C. E. CONVENTION
TO BE HELD HERE
. THIS WEEK END
MEETINGS COMMENCE SATUR­DAY,
3:00 P. M.
Auburn is again to be signally
honored; this time the honor is in
the form of a Christian Endeavor
Sixth District Convention, to be
held here on November 1 and 2 at
the Presbyterian Church. A great
many delegates are expected- to at­tend,
most of whom will be girls.
All the delegates will be from the
Sixth District which includes
Montgomery.
This convention is a big thing
for Auburn in the line of young
people's work. It is hoped that all
cooperation possible will be shown.
Let us show the visitors what Au­burn
is, and stands for, what real
"Auburn Spirit" is. These dele­gates
are expecting big things of
Auburn. We have never fallen
down on any proposition we have
tried, and we shall not this time.
The biggest difficulty experienced
was the housing problem, which
has been solved satisfactorily. Va-rious
committees have been work­ing
on the plans to make the con­vention
a big success.
Plenty of good speakers will be
on the program. As the Christian
Endeavor Society is not confined
to the Presbyterian Church, as is
evidenced by the fact that there are
more Christian Endeavorers in oth­er
denominations than in the Pres­byterians,
everybody is invited to
attend.
Among the speakers will be H.
O. Bernard, State President of C. E.;
F. F. Ballard, Registration Manager
State C. E.; A. Clinton Decker, State
Officer; W. D. Shepard of Mont­gomery,
Active worker in C. E.;
Edwin Terry of Millbrook, Ala.,
former Auburn student; and our
own "Bobby'' Miles.
The program will be-as follows:
SATURDAY
9:00 P. M. Open Meeting, C. E.
Convention, Presbyterian Church.
7:30 P. M. Second Session, C. E.

Randolph Co.
Farmers At­tend
Meet on
Ag. Campus
STUDY IS MADE OF BOLL WEE­VIL
ERADICATION
SO MEMBERS PRESENT
Fifty farmers from Randolph
County visited the experiment sta­tion
here last Friday for the pur­pose
of observing and studying re­sults
of fertilizer experiments on
cotton, spacing tests and also the
result of poisoning for boll weevil
control. The party was in charge
of Mr. R. Y. Bailey, county agent.
The party arrived in the fore­noon
and Prof. Funchess, director
of the experiment station, took
charge of them and explained the
several cotton fertilizer tests and
experiments in progress. They
visited each plot where the exam­ination
was'made. Questions asked
by the farmers in the party reveal­ed
that they are especially inter­ested
in information pertaining to
cotton fertlizers and poisonings for
boll weevil control. Results of these
experiments here this year are very
convincing as to the value of the
proper fertilization and poisoning
although Prof. Funchess was un­able
to give them exact figures be­cause
all the cotton on these tests
and experiments has not been har­vested.
While in Auburn the Randolph
County farmers took advantage of
an opportunity to see the agricul­tural
buildings, the livestock, the
orchard and other things on the ag­ricultural
campus. They appeared
to be delighted with what they had
seen, heard and learned.
DEMOLAYS ORGANIZE
For the past several years it has
been the ambition of Masons in Au­burn
to see their younger brothers,
the DeMolays, united In a club.
Their hopes were fully realized
Monday night, at the Masonic Club
rooms, where DeMolays from prac­tically
every chapter in the state
held an enthusiastic meeting under
the chairmanship of Master Mason
Frank Dorrill.
Mr. Dorrill gave a brief talk, in
which he outlined the purposes of
DeMolay, encouraged them to carry
on their work, and promised
the full support of all members of
the Square and Compass Club. At
his suggestion, the following offic­ers
were elected, and took charge
of the meeting. President, Clay­ton
H. Dow; Vice-president, Wil­liam
. M. Frank; Secretary and
Treasurer, Clyde C. Pearson. After
a short discussion of the work for
the coming year, the meeting ad­journed.
The next meeting will be Novem­ber
3, at the Square and Compass
House, where a short program will
be given, hesides the regular busi­ness.
All Masons, DeMolays, and
those interested, are requested to be
present promptly at 8:30 P. M.

FRESH. LITERARY SOCIETY
The Freshman Literary Society
met last Monday night to install
permanent officers and hear the
first draft of the constitution. Af­ter
a very entertaining reading by
Miss Gibbs, the constitution com­mittee
made its report. The dis­cussion
on the constitution, how­ever,
was carried over to the next
meeting and after some thrilling
and humorous ballots the following
officers were elected:
President, Miss Carlson; Vice-
President, Mr. Williams; Secretary-
Treasurer, Mr. Richardson; Critic,
Mr. Merriewether; Sergeant-at-
Arms, Mr. Sellers; Program Com­mittee,

AUBURN PLAYERS
HOLD MEETING
The Dramatic Club held its reg­ular
meeting Monday night at which
several business matters were dis­cussed.
Several men applied for
admission into the club and
were given try-outs. Five appli­cants
were taken in. Several oth­ers
will be given try-outs at the
next meeting.
The Club is going to produce
several one act plays in the near
future. The main play that is to
be given before Christmas will be
"David Garrick". This play will
be presented about December first.
All members are urged to try for
a place in this play. Those wish­ing
to have a place on the casts of
the one act plays will be given try-outs
Monday night, November 3rd
at 7 o'clock.
Plans were discussed at the meet­ing
for heating the club room and
rearranging the partitions so as to
have more room for practices. An
appeal was made for some member
to donate an old drawing board
with which to make a miniature
stage. Any member who has a
drawing board that can be utilized
for this purpose will be highly ap­preciated.

