* Vol. XXVIII AUBURN, ALABAMA, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1925 No. 22 SUPERVISOR AGRICULTURAL ED. CONVO. SPEAKER Interested in Development of Resources Mr. Robert D. Maltby, supervisor of Agricultural Education in twelve southern states and connected with the State office at Montgomery, was the speaker at Convocation on February 19. ' Preceding his talk Scripture Reading was conducted by Rev. Holmes. After this a few moments were devoted to the observation of the eightieth birthday of Dr. J. H. Drake as mentioned elsewhere in this,issue. The speaker was introduced by Mr. Dimmit. Mr. Maltby is very S much interested in the develop-i ment of resources in the South stating that the greatest resources - of the country lie in Dixie. Vocational Education is a great benefit -- to the south and Auburn is playing a large part in this undertaking. He also stated that he believed that with regard to relative numbers, the largest percent are now attending college and the percentage will decrease in the future years, since the* High Schools' are more and more fitting their graduates for life work. It seems that the college will not always j ^K the support of the states, h a ^ i l l be for only the most select class. The college men will be the leaders and will not be placed on the firing line. The idea of the selection of life work as' early as possible was emphasized. Mr. Maltby entered Vocational Education work in 1906 as a teacher in one of the schools and has succeeded to the point where he has been placed as supervisor of several states. GUEST OF HONOR Phi Kappa Phi Initiates Beginning at 6:30 on the evening of February 19, twenty-three students were initiated into 'the, local chapter of Phi Kappa Phi National Honor Fraternity. The initiates were elected at a recent meeting of the chapter, composed of about forty faculty members and a few resident members. This fraternity is a national organiza-for the purpose of encouraging scholarship and original study among students. Members from the upper fourth of the senior class who have attained an average of eighty-five or more are eligible. Immediately following the ceremonies which were very impressive, a banquet was given at the Auburn Tea Room. Professor Baughman acted as toast-master for the evening, explaining certain points about the fraternity to new members and introducing speakers. Mrs. Hicks, Ikerman, Young were called upon to peak as representatives of the various courses represented by the initiates; -Among the other speakers were Mrr. Hixon, Prof. Fullan and Dean J^id. The following members of the Senior Class were initiated: L. T. Agee, Lysbeth Fullan, Mrs. H. B. Hicks, Mrs. McDonald, J. M. Dean, Emily Hare, E. E. Hale, W. L. Randolph, C. C. Smith, A. S. Hodges, W. A. Young, R. L. Reeder, J. W. Fant, E. F. .Williams, J. G. Hieber, GENERAL BULLARD DELIVERS ADDRESS Lieut. Gov. JVC cDowell and Board of Trustees . Preienir ~ -, Gen. Robert Lee Bullard Purnell BUI To Benefit Auburn Insures Funds for Experiment Station. The passing of the Purnell bill by congress last week will prove to be one of the best assets Auburn has or will have for some time to come. The bill provides for each Agricultural Experimental college in the U. S. to receive next year $20,000 to be used in research work. This amount will be increased by ten thousand dollars each year until the sum received by each institution will reach the $60,000 mark. According to these figures in 1929 Auburn's allotment from Federal sources will about equal the amount that is now being received from both Federal and State sources. This will certainly be a^ boost to the experimental station and provide for a greater expansion into the unknown realms of science and securing a better knowledge of thei little that is now •known about some of our everyday problems. Through the backing obtained from this much needed financial support the experiments carried on here should be of much help to the farmer and others concerned. WHERE HE "ACTS UP SOME." I am twenty-five cents. I am not on speaking terms with the butcher. I am too! small to buy a quart of ice-cream. I am not large enough to purchase a box of candy. I am too small to buy a ticket to a movie. I am hardly fit for a tip, but— believe me, when I go to church on Sunday I am considered some money.