STUDENTS
Alabama hens in the egg laying
contest in progress here continue
to hold a big lead over hens in
laying contests in other states. A
comparative report by John E.
Ivey for the thirteenth week of five
contests shows that the production
of Alabama hens was 52.7 percent,
while the highest among the other
4 was 47.13 percent and the lowest
27.72 percent.
There are 960 hens in the con­test
here. During the thirteenth
week they laid 3542 eggs, a per­centage
production of 52.7.
During the same week 1000 hens
in a contest at the New, York agri­cultural
college laid 2287 eggs, a
percentage production of ^ 32.67.
At Storrs, Connecticut, which
has been famous for many years
for its egg laying contests, 1400
hens laid 3247 eggs, a percentage
of 34.6. These 1400 hens were ex­actly
294 eggs below 960 hens at
Auburn.
^ At Vinelandj, N. J., 2000 hens
laKd S^Oflfcjeggs a percentage of
47.13. At tflW Bergen County con-test~
in New Jersey 2000 heus laid
3881 eggs, a percentage of 27.72.
Each of these contests began No­vember
1, 1924. They are all for
which Mr. Ivey received official
reports. Comparative production
for the thirteenth week are in line
with previous weeks. It is strong
evidence in favor, of Alabama con­ditions
for egg production.
NATIONAL SEC-TREAS.
TAU BETA PI HONOR
FRATERNITY VISITS AUBURN
Professor Robert C. Matthews,
Secretary-Treasurer of the National
Engineering Honor Fraternity, Tau
Reta Pi, was a visitor for a few
hours in the Village of the Plains
on the morning 'of February 7.
Prof. Matthews came to Auburn
with Prof. Raughman after the in­stallation
of a chapter of Tau Reta
•Pi at Georgia Tech. He was en-route
to Columbus Ga. for a visit
to relatives before returning to
Knoxville, Tenn., where he is a
professor in the machine design
department of the University of
Colonel Kendall Weiseger, Edu­cational
Director of the Bell Tele­phone
Company for nine southeast­ern
states, spent several days in
Auburn this past week interview­ing
prospective graduates. Mr.
Weiseger is well known by Au­burn
Engineering students as this
is his seeond visit during this
school year.
Mr. Weiseger was the speaker
at the regular convocation period
for upper classmen and used as
his subject "The Development of
Personality as a Rasis for a Suc­cessful
Career." In his talk • he
stated that college students have
the responsibility of belonging to
a selected mental class. One of the
necessary qualifications for a suc­cessful
engineer or person of other
vocation is to understand people.
To do this one must have an idea
of their fundamental instincts and
desires. The talk was unusually
interesting to all present.
He also made several other talks
to the engine" i n g students ilong
various phases of thejlwork'of the
Telephone Company. One of the
most interesting of his addresses
was the one given to 'he Y. M. C.
A. Cabinet on Saturday morning on
"Sexual Relations."
Mr. Weiseger is on a tour of the
several colleges of the South where
engineering graduates are to be
found for the purpose of interview­ing
the graduates and selecting a
certain number for the Telephone
Company.

Tennessee. He has held the office
of Sec-Treas. of the national organ­ization
for over twenty years and
is one of the associations most' ac­tive
workers. Due to his. short
stay in Auburn the local chapter
was unable to call a special meet­ing
for his benefit, but several of
the student and faculty members
talked with him of the work of the
organization. Prof. Matthews visi­ted
the new Engineering Ruilding
and was much pleased with the ad­dition
of such a building to Au­burn's
Campus. Prof. Raughman,
an old friend of his, accompani-,
ed him to Columbus.
Fifteen thousand lives were lost
and $500,000,000 in property was
destroyed by fire in 1923 in the
United States, George R. Muldaur,
of the Underwriters Laboratories,
Chicago, declared in two addresses
before Auburn students and mem­bers
of the Auburn Lion's club. Mr.
Muldaur is making a tour of the
south in the interest of fire pre­vention.
He went to Atlanta from
Auburn.
Mr. Muldaur startled his hearers
with the statement thai the huge
losses from fire in this country are
caused largely by ignorance and
carelessness.
"We permit our mothers, our
wives and our children to live in
frame houses without even a fire,
extinguisher," the speaker said
"And almost invariably our base­ments
and) cellars are littered with
boxes and other inflamable mater­ial.
Small wonder that "this country
leads the world in fire losses. The
loss in England and France is about
75 cents per capita, in ilollaud it
is only 11 cents, while in the Unit­ed
States i$ is $5 per capita."
The speaker said one phase of
the work of the Underwriters Lab­oratories
consisted of making tests
of various building material as
well as doors and safes, for instan­ce,
with the view of determining
the fire hazards in each case. The
laboratories, he said, was organiz­ed
for public service in the line
of aiding in the reduction of losses
through preventable fires.—The

outstanding features of the Short
course for graduate veterinarians
that closed on that day. The ban­quet
being) given by the Student V?
M. A., Dr. C. A. Cary, State Veter­inarian
of Alabama, acted as toast
master. The following states were
represented: Georgia, North Caro­lina,
Louisiana, Tennessee, Missou­ri,

