TECH OFFENSIVE GOOD
Tilt Has Been Designated As
N a i s m i t h G a m e In Honor Of
O r i g i n a t o r Of Basketball
By EUGENE LEE
After a week's idleness from bas­ketball
wars, the Tiger quintet will
return to competition on Tuesday,
February 4 against Georgia Tech in
Alumni Gym. This will mark the
first appearance of a Southeastern
member on the local court this sea­son.
This game has been designated by
Coach Ralph Jordan as Dr. James
Naismith game in honor of the origi­nator
of basketball. One cent for
each fan attending the game will be
contributed to a fund that is hoped
will be large enough to send him and
his wife to the Olympic cage games
this summer and also start an annuity
fund in his behalf. Coach Jordan is
chairman of this movement for Ala­bama.
With examinations over and the
players fast recovering from the flu
epidemic that had as many as six un­able
to practice at one time, they are
fast rounding into shape for the bal­ance
of the games. Coach Jordan has
taken advantage of this week to
brush up on offense and defense. The
Tigers have gone through extensive
drills and baring any further mis
fortunes should be in excellent condi­tion
for the important game with
Georgia Tech. .
Georgia Tech has a team composed
mostly of sophomores. Their offensive
record .is high, and it has been the
sophomores who have furnished the
Yellow Jackets with most of their
power.
Three sophomores may start for
Auburn against the Yellow Jackets
Buddy Crew, forward; Rex McKis-sick,
forward, and Andrew Curlee,
guard, stand an excellent chance to
gain starting assignments. Rex Mc
Kissick is assured of one of the for­ward
posts. This sophomore has been
* of the outstanding first-year varsity
1 hardwood performers of the South.
His play in Auburn's games to date
has stamped him as one of the most
valuable finds of the season. His of
fensive record ranks among the high
est of the conference.
Buddy Crew has shown more im­provement
lately than any other mem­ber
of the team. ' He is probably the
fastest player on the local court. His
accuracy at hitting the basket during
the practice periods this week has
been remarkable. He was one of the

Discussions Be Held
By Auburn "Y" Group
The local unit of the Young Men's
Christian Association will begin a se­ries
of discussions next Monday night
in the Student Center at 7:30. These
discussions will continue throughout
the semester.
J. P. Handley, president of the Y.
M. C. A., will lead this first discus­sion,
which will be on "What shall we
do with the Auburn traditions?"
The question of introducing new
standards for campus life is seldom
raised without meeting objections
which reflect conventionality and cus­tom.
These two reflections, in thought,
attitudes, practices, social habits, and
institutions, account for the campus
traditions. Some of these are good and
useful, others are harmful or useless,
according to Handley.
At the time of the discussion next
Monday night, the Friendship Coun­cil
and Freshman Y Group will have
their first joint assembly. Any student
interested in the Y. M. C. A. is also
invited to attend the meeting.
In the near future, a deputation
team from Clemson College will visit
Auburn under the auspices of the Y.
M. C. A.
Auburn Glee Club
To Make Tour
Of&ate
A week's concert tour through
South Alabama will be taken during

Editor Graves States
Progress On Yearbook
Is Advancing Rapidly
•
All material for the 1935-36 Glom-erata
has been turned to the printers
save about 10 cuts and 20 pages of
copy. According to the'editor of this
year's publication, this is being com­pleted
about a month and a half be­fore
that of last year. This means an
earlier delivery to the student body,
and also elimination of the wait into
summer school, which was necessary
last year.
The only section of the Glomerata
now not in the hands of the printer
is the athletic section.
One of the new features of the cur­rent
year book will be the beauty sec­tion
which will be a composition of
color on a dark background. Accord­ing
to the editor, this should make the
feature section especially attractive.
Another of the added features will
be that of snapshots of the leading se­niors
"featured on each page of the se­nior
section. These snapshots are to
be of the seniors in their school attire,
posing as they walk about the campus.
The views of the campus are to be
handled in an entirely hew way. The
photographs are to be on a back­ground
of copper.
All in all the 1935-36 book is to be
developed in a modern motif, the
cover and all features. •
Editorial Staff Of
Paper Meets Sunday
A meeting of the editorial staff of
the Plainsman will be held Sunday
afternoon at 4:30 o'clock at the Stu­dent
Center. At this time important
plans and announcements will be
made for the second semester, and it
is especially important that all mem­bers
of the staff be present.
If there are any students on* the
campus who would like to gain some
valuable experience through working
on the Plainsman they are invited to
attend the session at the Student Cen­ter
Sunday afternoon. There is am­ple
room on the Plainsman editorial
staff for more students who are inter­ested
in this line of work.
The next issue of the Plainsman will
be published a week from today. The
paper will be issued regularly twice a
week from then until the end of the
school year.
Local U.D.C. Chapter
Has Recent Meeting
The Admiral Semmes Chapter U. D.
C. met at the home of Mrs. L. A. Ter-rill
and Mrs. Susie Wright acting as
joint hostess.
Mrs. R. B. Draughon presided for
the first time in her capacity as new
president.
The main speaker of the program
was Prof. R. B. Draughon of the His­tory
Department, who gave a review
of Freeman's "Life of Lee."
How Activities Fee Is Prorated
(AN EDITORIAL)
Off and on during each school year there is some
talk by students who are interested in knowing exactly
what is done with the money they pay the college' each
semester in the form of a Student Activities Fee. And
interested they should be, for this fee represents a size­able
portion of their total college fee.
Of each regular students enrolled, the college re­quires
the payment of $7.50 per semester, amounting to
$15.00 for the year. In addition to this, each regular
student pays an additional amount of $2.50 the first
semester. This sum was added in recent years to cover
the costs of each student's picture in the Glomerata.
Prior to this change, each student paid $3.00 for his pic­ture
in the year book. The change was made when it
was found that not all students were willing to pay this
cost, and as a result the class sections did not represent
the entire student body but only a portion thereof. To
remedy this situation the college reduced the picture
cost to $2.50 and added this sum onto the first semester
activity fee.
The Student Activities Fee is prorated as follows:
ATHLETICS 50%
GLOMERATA 24%
PLAINSMAN 14 %
SOCIAL COMMITTEE 6V2 %
STUDENT EXECUTIVE CABINET 2%
BAND : 1%% '