20 DISCUSSION
GROUPS ORGAN­IZED
BY Y. M. C. A.
REGULAR DISCUSSION MEET­INGS
TO BE HELD WEEKLY
Twenty Discussion Groups have
been organized in the past few
days by the Friendship Council in
the fraternities, boarding houses
and dormitory, under the super­vision
of Mr. A. S. Hodges, chair­man
of this committee. These
groups meet once each week to
discuss problems that may be
brought up on the campus relating
to the student body. The prob­lems
are discussed in the light of
Christianity and references are
taken from the Bible. Personal
illustrations by the members of the
groups add to the attraction. It
is of the utmost importance that
these campus problems be discuss­ed
in this manner and the new
view gained in these groups is
often carried to the student body
as a whole. The faculty has a rep­resentative
at each of these meet­ings,
not as an adviser but mere­ly
a member of the discussion. This
serves to strengthen the relation
between the faculty and students
as well as among the students
themselves.
Mr. Miles conducts a Normal
Class each Monday night, at which
each group has a representative.
The important points of the prob­lems
are discussed here and the
conclusions and illustrations taken
to the various groups by their mem­bers
present.
These groups add much to the
improvement of campus life and
each student in Auburn should at­tend
one of them. •»

REGULAR PROGRAMS GIVEN
WILSONIAN SOCIETY
In accordance with the new rul­ing
passed last week the Wilson-ian
opened last Tuesday night with
the reading of the Scriptures. Miss
Smith gave an interesting talk on
measuring ourselves in respect to
both physical and spiritual stand­ards.
Bat Hydrick then presented
an original version of why I came
to Auburn. Miss Gibbs gave anoth­er
of her very entertaining dramat­ic'readings.
In explanation of the
general interest in Auburn of the
life of Vachel Lindsay, Miss Hare
gave another interesting side-light
on his life that was very interest­ing.
Mr. Duran gave an interesting
talk on the progress of the A. I.
E. E. Mr. Glenn gave some really
original jokes that were fully ap­preciated.
After the reports of
the various representatives to and
from the other societies, all of
which reports were by the way
distinctly in favor of the Wilson-ian,
Professor Kirkley explained
fully the purpose and rules of the
coming declamation contest. This
contest is going to he something
worthwhile. Wait and watch.
SENIORS RECEIVE UNIFORMS
Seniors taking R. O. T. C. have
had their uniform completed by
the addition of that long yearned
for "Sam Brown" belt.. For the
remainder of this school year they
virill come forth gaily bedecked as
cadet officer:
A very constructive program is
being carried on by the radio de­partment
of the college. The local
station, both in broadcasting and in
experimental work has done some
very excellent work since its in­ception.
However, to keep pace
with the improvements and devel­opment
in the field, some changes
are being made.
The broadcaster, WMAV, donated
by the Birmingham News, which
has made some very good long dis­tance
records, is being rebuilt and
is to be installed in a new operating
room on the third floor of the
engineering building.
A new mast is to be erected upon
the engineering building and a
large aerial to be supported by it
and the old mast. This will give
a much more effective antenna sys­tem,
and one that will be notice­able
from the trains and for miles
around.
The radio course has been ex­tended
by the addition of an ad­vanced
class, in which broadcast
staton engineering theory and
practice will be stressed, with vac­uum
tubes ?nd their applications
as the basic work. The members
of this class are doing the greater
part of the rebuilding of the station,
with the help of the first year class.
The college is rapidly taking the
lead in the radio field among col­leges
in the south, and among the
most progressive in the country.
To extend the field of usefulness
to the members of the institution
who are interested in radio, the
