In Auburn Last Week
Band Will Appear
On Magic City
Program
Several thousand Auburn alumni,
football fans, and visitors from Ten­nessee
are expected to gather for the
huge rally at the Municipal Audito­rium
Friday evening on the eve of the
Auburn-Tennessee game, according to
word received from the Birmingham
Chamber of Commerce which is spon­soring
the meeting.
The Auburn Band of 85 pieces, di­rected
by P .R. Bidez, will present a
band concert. Hub Hahn, president
of the Jefferson County Auburn alum­ni,
will preside. Visitors will be wel­comed
by Commissioner Lewey Rob­inson,
associate commissioner of Bir­mingham;
L. E. Foster, general man­ager
of the Birmingham Chamber of
Commerce, with Dr. L. N. Duncan,
president of the Alabama Polytechnic
Institute, responding.
Short talks on "The Game Tomor­row"
will be given by Coach Jack
Meagher and Del Morgan of Auburn
and by Coach Britton of the Univer­sity
of Tennessee. J. L. Liles, county
agent for Jefferson County, will speak
on behalf of the Birmingham alumni.
Governor Bib Graves, Governor Mc­Allister
of Tennessee and Dr. J. D.
Hoskins, president of the University
of Tennessee, have been invited to ap­pear
on the program.
Following the program those pres­ent
will hear the Auburn radio broad­cast
to go on the air over WSM, Nash­ville,
and WBRC, Birmingham, 9:30
to 10:00 o'clock. The program will
be relayed to the Municipal Audito­rium
where it will be heard over loud
speakers.
The Birmingham Chamber of Com­merce,
the Birmingham City Commis­sion
and the Auburn alumni have
joined hands to make the game Sat­urday,
which officially opens the foot­ball
season in Birmingham, a civic
event as well as a sports event. Mr.
Foster, as chairman of the publicity
committee, has mailed 5,000 letters,
put on an intensive newspaper and
radio publicity campaign. As a result
i t is believed that attendance at the
game will be the largest in several
years.
The City Commission of Birming­ham
and the Chamber of Commerce
have issued proclamations declaring
Saturday "Auburn Day" in Birming­ham
and retail merchants are deco­r
a t i n g their stores and windows with
football attire and college colors of
the two institutions.

Senorita Lupe and Senor Miguel
Silva, of Mexico City, Mexico, were
in Auburn last week-end to spend a
few days with their nephews, Hesus
an Enrique Silva, third year students
in architecture here.
The Silvas arrived from their two
thousand mile journey from Mexico
City Saturday. They departed Wed­nesday
on an extended tour of the
States. From here they were to go
to Boston then over to California and
back down the West coast.
Senor Silva is a railroad inspector
with headquarters in Mexico City,
which is the home of the two nephews
he visited. He has made previous vis­its
in United States.

The parade tomorrow in Birming­ham
will start at 11 o'clock from the
Molton Hotel. The city auditorium
has been designated as headquarters
where cars may be decorated for the
affair.
Practically 100 per cent of the 1935
graduates in the school of education
at Auburn have been employed as
teachers or in closely related fields of
work.
"The demand this year for ade­quately
trained teachers has been
double the number of graduates," said
Dr. Zebulon Judd, education school
dean. With the improved economic
conditions, Dr. Judd believes t h a t this
year will see a greater number of
teachers employed than ever before.
Positions were secured by the grad­uates
through the placement bureau
conducted by the school of education.
In addition to the 47 Auburn educa­tion
graduates who were placed dur­ing
the year, positions were secured
for 65 summer session students who
were either graduates from other in­stitutions
or non-graduates who reg­istered
with the bureau.
Records of the bureau for the four
years, 1929-32, show that of the 433
graduates with the B. S. and M. S.
degrees 91.2 per cent were placed. Of
the number 87.2 per cent were ap­pointed
to positions in educational
fields. Forty-eight of the number re­ceived

On one evening a dance and

Under the leadership of Lawrence
Barnett, college Glee Club director
and instructor in band instruments, a
band has been organized at Auburn
High School.
The personnel of this band includes
twelve high school students between
the ages of 10 and 14. This number
will be increased shortly due to the
fact that at least six boys are prac­tising
individually in order to become
good enough to perform as regular
band members.
The various sections of instruments
are well divided to give the best bal­ance
and tone available. The sections
include four trumpets, two trombones,