Blue Key Will Sponsor Move
This Summer In Attempting
To Increase Enrollment Here
Formulation of plans of Blue Key
for this semester have been outlined
and are expected to be completed
in the near future, according to Har­ry
L. Hooper, president.
The date for the Honor Society
Ball, which is sponsored by Blue Key,
has been set for Friday, April 17, and
tentative plans have been made. The
dance will be held in Alumni Gym
and is to be preceeded by a banquet
for members and their dates. Only
senior members of honor societies are
eligible to attend this function which
is annually one of the social high­lights
on the campus. Final arrange­ments
for the affair are to be worked
out by several committees which will
be appointed* soon.
At a meeting next week the plans
adopted earlier in the year to famil­iarize
high school students with the'
desirability of Auburn as a choice
for their college training will be com­pleted.
In accordance with the plan
each member of Blue Key is to visit
his high school and introduce to the
student body the member designated
by the society to speak to the pros­pective
college students. The speech
which is to be written in a standard­ized
form, will be presented at the
next meeting by B. H. Johnson. It
is designed to inform the students
on the phases of Auburn in which it
is believed they are most interested.
Such a talk by an undergraduate on
matters of general information about
the college is expected to have a
great deal of influence on the high
school student when he choses his
college.
Captain H. L. Watts is faculty ad­viser
of Blue Key and is working
with them in forming and carrying
out these activities.

Serious Blunder Is
Made In Last Issue
The editor humbly apologizes for
the serious mistake occuring in the
last issue of the Plainsman, though
wondering at the same time just how
many readers caught it. A member
of the circulation staff noticed the
mistake, he said, after some two hun­dred
issues had come off the press.
The paper was late coming out any­way,
so rather than cause any further
delay, he let the matter slip.
In the headline over the basketball
story on the front page, it was stated
that "Vols Win Over," which was all
screwy because it wasn't the Vols at
all, but Vanderbilt. After this the
editor promises to read stories more
carefully before writing the head­lines.
Annual Summer School Session To
Be Held At Auburn Starting June 8
The twenty-fourth session of the
summer school will open on June 8th
according to an announcement made
by Dean Zebulon Judd in an interview
today. The first session will run from
June 8th until July 17th, while the
second term will begin on July 20th
and terminate August 22nd. The
dates have been arranged so that stu­dents
in the R. O. T; C. summer camps
will be able to register for the second
term if they so desire.
Practically all divisions of the col­lege
will offer courses so that the en­tire
student body will be able to find
suitable courses in the summer ses­sion.
Students may register for a maxi­mum
of fourteen hours for^the full
session. The work may be taken seven,
hours per term for the two terms or
eight semester hours the first term and
six hours during the second term.
A registration fee of $3.00 is requir­ed
upon registration but is paid only
once, whether the student attends both
terms or not. An incidental fee of one
dollar is charged each semester. The
student pays fees only for the number
of semester hours credit he is taking,
the charge being only $2.00 per sem­ester
hour.
Dean Judd, who has been director
of the summer school for twenty
years, pointed out that the advantage
of the summer session is that it en­ables
the student to accomplish two
things; first, he may make up any
back course which he may need and
second, he may take as many advanc­ed
courses as possible with a view to­ward
early graduation. A student may
graduate "in three to three and a half
calendar years by attending two or
three summer sessions.
The school last summer enjoyed the
most successful year since its incep­tion.
A net enrollment of 1,296 stu­dents,
counting those enrolled for both
terms only once, showed a gain of ap­proximately
twenty per cent over the
registration for the summer of 1934.
A similar increase is expected for this
year.
The 1935-36 catalog of Auburn
with announcements for 1936-37, is
now being prepared; and copy will
go to the printer at an early date.
The plan, according to P. O. Davis,
Executive Secretary, is to have the
copy in the hands of the printer
early next week; and, the catalog
should be out in March.
For more than a month the deans
and other officials of the college have
been at work on catalog material. It
is reported that only minor changes
will be made in the form of the cur­rent
catalog. Curriculum arrange­ment
will be changed and it is ex­pected
to be a noticeable improve­ment,
although the Auburn catalog
is noted for its clearness in curricu­lum.
The calendar for the 1936-37 ses­sion
which will appear in the catalog
has not been finally decided. It is
known, however, that the Christmas
holidays will begin on December 19
and classes will be resumed on Mon­day,
January 4. This will give a
full two weeks which was made neces­sary
by the fact that Christmas and
New Year will come on Friday in­stead
of Wednesday which was the
case this year.
Certain other adjustments must be
made in the catalog for this addi­tional
holiday period, Mr. Davis ex­plained.
By THE EDITOR
In an interview last night in refer­ence
to the recent action of the Frank­lin
County Democratic Executive
Committee, Dr. L. N. Duncan was
very reticent. He declined to make
any definite statement relative to the
move of this committee to nominate
Dr. Duncan as a candidate for gov­ernor
in 1938 to succeed Gov. Bibb
Graves.
He did express his profound appre­ciation
for the " spirit of confidence
and esteem revealed in the statement
of his friends and neighbors where he
was born and reared.
Dr. Duncan further indicated that
he had no personal political ambitions;
that it had been his policy to devote
all'his time to the task of administer­ing
the college as president and with
the farmers Of the state as federal
extension director.
In recent weeks Dr. Duncan has
been the recipient of numerous letters
from varied portions of the State in
connection with the 1938 gubernator­ial
race.
Although groups throughout the
State have from time to time recently
voiced their desire to have Dr. Duncan
as a candidate in the next election, the
first definite action along this line was
made a few days ago by the Franklin
Committee. This body presented Dr.
Duncan's name for the consideration
of the voters in the form of a circu­lated
mimeographed letter.
In this letter it was clearly stated
that Dr. Duncan was not consulted
on the question prior to its issuance,
the form being circulated without his
knowledge. Dr. Duncan said last
night that he had no idea that this
move had been taken by the Franklin
County group.
The following is a copy of the let­ter
which is being circulated about the
State:
"Whereas many names are being
discussed over the State as prospec­tive
candidates for the Democratic
nomination for governor in the next

L. G. Gosser, director of freshman
English, to allow students making 80
or above to do special work during the
second semester. In doing the special
work they will be excused from part
of the regular work followed by the
remainder of the students.