Auburn Radio Club has been or­ganized.
The club meets twice a
month, and has very good pro­grams,
on the subject. The mem­bers
have a chance to discuss their
problems, and keep up with the
latest in the development of the art.
In connection with its operation
the club has been allowed the use
of part of the large room used for
code instruction. This room is be­ing
refinished and improved in a
fitting manner for such purpose.
In it will be installed a good receiv­ing
set for the use of the club mem­bers.
A Technical Training School Li­cense
is to be issued the college
within a few days, in addition to
the Experimental License now held,
under which members of the ad­vanced
course are experimenting
with sets using the high frequen­cies,
or low wavelengths, recently
allowed by the Bureau of Naviga­tion,
on wavelengths of 5, 20, 40,
80, 105, and adjecent bands.
Further developments are under
way, and will be announced within
a few days.
BAPTIST STUDENTS
GO TO MARION
FOR B.Y.P.U. MEET
SPLENDID PROGRAMS ENJOY­ED
BY 26 DELEGATES
H. L. MAYERS
KILLED IN ACCIDENT
The sad news has reached us that
H. L Mayers of the class of '14
met his death in an auto accident,
October 25, at Hurtsboro, Ala.
The Auburn delegation, twenty-six
strong, left the village at 8:30
Friday morning. Five cars fur­nished
the means, of conveyance.
The party went by way of Mont­gomery,
and Selma. The trip was
educational as well as morally up­lifting
and beneficial.
It is enough to say in the begin­ning
that the Marion trip was a
decided success from the stand­point
of Judson College and the
fair damsels that add a romantic
and picturesque touch to the col­lege
and its surroundings. Some
of the company had never been
fortunate enough to visit a female
college before. The more backward
were seized with a feeling of
fear, and their innocent counten­ances
were marred, on this account.
The "Shieks" made a bold rush, but
were soon forced to retreat. A fel­low'who
had been used to meeting
them one at a time found himself
sadly, lacking when accosted by a
dozen or more. "Co-ed" Ivey, and
T. L. Crowd-her lamented the fact
that they had never studied Social
Ethics and related
All Baptist schools, colleges and
state schools were represented, ex­cept
two of the state schools. The
pennants of the various schools
were tacked on the walls of the'
church. Much school spirit was in
evidence.
The program contained subjects
of vital interest to college students.
The slogan was "Make Christ Cam­pus
Commander." Every speaker
•tressed the importance of clean
living on the campus, and its rela­tion
to efficient work for Christ.
The leading speakers were: Dr.
J. P. Boone, Dr. R. G. Lee, Mr. Frank
Leavell, Dr. John L. Hill, Dr. George
Lang, Mr. D. F. Green, Dr. J. W.
Cammack, Dr. E. A. Fuller, Dr. T.
W. Ayers and Mrs. W. C. James.
All speakers stressed the need for
service among college students. Ap­peals
were also made for a State
Student Religious Secretary, and
College Religious Secretary.
The student speakers were: Ha­zel
Black, Mildred Green, Madeline
Dix, James Ivey, Jr., Jeanette Rick?
les, Noble Beall, Arthur Wilson,
Irene Yielding, Henry Rogers, O.
Turner Ivey, Geo. Saxon, Zenora
Wilhite, Elton Johnson, Jewel
Chancy, Sally Ruth Starkey, Geor­gia
Thomas, and B. S. Ling, a Chi­nese
student. Points stressed by
them were: The problem of in­creasing
the spiritual life on the
campus; that more time should be
allotted to religious activities; there
is a lack of daily devotional life
and personal contact; the necessity
for christian students to be loyal to
Christ; a great need for better or­ganization
for carrying on religious
work; the control of the campus
should be student control; a spirit
against evils should be created on
the campus.
The music was led by J. B. Al­derman,
of Howard College, and
assisted by the Judson Glee Club.
The music was inspiring and up­lifting.
All the representatives were
greatly benefited. The conference
caused all to strive to make Christ
the Commander of our home cam­pus.