Tupelo, Miss., on Friday evening.
Miss Shepherd is to be the repre­sentative

lessons to aid the advancement of the
band as a unit. Practice has been
held daily since the opening of school
and, because of the enthusiasm and
willingness of the players to learn, the
band has advanced rapidly.
The band will make its first public
appearance when it parades on the
field at the half of the Auburn-Ope-lika
football game played on the
county fair grounds in Opelika today.
Considerable interest is being shown
regarding the concert series that is
to start here October 24 under the
direction of the Alabama Music
League.
Edwin Strawbridge and his group
of dancers will be the first artists to
appear on the series. They will be
followed each succeeding week by
Philip Frank, violinist and Bernard
Frank, pianist; Joseph MacPherson,
bass-baritone, formerly with Metro­politan
Opera Company, and Ger­trude
Peterson and Lucy Lewis, har-po-
duo.
The concert series is being spon­sored
here by the Glee Club as a
means to raise funds for its work this
year. The money which is received
will be used to 'finance the purchase
of music and the club's tour later in
the season.
"Something to stand up and cheer
about came to the Lewisohn Stadium
last night as a novelty of the summer
concerts of the Philharmonic Sym­phony
Orchestra. Something fine in
dancing of the sort not seen here­abouts
often." This statement from
the New York Evening Journal is
typical of the comment made after
the appearance of Edwin Straw-bridge
and his group there last sum­mer.
A large attendance should result
from the fact that the entertainment
will be available at the popular price
of $1.00 for a season ticket to high
school and college students, and $2.50
for adults. Tickets are on sale at the
Music Studio and by the members of
the Glee Club.

One of the largest attendances at
a gridiron affair in the history of
Birmingham is predicted when Au­burn
and Tennessee open the foot­ball
season for Birmingham on Le­gion
Field tomorrow afternoon. This
game offers the Magic City the major
football attraction for the week and
will be the second week in succession
the Tigers have been involved in the
principal Saturday evening battle of
the South.
Birmingham will see two of the
strongest teams in the Southeastern
Conference when the Volunteers and
Tigers go into action on Legion Field.
The two teams are evenly matched
and the outcome of this important
engagement is uncertain. The Ti­gers
have a line that is rated the
strongest in the South and hold an
advantage in this department, where­as
the Vols have an edge in the back-field
of the two. Tennessee has
great power back of their line. In
Dixon and Palmer they have two of
the best backs in the Nation to pit
against Auburn's great line.
. The spirit of the Auburn squad Ms
high after the great showing made
in the Tulane game. Coach Meagher
has no major casualties to contend
with and for the first time since the
season started it seems that the reg­ular
lineup can be used.

Bob Mercer Improving
Rapidly Says Reports
Robert Mercer, who suffered a se­rious
accident on his return to Auburn
from the National Rifle Match in
Ohio early in September, has been re­leased
from the hospital and has re­turned
to his home in Birmingham. A
letter from his father says that he is
improving rapidly as could be ex­pected.
Mercer, who would have been a
senior in aeronautical engineering,
will not be in college this year. He
hopes to return next year, according
to his father, E. D. Mercer. When
the accident occurred he and Bob
Chandler were riding Chandler's mo­torcycle.
Chandler received only mi­nor
injuries.
Teleghaphic Report Of
Game To Be Received
For those unable to attend the game
in Birmingham tomorrow, a "grid
graph" will be afforded on which play
by play accounts of the game will be
shown. The board will be erected in
Langdon Hall.
A new and larger miniature playing
field has been constructed which will
show more accurately the path of the
ball during each play. Announcements
will be made simultaneously as the
plays are shown on the board. Re­turns
will come direct from the field
in Birmingham over a special leased
wire.
A prize of ten dollars will be given
to the person who guesses the correct
score of the game. The admission
price to the matinee will be twenty-five
cents. The Duke, L. S. U., and
Florida games will also be shown.
Delta Sigma Pi Will
Have Reception Here
The first social meeting of Delta
Sigma Pi, national honorary fratern­ity,
will be held Tuesday evening, Oc­tober

Student Center.
This meeting will be given in the
form of a reception. In this way the
f r a t e r n i ty plans to acquaint the new
students with the faculty and at the
same time afford an opportunity for
every one to establish a relationship
that is more intimate than just stu­dent
and instructor.
This reception will include a plan­ned
program with an appropriate
speaker. Refreshments will be served
during the course of the evening and
all new students of the department
are urged to come.
The latter part of the evening will
be used for the formal presentation
of the Freshman Scholastic Cup to
Dan T. Smith, and the tapping of the
pledges for this semester. Those tap­ped
will come from students enrolled
in some department of the School of
Business Administration who have
averaged 80 or more and whose inter­est
in subjects pertaining to business
has been exceptional.