On Monday night the Wirt Lit­erary
Society met in Wirt Hall
for its: regular weekly program. As
there was little business, 'the pro­gram
was soon taken up. The first
number was a talk by Mr. W. A.
Garrett on "The Failing Student
Problem In High School". The
speaker stated that the high schools
of Seattle, Washington had worked
out a novel scheme which is get­ting
results that are more or less
satisfactory. The basis of the'Sys­tem
is that the student must pass
three hours of work, if he does
not, then he is transferred to a
lower ungraded school where he is
given personal attention and su­pervision.
<
Miss Nunn gave a talk on "St.
Valentine's Day". Valentine's Day,
so popular with the present gen­eration,
was so named because
Valentine a bishop of Rome, hav­ing
gained the severe displeasure
of the Roman emperor by his
great work in furthering Christ­ianity,
was killed on that day,
Feb. 14. It is alsd said that the
day was noted because the birds
chose their mates on that day. The
first Valentines- were in the form
cartoons, some of them printed and
some hand drawn.
Mr. F. L. Garrett.was. reinstated
and the following were initiated
into the society: Miss Nunn, Mr.
A. D. McLendon and1 Mr. Smith.
On Friday afternoon, February
6, four members of the faculty and
five students motored to Atlanta
to witness and aid'in the installa­tion
of the Georgia Alpha Chapter
of Tau Reta Pi at Georgia Tech.
The ceremonies started at seven
o'clock that evening and were con­ducted
in the new Physics Build­ing
at Tech. Prof. R. C. Matthews,
secretary-treasurer of the Nation­al
Organization of Tau Reta Pi,
was in charge of the installation.
Several members of the Auburn
party were called upon to aid] i n
the ceremonies. Thirty-four stu­dents,
graduates and professors
were admitted to membership. The
local organization which presented
the petition was known as Beta
Tau, the requirements for mem­bership
being approximately the
same as those of Tau Beta Pi. Im­mediately
toiiowing the installa­tion
a banquet was given"-by the'
new chapter at the Georgian Ter­race
Hotel. After the feast,several
talks were made by some of those
present, among the speakers be­ing:
Dr. Britton, president Georgia
Tech, Dr. Chrenshaw, president of
Phi Kappa Phi at Tech, Prof. Mat­thews
and Prof. Baughman.
Tau Beta Pi is the foremost Na­tional
Engineering Fraternity, to
which all types of Engineers are
admitted, they meeting the re­quirements
of the organization. Au­burn's
chapter was installed in
1920 through the untiring efforts
of Profs. Baughman and Hanna and
some of the students. One of the
main requirements besides high
scholarship is character.
The Auburn Chapter welcomes
the new Chapter at Tech Into the
organization and hopes that this
will serve to strengthen the friend­ship
between the Engineers of
these two colleges. Through this
article those making the trip to
Atlanta wish to thank the New
chapter for the fine time had while
there.

BUSINESS MEN'S CUP
FOR BEST STUNT
Since last fall the Y. W. C. A.
has been working an vocational
programs. It's no easy matter to
present a program of this kind as
it is so hard to find a new way of
telling the same story, but last
Sunday afternoon's program prov­ed
conclusively that it can be done
One or more vocations are tak­en
up each Sunday and a prize will
be awarded the group which puts
on the best program of the year.
It's' going to be a good one, loo!
Last Sunday was Home Econom­ics
day. Grace Gardner was in
charge. Two senior girls in Home
Econoics spoke, Millicent Best on
Home Demonstration, and Mary
Todd, on Teaching Home Econom­ics.
Miss Harris, our most faithful
leader, spoke on the most impor­tant
of all phases of Home Econ­omics,
"Making a Hame."
Following these talks was a prac­tical
demonstration in the form of
a playlet written by Albei i,1 Proc-,
tor. She played the part of lead­ing
"lady, witfe Minnie Stone a»tbe