TO THE BLEACHERS
-i£- .
Have you thought of the fact that, that big Tiger has not allowed
a single score against them for twenty quarters? Anyone that says
that the old Auburn spirit is not alive is just way off the track. Now
think for a minute about the schedule that is in front of us. It is
one of the hardest in the South and it is going to take a lot of fight
to keep 'em away from the goal line, but with the proper amount of
fight by both the team and the student body, it can be done. It has
been done. Let's do it again. The more you get out and tell that
ytemii. »Jff* JSHT want them to "Down Vandy," "Smash Tulane," "Get
Georgia," and '"Wreck ^Tech," the more pep they will have. There
is one day in every week thai everyone should be on the bleachers.
That is on Wednesday. If you have not been going out before, get
the old spirit out there for the next three Wednesdays anyway. Tell
--your friends to meet you there.

THE MASS MEETINGS
n
It is our opinion that a great step forward was taken, last week
when class meetings were held for the purpose of asking the student
body to cooperate in making the mass meetings cleaner and better.
Coach Pitts, Turk, and the Presidents of the classes deserve much
credit for the inauguration of this plan and the fine manner in
which it was presented.
The mass meeting held prior to the L. S. U. game, was, in our
opinion, one of the best and cleanest ever held in Auburn. Lang­don
Hall was filled with students whose sole purpose and thought
was to get the old fighting spirit into that' team. They were there
to put out some real mean yells. And if you will take it from one
who was present, they did that thing. The yells sounded louder,
meaner, and more like a hall full of Tigers than a hall full of sticks,
blank pistols, and other things that detract from the real spirit of
the meeting.
It"was a great step and the student body is to be congratulated on
its splendid cooperation.
STUDENT TICKETS
f
Did you ever stop to think that a Student ticket means a STU­DENT
ticket? These special rates are given students on account of
the fact that they are students an J to encourage them to go to the
games. If these tickets are sold at reduced rates students will natur­ally
buy them instead of the other tickets. This causes the student
body to. stay together. Now it is very important that they be to­gether
for you know how much it helps that team for the whole
gang to be together and behind them.
Some students do not think what it means to sell their ticket (or
give it away as the case may be) for it is done in some cases. When
a ticket is sold it means that someone that does not know the yells
and is not altogether behind the team, will be filling up space and
scattering those who are behind tha team. You can readily see that
such a thing is true and will hurt the spirit of the game. Now let's
look at it from another angle. Is it quite fair to the associations
concerned, to sell a ticket to one who should pay the regular ad­mission?
You also signed the little coupon book which stated that tickets
were non-transferable. Don't you think it would be better to still
consider them so? Give this a thought and don't sell yours or ask
someone else to sell theirs.
No, Oswald, when a man says
that he is going to drill he does
not necessarily mean for oil.
Could you call a well oiled man
a magnate?
He had eleven million dollars in
stocks, bonds and rents. She had
forty million dollars so they merg­ed
their sentiments. Now they have
a son whose value is xexactly thirty
cents. .
Little Sister—Aren't the children
in high school young these days?
Why, my younger brother there is
still wearing socks.
Fats—That's nothing. Your broth­er
here wears no socks at all.
Dopey says that he wants to go
to college with the Rah, Rah, boys.
He wants to go to college and make
a lot of noise. He's no student or
an athletic star, but he's right there
with the Rah, Rah, Rah.
A speech in favor of the great
open spaces will be delivered by
Archie Shaffer at the next convoca­tion
period. The speaker needs no
introduction, and is reputed to
have ten acres in his front yard.
Come and you shall hear.

While in Birmingham last Saturday, the writer heard an alumnus
of Auburn say that the cheering done by the Auburn students at the
game was the best that he ever heard. Was he right? Let's make
'em all say that he was.

It's appalling—the number of cig­arettes
that college boys smoke
daily. Eminent mathematicians say
that if they don't cut down on them
that the majority of them will die
before they are one hundred years
old.
Of course we Auburn students
feel like studying several hours
each night. We only make classes
eight hours per" day. We have to
take twenty-one hours credit work
when the highest standing schools
in the country only require sixteen.
We take lots of stuff that could be
left out and for which we would
be none the less informed. Why
not have less actual hours in class
and more time in which to study
and prepare lessons?

KNICKERBOCKERS
I can wear them on the golf course
with no feeling of regret,
But I haven't worn my knickers on
the public highway yet;
_ i .
I can wear them on the seashore,
where I'm sure that none will
frown,
But I v lack the moral courage to
wear- knickeps when in town.
Now these grown-up knickerbock­ers
looked all right on men
who golf,
But when I reach the club house
then I want to get them off;
And 'when I go out walking on the
streets by night or day,
I wear my good old trousers—I feel
better dressed that way.
There's a time for knickerbockers;
They've a purpose on the
course;
They're both sensible and proper
for the man who rides a horse;
But I marvel at the courage of a
chap in checkered gray
Who was wearing knickerbock­ers
on the avenue today.

HOPE YET
"In the spring a young man's fancy
Lightly turns to thoughts of love."
Sally read and sadly pondered
On that statement scribed above.
Sally's face was sad and weary,
Sally had a lonesome look.
O'er and o'er she read those lines
From her Enlish book.
Sally wasn't studying,
She was thinking of the past
When Archibald adored her
And his love seemed sure to last.
"In the spring a young man's
fancy—"
Sally read and Sally thought
Then her face brightened a little
As if she'd found the words she
sought.
"In the fall a young man's fancy

COLLEGE REGULATIONS
CONTROLLING ABSENCES
Students are expected to attend
every recitation, convocation, or
laboratory period. One additional
semester hour will be required for
each sixteen unexcused absences
and major fraction thereof, count­ing
absences in all subjects, includ­ing
convocation. A zero may be
given for each unexcused absence
from class.
Each absence incurred within
three days before and three days
after an official college holiday
will be counted as two absences.
When a student's absences, excus­ed
or unexcused, equal twenty-five
per cent of the total number of
class or laboratory periods in any
subject during the semester, he will
be dropped from that subject by
the instructor and his parents or
guardian notified. If the student's
work, is thereby reduced below the
minimum number of hours required
the student will be directed /• to
withdraw from the college upon
recommendation of his dean.
Students should not make the
mistake of supposing they are at
liberty to be absent from class pro­vided
they do not reach the pen­alty
limit. The total of 16 is quick­ly
reached. Furthermore, the
council refuses to reinstate a
student dropped from a class
through operation of the 25 per
cent rule if any of the absences are
not officially excused.
EXCUSED ABSENCES
As many absences as twice the
number of class, convocation, or
laboratory periods per week in a
subject may be excused provided
they are due to sickness of the stu­dent
as reported by the surgeon to
the registrar .serious illness in the
immediate family, of the student
requiring him to leave college, or
to leave of absence granted to the
student as a representative of the
college, on application properly
approved and filed in the registrar's
office.
LEAVE OF ABSENCE <
No students except seniors have
permission to leave Auburn unless
their application is approved by
the registrar. Seniors must also
have the registrar's approval if they
miss any college duty while away
from Auburn. These regulations
do not apply to visiting Opelika un­less
college work is missed.