For Better Cooperation
Although we admit it with reluctance,
there are times during the year when it is
difficult to secure a sufficient amount of
news to fill the news columns of the paper.
At such times, which are seldom, what news
there is must be "stretched," with "canned
news" being used to fill up the remaining
space.
We firmly believe, that figuring as it does
as one of the leading institutions of the
South in experimental work and otherwise,
Auburn should provide an endless source
of interesting and worthwhile n e w s.
Throughout the year extensive experimental
work in physics, chemistry, education, and
numerous other scientific studies is being
carried on. Surely, there must be some re­sult
from all this experimentation, yet it
is seldom that anybody ever hears about
it, unless thereby a very startling discovery
is made.
A dean of one of the leading schools on
the campus, when asked if he had anything
to give for publication concerning his de­partment,
remarked that he did have a few
things but didn't want to give them out for
fear it would be thought that he was ap­pearing
as "high hatted" or as trying to
put on the dog. At the same time there are
other deans who are only too anxious to
let the public know what is going on within
their school. With this situation existing,
it is a natural result that a true picture is
not presented of the activities of the col­lege
as a whole. It appears that while
some schools are working like bees, others
are practically asleep. Of course, one ac­quainted
with the true facts knows that this
is not true.
Though we do not ask that the deans of
each school on the campus write out a de­tailed
report of the activities of his school,
we do ask that there be a little cooperation
between the deans and the Plainsman. It is
our job to write the news, but we first must
know what there is in the way of news be­fore
anything can be written. Just a hint
of what is going on is all that is needed,
and immediately a Plainsman reporter will
be on the job finding out the facts of in­terest
to the students and public in general.
Along this same line, it might be men­tioned
that there are numerous groups and
societies on the campus that are fairly ac­tive,
yet one seldom hears of them. Usually
a member is appointed to handle the pub­licity
for the group, but nine times out of
ten he wouldn't know what to write, and if
he did he wouldn't know how to write it.
All that is needed are the facts. One of
these are known, it is a fairly simple matter
to write a news story. The reason some
groups appear to be given most publicity
is that they go to the trouble of letting the
Plainsman know what they are doing.
Other groups that want publicity and won­der
why they don't get it are the ones that
expect the Plainsman to know what they
are doing through the use of some sort of
magic or something.
Also, it might be stated that for news to
get in either issue of the paper it must be
in the hands of the editor by noon of the
day before the paper is published.
This editorial is not intended as a plea
for news, as the Plainsman has managed
to get by in the past and will do the same
this year. We just feel that there are many
things that happen at Auburn that one
never hears of, and which if printed, would
give a more exact picture of campus activ­ities
in general at Auburn.
Montgomery Lecture Series
With Dr. Leon Sachar speaking Decem­ber
10 on "What Makes Public Opinion,"
the Montgomery Lecture Course will begin
its seventh in a series of lectures dealing
with the current problems that confront the
world today, as well as other topics of gen­eral
interest. These lectures each year of­fer
an excellent opportunity for one to gain
first hand information from speakers who
are at the top in their respective fields.
Dr. Sachar is well able to discuss the
problem of what makes public opinion, as
he has taught history for many years at
the University of Illinois and has been a
frequent contributor to many current mag­azines.
He is also the author of several
history books.
'On Januapr 15 George Soule, vice-presi­dent
of the National Bureau of Economics
Research, will speak on "The Useful Art
of Economics" and "Wage Arbitration."
Beside being a writer and having a repu­tation
as a clear thinker, Mr. Soule has
taught economics at Columbia and has con­ducted
the Weil Lectures on Citizenship at
the University of North Carolina.
The third lecture will be delivered by
Ernest Gruening on February 26. His sub­ject
will be "Editing the Nation's News,"
He is an internationally known correspond­ent
and former editor of many large city
newspapers. He spoke last year in Mont­gomery.
Louis Adamic, author of "The Native's
Return," will speak March 16 on the sub­ject
of- "Shadows of Things to Come." As
Mr. Adamic spent last summer in Europe
studying the conditions, he should be able
to clearly report about the delicate political
situations now existing in some' sections of
Europe.
The lecture series will close the latter
part of March with Dr. Samuel Schmal-hausen,
noted psychiatrist and educator,
discussing "A New Education for Reality."
Dr. Schmalhausen is the author of nume­rous
books dealing with similar subjects.
Auburn students and professors should
avail themselves of the opportunity they
may have to attend these lectures. Let's get
away from our "little world" and listen to
what someone else has to tell us.
Where're The Rat Caps
Year after year freshmen are hounded
less and less about wearing their rat caps.
At the present rate of decline, it shouldn't
be many more years before a rat cap on
the campus will be quite a novelty. They
are just that right now to a certain degree.
In times past it used to be that a Vigi­lance
Committee, composed of "A" Club
members, saw to it that each freshman
wore his rat cap for the entire year. In
time this organization gradually faded out
of the picture. Even though it has not ex­isted
for the past several years, an attempt
was made to scare rats into wearing their
caps by reference to this committee. A
freshman may be pretty dumb, but he has
at least enough sense so that before the
first week is up he has just about decided
that there isn't any such thing as a vigi­lance
committee.
Although it was stated right at the first
this year, as it is every year, that fresh­men
will be required to wear rat caps, there
is not one out of ten who wears the cap
now. This may not be a matter of life and
death, yet it is one of Auburn's customs
that should not be allowed to die out. It
may even be called a necessary part of the
freshman year of every Auburn student.
Once upon a time the heads of freshmen
were shaved. But because that was done
away with is not held as sufficient reason
for the wearing of rat caps to be done away
with also.
As a method of enforcing this little reg­ulation
of the frosh we suggest that each
fraternity see to it that their freshmen obey
the rule. That is the only way it can ever
be enforced unless another vigilance group
is formed which is unlikely.
Where Does It Go To?
This fall at registration each student paid
fifty cents, which is now in the hands of the
Student Executive Cabinet to be used as
they see fit. While fifty cents along doesn't
represent any hugh fortune, over two thou­sand
fifty-cent pieces amounts to quite a
sizable sum. In fact, the sum amounts to
well over a thousand dollars.
Aside from conducting the different elec­tions
on the campus each year and a few
other things, one wonders just exactly what
is done with all the money. In many col­leges
it is a policy of the student govern­ment
to publish each year a detailed account
showing the expenditures of the group dur­ing
the year. Not looking at the matter
from-a selfish point of view, a similar state­ment,
if published at Auburn, would pre­sent
to the students an interesting account
of the workings of the Executive Cabinet.
And looking at the matter from a selfish
standpoint, it would be interesting to note
just exactly how the fees exacted each