fun making a living for two. The
young wjife had much difficulty
with menus and housekeeping un­til
a new short course worker,
Beatrice Norris, enrolled her in a
practical Home Economics course.
Six week^s later domestic tran­quillity
reigned in the home. The
wife had learned to cook delight*
ful meals which did not give her
hubby indigestion.
Another charming feature of the
afternoon was tea served by Ana-merle
Arant.
Varied Program Presented
PHARMACEUTICAL
SOCIETY MEETS
The Pharmaceutical Society held
its regular weekly meeting at the
pharmacy building, on Tuesday
night.
After a short business meeting,
presided over by the President,
Mr. C. T. Burkehart, the society
was entertained by a talk by Miss
Harris, Dean of Women. She talk­ed
on "Why Women Should Be at
Auburn," which was followed by
a general discussion of the subject
in which every one took part.
The latter part of the hour was
given over to a talk by Professor
Marsh. Mr. Marsh in his talk en­couraged
the' present Senior Class
to try to make the Profession of
Pharmacy what it ought to be, a
Profession and not a business.
The meeting was concluded by
a-few remarks by Professor Gen­try.
Every one present enjoyed both
talks and left feeling that they bad
been benefitted by them.
WEBSTERIANS HAVE
GOOD PROGRAM
The Websterians met again on
Tuesday night for their regular
meeting in Webster HaU. Miss
Crawley opened the program with
a Bible reading, which was follow­ed
by a talk by Miss Kernodle on
various business matters. Some of
the minutes of the society in 1904-
The annual all-college stunt nite,
of last Friday night, was proclaim­ed
a big success by all present. Ap­proximately
fifteen organizations
staged stunts which varied in
length from two to ten minutes
each. The entire program, lasted
about two hours.
The silver loving cup given by
the business men of Auburn, was r
won by the Mandolin club, which
entertained the crowd with a num­ber
of very popular selections and
received encores for several times.
The organizations receiving hon­orable
mention were: Dramatic
Club, A. I. E. E., Wirt. Lit Society,
and "A" Club. All of the above
mentioned organizations put on
stunts which were highly enter­taining
to the audience.
The program was attended by
the largest audience in Langdon
Hall for ;»ome time. It is estimat­ed
that over one thousand students

Local Y. M. C. A. which is one- of
the most popular student organiza­tions
on the campus. .'
1905 were read. The interest
whiclf the members at that time
seemed to take and the difficult
programs which they ' selected
gave proof of a hard-working soc­iety
in "days gone by." Mr ''Bob­by"
Miles took the floor amid
great applause, and gave his "Ex­periences
With Hospitals," men­tioning
some of his experiences in
the Army Hospitals in France dur­ing
the World War.
An outline of the membership
contest and the points to be given
were discussed, and a committee
was appointed to work out a suit-,
able scoring system.
The program committee has
promised to keep up its good work
and furnish snappy programs r~-
the future. _

Auburn Players Stage Initiation
The Auburn Players held their
annual initiation in the Attic Thea­ter
on Monday night. Eighteen
new members were admitted to the
club. All day Monday they parad­ed
through the town and to their
classes, painted up as though ready
for a vaudeville act, bearing on
their backs the sign, "The Auburn
Players."
The climax was reached at seven
o'clock at night in the Attic Thea­ter,
however, when the initiation
ceremonies were administered by
the President of the club, Miss
Dorothy Duggar, assisted by the
Initiation Committee, George Ker­nodle
and Turner Ivey. The Di­rector
and the members of the
club were present and witnessed
the admittance of the new mem­bers.
After an exciting initiation of
each member' separately, tbe ,oath
of membership was given to all.
This was followed by a social hour
in which lemonade and candy
were served. Each initiate had
been instructed to bring two bars
of Hersheys and two lemons, so the
refreshments were immediately
forthcoming.
It is 'a signal honor to be ad­mitted
to the Auburn Players, now,