A. I. E. E. Sees Magic "Rat"
The local branch of the Ameri­can
Institute of Electrical Engi­neers
held their regular meeting on
October 22.
After a short business session,
the single feature of the program
was the performance of Omar, the
Magic "Rat." He startled the au­dience
time after time with his
well covered tricks. This Rat was
Mr. Earl Meadows. He rivaled the
professional magician in mastery
of his numerous illusions.
Members of the Branch were glad
to have present a large number of
visitors, besides a record breaking
attendance of members. Among
the visitors were several co-eds.

Then they bring to its aid new discoveries

In 1886, George Westinghouse saw that
industrial growth could not be furthered
by direct current alone. The "game" re­quired
a new style of play. So when the
rudiments of a transformer came along—
opening the way for alternating current,
Westinghouse adopted both, perfected
them, and paved the way for the electrical
era of the present time.
In an organization like Westinghouse,
these "quarterbacks of industry" are called
"application engineers". They are mechan­ical

forces of electricity to every variety of
human need.
Westinghouse application engineers first
applied motors to the steel industry, the
textile industry, the automobile industry.
They introduced electricity to railroads
and ships. They developed it for heating
purposes.
Application engineers are needed in in­dustry—
they fill an important and ex­panding

Today and tomorrow and for
days to come, our hearts are filled
with sadness. However, this sad­ness,
which seems a little selfish,
is slowly but surely turning to a
thankfulness that the knowledge
and intimacy of such a life was
given to us even for so short a
time.
From the extremities of our first
sorrow we are beginning to look

Her friends who have been with

times that they have never heard
her speak a harsh word, or seen
her lose her temper, even in a tri­vial
matter. Her days were filled
with a conscientious study of the
work she was attempting and her
spare time_ was filled with those
things which would help others.

Margaret came to Auburn soon
after her birth, which was Novem­ber
11, 1904, and lived her life
here growing into the very vitals
of the "Village of the Plains," even
as the town grew to be a part of
her. Through her seven years of
grammar school and four years of,
high school she grew in soul, mind,
and body, much as other girls,
except she reached a degree of
fineness, strength, and sweetness
that was not for others.
Then came the first attack of
sinus trouble, much like that which
took her from us, this time causing
her the loss of one year from
school. After recovery she enter­ed
the class of '27, but to those who
knew her intimately there was a
difference. This difference was a
certain rather distinct growth in
the things which previously had
made her stand out from other
girls.
As she went about her duties day
by day and her life touched other
lives the tediousness of it, for oth­ers,
seemed as it came in contact
with her, to be embodied in a joy
of working that gave them new zest
for it all. The Kappa Delta Sor­ority
found a member, somewhat
to the surprise of a few who knew
her but little, of strength, of char­acter,
judgment, faithfulness, and
ability. To those who are familiar
with the creed and standards of the
sorority she has seemed many times
to be the ideal Kappa Delta, the
goal for which they strive.
At the end of her Freshman year
she was asked to become a member
of the Y. W. C. A. Cabinet and for
the short time that she was al­lowed
to work she took her place
to wait, living meanwhile in some
thing of the sweetness which she j contradicted the somewhat habit-left
behind her, knowing that w e ' u a l seriousness that seemed to pre­vail
in the general expression.
But, enough, those who know
her could, in the love and sorrow
of their hearts, talk on endlessly.
Her life to many of us brought
strength, joy, and courage but her I
death has brought a new vision
| that makes life more worth living
to us and to others, for her life
and passing on have given us a
conception of the opportunities and
possibilities that come to us all,
and a recognition of those things
which can, and do, mean most to
us and to others.
Last Friday the entire woman's
student body was thrown into the
deep sorrow when the members
learned of the critical illness of
one of their number. As soon as
the message of her illness was re­ceived
a group of girls went to the
little Y. W. C. A. Hut and there
held a continuous prayer service
for her and her anxious family.
Margaret's life was spared for
only a short time longer to those
who loved her. The prayers, how­ever,
whiph, asdended together
from the Y. W. Hut served a great
purpose. Each one of the women
students, at some time during the
day, spent some of her time with
that group, and each became bound
to each in common purpose and sor­row.
In death, as in life Margaret's
sweet spirit exerts its influence.
Now, as never before, the women
students of the college feel in deep
harmony, one with the other. The
smallness of any little barriers or
distinctions was realized in the
hour of sorrow and the life of each
girl was broadened and strengthen