week's game. When the larger sta­tions
were tied up with the world series a
play-by-play report of the Auburn-Tulane
was coming in. Then after the world series
was over a long resume of the game had to
be listened to before you could get what
was actually going on. The best one of the
afternoon, however, came when WAPI had
to even stop giving the resume in the mid­dle
of the second period because "time did
not permit." Naturally we feel very grate­ful
that WAPI could find time to include
a partial resume of an A. P. I. football game
on their program. More power says I to
the Dothan station.
It is not hard to understand why some
girls know all the answers, they go with the
boys that ask all the questions.
OUR MORALS? There is that old ques­tion
of the moral life of the Auburn stu­dent.
It seems that it is the ethical duty
of our "grown ups" to decide what is right
and what is wrong, and then to draw up a
lot of don'ts" and "do's" to control our ac­tivities.
With this in mind all architechs
must cease their labors, in the place equp-ped
for such work, at eleven o'clock, and
loaded "like a pack train" go home to work
under adverse conditions through the small
wee hours to finish the due problem. En-route
home they frequently pass the Stu­dent
Center where one may dance until at
least twelve and sometimes one A. M.
Things like this make one wonder if the
so-called "grown ups" know what it is all
about away. Also, one wonders where
those all knowing ones came to know about
all these things that "us chullun" have to
be guarded against. The conditions dis­cussed
above have been effected because
certain young ladies coming in from very
late dates, excused themselves by lamenting
that they had to stay at the drawing room
until that questionable hour.
If the students of the other departments
may work until any hour on their studies
there can be no really sound reason, why
architects may not work as long or late as
they are able on their problems in the place
provided for that purpose? Who knows?
PUBLICITY. How mucn is known of
the results of all the research that is being
carried on within the walls of this institu­tion
every year? I can tell you—very lit­tle.
This makes one query as what is the
matter with those doing the work. Of
course there is always modesty to be con­sidered,
but at the same time there is a
number of things other than modesty that
would cause the experimenter to shrink
from telling us about the new findings.
Those other things that I have in mind are
not very pleasant so I will not mention
them, but when one has to run a man to
earth and then come away with a most
adequate statement to be printed in the
paper supposed to exist for the good of the
institution something is wrong. Findings
of this school have been pushed into sec­ond
place because the public was told of
it by other institutions first. If the findings
are worth spending money on to find then
they are worth telling about. And there
seems no better publication is needed to
tell folks about the findings than the school
paper.
This is not only so of the institution of­ficially,
but also of the student body as a
whole. There are few students who will not
tell you every year that the paper is the
worse yet. But when a group with which
they are associated does anything the ed­itor
or his associates has to run all over
the campus to find someone who will talk,
and then he has to ply the victim with lead­ing
questions to get a faint idea of what
happened. With meager notes the reporter
is expected to give a full length record of
the event, and woe be unto him if he mis­states.
The lacking characteristic is co­operation.
Help the paper get the news,
and then you can boost it instead of knock­ing
it.