Ask Cooperation
The attitude displayed by a large propor­tion
of the student body toward the Auburn
Fire Department is, to say the least, one
showing a lack of common horse sense.
There is an old ad%ge that runs something
like this: "What the fire doesn't destroy, the
firemen will." Here at Auburn it should
read: "What the fire doesn't destroy, the
students will."
Numerous instances can be pointed to
that will bear out this latter contention.
The most outstanding in recent years is the
Smith Hall fire. It is well known that a
great amount of damage in connection with
the fire was done by students who were here
for the holidays. It stands to reason that
if the school had been in session at the time,
the building and its contents would have
been a total loss.
Several months ago a gas main broke on
East Thatch. The gas company was aware
of the fact, and no harm was being done
until some wit tossed a match to see what
would happen. Even that would not have
been so bad had not some two hundred odd
students molested the fire department when
it was called. It was necessary to play
the fire hose on the cflowd in order to re­store
reasonable order.
The Auburn Fire Department is remark­ably
far advanced in comparison with other
towns of similar size and even larger. The
firemen are students who are working to
earn a living, and take their responsibility
seriously as they should.
Auburn is fortunate in that it has very
few large fires. The student body of the
college seem to resent this, and accordingly
set out to get all the possible excitement
out of the few fires that do occur. To do
this they resort to vandalism. They break
in windows and doors and in general run
wild while the fire is in progress. It ap­pears
that it is against the code of ethics
of this certain class of students to even so
much as think . of doing anything helpful
toward aiding the fire department, either
during the fire or afterward.
It is the sincere hope of the local fire
department to obtain the support and co­operation
of students. In the past the de­partment
has not only had the fire to con­tend
with, but a mob of wild and frenzied
students as well.
Sensible Argument
The much haggled over question of legal­izing
liquor for the State of Alabama is
revived again by the Montgomery Adver­tiser
in a recent editorial. There is hardly
any need to mention that the Advertiser is
strongly behind the movement for repeal.
The writer of this latest editorial on the
subject puts forth a number of strong argu­ments
that would take an expert debater to
refute.
Dollars are especially scarce at the pres­ent,
and the legalization of liquor, the Ad­vertiser
feels, would go far toward relieving
the situation. Though probably not bring­ing
in all that its backers claim, it is un­doubtedly
true that the revenue derived
from the sale of liquor would benefit the
state. This argument has been used by both
sides. One pictures a huge revenue pouring
into the State treasury, the other claims
that the revenue would amount to nil.
But the anti-repealists have another argu­ment.
It is at this argument that the edi­torial
in the Advertiser is directed. Though
realizing that the State is in dire need of
more money for education and other institu­tions,
this group of anti-repealists cringe
at the thought of their children being edu­cated
in schools maintained from money de­rived
from taxing the sale of liquor. Claims
the Advertiser that this same group would
also refuse, then, to have firemen save their
homes from fire because the firemen are
paid by liquor revenue. They would let
their homes be robbed rather than call po­licemen
who are paid from liquor revenue.
After all, what matters it where the
money comes from, as long as it comes by
means that are lawful? Taxing the sale
of liquor cannot be called unlawful. It
would be the sensible thing to do in view
of the fact that liquor is now being sold in
the State with the bootleggers reaping the
benefit.
The Best Withdraw
A progressive Alabama doctor, in an open
letter to the press, made an interesting
statement a few days ago. He declared that
in 1908 he left the teaching profession be­cause
teachers were underpaid. He saw that
in no other field demanding an equal amount
of training and intelligence was the aver­age
salary anything like as low. Continu­ing
his statement, he remarked that thou­sands
of Alabama teachers today are draw­ing
smaller salaries than he got in 1908.
Of course he is right. In law, medicine,
engineering, public service, journalism, all
of the other fields demanding training, inde­pendent
thought, and marked mental abil­ity,
the average pay is far higher than in
the teaching profession. Pay for teachers
compares more satisfactorily with pay of
semi-skilled, or even unskilled, labor. Yet
the training and native ability of a teacher
should be as great as that demanded in the
other professions.
Critics single out salaries paid to college
presidents and deans, to superintendents of
city systems, to nationally known scientists
and educators, and argue that teachers are
paid high salaries. They forget that these
are the most successful ones in the pro­fession,
the ones, of remarkable ability. A
comparison of their salaries with those of
the most successful or capable in other pro­fessions
will again show a marked disad­vantage
for the teacher.
In most fields of endeavor incomes are
much lower today than they were ten years
ago, but in few cases have they dropped dur­ing
the past twenty-seven years. In other
words, the average income paid for the same
type of work today is higher than it was
in 1908. Yet this Alabama doctor claims
that in the teaching profession salaries
have made a very little gain. Teachers get
less in Alabama now than he got in 1908.
Such conditions appear gloomy to one who
hopes to see an efficient educational system
developed and maintained in Alabama.
Probably the state has no greater need than
a sound and efficient school system manned
by capable and well trained men and women.
But how can such a system be maintained
if other professions continue to draw the
best man power?
This Alabama doctor quit teaching for a
more lucrative field 27 years ago. Others
of our best teachers are following- in his
footsteps today. Nothing needs good men
and women more than does our school sys­tem,
but they cannot be attracted and held
unless the citizenship realizes that education
must have more just and -generous treat­ment.

out in that weather Wednesday night.
What a night for the fire department
to turn in an alarm. And Auburn has so
few good fires. Why should they be on a

should be done about this midnight stuff.