—The Christian Evangelist (St. Louis). J. A. Ikerman, R. A. Betts, H. F. Schwekendiek, Max Ford, W. B. Wood, R. J. Barefield, A. L. Scott, A. E. Duran, A. Yt McConnell. Dr. Fred Allison was initiated as faculty member: , Stating that there are bolshevistic elements which tend to undermine the very foundation of our government, (Jen. Robert Lee Bullard, of world war fame and president of the National Security! League, urged his audience to watch for and support an adequate program of preparedness. He stated, that thel best way to meet these attacks was through American Patriotic Societies. Gen. Bullard also added that at the early age of nine he selected for himself the name of Robert Lee, which he said was .sufficient refutation of the stories in the Brooklyn Eagle and Literary Digest which quoted him as saving that he was a follower of Sherman rather than Lee. Lieut. Gov. McDowell paid tribute to "Alabama's most distinguished son, Gen. Bullard." Mr. McDowell spoke in the absence of Gov. Brandon. Preceding the addresses by Gen. Bullard and Lieut. Gov. McDowell, invocation was conducted by Rev. N. B. McLeod. My Country 'Tis of Thee and the Alma Mater song were sung by the »!idienc<\ The benediction was rendered by Chaplain E. P. Smith. Auburn was indeed lucky to have such a distinguished son as her guest of honor for these annual exercises. She is proud to claim Gen. Bullard as her own. PRESENTATION OF COLORS Christian Endeavor Last Sunday night we decided to take steps next month toward establishing a Christian Endeavor Society in Opelika. It was not stated what the first move should be, but this will be given out at a later date. This week is the week of prayer for Colleges and Thursday morning, the 26th, at 6:45 A. M., a short prayer service will be held in the Sunday School room of the Presbyterian Church, to pray for the cause of education. Next Sunday night, March 1st, our subject will be "The Cost of Friendliness." NEW YORK CHAPTER DAUGHTERS OF ALA. PRESENT COLORS T. D. Samford Accepts Colors for Institution In Honor Gen.

Following the exercises in Langdon and Smith Halls on February 23, the members of the Auburn Board of Trustees convened for their semi-annual meeting. Lieut. Gov. Cbas. McDowell presided in the absence of Gov. Brandon. Dr. Dowell said in his report: "In spite of an unsuccessful football season, on the basis of winning games and other unexpected developments, the work of the present season has been highly gratifying." He also called the attention of the board to the serious limitations under which the college operates. By a comparison with other colleges of practically the same enrollment} Dr. Dowell showed that the annual appropriation was far below standard and that required for the proper upkeep of the buildings and equipment, and other expenses. The following is quoted as a close to his report: "I cannot close this report without expressing to you) my profound appreciation of the confidence and support you have given me consistently since you named me president. No experience of my life has been more gratifying than the dignified and discriminating way in which you have handled the acute situation that has arisen in recent months. Your unified and voluntary action has inspired me with new zeal and devotion for the work at Auburn."