GRAMMATICAL CONSTRUCTION OF A KISS
A kiss is a pronoun because she stands for it.
It is plural because it calls for another.
It is sinular because there is nothing else like it.
However, it is not an adverb because it cannot be compared, but it is a phrase
expressing feeling.

Washington, D. C.—At least once a day
the secretary of any government executive
of a New Deal agency, no matter how mi­nor
his ranking, finds a dozen letters in his
mail from recent college graduates, run-ing
somewhat in this vein:
Dear Mr. Gleep:
One of my friends, a Mr. Smith, who is
a friend of a friend of yours, Mr. Jones of
the Covington, Kentucky, Joneses, has sug­gested
that I write to you in regard to a
job with your division, the legal division of
the Federal Administration of Emergency
Entomology.
Now although I am not a lawyer, let
alone knowing anything about the laws hav­ing
to do with entomology, I am a recent
graduate of Oklahoma University, having
majored in Anglo-Saxon and Norse. What
I don't know about Boewulf never happened
to him.
Well, I need a job badly. I never took
entomology and what's more I don't know
what you need a legal division in your bu­reau
for, but I feel sure that what I know
of the legal code of Athelthrotthel the All-wet,
king of the Northumbrians, would
stand me in good stead in your department.
Or, I could be a useful office executive of
some sort, engaging myself in working out
methods to file paper clips correctly. Is
there anything more annoying to a high
powered man like yourself than to have to
lose your dignity and your temper, hunting
through a bowlful of seventeen different
kinds of clips for an elliptical one, with
only square, rectangular and round ones
turning up?
I know I could be useful to you. And I
am willing to study law or entomology, or
both, at night. Please let me know if you
can use me.
Very truly yours,
Baxter Milbury.
Mr. Milbury hasn't much of a chance with
the New Deal agencies. For a minor cleri­cal
or office job he has to have either po­litical
sponsorship or, to get in some bu­reaus,
he has to have Civil Service status.
For a better job he has to have technical
or professional training of some sort and
some proof of his ability in some special­ized
field from which men are being drawn.