And speaking of the weather, Thursday
morning was the whitest Auburn has ever
seen. (Don't quote me on this, or Professor
Robinson will come along with his bucket of

What happened to the Junior politicians
efforts to end politics? After all it might
be better to keep the line-ups open; they are

will begin. Some ambitious ones would be
more surprised than usual on election day.
Scouts War Peril
Dr. Roland Usher, a professor of history
at Washington university, who accurately
forecast the World War, says there is no
immediate danger of another major conflict.
After weighing the factors disturbing peace
he predicts that it will be several decades
at least before another large war can arise.
His prophecy is based on the precedents
of the past and the belief that there is no
general issue at stake to cause a world-wide
upheaval. "The great wars of the past
have come once in a century. The world
was shaken with war from 1618-48; 1702-
13; 1793-1815; and 1914-18. Every war of
any consequence leaves a lot of minor issues
unsettled and today there are plenty of
small issues that vex the nations. But the
great fundamental issue is lacking to set
off the spark of universal conflict."
This history professor thinks there is lit­tle
possibility of Italy's present Abyssinian
campaign spreading war throughout the
Mediterranean because Mussolini has iso­lated
his country from the support of
France, England and the smaller powers. If
Italy and Germany should unite, their geo­graphical
separation would largely nullify
the military value of the alliance, Dr. Usher
pointed out.
According to Professor Usher,. there
seems to be a number of issues that could
cause a major conflict within a short time.
The present Abyssinian affair may have the
same significance as Sarejovo had in 1914.
If economic sanctions which the League of
Nations is enforcing against Italy are car­ried
a step further to military sanctions, a
major conflict may result. The Asiatic
horizon also looks threatening. It would be
comforting to believe that Dr. Usher is in­fallible,
but the basis of his present pre­diction
makes one wonder if he wasn't a
bit lucky in his prophecy of 1914.—Minn.

THE CRUISE SONG

On Other Campuses — By The Wanderer
A writer for a South Carolina college
paper says that the three men who com­posed
the currently popular song, "The
Music Goes Round and Round," have receiv­ed
over $10,000 each from its sale. "The
publishers of the song, who once considered
10,000 sales a week something to shout
about, week before last were shocked out
of their wits to find that they had sold 102,-
000 copies of the song in seven days. The
music publishing industry declares that it
is the most popular song since 'Yes, We
Have No Bananas' stood America on its
musical ear back in 1925."
Funny why we choose as our current song
such a completely asinine piece of so-called
music as this cock-eyed little ditty. Per­haps
it is because it gives an emotional out­let
for our desire to be completely mad.

"Anyone," says the Minnesota Daily,
"who has been lying awake nights trying
to figure out how many cigarettes the young
man can make out of thirty-six cigarette
butts when six butts make one cigarette,
will be interested to know that the answer
is seven. After manufacturing the first six
(not done in the best families) and smok­ing
them, he will have another six butts
left over with which he can make another."

Still, we'd rather hold down all those jobs

living'with the dead. He watches the un­identified
dead in the county morgue every
night from six in the evening to four in the
morning. When does he study or sleep?
Even the morgue has its dead moments, he
explains. It is then that he hits either the
books or the hay. We bet he possesses a
fine anthology of horror stories.

Death of Decorum at the University of
Texas:
Down there, old Henry Harper, dean of
the graduate school, for years has preserv­ed
his vigorous independence of thought
and dress, despite the standardizing influ­ence
of the campus, which universally tends
to make professors dress with decorum, be­have
quietly, write few letters-to-the-editor.
The dean has always worn a blood-red
tie, which lies across his throat like a scar­let
butterfly alight upon a cactus.
Recently the dean and his ties received
national recognition when the dean sent one
of them as a Christmas present to O. O.
Mclntyre, the New York columnist whose
own sartorial abberrations are well known.
The color of the tie, said Odd, "is based
on the oxyhemoglobin of the red blood cells
in human arterial blood."
Students have many stories about the
Dean and his tie. Some say he began wear­ing
them in memory of a beautiful lady in
red who flitted across his horizon some
years ago. The dean, however, says he
wears them because he likes them.