THE HONOR SYSTEM vt's abolish the Honor System? lr opinion it is. We give as the reason that at present the Au-iHonor System is practically a farce. No one seems to con-p a t they are a part of it and consequently are "hands off" the [affair. According to reports the constitution is being violated "ter time and the offenders are none the worse off. Practically cases turned into the honor committee are by faculty men who i as evidence papers that are similar enough to convict (faculty ^ers do not turn in cases that come to their observation, as this students' place according to the const tution.) Students have Ceard to boast of how they CHEATED on examinations. If this enough to warrant its abolishment it is surely indestructible. In our opinion this is the greatest# problem that has faced the [institution in many years. It is u p ' t o us as students to save the [reputation of Auburn by changing these conditions. They cannot be anged by one person or one small group of persons; there must be cooperation of the entire student body. If Auburn students are lanly-enough to put an honor system across, if they have not enough sense of honor to support it, it is our opinion that it should be abolished. This is in no way discounting the work that is being done by the Honor Committee. They are men who have the Honor , System at heart and are trying to make it work. The fact that six students have been sent from the institution for dishonesty during the past examinations is evidence that they are at work. They lack greatest thing of all—THE COOPERATION OF THE STUDENT IBODY: '• What is going to be done? Something MUST be done and done liuick. Are we going to be men of honor? Keenon, Crump, Freret, Jones, T. W., Naftel and Beavers. A number of members of the class also display their musical talents in the Glee Club. They are: Johnson, Wise, Boyd, Crow, Crump, vBlake Parker and Bankson. In the Mandolin Club we find: Russey, Fon-tille, Moulton, Foy and Jones. We find the best drilled soldier of last term to be "Capt." Staton, a member of the Junior Class. ."" Among the journalists of the Junior class we find E. D. Ball, managing editor of The Plainsman, W. D. Horton, sports editor, Grace Gardner and Dryden Baughman. Messrs. Burgoyne and Thompson are members of the business staff. Third year men also have a good part in the work on the Glomerata and the Alabama Farmer. Juniors are well represented in all branches of college activities such as literary societies, Dramatic Club, etc. They are a very active part of the college. The enrollment at present is two hundred and eighty-five which includes about twenty women students. The spirit of the entire class is fine. They have a big part to play and are playing it well. College students like things "short and snappy." Perhaps it was a realization of this fact that prompted the writing of "Plane Trigonometry" by Prof. Crenshaw of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute and Prof. Derr of Southern Presbyterian University. This book, which was published and came into practical use about a year ago, has been of material aid to the student wandering through the mazes of that mathematical wilderness. Professor Crenshaw, who was one of the foremost factors in the writing, editing, and publishing of this small volume, is a member of the faculty at A. P. I., and an alumnus of the institution. Hey was born at Greenville, Alabama, and received his early education in that town. Birmingham and, Montgomery. Fol lowing up this secondary education he came to A. P. I. and, graduated Is such a request justifiable JK 1889 w i t h a B s d e g r e e a nd "with tiighesf honors," a disfihe^ ti'on few attain. In the next year the degree of Mechanical Engineer was awarded him. His profession is teaching and from 1891 to date he has been connected with the Mathematics Department of this institution, climbing from step to step until at present he is head of the department. This gentleman has that quality found in few teachers, that is, the ability to teach the most of his particular subject with seemingly, the least effort for all parties concerned. A visualization of the problem before the student and the best way to meet it with the elimination of all unnecessary detail seems to be ever in the foreground with him. Courses under him and contact with him are a pleasure *and a delight to all who have the good fortune to be placed in such a situation. Y. W. C. A. Anyone wishing to express their opinion on the subject of The jpor System may do so by mailing to The Plainsman by Tuesday. 5 must be signed and of course of a publishable nature. THE JUNIOR CLASS The Junior Class has recently become an important figure on the campus in that they came out victors in the recent class football games. They will have the distinction of placing the '26 on both tanks next year. C. B. Burgoyne, president of the class, is from the Gulf City. "Buck" has discharged his duties of office nobly since his election and is always ready to do anything for the good of the institution. .