GOAL LINE
INTACT
With The Enemy
Two of Auburn's bitter rivals met
last Saturday when the Georgia
and Vanderbilt teams did battle up
at Nashville, The Bulldogs sprung
a surprise by beating the mighty
Commodores 3 to 0, a drop kick
by Scrappy Moore furnishing the
'margin. Good defensive work by
the Vandy line kept the Crackers
from scoring a touchdown on two
occasions. The Georgians seem to
have the stuff this year and are
bound to give trouble to everybody
they meet this year. In spite of
their two successive defeats the
Commodores have one of the
strongest teams in the South, and
Auburn will have the hardest fight
of the season on hand this Satur­day.
Georgia will act as host to the
University of Tennessee this week-end
and the indications are that
they will give them a rather inhos­pitable
reception.
Something happened last week
that has occurred but few times be­fore—
Georgia Tech was beaten on
Grant Field. The winners were
the 'Bama boys, and the difference
in ability was 14 points. Alabama
has one of her strongest teams this
year, and is putting in a determin­ed
bid for Conference honors. The
"Thin Red Line" is not quite so
thin as usual, averaging over 200
pounds from end to end.
Tech will try to stage a come­back
against the flying Irishmen of
Notre Dame this week, while Ala­bama
will have a comparatively
easy opponent in the University of
Mississippi team. *
The Green Wave of Tulane con­tinued
to gain in strength and
washed over the Spring Hill outfit
by a 33 to 0 score. Springhill nev­er
had a chance, and after the first
quarter the Greenies scored almost
at will. Tulane seems to have one
of her best teams in years, and Au­burn
can look for a squall in
Montgomery on November 8.
Tulane will get plenty of action
from the Mississippi Aggies next
Saturday. The Aggies got off to a
poor start but are coming along
fast and last Saturday administer­ed
a licking to the University of
Tennessee.

On next Thursday evening the
Tiger supporters will meet and
give vocal evidence of their loyal­ty.
When Bill Wood calls the meet­ing
to order (or will it be disorder)
everybody and his brother is ex­pected
to be there.
Every Auburn man who can pos­sibly
make the trip is urged to be
in Montgomery next Saturday, al­though
it should require little urg­ing,
since he will have a chance to
see a real game. Tulane has a great
team this year, and are thinking
in terms of beating Auburn, and
the Student body should turn out
enmasse to see that such a catas­trophe
does not happen.
Speaking Of Sports
There is a great deal of comfort
to be derived from the fact that
Auburn is now leading the South­ern
Confertnce. Of course there
are several other teams leading al­so
but that is only a technicality
and not to be considered.
The main point is that the Tigers
have already annexed two confer­ence
games and have an equal op­portunity
to capture four more, al­though
of course there is an equal
opportunity of losing four.
Last year several of our stu­dents
complained of having to go
home at vacation time and answer­ing
embarrassing questions from
students of sister institutions as to
the number of conference games
won by Auburn during the season.
This year the questions will not be
so embarrassing for if Auburn
fails to win another game, they
will still be able to claim a suc­cessful
season in view of the hard
schedule. And unless we miss our
guess by several miles, there will
be more than two conference
games won by the Tigers this year.
able to do any damage to the Third
Corps Area. This Saturday they
will discuss the relative ability of
the Army and the Marine Corps,
their opponents being the Quanti-co
Marines.
Yale seems to be the only team
of the Big Three that is able to up­hold
said Big Three's reputation
as an unbeatable football combina­tion.
The Notre Dame bunch ran
wild with Princeton Saturday,
while Harvard's lickings are get­ting
to be a weekly affair.
The football prognostigator on
the Crimson-White was one of the
few gentlemen of the press that
picked Auburn to beat L. S. U. If
several of Birmingham's citizens
had read the Crimson-White they
might have been a bit more careful
about spotting Auburn seven points
and then giving 3-2 odds that the
Louisianans would come out on
top.
The Auburn Line has hung a No
Trespassing sign on the crossbar
of the Auburn goal posts. So far
this rule has been rigidly enforc­ed,
the dark forms of fbur law­breakers,
are looming on the hori­zon,
and the Tigers will have quite
a job keeping the goal line intact.
George Smythe and his playmates
went up to Baltimore but were un­it
is an honor to beat a team
like the boys from the Bayou State.
Hard hitting but clean, and game
all the way through, they make
ideal opponents. It is to be hoped
that this game will become an an­nual
affair.
Larger and larger is growing the
Bulldog of Georgia, and it looks as
if he will develop into a very un­pleasant
and troublesome I canine