* * * * IHAVE before suggested to this here
editor what our paper needs is a con-ued
story, and maybe a comic strip to
make it into a readable newspaper.
There is nothing like a newspaper story,
you know. I read all my Tarzan stories in
one of the Birmingham papers. The thing
was illustrated and all that, and my oatmeal
didn't taste right until I had first read about
how many fights Tarzan had had with the
apes^ (he wasn't fooling with movie actresses
in those days, and hadn't even learned to
holler like he did for Metro-Goldwyn).
This paper hasn't a continued story some­where
in its pages, and it hasn't a comic
strip, so to speak. I admit some of the stuff
that is printed is very funny, but, being not
illustrated it couldn't rightly be called a
comic strip.
Recognizing that fact, or the absence of
that fact, I, despite the lateness of the hour
. . . the cold . . . and the absence of some
good wild west story to read, will endeavor
to start what is known as a newspaper ser­ial.
Except this isn't going to be a serial.
If this editor of ours, who shaves in red
suspenders, would recognize the true merit
of this literary marvel, he would perhaps
cut out the Baltimore Sun editorials he is
running this issue and print the whole
thing. If not, then'it will have to be includ­ed
at another time, or again, when I can't
think of a thing else to write.
This story here is what is known as one
of those "Short Shorts" . . . the kind Liberty
and Collier's abuse the public with.
ONE EYE-ONE HUNDRED
(All Rights Reserved)
It is more or less correctly imagined the
quarrel Adam had with Eve the day the
rent came due on the Garden of Eden, and
they had to move, was quite somewhat of a
lulu of an argument. In fact it is imagined
that particular bit of argument was the
most rip-tearing and foot-stomping dis­agreement
in history.
However, in comparison, the argument
enjoyed by Adam and Eve was but a lily
of the valley floating upon a moon-kissed
lake. That fuss had by little Midge Evans
and Red Bride, was something else again.
It may be said that Miss Edge was known
to friends, acquaintances, and traffic cops,
as Little Miss Hell in a Buggy Colored Car.
The name having something to do with the
better-than-elegant beauty she had, and the
dunn-duff car she frightened pedestrians
with. And it also may be said that Red
Bride was the only male in town with looks,
wit, money and sarcasm to match hers.
However, that is neither here, nor is it
there. It may be said that Archilles called
Hector "Lolly-Popsie" in comparison to
what Red called her that night. What the
lovely little lady called in return is not
even mentioned by the Ladies' Missionary
Society.
Names were called, vases broken, and
rings thrown. It isn't exactly known what
caused the rift, but it is known that all
thoughts of breakfast nooks, kiddie kars,
and nursery rhymes were abandoned that
night.
Red left to sip a hot-rivet concoction
known as a "Side Car," and Midge remain­ed
home to alternately throw a left shop and
a right shoe through her father's best cut-glass
chandelier.
What happened the next night is the rea­son
for this noble essay.
The next night Red is driving out Car­ter's
Mill Road in search of cool river air
for a hot rivet head, when Little Miss Hell
In A Buggy Colored Car eases up along­side.
And not only eases alongside but also
forces both Red and car off the road into
the starboard ditch.
"Come here!"- Midge commands, when
everything is settled in the middle of the
ditch.
Red looks out and notes the color of the
car and the tone of the voice, and promptly
acts like a Hereford who has just seen Aunt
Betsey's carmine petticoat.
"Why you little Dun-Colored Devil," he
roars, jumping out, "I'll have your hide dry­ing
on that peach-colored radiator for this."
He jerks open the door and is reaching
for her when this guy rises from the back
floor, with a gun in his hand as big as all
get-out.
"Get in," the guy said.
It is reported Red got in as nice as any­one
would who had a gun gazing down his
throat, but it is also reported he offered the
guy the only fifty he had with him to let him
ride on the back seat with him to escape
riding on the front with "That Horse-faced
Hurricane."
Everything winds up with a continuation
of the drive out Carter's Mill Road towards
the mountains with Red up front and with
Midge still driving, and the guy on the
back seat aiming his big boom-gun.
"So nice of you to have called, my preci­ous,"
Red grits out after five miles. "But
I didn't think you cared for me."

PROSPECTS GOOD
FOR TIGER TANK
TEAM THIS YEAR
Keen Competition Shown For
Posts On Swimming Team;
Seven Meets Are Arranged
Prospects for the Auburn swimming
team this year are the best in history
according to a report from a reliable
source. Competition for several posts
on the team is exceedingly keen, es­pecially
for diving.
The diving post has several excel­lent
contenders in Oscar Alcebo, Sch­ley
Gordy, Jr., and Brandt Woodward.
All three men have shown good form
in practices to date and give promise
of being point winners for Auburn in
the forthcoming meets.
A tentative swimming schedule for
the season was just recently completed
and includes seven meets with some of
t*e leading tank teams of the South.
The first meet will be held against
Emory University in Atlanta on Feb­ruary
4.
The tentative schedule follows:
Feb. 24, Emory in Atlanta; Feb. 25,
Georgia in Athens; Feb. 26, Furman
University in Greenville, S. C.; Feb.
28, Clemson College in Clemson, S. C.;
March 5, Maryville in Auburn; March
7, University of Tenn. in Auburn; and
March 14, Georgia Tech in Atlanta.
Fourteen Report For
First Polo Practice
Among those reporting out for polo
at the first part of this week, were
twelve or fourteen old members of the
squad, three or four of which were
lettermen.
Although the weather has permitted
very little practice, the team is show­ing
signs of good prospects, and fur­ther
practice is expected to bring
about amazing results.
During the first few weeks, practice
will consist of merely stickwork, cage-work,
and getting things into shape.
After about a month of such prac­tice,
the squad will probably take to
scrimmaging to complete rounding
into shape a fine polo team.
Few people are aware of the fact
that Auburn is one of the very few
schools that can boast of a polo team,
and even fewer people, perhaps, know
that Auburn has one of the best polo
teams in the South. •
Negotiations are now being made
with leading polo teams for games to
be played later in the year, and prob­ably
a road trip will be made; how­ever
that is to be decided later. In
any event, the prospects seem good
and a successful season is anticipated.

Alabama Ranks Second In Con­ference
With Two Tilts Lost;
Auburn Has Played 4 Games
By JACK TODD
As the Southeastern Basketball Con­ference
draws to a close, yanderbilt
leads the pack with Kentucky and Ala­bama
occupying second and third
places respectively.
Alabama fell before the Mississippi
dribblers last Monday night 42-34, but
retaliated with a 38-32 win over Ole
Miss on the following evening. The
outstanding features of both games
was the scoring by Whatley of Ala­bama
and Graham of Mississippi.
Whatley garnered 20 points in the
first game and Graham 13" while in the
second game both men rang up the
same number of tallies—12.
Whatley now holds second place in
the Conference scoring column, while
Johnson of Georgia still holds the lead
with 82 points. There will probably
be another shake-up in this column
after the games scheduled for Friday
and Saturday are played.
Georgia meets Tennessee at Athens,
Georgia this Friday night, while L. S.
U. tackles Ole Miss at Baton Rouge.
On Saturday evening, Kentucky plays
Vanderbilt at Nashville, Tennessee
meets Chattanooga at Chattanooga,
Georgia renews their rivalry with
Georgia Tech, and L. S. U. will play
host to Ole Miss at Baton Rouge.
There are still quite a number of
games to be played before February
24, which marks the end of the Con­ference
schedules and it is unsafe to
prophesy which teams will be eligible
to enter the tournament. However,
Vanderbilt and Alabama are reason­ably
sure to be on hand when the
opening whistle blows.