If he is a fledgling lawyer, with a good
academic record, and, more than that, a
recommendation from one of his law pro­fessors
to someone doing important exec-tive
work in Washington, his chance for a
job in the capital is fairly good. The AAA,
the FERA, the Resettlement Administra­tion,
the Department of Justice, the Fed­eral
Deposit Insurance Corporation, and a
number of other bureaus may have some­thing
to offer in their legal divisions.
Engineer's best opportunities lie with the
Resettlement Administration in their field
offices, or with Rural Electrification, or
with field offices of the Works Progress Ad­ministration.
Architects, to a considerably
lesser degree, may find work with the plan­ning
sections of these departments.
Economists, with specialized knowledge
of public utilities, labor conditions and
problems, market prices, or statistics usu­ally
come armed with letters from former
'professors to executives of the Security Ex­change
Commission, the Department of La­bor,
the National Labor Relations Board,
the AAA, the Farm Credit Administration,
and to the WPA. The statisticians have
been especially in demand, in the past, and
good ones always have an even chance.
Mountains of statistics are compiled every
day by droves of government statisticians.
The amount of statistical information
about the trends of prices, employment, in­dustrial
activity, etc., in this country, add­ed
in the past three years to what was al­ready
known is staggering. It takes an
army of statisticians to compute what is
being done under the New Deal, month by
month, in terms of employment and expen­ditures,
plus another army devoted to car­rying
on statistical research.
Graduates of colleges and departments
of journalism are having more difficulty
than any other professionally trained group
in finding posts in Washington. It is true
that the New Deal has created a great many
new press sections for its news agencies,
but in almost every case the person hired
is a seasoned, experienced newsman. The
novice has to complete with men of years
of experience, men often nationally known,
in order to get a job. Moreover, even the
biggest agencies use no more than three or
four people to turn out releases, or to han­dle
their organization's relations with the
press.
As for the college graduate with a gen­eral
letters and science background, his
only chance is to fit in somewhere on the
strength of some strong minor he took as
an undergraduate. Many persons employed
here are doing work that they didn't devote
most of their time to at college, but in which
they showed more than a passing interest.
English majors, who discovered a second­ary
forto in statistics, are gathering them
for Federal agencies. History majors, with
a good background in sociology are doing
sociological research for government de­partments.
And the interesting thing is
that the subject that was once their sec­ond
choice is now the field they plan to
make their lifework.

IT'S the simple things in life that count.
But they count on their fingers. I never
saw a girl who didn't. . . unless she had
paint on her nails and didn't want to mess
it up. •

But I honestly think that the way this
nail painting craze started was when some
little lass was washing dishes for her
mother and washed the old butcher knife
a bit harder than she should and thereby
cut her finger. When she applied mercuro-chrome
(the spelling is correct) a bit of it
doused her finger nail, and when she went
to put the bottle back in the cupboard some
spilled out and got on two more nails, and
$ien she got mad (you know how they do
get mad and lose control) and just doused
the whole bottle on all the nails she had.
And then she liked the looks of the things.

Man wore the first pair of pants, the
first corset, the first pair of sik stockings,
and was the first to powder his mug and
curl his hair; they learned that from us.
But there is no mention in no history books
of no nail painting. They're getting en­terprising
they are.

all of these pretty and new Fall clothes,

We have sewing circles in our town and
they like to never have let us have Sunday
movies on account of they knew that the

they would have to wait a day to hear all
the dirt. There's nothing like spending a
good Sunday afternoon, after a nice chick­en
dinner, talking of how big a fool your
neighbor is, you know.
I think our ladies have some kind of so­ciety

when there is some particularly nice bit

Another week-end of football and
another series of surprising upsets.
First, Auburn, picked as losers by
I the experts, but who instead tram­pled
all over Tulane to garner ten
points to the Green Wave's none.
After noting the brand of football dis­played
in that game some are speak­ing
optimistically of the Tiger's
chances of winning the Conference
title.
Then Tennessee, 'who had Rose
Bowl aspirations, was humbled, 38-13,
by North Carolina. This was the
worst beating the Vols have taken
since 1925 which, means that the Tar­heels
will be a real threat to Duke's
hopes in the race for the Southern
Conference title.
Alabama came back into expected
form to hand George Washington a
decisive set-back 39-0. It now looks
as though the Crimson Tide will take
the remainder of its schedule in
stride—barring unforeseen handicaps.
The Louisiana State Tigers flashed
their heralded attack and took Texas
18-6. L. S. U. displayed real power
in this game which should help them

With the Southeastern Conference teams in full swing now, observation
of their showings gives a good line on their relative strengths. Critics at
the start of the season forecast strong teams for a few schools and improve­ments
for others. All of the teams in the improvement class have come up
to expectations so far, but the ones that were rated the class of the confer­ence
have been disappointments in their opening engagements.
Tennessee, L .S. U., and Alabama
were given number one ratings to
start the football wars. Alabama was
involved in the first major upset of
the year when they were tied by
Howard in their inaugural game, but
Riley Smith returned to the lineup
Saturday to lead the Red Raiders to
the form that was predicted for them
at the first of the year by swamping
the finest team George Washington
has had in the history of the school.
Tennessee has been the big disappoint­ment.
The Volunteers lost the serv­ices
of Boy Neyland to start the year,
and Major Bill Britton seems to have
trouble getting the Vols off on the
right foot. Their first game was a
dull victory over Southwestern of
Memphis, and then followed this up