-He may also be credited with being quite a,luminary on the gridiron since the class games. "Buck" No. 2 is in the form of "Buck" Spinks, Vice-Presilent of the class, whoJ hails from Thomas ville, Alabama. He holds the end position on the Tiger Squad nobly. The position of Secretary is held, as it should be, by the Wise man of the class. Wise has shown wonderful ability in the art of making friends. Frank Russey holds the position of Treasurer while the Historian is the w U known Mr. James Jenkins who is majoring in history. The Junior Class is justly proud of the fact that eleven of their members are wearing the orange "A". These men are: McFadden, Self, Spinks. Williams, Green, and Market in football, Stewart, Maury and Self in baseball, McKinney and Gray in basketball, while Nelson earned his! on the cinder path. Other Junior football luminaries are: McEldery, McCulley, John- Honeycutt, McNeill, Mims. As candidates for baseball other than men- we find Johnson, Williams and Cochran. On the path j[elson we find Joe Young, Belcher, and Staton. Along with and Gray, Evans made a fine showing on the Tiger quin-fcid the Junior Class well represented on the band roster. es Juniors may feel proud, of the fact that the well known lor, Frank Russey, is one of their fellow classmates. Other (of the band are: Jones, Bilbo, Brown, Fontille, McConhell, Three student representatives leave Auburn on Friday to attend the important State Executive Meeting of the Y. W. C. A. which is being held at the University of Alabama, this week-end. The State Chairman^ of college Y. W. C. A. is an Auburn student, Emily Hare, and she will preside at the Executive meeting. Representatives from nine colleges in the state will be present at the meeting. Plans and policies for the yeai of 1925-26 will be formulated. A national Y. W. C. A. Secretary, Miss Katherine D. Lumpkin, whose present headquarters are in Atlanta, will attend and will report the meeting to the National Y. W. C. A. Alabama has taken a great step forward in Y. W. C. ., it is thought, in its organization as a state, which toolj place at the State Conference held in Auburn in October, 1924. Since that time material progress has been made in Y. W. C. A. work in the various colleges. With a unified program of action it is posible for Y. W. C. A. to become a real force in the colleges of the state and plans for High School extension work may be formulated at the coming executive meeting. Each college is allowed only two representatives to attend this executive meeting. The two students who will represent Auburn are Alberta Proctor, of Scotsboro, and Dorothy Duggar, of* Auburn. Emily Hare of Auburn will attend, representing the State as State Chairman. i-ri&a of Home Economics Instruction at Auburn. , The large dining room of the hall was elaborately decorated in the patriotic colors. 'Great baskets of red and white carnations, tied with blue tulle, adorned the tables. Above, the door in the background floated the flag of our country, waving pro tectlngly above the head of one of its greatest war heroes. Tables were shaped in an open rectangle, in the center of which at four tables forming a cross, sat the guest of honor and other distinguished visitors. The Hon. T. D. Samford, DR. J. H. DRAKE REACHES HIS EIGHTIETH BIRTHDAY Preceding the regular Convocation day program, February 19, a few minutes were devoted to the honor of Dr. J. H. Drake, who on that day reached the eightieth year of his life. Dean Petrie explained the occasion, giving a few of Dr. Drake's characteristics. Dr. Drake has been a staunch citizen and college worker since his early years. He is the only per-son living who was connected with the" college at the time he to ok charge as physician. In spite of the fact) that "Doc" has seen eighty years pass since he came into this world, he is Still very active, healthful and cheerful. During the fifty-three years or more that he has been connected with the college as its physician he has never missed a day in his duties. But "Doc" is not only known by every Auburn student and Alumni, for he is widely recognized throughout the state for his medical knowledge and skill. He has an unwavering belief in what is right and every Auburn man has 'the utmost confidence in him, Hats off to you, Doctor, we hope that you live to see the century mark of your life pass before you retire from the wonderful servi of faith and love which you have and are now imparting to Aubui men. ^.^ „<-- — Luncheon for Gen. R. L. Bullard A feature of the celebrations held in Auburn in honor of Washington's birthday was the lovely luncheon given for General Roibert Lee Bullard the honor gnest of the day, at. Sinitli Hall. The luncheon was served by the members of the Large Quantity Cookery Class of the Alabama Poly technic Institute under the efficient supervision of Miss Dana Gatchell of Opelika, served as toastmaster for the occasion. Attractive favors, cannon cigars and g*un carriage mint boxes containing red and white mints, were at each place. Large green palms and graceful, trailing fern fronds added to the beauty of the flower decorations. The patriotic color scheme anil plan was carried out throughout the elaborate seven course luncheou which was served. Especially attractive was the fruit entree, shaped and colored in a beautiful replica of the American flag. The guests were charmed with the beauty and tasti-ness of the luncheon and gave a riding vote of thanks in appreciation of the work of Miss Dana Gatchell and her pupils. (Music was furnishecL, by a portion of the college orchestra and was enjoyed by the g"uests during the entire luncheon. The orchestra was placed in the hall of the building, which was gaily festooned with crepe paper streamers of red, white, and blue. ) A guest list of about one hundred and fifty people were present at the luncheon, including relatives and friends of General Bullard, the President of the Alabama Polytechnic In-i stitute, the Lieutenant tGovernor of two gorgeous flags were unfurled and the State, many members of tic Board of Trustees of the institution, a large number of alumni, visiting officers from Fort Benning, the Governors staff, some of the A. P. I. faculty members, a selected group of A. P. I. seniors, and other visitors. In addition to speeches by General Bullard and President Spright Dowell, effective and interesting talks were made by the following distin guished guests: Senator John Rogers. Col. 'R. B.