DELL MORGAN IS
HIGHLY PRAISED
IN PRESS STORY
Associated Press Writer Hails
Morgan As "Handy Man" Of
Athletics; Busy Tiger Coach
The following article *vas released
last night through Associated Press,
and as the subject is close to students
at Auburn, the entire.story is reprint­ed
here:
"Meet Dell Morgan, handy man of
athletics at Alabama Polytechnic In­stitute
!
"He's one of the busiest members
of Auburn's coaching staff and prob­ably
has as many irons in the Are as
any athletic instructor in the nation.
"The 33-year-old Texan, who once
pitched for the St. Louis Cardinals
and toiled with a number of minor
league teams, performs duties that fit
these titles:
Asst. varsity football coach.
Freshman basketball coach.
Varsity baseball coach.
Varsity boxing coach.
Varsity wrestling coach.
"Morgan, as energetic and well-liked
as they come, was one of the
greatest football tackles and baseball
pitchers ever to play at Austin Col­lege,
from which he was graduated in
1925. He coached baseball at his
alma mater in 1926.
"Among the clubs Morgan served
during his professional baseball ca­reer
were, in addition to St. Louis,
Quincy, Greenville, Corsican, Mexia,
Atlas, Tulsa and San Antonio. He had
to forsake the game because of his
health.
"Upon retiring from active base­ball,
he coached at Quanah and Lub­bock
High Schools, in Texas, and was
the pilot of Texas Tech teams from
1930 until he came to Auburn's coach­ing
staff in 1934.
"Morgan was a regular member of
the wrestling and boxing teams at
Austin College and later coached
these sports at Texas Tech. A force­ful
pilot, he enforces strict training
regulations and he sets the pace by
training hard with his proteges.
"He can recall only one supersti­tion
he ever had faith in. While
coaching basketball at Texa* Tech he
found out the birthdays of all his
players and then looked up the star
under which each was born.
"If the almanac said a basketball
man would be lucky on a certain
night, Morgan would instruct that
player to shoot for the basket every
time he got possession of the ball,
regardless of position. Morgan says
the plan worked and his team upset
the "dope" several times.
"Morgan is married and has a son,
Dell, Jr., 6 months old. 'He's my only
bos,' says the coach. Morgan is one
of Auburn's leading citizens, taking an
active interest in all community
affairs. .
"His hobby is hunting, and he still
talks of the deer he killed on a pre­serve
in Western Alabama during the
holidays.
Quintet Captain
At Present Woodrow (Country)
Barnes, captain of the basketball
team, is in a stiff race with Crew
for the forward position. Both
men are excellent point getters for
the Tigers.
The final issue of the Williamson Rating was received in the Plainsman
office this week. This issue of the rating table gave Auburn number 8
position in the nation. T. C. U., S. M. U., L. S. U., Minnesota, Stanford,
California U., and Notre Dame finished ahead of Auburn in the order given.
Auburn consistently held this top position throughout the season.
Rating systems have been in
practice only about five years, but
since their first issue they have
gained in popularity until now they
are considered the most accurate
method of determining the national
ranking of the teams. Polls and
the opinions of individuals accom­plish
little. They are not based
upon a standard of fair equality.
No matter what type team a little
school is able to put on the gridiron
if the school doesn't have the back­ground
and following that is neces­sary
it won't receive the considera­tion
that it is due.
In reviewing the season Williamson
stated that Auburn had one of the
hardest, most nerve-wracking ten-game
schedule of all, a team that
bowled over Tulane, Kentucky (by a
larger offensive and better defensive
score than did Ohio State), Duke
(swampers of North Carolina), Geor­gia
Tech (as badly as did Alabama),
and Georgia; that although upset by
Tennessee came within two minutes
of a scoreless tie with L. S. U.; that
gave all-American selectors a lot to
worry about in Gilbert, Paterson, and
Gantt; and whose able coach, Jack
Meagher, former mentor of Rice, was
voted most valuable Southern coach
for 1935 by consensus poll, seems
strangely to have been overlooked in
most of the annual summaries.
Auburn has the tradition and back­ground
but its best years were in the
olden days. Since 1892, when the
grid game was formally introduced
to Southern colleges in an initial fra­cas
between Georgia and Auburn, this
institution has won the Southern
championship eight times. Auburn
had undefeated teams in 1900, '04,
'08, '10, '11, '13, '14, and '19. This
bright era faded away and from
1919 to 1932 Auburn lost its power
in Southern football circles. Four
years during this period the Tigers
failed to score a victory against a
Southern Conference member.
Chet Wynne brought the Tigers
back into the national limelight
with his sensational team of 1932.
Again after a lapse of two years
Coach Meagher, another Notre
Dame product, has brought the Or­ange
and Blue again to the front.
The tradition and power that was
Auburn's in the past flaunts it­self
again before the Southern
breeze. Auburn should be a pow­er
for the next few years, based on
present material.
This all evolves into Spring foot­ball,
which is upon us. Only one
more day remains of grace for the
freshmen before thy join the return­ing
varsity members for five hard
weeks of preparation for next fall's
tough campaign.
Spring football brings the hard
work. Plenty of blocking and scrim­mages
are on tap for aspirants to
varsity positions. Spring calls for
study of new plays, defensive work,
study of candidates, fundamentals
and development of team work. This
is necessary for the time between
games in the fall is taken up in brush­ing
up on offense and defense and
study of opponents.