SOPHOMORE CLASS
Despite the fact that Sophomore means a wise fool, the Sopho­more
class has a record of which they are justly proud.
The class has as its leader J. E. "Abe" Robinson, a Georgia lad,
who has attracted no little attention on the gridiron. "Abe" hails from
the/ town of Carrollton where he played the stellar role on the team
of Carrollton High School. Since coming to Auburn, he has made a
fine record and gained many friends. As Vice-President," i h e ' w e ll
"LnuTiTirJohn Ai EoglhtrrTrrrf Emlrr, iVn, .-*"nd° ceady to back
where necessary. The position of secretary is held by S. H. Lynne,
of Decatur. Ala. A Hurtsboro lad, E. A. Pruitt, is .making investi-
~ \ gations into the history of the class.
Among the outstanding things done by members of the Sopho-ore
class we find that Morrow is the only man that has ever made
a letter, in Cross Country at Auburn. As we perhaps all remember
Belcher was the winner of the annual declamation contest held last
s fall. Another outstanding accomplishment was the winning of a tug-o'-
war from the Freshmen at the All-college hike.
The Sophomore class can boast of five wearers of the coveted
"A." Long, Haygood, Turner and Salter obtained the numeral for
their ability on the gridiron while, as has already been mentioned,
Morrow won his on the cross-country team.
The class is fortunate in having J. A. English and A. £.. Carter
represent them on the student council. Moreland G. Smith repre­sents
them well on the Honor Committee.
Sophomores constitute a good part of the glee club in that Woo-ten,
Sparks, New, Smith, YarbroUgh, Strong, Long, and Zigler pos­sess
such musical talent as to warrant their membership.
We find, the second year men well j i p along athletic lines. On
the roll of the spring trainers ap-pears: Lovelace, Pruitt, English,
Carter, Salters, Robinson, Long, Turner, Moulton, Hoffman, Haygood
and Baskin. Among the candidates for baseball we find: Pitchers,
Grant, Hughs, Austin, and Bradley. Infield, Hamilton, Wallace, Walsh,
Price, McDonald, Smith, and Ruff. Outfield, Moulton, Booth, Steen,
and Collier. Among the candidates for the basketball quintet may
be found: Kaley, Long, Hall and Cummins.
The Auburn Band, which has attracted much attention during
the past few years, claims about six Sophs, among which is Mr.
Brown, the only Bassoon player in; Auburn.
Another distinction held by the class of '27 is that they have
""as a member of their class the well known assistant cheer leader,
"Red" Roberts, who hails from Whatley, Ala.
Other good points in their favor show that they have many
members of such worthy organizations as Dramatic Club, Friend­ship
Council, Literary Societies and etc. It might also be mentioned
that John Thomas, the cross-word expert of the twentieth century,
proudly calls himself a Sophomore. Not to be forgotten is LeMay, a
member of the Mandolin Club.
O'Brien and Mason, former members of the class of '27, are now
taking advantage of appointments to the United States Military Acad­emy
at West Point, N. Y.
Despite the fact that the positions on the staffs of the college
publications are held, as a general rule, by Juniors and Seniors, we
find several Sophomores, holding positions.
The enrollment of the class at present is three hundred ninety-three.
They are expecting to give a great deal of trouble in the
coming class football contest. They have OHinger and Williams as
coaches.
As a summary we find the Sophomore class a good all-round
class which has an abundant supply of the Auburn Spirit. They
are already planning a big banquet ai which they will elect officers
and make plans for even a more successful year as Juniors.
An Auburn man in every sense
of the word is Prof. Charles R.
Hixon, Professor of Mechanical
Engineering. He was born in Pe-rote,
Ala., in the year of 1884. The
early part of the twentieth cen­tury
found him filled with the old
Auburn spirit as a student. The
twentieth century is now ending
its first quarter and Prof. Hixon is
still doing his part for Auburn.
After finishing with the class of
'07 with the degree of B. S. in
M. EL, he came back to Au-burn
as a Post Graduate and
instructor in shops. '•• In 1908, he
received the degree of M. E. Con­tinuing
as instructor in Mechanic
Arts for five years, he was then
made Professor of Mechanical En­gineering.
He has held this posi­tion
since this time with the ex­ception
of the World War period
when/ he was put in charge of Mo­tor
Transport, Oxy-acetylene Weld­ing,
Motor Cycle Riding and Re­pairing.
The position held was a
most important and trying one as
he was in charge of an entire unit
of over one hundred men.
The name of Prof. Hixon may be
found among the rolls of Phi Kap­pa
Phi honor Society, Tau Beta Pi,
Engineering Honor society, Ameri­can
Society of Mechanical Engi­neers,
Society of American. Magi­cians,
Society for the Promotion
of Engineering Education, and, the
National Geographic Society.
His life has been one of deep
study with a delightful mixture of
pleasing entertainment. He is well
known throughout the student
body for his ability as a magician.
He is the possessor of rare talent
for such entertainment. Besides
being a Professor, Magician, and
Machinist, he is also an inventor.
Among his inventions may be
found a very useful attachment for
cameras and a decarbonizer for
automobiles.
"Fessor" Hixon is one of the
most popular Professors in the En­gineering
Department. He has the
rare faculty of being able to re­member
names and faces well
which is a great asset to him in
his work. During his career in
Auburn he has taught many hun­dreds
of pupils and made as many
friendiS.

WORDS OF LINCOLN
No man is good enough to gov­ern
another man, without the oth­er's
consent.
My early life is perfectly char­acterized
by a single line from
Gray's Elegy: "The short and sim­ple
annals of the poor."
The Lord must love th'e-common
people—that's why he made so
many of them.
I am not ashamed to confess that
twenty-five years ago I was a
hired laborer, mauling rails, at
work on a fljat boat—just what
might happen to any poor man's
son.
Die when I may, I want it said
of me by those who know me best,
that I always plucked a thistle and
planted a flower when I thought
a flower would grow.
When you have an elephant on
hand and he wants to run away,
better let him run..
I don't know anything about
money. I never had enough of my
own to fret me.
You«an't put a long sword in
a short scabbard.
When you can't remove an ob­stacle
plow around it. v
In law it is a good policy to
never plead what you need not,
lest you oblige yourself to prove
what you cannot.
You will never get me to support
a measure which I believe to be
wrong, although by doing so I
may accomplish that which I be­lieve
to be right.
ARE YOU DISCOURAGED?
Under the heading, "Why Dis­couraged?"
the bulletin of the
American Institute of Banking re­cently
printed this clarion blast:
When Abraham Lincoln was a
young man he ran for the Legis­lature
of Illinois, and was badly
defeated.
He next entered business, failed,
and spent seventeen years of his
life paying up the debts of a worth­less
partner.
He was in love with a beautiful
young woman to whom he became
engaged—then she died.
Entering politics again, he ran
for Congress and was defeated.
He then tried to get an appoint­ment
in the United States Land
Office, but failed.
He became %a canidate for
the United States Senate and was
again defeated.
In 1856 he became a candidate
for the Vice-Presidency and was
again defeated.
In 1858 he was defeated by
Douglas.
One failure after another—bad
failures—great setbacks. In the
face of all this, he eventually be­came
one of the country's great
men, if not the greatest.
When you think of a series of
setbacks like this, dosen't it make
you feel kind of small to become
discouraged just because you think
you are having a hard, time putting
over what you set out to accom­plish?