Auburn Meets Opelika
In Grid Battle Today
An old gridiron feud will be renew­ed
this afternoon when the Auburn
High "Baby Tigers" meet the Bull­dogs
from Opelika in the new stadium
at the Opelika High School. Always
the biggest game of the season for
both aggregations, the fans can rea­sonably
expect a hard fought game
today when these two almost evenly
matched teams tie up to decide who
has the better team of the two neigh­boring
cities.
Opelika's impressive record, togeth­er
with the fact that Auburn lost the
complete varsity,team last May, gives
her the edge in this annual battle.
Opelika has played two games, win­ning
the first from Tuskegee by an
impressive brand of football, as the
31-0 score indicates. Under the lights
in LaGrange, Opelika lost to the Geor­gians,
13-7. Auburn has played three
games. Tied by Lafayette in the open­ing
game of the season, Auburn got
off to a bad start as she lost many
chances to win the game, but did not
cash in on the breaks. The following
week-end the Tigers met the Blue
Devils from Columbus High and fell
before a great team, 35-0. Last week
the Auburn team played rings around
the strong Columbus Industrial team,
but lost 6-0 after a bad break cost
them a touch down.
Both Auburn and Tennessee will
enter the game this Saturday at Le­gion
Field, Birmingham, with a .500
average in the number of games won
and lost. The two teams have met
only twice, Auburn winning 23-0 in
1900 and Tennessee winning 27-0 in
1929.
During the summer two casualties
beset Tennessee and cast a shadow of
doubt on what had been the most
promising outlook of a decade. The
first was not unexpected. The War
Department transferred Major Bob
Neyland to Panama after his brilliant
nine-year career as head coach. But
Major Bill Britton moved up as head
man, and was ready to continue the
stabilized system which had proved
so effective over a span of years.
Then, in amateur baseball, Phil
Dickens slid inaccurately to the plate
and was taken off the field with a
broken ankle. Dickens was one of the
ablest of triple-threats Southern half­backs—
a strong and elusive runner, a
crack passed and dependable punter.
There was some doubt as to whether
Dickens would appear in action this
fall but he has appeared in the line­up
of the two games thus far but has
not really hit his stride as yet.

Tennessee team has suffered since
1925. L. S. U. lost to Rice to start the
season, but they came back last Sat­urday

The Longhorns don't have the team

Auburn, Georgia, and Kentucky
seem to have made the most improve­ment.
Although Tulane lost to Au­burn,

This team hasn't found itself. Coach
Cox has plenty of outstanding ma­terial
and as soon as he can get a
more coordinated machine together
the Greenies are going somewhere.
Georgia Tech has improved, but it

up mostly of sophomores, into a cham­pionship
contender. You haven't

as the strongest team in the South,
Tennessee is going to fight every min­ute
to atone for the poor showing
they have made this year. Auburn
will face the Vols with an edge in line
i strength, but the Vols advantage is
held in the backfield. In Dickens and
Palmer they have two of the best
backs in the Nation. The Tigers after
their great showing so far are full of

A coach's ability is usually meas­ured
by his lists of victories. He re­ceives
the highest praise when his
team is leading, but a bad year sees
him seeking new teams to coach. The
authorities do not take into consider­ation
the material left after a very
large loss by graduation, or the ma­terial
available in a new freshman
line-up.
There are only 13 coaches with the
same teams they coached 10 years
ago. Most of these are found in the
mid-west and Pacific coast colleges,
Henry Hughes of Colorado State Ag­ricultural
College, leads with the list
with a start on his 25th year. He
comes nowhere near approaching the
record established by A. A. Stagg at
Chicago. Stagg began his coaching
career at Chicago in 1892 and resign­ed
in 1932—a total of 40 years.
The average coach turnover is once
every four years, and Auburn has bet­tered
this average by six in ten years.
Rifle Team Members
Will Receive Awards
At the drill period next Tuesday
medals will be awarded to the mem­bers
of last year's rifle team, which
won the Society of American Military
Engineer's Trophy to climax the most
successful year in history.
A meeting to organize this year's
team will be held about the middle of
November, according to Lieut. H. W.
Ehrgott, team coach, prospects for
the year are bright as only three
members from last year's champion­ship
team will be missing, namely Van
Hoose, Casson, and Chapman.
The team this year will be captain­ed
by N. G. Bradford, with J. E. Moy-er
as manager and R. E. Strickland,
treasurer. Beside these three, the
team will consist of 27 men.