QUITS ATHLETICS
Percy Beard, Auburn, Holder
Of Four World Marks, Will)
Quit Track Despite Olympics
Auburn's hardwood performers are
faced with important engagements
for the balance of the season. The
Plainsmen still have a chance to re­ceive
a bid to the conference tourna­ment.
Their showing in the remain­ing
tilts will determine their chances
of going. The Tigers have been be­set
with misfortune since Christmas.
Just as soon as Coach Jordan's
charges, who are mostly football
players had gotten adjusted to the
court, flu disrupted the squad. The
squad is fast rounding into shape, and
should be able to face the remainder
of the opponents of the season under
far better advantages than the first
conference foes were faced.
"Significant of his many coaching
duties at Auburn is the fact that his
varsity line was penetrated for only
one touchdown in the entire 1935
season."
By EUGENE LEE
Once again Time takes away from
the nation one of the outstanding
products of Coach Wilbur Hutsell, Au­burn's
famous track coach. Last week
the New York Athletic Club announc­ed
that Percy Beard, the nation's num­ber
one hurdler and holder of four
world marks, had permanently retired
from competition. This came as a
blow to the hopes of United States
Olympic chances.
Auburn's quiet civil engineering
professor gave his reason for retiring
as due to his years in competition, his
"ripe" age, and his marriage last
year. Not even the lure of the com­ing
Olympics would bring him into the
winter and spring meets.
During his term as member of the
Auburn track and field team, he set
several records in the conference
meets. Some of these still hold. Be­sides
being a hurdler, he could broad
jump close to 23 feet. He was chosen
captain of the track team his last
year.
Beard was one of the most popular
of the performers under the colors
of the N. Y. A. C, and his retirement
will come as a blow to the legion of
admirers who have thrilled with his
perfection of form and startling speed
over the high timbers since he entered
competition in the East six years ago.
Runner-up to the late George Saling
in the Olympic final of 1932, Beard
was looked upon as America's No. 1
high hurdler for the Berlin games
this summer.
In 1935 he won both the national A.
A. U. indoor and outdoor champion­ships,
tying his own indoor record at

Returning Lettermen And Carry-Over From Last Season Will
Join Freshmen Candidates Monday; Games Between Div­isions
Of Squad Will Be Had On Saturdays During Training
Fifty of last fall's freshmen football
players are taking adantage of the
first week of Auburn's Spring football
practice period. The returning letter-men
and carry-overs from the 1935
team will join the freshmen candi­dates
Monday.
The afternoons of this week have
been devoted to conditioning work and
drill in fundamentals. Due to incle­ment
weather, most of the sessions
have been conducted inside with lec­tures
given by Coach Jack Meagher.
Through these lectures and diagrams,
the freshmen are being familiarized
with offensive and defensive tactics
employed by Coach Meagher and his
assistants. This offers the first year
men a better chance to adjust them­selves
and be able to meet the com­petition
of the returning players from
last fall's squad.
Coach Meagher plans to give as
much experience and development of
next season's candidates as time will
permit. New offensive work will be
tried and studied. After two or three
weeks have passed, a game between
two divisions of the squad will be held
every Saturday afternoon. As many
scrimmages as possible will be sand­wiched
in between the Saturday
games.
There is a possibility that some of
the freshmen will break in as regulars
next season. Only time and observa­tion
will tell what chances the first
year men will have. Their showing
and also that of the reserves in com­petition
will go far in bringing out
their ability to make the grade.
The main problems facing the Tiger
mentor is finding replacements for
Haygood Paterson, tackle, and Mutt
Morris, end, and developing a strong
reserve. Returning tackle lettermen
as Hugh Rodgers, Freddie Holman,
and Bummie Roton. Rodgers and Ro-ton
should gain these assignments.
Both have been outstanding during
their terms as Tiger gridmen. Hol-man's
only disadvantage is lack of
weight. Outstanding reserves are
Vernon Burns, Fay Caton, Torrance
Russell, and Jeff Bogue. Freshmen
candidates for tackle are Thorpe,
Nichols, Griffit, Fletcher, and Wolf.
Lettermen returning for end are
Joel Eaves, Rex McKissick, and Hamp
Williams. Hamp Williams and Joel
Eaves showed as much improvement
toward the end of the season as any
other member of the team. These two
received the starting assignment in
most of the late games. Rex McKis-sicle
has the ability to become a fine
end. Frank Hamm is an outstanding
reserve. There are some promising
ends among the freshmen candidates.
These include Burford, Hallmark,
Howell, Hudson, and Childress.
The Spring practice should do'more
toward developing the reserve
strength than anything else. Auburn
has the material, two and three good
players for each position, but it is go­ing
to take the hard, work of these
practice sessions to develop the out­standing
reserve that is necessary.
Several outstanding high school
players, who have completed their
high school work, joined the freshman
squad at the start of the second sem­ester.
Harrison, of Atmore, and Sel­lers
and Pierson, of Birmingham, were
outstanding in State prep circles this
last fall. These men will not be eligi­ble
for varsity competition until 1937.

Business Frat Hears
Wright Talk Tuesday
The ability "to sell one's self" was
termed as one of the most important
factors of success in the business
world by H. G. Wright, grand secre­tary
and treasurer of Delta Sigma
Pi, national honorary business frater­nity,
in his speech to the local chap­ter
of the fraternity last Tuesday.
In speaking of the advantages of
being a member of Delta Sigma Pi in
the field of business, Mr. Wright cited
examples of members of the fraternity
who had maintained contact with and
interest in the organization while
making a success in this line of en­deavor.
At the conclusion of his
speech Mr. Wright conducted an open
forum in which the various problems
of business and the fraternity were
discussed.
The employment bureau established
at the central office in Chicago for
the use of members of the fraternity
was pronounced a marked success by
Mr.' Wright. This bureau was estab­lished
about a year ago and has prov­en
a great aid to members of the fra­ternity
in obtaining positions.
Mr. Wright is on a tour visiting
the chapters of Delta Sigma Pi lo­cated
in the south and southeast. After
leaving Auburn he will go to the Uni­versity
of Alabama and other schools
before returning to Chicago.
The standing of the Auburn chap­ter
was announced as sixteenth out of
59 chapters in the annual efficiency
contest. Alfred Jackson is president
of the local group.