Grandma has taken her grand­daughters'
beaux away. Oh. What's
to become of Grandma? "A song
and a dance", girls, 'neverything.
Bingville's merchant and his
family are suddenly rejuvenated
by Grandma's change of fortune
when the Tea Pot Oil Dome boils
over. Her decision to become a
flapper results in a trip to Europe,
a "skinned face and, a farcial pre­dicament.
But "all's well that ends
well" and "The Flapper Grand­mother"
concludes as all romances
should.
Thd "Flapper Grandmother" is a
dashing, peppy musical comedy
which will be given in Langdon
Hall on Tuesday night, February
17, and presented under the aus­pices
of the Kappa Deltas. Plenty
of pep, singing, dancing, etc., "hot
lines" and all will thrill your soul.

ALUMNUS APPOINTED
FARM BODY AGENT
Earnest Kilgore says that he is
going to Florida and enter the reaj
estate game after his graduation
here. We wonder if he knows
that the real estate men there now
E. A. Miller, an Alabamian, and
alumnus of Auburn, has been ap­pointed
Southern field represen­tative
of the American Farm Bu­reau,
according to Edward A.
O'Neal, president of the Alabama
organization, and vice-president of
the American Farm Bureau Federa-i
tion. The appointment was made
at the meeting of the executive
committee of the Farm Bureau
Federation in Chicago recently.
Mr. Miller will take up his work
immediately. He will go from state
to state in the South. Through
the leaders and officials of the ag­ricultural
colleges, he will assist in
correlating forces and in spreading
the Farm Bureau movement. His
first work will be in North Caro­lina,
South Carolina, Virginia, and
Georgia.
Mr. Miller was born and raised
on a Sand Mountain farm near Al-bertville.
After completing a course
in the Secondary Agricultural
School at Albertville, he entered
Auburn, in the agricultural course.
In 1900 heHgraduated in this course
with Prof. L. N. Duncan now di­rector
of Jhe extension service. He
received his,.M. S. degree in 1901.
AJJer graduation, Mr. Miller was
assistant principal of the Albert­ville
Agricultural School, and later
became president of the Ninth
District School at Blountsville. Af­ter
a few years there he was made
president of the Albertville school.
He resigned from this position to
become Southern field agent in
Agricultural Extension work, with
headquarters at Washington. He
held this position until about three
years ago, when he went to the
Oklahoma A. and M. College to be­come
professor of rural economics.
Soon after going there he was made
director, a position he resigned a
few months ago. He is expected
to visit/ Alabama from time to time
in his new work.

Bulldogs Go Wild
in Second Period;
Beat Tigers 40-17
Richardson and Wiehrs Are Out­standing
Performers
:
» •
»
•
Georgia and Auburn staged one
of their historic meetings Tuesday
night, and the Bulldog badly bit
the Tiger. In fact the Bulldog al­most
masticated the Tiger, and
""would have done the same to any
other team on the floor, for the
said Bulldog was seized with a se­rious
case of hydrophobia and just
wouldn't be stopped.
The first half started off pleas­ingly
enough. Twelve minutes
elapsed before Georgia scored their
first field goal, the Tigers leading
up to that time, 4 to 2. After the
Georgians found the range the
score seesawed back and forth,
. with Georgia being on the heavy
end, of the seesaw. The half end­ed
with the score 13 to 10 in the
Bulldog's favor.
Then came the deluge. The Geor­gia
steam roller got in motion and
despite the frantic efforts of the
Tigers, proceeded to roll up twen­ty-
seven points, while the Plains­men
were rolling up seven. In this
semester, Bichardson, scored three
goals, Kilpatrick, Forbes, and Hu-guley
a pair each, and, Charlie
Wiehrs and Harris one apiece. Add­ed
to this total were ""three foul
shots by Wiehrs, and one each by
Harris and Bichardson.
In the first half the main feature
was the good defense displayed by
both sides. In-the second period
the biggest feature was the lack
of d,efense. Af that the work of
the Tigers in the second half was
better than the score would indi­cate,
but the Bulldog seemed to
have come equipped with horse­shoes,
and no matter from what
angle or position they would make
a shot, the ball would always find
the basket.
To Charlie Wiehrs must go the
crown of the evening. The head-geared
youth did some mighty
flashy guarding and found time to
score ten points for his side. Bich­ardson
was the highpoint man
with a dozen counters. The en­tire
Bulldog combination showed
some great teamwork, and it is
hard to decide exactly to whom
most credit should go.
For the Auburnites the two Mc-
Kinneys and Gray did about the
best work. The whole team fought
desperately, but were helpless
against the smooth working Bull­dog
combination.