Heath was a mainstay of the Phil­lips
high team before launching into
a college career.
McCroskey holds down a regular
berth at guard and Strange is a reg­ular

all outstanding reserves.
This week you will find a new fea­ture
for the sports page that is sure
to prove of interest to all. The ma­jority
of the students know very lit­tle
about the Tiger football players,
so every week some dope on the out­standing
players will be given. This
will include his age, weight, height,
class membership, home address, high
school record and college record.
By Bill Troup
The Vols have been practicing with
grim determination this week for the
Tiger tilt. They have been aroused
to high pitch after the humiliation
they received last week. The Ten­nessee
Volunteers will be out for a
"comeback" when they clash with the
Tigers tomorrow afternoon.
On October 5 the highly-rated Ten­nessee
gridders received a severe set­back
when the mighty North Caroli­na
team routed the Vols 38-13. It
was the worst defeat handed a Ten­nessee
eleven since 1925. Both of
Tennessee's touchdowns were scored
on passes. In the second quarter
Harp passed 26 yards to Ditmore who
raced 35 yards to score. In the final
period Derrtberry heaved a 33 yard
pass to Eblen, who raced 15 yards
for the Vols second score.

This former Lanier high star stepped
into Rojdger's place in the Tulane
encounter and played a whale of a
game.
The greatest factor in Auburn's
victories over Birmingham-Southern
and Tulane has been the defensive
work of the line. This year's line
is destined to go down in history as
being one of the best in the history
of football on the Plains. Coach
Meagher has stressed defense in all
the Tiger's games. In the games last
year Auburn had one of the weakest
offensive punches in the South, but
all the games were lost by close
scores with the line holding its own
with all opponents and with only a
slightly better offensive jnore games

October 13, at 9:45 A. M., ac­cording
to announcement by Ernest
Thornhill, Superintendent of the Col­lege
Sunday School Department. Oth­er
College Sunday School departments
have been extended an invitation to
join with the Baptists and many of
other denominations are expected to
attend.
Dr. Duncan will speak on the sub­ject,
"A College Man and His Relig­ion."
From his observations on and
off the Campus it is expected that his
address will be of real value to those
who hear him.
Dr. Duncan's entire career has been
tied up with young people in some ca­pacity
; having been the organizer and
director of 4-H Club work during the
period 1909-1920 and since in an in­direct
capacity as head of the Exten­sion
Service.

in the Tulane game gives him a
slight preference for starting assign­ment
tomorrow. This junior is one
of the best punters in the South and
very few can excell him in running
plays. He seems to have recouperated
from an early season illness and is
now able to continue the great work
started last year in his first season
of varsity competition. Karam and
Hitchcock are slated to see plenty of
action.
Stewart, Tipper, and Kilgore round

the North Carolina filt, at least two
changes in Tennessee's starting line­up
are likely. Needham, stocky
guard, is suffering from a sprained
knee. Capt. Palmer may not see
much service because of a foot in­jury.
It is also doubtful whether
Krause, regular quarterback, will see
much action due to injuries. Several
other members of the Vol squad re­ceived
cuts and bruises but have
healed sufficiently to permit them
playing in the Auburn game this
Saturday.
The Volunteers have the largest
squad ever assembled at Knoxville
this year. Two dozen freshmen have
moved up to the varsity group, bring­ing
an assortment of talents. The
line hardly can fail to be stronger
physically than in recent years, de­spite
the graduation of Warmath and
Hatley, a superb pair of guards.

of Ted Lewis and Band.
The program, according to Yank
Freidman, director, will be a series of
novelty numbers with the new ar­rangement
of the Blue Danube as the
musical background. A few of the
high spots of the evening will be: Bill

of one of Joe Vernutti's jazz numbers,
and Babe Lacey reviving his speciality

During the year ending June
30, 1900, the Government
collected from cigarette taxes
' $3,969,191
For the year ending June 30,

Cigarettes give a lot of
pleasure to a lot of people.
ft/Lorecigarettes are smoked today because
more people know about them—they are better advertised.
But the main reason for the increase is that they are made
better—made of better tobaccos; then again the tobaccos are
blended — a blend of Domestic and Turkish tobaccos.
Chesterfield is made of mild, ripe tobaccos.
Everything that science knows about is used in
making it a milder and better-tasting cigarette.
We believe you will enjoy them.