Auburn Graduate Of
1930 Dies Suddenly
Information concerning the death
of Millard Munford Whitehead, 1930
Auburn graduate, has been received
by the alumni office.
Mr. Whitehead, age 29, died at
Enterprise on January 25 following
an appendicitis operation which de­veloped
into peritonitis. He was bur­ied
two days later at Gadsden.
After graduating at Auburn he
taught in the High Schools of Gads­den,
Rockwood, Tenn., and Elba for
four years. He received the M.S. de­gree
at Auburn last August.
Christian Science Be
Topic Of Lecture Here
Dr. John M. Tutt, C.B.S., of Kan­sas
City, Mo., will lecture on Christian
Science here in Langdon Hall on
Thursday evening, February 6, at
8:00 o'clock.
The lecture is sponsored by the
Christian Science Society of Auburn
and will be free to the public.
After presenting "Faust, the Wick­ed
Magician" to a large audience
Thursday afternoon Tony Sarg's
Marionettes played before a capacity
crowd at Langdon Hall last night.
Mr. Sarg's puppets, the most famous
in this country, brought many laughs
during the performance and received
a great ovation at the completion of
each scene.
Last night's concert was Mark
Twain's "A Connecticut Yankee in the
Court of King Arthur." The puppet
Sir Boss, was made up as Will Rogers,
immortal star of the motion picture
of Twain's story. The wisecracks of
Twain, spoken by Sir Boss within the
dignity of Tennyson's Court of King
Arthur, made the farce a great suc­cess.
Each scene, especially those show­ing
the performance of the first al­manac
miracle of Sir Boss, and of the
Tournament, commanded attention
throughout, but the most popular
scene of the play was the portrayal
of the destruction of Merlin's castle.
The puppet Mark Twain was an al­most
exact likeness of the famous hu­morist.
Immediately preceding the
main feature the author told a few
interesting things about himself,
among them being the story of the
reason he chose "Mark Twain" as his
pen name. In the prologue Twain in­troduced
his two most widely known
characters, Tom Sawyer, who danced,
and Huckleberry Finn, who played the
accompaniment.
At the conclusion of the Marionette
concert everyone was invited to re­main
and watch the operators pack
the dolls, scenery, and other appara­tus.
After seeing the hundreds of
strings .connected to the numerous
characters, the audience was made to
realize more fully the great amount
of skill required of the operators.
Home Of Dr. Wilmore
Is Burned Wednesday
The home of Dr. John J. Wilmore,
engineering school dean at the Ala­bama
Polytechnic Institute, was se­riously
damaged by fire late Wednes­day
evening. Loss was estimated at
$2,000.
The fire, is was stated, originated
from an appliance in the butler's
pantry at 11:30 o'clock and spread
rapidly to an adjoining room. There
was considerable damage to the roof
caused by the fire and portions of
the house were injured by water.
"For a time it appeared that the
entire house would be consumed,"
said Dr. Wilmore, "but the heroic
and expert work of the Auburn Fire
Department soon checked the blaze."

gubernatorial election in 1938, the
Democrats of Franklin County claim
the privilege and high honor of pre­senting
the name of Franklin's dis­tinguished
son, Dr. Luther Noble Dun­can,
as a candidate for that exalted
position.
"Without consulting Dr. Duncan,
but solely with the sincere desire, to
render a service to the people of Ala­bama
along the lines of progress and
growth of public affairs this proposal
is made.
"We offer an outline of some of the
qualifications that so imminently fit
this great Alabamian for the exalted
position of chief executive:
"He comes from among the very
hearts and lives of the masses.' He,
therefore, understands their problems
and by reason of his broad experience
in public affairs he knows how to deal
with them.
"He is a Democrat by birth, by
training and lifelong loyalty, and in
that broader sense is born of a genu­ine
love of the people and a desire to
serve them his democracy looms large.
"While he was born in North Ala­bama,
the breadth of his work has
familiarized him with the needs of
every part of our broad State. He
belongs, therefore, in a very intimate
sense to each and every section of the
State.
"In all the years of his renowned
service to the people of Alabama,
There cannot be sustained a breath
of criticism on his honor, integrity
and high character.
"He is fair, just, sympathetic,
broad, tolerant, and liberal in his
views but, at the same time he has
the courage of his convictions and
cannot be swerved from his honest in­tent
to serve the right as he sees it.
"As an organizer, administrator,
and inspirer and leader of men, he
has few if any equals in all the coun­try.
*
"He not .only believes in economy
and efficiency but knows how to inau­gurate
and carry out policies that will
accomplish these purposes.
"He believes with the immortal Jef­ferson
that the greatest safeguard to
Democracy and human liberty is the
universal education of all the people.
For nearly 40 years he has labored
in the field of education, pushing the
program with a zeal akin to religious
fervor.
"His clear forceful statement of the
relations and proper cooperation be­tween
agriculture and industry
stamps him as a statesman in a very
real sense. He believes fully with
President Roosevelt that wealth and
happiness are created where men co­operate.
"If we should call the roll of our
most useful citizens in Alabama the
name of L. N. Duncan would be found
among the very topmost.
"Therefore be it resolved by the
Democrats of Franklin County that
the name of this distinguished son of
Franklin, Dr. Luther Noble Duncan,
be presented to the people of Alabama
as a candidate for the office of gov­ernor,
and we invite the Democrats
of every section of the State to join
us in placing him in the executive's
chair."

132 Persons Attend
Birthday Party. Here
Wednesday night 132 persons as­sembled
in the Student Center and at
the President's home to celebrate
President Roosevelt's birthday by
contributing to the nation-wide fight
against Infantile Paralysis.
Mr. Charles W. Edwards, general
chairman of the committee in charge,
reports that the net proceeds of the
party was $31.50. Of this amount,
70 per cent will remain in this com­munity
for the rehabilitation of local
infantile paralysis victims, and 30
per cent will go to the work of the
Warm Springs Foundation at Warm
Springs, Ga.
Although the amount taken in is
smaller than last year, Mr. Edwards
states that what really counts is that
Auburn joined in the general group
to stamp out infantile paralysis.
The party was held in two sections.
Part of the group played bridge at
the Student Center, and at the Presi­dent's
mansion, there was a sewing
party for the women and a smoker
for the men.
The birthday party in Auburn was
sponsored by the Inter-Club Council.