CO-EDS BOW TO
PIEDMONT, 15-13
Bessie Drake Shines as Visitors
Grab Overtime Tilt
Forth from the hills of Georgia,
where the moon shines on the
moonshine with dazzling bright­ness,
came the Co-Eds of Pied­mont
College, and back to the
same hills went the young ladies,
bearing with them the bobbed ~scalp
of the Auburn Tigress. Albeit and
notwithstanding the fact that the
dashing Piedmont Captain rested
on the sidelines for the entire
game, the Georgians played top-notch
ball all the way, and only the
great work of Bessie Drake kept
the Auburn Co-Eds in the running.
The first quarter was about as
thrilling as a chess tournament in
the Home for the Aged, both teams
seeming resolved not to attempt a
shot unless right under the basket.
After eight minutes of maneuver­ing
Mary Tamplyn finally caged
one, and the Auburnites enjoyed a
brief but refreshing lead.
In the second quarter, Miss
Fricks (the other one) broke loose
and caged a trio of shots in spite
of the heroic efforts of Big Six
Price, who once moved as far as
six inches from her standing-guard
position in order to avert a
possible score. These three goals,
coupled with a foul shot, gave the
fair visitors a seven to four lead
for the first semester.
A bit more pep was injected in­to
the game during the second
half, the excitement almost assum­ing
the proportions of that attend­ing
a horseshoe pitching tourna­ment.
Miss Drake and Miss Fricks
(the one that played forward)
staged a sort of duel in this half,
the former, however, being a little
more effective in her work. The
little Auburn forward scored every
point in the second half, and it
was due to her efforts that the
count ^vas knotted, at ten-all.
Beferee Bunker allowed thft girls
five more minutes to fight it out.
This proved to be an unwise move,
since the visitors caged two field
goals, as well as one free try. For
Auburn, Mary Tamplyn tossed a
pretty one for a pair of points,
while Drake caged one foul shot.
And thus ended, the game, with the
Tigresses two points behind. This
was the first time that such a ca­tastrophe
has occurred on the local
floor since the early Paleozic era.