mentor, and Coach Mike was
forced to sit and watch his pupils
go down in defeat, although the
defeat was a glorious one, and the
Bayou Staters went down clawing
and fighting to the very end.
There were many stars in the
game, as both teams were fighting
tooth and nail and every man had
to give the best that was in him,
but there was one whose work
stands above all, and that was Cap­tain
Fatty Lawrence. The rotund
one seemed to be everywhere at
once, and his judgment of oppos­ing
plays was almost uncanny.
Then of course there was Buck
WHliams, who added another field
goal to his rapidly growing list,
and Dean Petersen, who played his
usual steady and heady game, to
say nothing of Pea Green with his
long runs and Sealion Turner with
his terrific line plunging and his
magnificent backing.
On the line, the two Tiger tackles
were towers of strength, tearing
the opposing line to shreds. Noisy
Grisham and Red Harkins were ex­pected
to star, but if anything,
they outdid themselves. The guards
and ends also performed as Auburn
guards and ends should perform,
and Coach Mike found out to his
sorrow that the Auburn line is just
as adamant as of old.
The Louisianans also showed
several stars. The most sensation­al
work of the game was the pass­ing
of Stevens. This worthy toss­ed
the pigskin as if it had been a
baseball, and he was accuracy per­sonified,
his passes usually going
just where they were intended to
go. Pitcher did the best punting
of the game, and also tore off some
nice gains through the line. The
work of O. Weaver in running
down punts was of the highest or­der,
while the two tackles, Camp­bell
and A/ Weaver, also covered
themselves with glory. The entire
L. S. U. team played a brilliant
and courageous game and looked
as splendid in defeat as did the
Auburnites in vctory.
The Tigers from Louisiana kick­ed
off directly into the chubby
arms of Minnie Brice and the North
Carolinian returned for five yards
before hitting the terrain. Pea
Green then loped around end for a
gain, and about this time the L. S.
U. center was rendered hors de
combat. With a new pivot man on
deck the game was resumed. At
first it looked like Auburn was go­ing
to pile up a commanding lead.
Time after time they would ad­vance
the ball into L. S. U. terri­tory,
but every time the Louisiana
line would hold. On one heart­breaking
occasion Williams at­tempted
one of his famous fifty
yard placement kicks and miss­ed
by a matter of split centi­meters.
However, persistence was
not to be denied and in the
second quarter Buckshot propelled
one between the posts from the
thirty-five yard mark, this furnish­ing
the winning margin.
Auburn decisively outplayed
Campbell and Co. in the first half,
making seven first downs to one
and gaining one hundred and for­ty
yards to their opponents' twen­ty-
two. The whistle at the end of
the half was probably all that sav­ed
L. S. U. from a touchdown, Au­burn
making a first down on their
seventeen yard line.
From the very beginning of the
second half there was a different
story to be told. L. S. U. took the
offensive at the very beginning and
refused to relinquish it except for
very rare intervals. It was at this

Tiger Rats Lose to
Georgians in Opeiika
While the Varsity was adminis­tering
a 3-0 drubbing to Mike's
Louisiana Staters the Bulldogs from
Georgia were converting the play­ing
field over in Opeiika into a race
track. Without the least regard
for the feelings of the lighter team
from the rather deserted village,
the Georgia Rats trampled them un­der
foot, picked the linesmen up
and carried them down the field
but failed to lower them gently to
the ground, and then would carry
the pigskin over when they tired
of playing with them. After they
accumulated forty-six markers they
decided to call it a day.
During the season Coach Newell
has used a total of thirty-seven men
or more than three full teams. The
game Saturday revealed a decided
weakness at blocking and tackling,
the Georgia Freshmen boxing a
whole side of the line in at times.
One of the bright spots of the game
from an Auburn standpoint was the
drive which carried the ball down
to the very shadow of the goal and
which paved the way for the safe­ty,
our only marker of the game.
The Georgia back dropped behind
the goal line to punt the ball out
of danger after an unsuccessful ef­fort
of our Rats to put it across.
Patterson and Primm, two sterling
linesmen for the Tiger Cubs, broke
through and blocked the attempt,
Primm falling on the ball.
For the youthful Plainsmen the
defensive work of Patterson, Scott
and Manly was the whole show,
while Shotts and Granger were the
main contributors in the ground-gaining
department. Primm's stel­lar
performance at guard was very
encouraging, both on the defensive
and the offensive. The Rodents
from Athens have an excellent team
this year, combining fleetness wit'ri
steady plugging and a bewildering
aerial attack.
Next Friday will be the first op­portunity
many of us will have to
see the Baby Tiger in action when
they meet another team of the ca­nine
variety, the Bullpups from
Howard, on the campus. It will
be worth two bits out of anybody's,

Rats are reputed to be unusu­ally
strong this year so we'll see a
hot old'fight. .

