin within'a few days, and the
entire unit will be ready for opera­tion
about the middle of November.
Traces Of Inland Sea
Discovered By Prof.
• Northampton, Mass. (NSFA) —
Smith College students have this
summer traced the boundaries of a
sea that was once in the interior of
the United States. This work was
carried on during a geology field
trip to western South Dakota and
eastern Wyoming directed by Prof­essor
Howard A Meyerhoff.
By ferreting organisms out of the
strata, they have uncovered infor­mation
concerning the inundation in
the Cambrian period of geologic time,
linking the shallow waters which cov­ered
the Great Plains with a con­temporaneous
sea spreading from
the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mex-