C. unit, on Drake field in, honor of General Bullard. At this time the military unit was presented with two beautiful flags, one bearing the seal of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute, and the other being the flag of the United States of America. These were given by the Daughter of Alabama of the City of New York in toonor of General Bullard, "Ala. bama's most distinguished son.* Although early in the-morning,-in <9 dication cloudy from behi re that the day would be ainy, the sun came out the clouds just as th« stayed o*ut to brightly shine upon the rest of the auspicious day, which was continued with exercises in Langdon Hall and concluded with the lovely luncheon in honor of General Bullard.

The Cracker State sent over some strong Prep aggregations this year, and had it not been for the fact •that several Georgia teams eliminated each other, there might have been more than two peach-growing teams in the finals. Sad to relate, not a single Alabama Jeam managed to defeat a Georgia aggregation, thus giving the dear neighbors quite an edge, in prep • basketball, at least. Thursday's games showed that there were several teams entered that were good cage combinations, while there several others Jhat were not so good. However the teams all put up good battles and did their very best, which is about all that can be asked of my bunch. In the very first game, the Montgomery-Bell outfit rang up the highest score of the tourney, registering a 52-11 victory over Dadeville. There were two other lopsided games, in the first day's play-off, but in one of them, at least, the margin was not so great as the score might indicate. We refer to the Berry-Wetumpka. contest, whfitf"e the Alabama boys iplayed a good floor game but absolutely could not shoot. After holding the Berrymen to a 5 to 0 score in the first half, the Wetumpkans went td pieces and went down under a 32 to 4 count.

Those who attended said dedication were treated to the sight of one Mr.'Nolan Richardson going wild, with the result that the Plainsmen were sunk under a 37 to 21 score. In fact, the Tigers were butchered to make an Athenian holiday. To make the game a real Athens celebration, Coach Stegeman started a team composed entirely of residents of the city of culture. However, this combination did not go so well, and at the end of eight minutes the Tigers found themselves on the long end of a 4 to 0 score. With their team strengthened by some judicious substitutions, the Georgians pulled up on the Tigers and left them behind. Then the McKinneys got busy and evened up the score once more and brought the game to even terms. However, about this time the Mr. Richardson started to go wild, and the further the game advanced the wilder he got. However, he was far from wild in the sense that a baseball pitcher is wild, for he possessed most remarkable control, sinking eight field goals for a grand, and at the same time, sorrowful total dt sixteen points. While Mr. Richardson was doing !he dirty work, Messrs. Morton and vv'iehrs were helping to keep the Tiger score within bounds. This they did well, although they were not able to keep the two McKin- (Continued on Page 6) Speaking Of Sports THE WINNING COACHES Rats Invade Alex City Saturday Greenies Out To Revenge Berry Defeat NOISY GRISHAM Line The two gentlemen depicted above are no less than the winning coaches of the 1925 football season, Messrs. Noisy Grisham and Pea Greene. Mr. Grisham was the guide, philosopher, and friend of the linemen while the renowed Greene instructed the backs in the intricate art of advancing the oblate ellipsoid. That their instruction j*as__not__without effect is PEA GREEN Backfield shown by the fact that the Juniors were not scored on in the two games, and that they also showed a powerful offense all the way through. While the Grisham and Greene combination was one which proved most successful, all of the class mentors showed a great deal of ability in the coaching line, and as a result, the class games were better played than they have been in some time. With the coming of the baseball season, the various ex-Auburn ball-tossers have started off to training camps to get the old batting eye sharpened up and the old soup-bone limbered. Ed Shirling is getting about the best trip of any of the baseball alumni. The old. Tiger fullback has packed up and gone to California, where he will be in training with the Portland (Ore.) outfit. The Pacific Coast League is pretty fast company, but we believe that Ed will get along alright, especially if he carries along the bat that broke up the Blue Ridge League last summer. Charlie Gibson has gone to Terre Haute/ after a season as reserve catcher on the Athletes.