Scrubs Lose to Air
Station in Close Game
The Auburn Scrub team suffer­ed
defeat at the hands of the strong
Naval Air Station gridsters Satur­day
in Pensacola by the score of
10-0. The game was hard fought
and hotly contested throughout, the
scrub team gaining strength as the
game proceeded. All scoring was
done during the first half by Pen­sacola,
and the Navy boys threat­ened
only once in the last half. Au­burn
lacked the necessary drive to
even threaten, making only one
first down, this being made by two
runs of Frankie Bogue, one for 6
yards and the other for 5 yards.
The scrubs were much out weigh­ed
and considering the odds against
them, their hard trip, lack of prac­tice
together, and the weight, they
made a good showing. It is a job
to try and pick out the star of the
game as everyone put all he had
into it. Moulton's punting saved
the scrubs from a larger score be­ing
run up against them as he punt­ed
50 yards and out of bounds
quite a few times. Bogue handled
the quarterback berth creditably,
while he received splendid support
from Hoffman and Spinks in the
backfield. In the line "Shorty"
Long, Trammel, and "Fats" McNeil
did splendid work. Injuries were
light except in the case of Aldridge
who suffered a broken nose, and
McNeil who lost his front upper
teeth in the first play that he was
in the game. John Shirey knock­ed
McNeil's teeth out a couple of
years ago, so it was not the first
time that "Fats" has been deprived
of his front fangs. Only three sub­stitutions
were made during the
game. They were: Mims for Hoff­man,
Hoffman for Mims, McNeil for
Pruitt, and Irving for Trammel.
A delightful dinner-dance was
given after the game, and if it was
not exactly in honor of the Auburn
team as they have them every Sat­urday,
they let the Auburn men in
WRECK THE
HOUSE THAT
VANDY BUILT
Tigers Meet Old
Rivals Saturday
Vandy • Auburn Feud to be
Renewed Again After
Lapse of Several Years
After their triumph over their
peerless old coach, the Tigers are
getting down to work in prepara­tion
for what will probably be
their hardest game of the season.
This statement is made in spite of
the fact that Vanderbilt has al­ready
lost to two of our future op­ponents,
for the Commodores are
not used to defeat and they will
strive mightily when the Tigers
go to Nashville to prevent a repe­tition
of the last two weeks' scores.
The pupils of Coach McGugin are
seriously handicapped by the loss
of their sterling end, Bomar. Twice
an All-Southern man and once an
Ail-American, this man has been a
tower of strength to the Commo­dores,
being used both on the line
and in the backfield, and playing
a superb game both on offense and
defense.
It must not be forgotten, how­ever,
that even with Bomar out,
Vandy can still boast a pair of ends
which has few equals in the coun­try,
namely, McKibbon and Wake­field.
Captain Kelly and Rives at
guard and tackle respectively, are
also men with few equals in all-round
ability. And with Gil Reese
in the backfield the Commodores
are assured of good passing, kick­ing
and splendid running.
The Commodores started off the
season as if they were riding to­ward
another Southern champion­ship.
In the first game they were
held to a 13 to 0 score by Hender­son-
Brown but did not extend them­selves
during the game. On the-"
following Saturday they buried the
Birmingham-Southern Panthers un­der
a 61 to 0 score. This made
things look dubious for Auburn as
they were only able to defeat the
Panthers by one touchdown. Fol­lowing
this they met the strong
Quantico Marines and were able to
tie them by virtue of the fact that
Bomar picked up a fumble and
raced ninety yards for a touch­down.
The Marine game marked the
turning point of the Vanderbilt
fortunes. Several men were injur­ed
in the clash and it was a weak­ened
team that went down to New
Orleans. There Tulane surprised
the football world by handing the
Commodores a 21-13 beating. And
then last Saturday the Bulldogs of
Georgia sprung another surprise •.
by winning a 3 to 0 verdict from
the crippled Tennesseeans. These
two defeats have virtually put Van­derbilt
out of the conference run­ning,
but it has not taken away
their ability to put several other
teams out of the running also.
If Vandy ends the season near
the bottom of the conference the
football followers will be treated to
the paradoxial sight of one of the
best, if not the best, teams in the
conference reposing a goodly dis­tance
from the top. For in spite
of their reverses, the Commodores
can still boast of a powerful eleven
and are bound to give their re­maining
opponents all that they are
looking for.
free so it did not make any dif­ference
in whose honor the party
was given. The team was forced
to leave the gayety early so as to
make their train.

"I fell and bumped my patella,"
she replied. (Bemember, this was

Father was sympathetic. "Pooh
little girl," he said, and proceeded,
with the best intentions, to exam­ine
her elbow. Noreen broke away.
"Huh!" she snorted. "I said my

time the Louisianans would ap­proach
the twenty yard line the
Auburnites would tighten up and
discourage thoughts of scoring. To­ward
the end of the game the L.
5. U. offensive died away and Au­burn's
started up again, but it was
a bit too late.
The game from start to finish
was one of the kind that is far
from helpful to a weak heart, but
the most - sensational play of the
game was when Ollinger picked up
a blocked dropkick and ran back
forty-four yards before being forc­ed

Recently Harry Brooks overstay­ed
his last car at a lodge meeting.
As he came out of the building,
he took up a position in front of
the house of the local doctor and
gazed upward at the darkened win­dows.
Next he pulled himself to­gether
and then pulled at the doc­tor's
bell, nearly tearing it out by
the roots.
"Doctor, doctor, come quickyl"
he cried. "It's a bad case over at
Shillington. Don't delay."
The doctor came bustling down­stairs
and hustled his car out of
the garage. In three minutes they
were off, Harry sitting by the doc­tor.
"That's the house—that one,"
said the passenger at last, at the
end of a spanking drive of at least
five miles. "But what's your fee,
doctor?"
"Oh, five dollars, for an ordinary
night visit," was the reply.
"Then here you are. There wasn't
anyone in the place who would
bring me for less than seven-fifty."