TIGERS TRIM TECH BY
NARROW MARGIN, 15-14
Wallace McKinney's Foul Shot
Decides Close Contest
Benny Leonard is retiring from
the ring. Strangler Lewis is retir­ing,
too, as fast as the other wrest­lers
can throw him out.
Betiring by the aerial route as
were.
While the big team was overj;in
Atlanta splashing the yellow jack­ets
of the Tech Tornado with or­ange
and blue, the Tiger kittens
were taking the short end of a 20
to 17 count. The score by no
mean tells the story of the trag­edy
enacted down in the gymna­sium
'last Saturday night. This
was by far the best game in point
of sustained interest seen on the
local floor this season. The team
work %as just about)as smooth as
it gets anywhere with the James
Twins leading the attack for the
Auburn combination.
The offensive strength of the
Tech quintette resolved itself about
the flashy Wright, who was right
all right. "Tiny" Hearn, the elong­ated
center of the Tech Frosh, was
the mainstay of the defense. Time
after time he would recover a shot
gone widd of the basket and, hold­ing
it high above.the heads of the
rabble, pass it out of the danger
region.
The Tiger Bats drew first blood
when Ebb James, the "mile-a-min-
11 iite" captain, wriggled his way
through the Tech defense for a
shot at the coveted basket. Dick
Wright evened up the count when
he slipped past the redoubtable
"Pop" Patterson to ring up a
countter: From that time on the
game was a nip and tuck affair
with the Tech Bats getting all the
nip and more than their share of
the tuck. After the Baby Tornado
had garnered in' a six point lead,
the shock troops of the Green step­ped
for to stem the tide. Ellis re­lieved
Ebb James, Fob James was
replaced by Akin and, Burns went
in for Patterson, who in turn was
sent in for Snyder at center. This
new combination dealt 'em misery
with Buck Ellis the shining light.
The former Simpson star scored
two long ones before the referee's
whistle ended the;1 period with the
score 12-7 in favor of the Tech
Freshmen.
During the second- half the Au­burn
lads showed a superiority in
floor work with Ebb James having
a slight margin over his running
mate, Buck Ellis, the former scor­ing
one field goal and, one foul
shot while the latter was securing
but one field goal. The playing of
Burns at guard was another fea­ture
of this period. Considering
that the Tech Breeze has played
and ,won four games, including
one with the Mercer Bats, and that
our Rats have only entered one
contest, we are inclined to be
more than_proud, of our Freshmen
for their splendid showing. The
one outstanding fault of the Junior
Five was ^their failure ta take the
offensive before the Tech defense
was organized.
The line-up:
Auburn Rat* (17) Tech Rats (20)
James, E. (5) -F. Morton (4)
James <F.) F...Wright (5)
Leave it to the Tigers to do sur­prising
things. After dropping a
tilt to the Birmingham Athletic
Club by a fairly* substantial mar­gin,
the Auburnites were expected
to be easy meat for the Jackets,
especially when the game was
played on Tech's own court. How­ever,
the Plainsmen were not as
"docile as they were expected to be,
and turned on the Jackets and bit
off a 15 to 14 victory.
The game set a low-score record
for the- Tech gym, the defense of
both teams discouraging any con­sistent
attempts at scoring. In
fact, the only scores made during
the first nine minutes of play were
two foul goals, both in favor of
Tech. -When the half ended, the
Tigers were leading 6 to 4.
In the second period the baskets
remained unsullied for a while,
and when the scoring did come it
arrived in very small packages.
However, both teams put on a
spurt toward the end, Auburn be­ing
the spurtier of the two. Strange
to say, the only foul shot out of
nine chances for the Tigers was
the one registered, by McKinney in
the closing moments of play. Tech
was but little better in taking ad­vantage
of the donations, two of
their nine free trials being caged.
As per usual Bill McKinney was
the luminary of the game, with
"Skinny" Denicke sharing the
limelight. Wycoff and Captain
Wallace did the bulk of the defen­sive
work for their respective ag­gregations.
The defense of both
teams was so good that the offense
was sadly lacking.

RATS TO VISIT
ATLANTA FRIDAY
James and Co. Expect Revenge
For Last Week's Beating
The Plainsboys will board the
train for Atlanta Friday morning
with a grim determination to down
the Junior Jackets of Tech, their
conquerors of last Saturday. It
would seem from the score in that
game that the Tech Frosh will en­ter
the fracas slight favorites over
their smaller opponents, but at
present the indications point "to­ward
an eveq) break. As had been
pointed out before the,Tech squad
had met and conquered four foes
before they reached the Village
while the Tiger Rats had only play­ed
one game. However it will be
a far wiser and more cunning Kit;,
ten that- attempts to ward off the
sting of the newly hatched Yel­low
Jacket on the latter's court
Friday night.
In the forward department the
Bengal Babes will have a very
slight edge with Ebb James prob­ably
two goals- better than Mor­ton.
At the other forward the
flashy Dick Wright will be evenly
balanced by Fobb James or Buck
Ellis. The former will probably
start and then give way to the lat­ter
who wrecked such havoc on
the Breeze last Saturday. By vir-ture
of the mountainous propor­tions
of 'Tiny" Hearn the unde­veloped
Insects will have a decid­ed
advantage although Snyder can
be depended upon to give a glow­ing
account of Jiimself. Pop Patter­son
is a slight favorite over George
at guard with the dependable
Burns a ready substitute. For the
other guard position .the honors
are about evenly divided between
Swan of Auburn and Brant of
Tech.
Those who are making the trip
to Atlanta are: Forwards, Ebb
James, Fobb James, Buck Ellis and
Cliff Akin; Guards, Patterson,
Burns and Swan. Snyder at cen­ter
completes the squad. -