University of Alabama. 'Bama, by the way, has quite a delegation up in the big show. Speaking of athletic alumni from Auburn, there have been dispatches to11 the effect that "Rip" Major has been very favorably spoken of as head football coach at Duke University. Major has been making quite a reputation at Wofford and all Tiger supporters are pulling for his promotion. The coaching berth has been left vacant by Howard Jones, who leaves Duke for Southern California. The job of handling the North Carolina gridders will be an important one, since Duke is taking great strides in athletics. "Fox" Howe, who punted so sweetly for Auburn year before last, was in Auburn during the week end as coach of the A. M. I. team, which was entered in the Cotton States Tourney. Diamond Artists Hard at Work "Bed" Griffin's Cohorts Preparing for Hard Season All-Class Team Chosen Juniors Lead With Six Members on Mythical Eleven The Rats are off again, this time to Alexander City where they meet the High School aggregation. This contest promises to be a real test for the Plainsboys as the High School quintette is reported to be especially strong. Although the Orange and Blue Rodents have been trailed by Old Man Hard Luck all season there is yet time to avenge past defeats. The Rats have a very artful group of basket ringers and future varsity prospects but they haven't been able to hit their stride. When they do catch up on their long due tossing some poor team is going to sweat blood and all indications point to Alex City High as the victim.

In other words springtime, sweet springtime, will be here soon, and with it w*ll come March winds, April rains, and the usual late strawberry- killing freezes. On with the game I Once again the welkin around Auburn is ringing with that sweetest -of music—the sound of club meeting horsehide. For the Tiger diamond artists have been indulging in batting and running practice for the past week, and are busily engaged in getting the old batting eye sharpened up. It is expected that Coach Cole will start his crew off in the fielding end of the game by next Monday, and, therefore, everybody should be able to see some snappy infield work ere another week has rolled by. Just now the infield that seems to have the inside track consists of Wallis at first, Griffin at second, Allen at short, and Stewart on the hot corner. However, these men have yet to clinch their places, as there are several promising candidates out for every position. Just who will compose the outfield remains a mystery. Jelly Self is pretty sure of one berth, while Market or Sitz will probably take care of another. However, it is a toss-up between Moulfon, Booth, Steen, and others for the center garden. A great leal of attention has been paid to the gentle art of socking them out for the past week or so, as the Plainsmen were woefully weak in this department last year. C. O. Stewart was the leading bat-bmith last year, and his average was not far above the three hundred mark, and he was the only batter in the charmed circle. Several of last year's defeats can be explained in this fashion! # In addition to the hitting tnd the Tigers are being trained in the art of picking 'em up and putting The Junior team has a very large representation in this year's All- Class team, the third year class having six representatives on the mythical eleven. Three of the Freshmen were selected as outstanding players, while the Seniors and Sophomores had. two each. ---Four men received a unanimous vote and therefore the choice of captain is a difficult one to make. However, it is believed that Fats McNeill would be a logical choice for this position, as the Junior pivot man was undoubtedly one of the outstanding players and was a star from beginning to end in both games. He played every minute and should get some consideration on that account. The other men receiving a unanimous choice were Pearce of the Rats, Ralph Sitz of the Sophomores and Trammel of the Juniors. Nelson of the Juniors, and Wood of the Rats, also received a unanimous vote, but the votes were divided between quarter and half. """As is the custom, the team was selected from the votes of the Class coaches. Only five picks were turned in, but this was plenty as the selected players proved, to have "a pretty clear majority. The coaches making the picks were Feny Crane, E. McFaden, C. E. Greene, E. E. Williams, and W. B. Grisham. 