Last Home Game
of Cage Season
Saturday Night
B. A. C. Basketeers to Be Guests
As Tigers Close Season
The last opportunity for Au­burn
students to gaze on their cage
team in action on the home court
will come Saturday night when the
Birmingham Athletic Club ' team
comes to the Plains. These two
teams have met before this season,
with the Magic City men holding
the decision.
"With the steady improvement
of the Tigers during the past week
or so, there have risen hopes that
there could be an intercollegiate
victory scored on the campus.
However these hopes have proved
to be vain ones, and the best one
can look - forward to is a victory
over the Birmingham Clubmen,
who, by the way will be far from
unworthy opponents.
Two members of last year's
team will be seen in action, oppos­ing
the . Plains school this time.
Captain Fred, Hahn and Jessie
Duke will be on hand, doing their
best to beat the school that they
once represented so valiantly.
The Tigers ""will probably lead
off with Bill McKinrey and Evans
at forward, Long at Center, and
W. McKinney and Gray at guard.
While this combination lacks a
great deal of being a champion­ship
team, it possesses plenty of
pep and fight and can be looked
for t give all kinds of trouble.
Their season has not| been a" howl­ing
success, but they have done
about as well as could be expected
against the opposition they have
faced. j-
At least three Plainsmen, could
be classed as really good players,
and there are several others who
wilL.be in this class with a little
more, development. Bill McKin­ney,
his brother Wallace, and Bill
Gray, have put up a good article
of ball .all season, and have been
a real credit to their team.
Following the "game Saturday
will be an "A" Club dance. All
those who fail to see enough of
athletics during the game are urg­ed
to stick aroung for the struggle,
NEW CAGE TEAM
TAKES THE FLOOR
Junior "A" Men Form Basketball
Team
Just to show that there are some
versatile men on the gridiron team,
the Junior football men have or­ganized
a basketball team, and are
awaiting any and all comers. While
the basketball season is on the
wane, it is believed that the em­battled
Juniors will find plenty to
do, since the other "A" Club men
usually form teams to represent
the various classes.
Some very promising material is
out for the team, most of the men
having dabbled in the cage game
while attending high school. They
are putting in some good practice
and, with the conditioning they are
receiving in spring training, should
be in good shape for the first game.
Their initial victim has not yet
been announced, but it is'expect­ed
that the slaughter will take
place within the next week or so.
The aspirants for the Junior
cage team are as follows: "Jelly"
Self, Joe Market, Buck Spinks,
"Pea" Green, "Buckshot" Williams,
and others. It is not hard to see
that this combination possesses
class, and should make trouble for
all opponents.

CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR
VALENTINE PARTY TONIGHT
A Christian Endeavor Valentine
Party will be held in the parlor
of the Presbyterian Church tonight
at 8:30. Everyone that is a mem­ber
of C. E., everyone that has ever
, visited C. E., and everyone)'that is
interested in C. E. is invited to
come.
Last Sunday night marked a new
forward step in Christian Endea­vor
work. The new officers, who
- "had been elected, the. Sunday be­fore,
assumed their duties enthus­iastically.
C. E. is full of pep and
imbued witbj a strong desire to be­come
a well known and moving
factor among the young people of
Auburn. -
Title membership is not so large
at present but enthusiasm balances
the lack in numbers. All young
people who are not members of
other societies are asked tp attend
C. E. and enjoy the gqod times.
A good, example of the programs is
the one given last Sunday. After
business, the question of the eve­ning,
selfishness, was discussed un­der
several different heads. Miss
Emily Hare asked the question,
"Who put the fish in Selfishness?"
and proceeded to point out why a
selfish person is a "poor fish."
Special music was rendered by
Misses Daphne and Catherine Hare.
Next Sunday night the subject
will be Striking Instances of
Friendship. Everyone is invited
to enjoy the meeting.

WHO'S THIS ON?
The engineer had requisitioned
one 200 pound steam pressure
gauge, and the stenographer order­ed
same. It happened that when
the gauge came, it came to the
same office from which it had
been ordered. Upon opening the
package containing the; gauge the
stenographer was very much sur­prised,
and she immediately, with­out
advice, shipped the gauge back
to the manufacturer with this ex­planation:
"We order one 200
pound gauge, and the one you sent
weighs only about 5 pounds."
A HARD BATTLE
"I saw a man hanging on to a
[half empty keg a while ago about
twelve teams eliminated from the
opening games. This team will
play the Auburn Rats, in what
should prove; to be a mighty inter­esting
combat. As most of the
Rats are old Tournament perform*
ers the Cotton States will be an old
story to them.
The team winning the final game
will receive the President's Cup,
while the Runner-up will be pres­ented,
with a cup by the "A" Club.
As a sort of a consolation prize the
two teams losing out in the semi­finals
will receive special silver
trophies.
Individual awards of gold med­als
—will be made to all members
and the coach of the winning team.
The players on the second team
will receive silver medals, while
the two semi-final teams will re­ceive
bronze medals for their work.
The teams to participate have
not yet been selected but it can
be. assured that they will repres­ent
the cream of Southern prep-school
basketball, and that the win­ning
team will'very nearly be en­titled
to be called "Dixie Cham­pions."

The apple that
rocked the earth
"I wonder why?"
In Isaac Newton's mind that question clam­ored
for an answer. Many men had seen apples
fall, but Jhis man with the question mark mirtd
found out why they fall—and his answer has
helped us to understand the workings of a
universe.
Would that we all could get a bite of that
apple if it would inspire us too with the "I
wonder why" attitude!
Intellectual curiosity is a great and moving
force. It mobilizes reluctant facts. It is the
stern drill-master which whips into shape that
most invincible of armies—sure knowledge.
Curiosity, with the will to sweat out the
answer, is the greatest asset you can acquire in
your college course. This attribute is needed
by industry today more than ever before.