'em down. In other other words, more proficiency is being sought in the base running department. The Plainsmen are getting down to real business now as the first tilt is less than a month off. Fort Ben-ning will be the first team met, and the place of meeting will be Gowdy Field. Whenever several teams get together to discuss their merits in any branch of sport, it is customary for the experts and near-experts to select the five leading players, and call it an All-Some- ^thing-or-Other team. Anyone who followed the Cotton States Tourney closely will appreciate what a Herculean task it would be to select five players from such a galaxy of stellar luminaries as appeared in the recent series of combats. However the aforementioned experts, real and synthetic, got to-gother and picked their All-Cotton States Quintette, which they hold up to the world as the ne plus ultra of Southern Prep Cage Talent. And to tell the truth this combination would be exceedingly hard to beat. The All-Cotton States team, as selected, is as follows, Forwards, Howell, Marshallville, and Matthews, G. M. A., Center Drew, Marshallville, and Guards, Eaton, of G. M. A., and De V aughan, of Montezuma. The two forwards on this team were the high scorers of the, meet, Howell leading with forty- seven points, and Matthews coming second with forty-three. As there were many good players taking part in the tourney, there are, of course, some real stars omitted from the line-up. In fact another team almost as good as the first could, be formed from Carrol, Sidney Lanier, and Eaton, Montgomery Bell, at forward, Anderson of Berry, at center, and) Dishman, of G. M. A. and Sturde-vant, of Berry at guards. And that is only one of several good combinations that could be obtained from the teams taking part in the tourney. "If at first you don't succeed, try, try, again," hath said some man of wisdom, and in the words of Shakesp'are, that man of wisdom hath said a mouthful. For two years the Class of '26 entered the final games in an effort to bring home the championship bacon, and for two years they were returned losers. However, on this, the third successive try, their efforts were successful and now the mystic symbols '26 will take the place of the '24 which has ruled on the water tank for so long a time. When the big game started Friday it looked as if the Rats were going to shatter the sweet championship dreams of the Juniors. After the ball had been fumbled about from side to side for about half a quarter, the Rats managed to hold on long enough to carry the fight deep down into the Juniors' territory. However, the Junior line held manfully and the Rat offensive died and with it perished their only real threat of the game. As for the Junior offensive, it seemed to be strangely lacking. The '26 backs seemed to have a perfect horror of holding the ball, and therefore the fumbles were as numerous as flies at a Fourth of July picnic. Every now and then the Juniors would show some real form, but there would usually come the inevitable fumble be-for the offense had lasted long enough to give any real trouble. Then, in the second quarter, came the thunderbolt. Nurmi Nelson had just gone in as sub quarter and on the first play, took the ball from Fats McNiell and start-ed for right tackle. The Rat tackle braced himself and lunged for ihe Auburn Flash. However, when he made :*>e tackle, Nelson was not there. In fact he was a consider-, able distance beyona that point. For Mr. Nelson was at that moment engaged in one of the most furious sprints ever seen on Drake Field, and he did not slacken his pace until he bad crossed the goal line for the first, last, and only touchdown of the game. Despite this setback, however, the Rats fought manfully, but were unable to overcome the lead. Toward the end of the game the Junior steamroller got under way once more, and it looked as if another touchdown was imminent, but the Frosh defense braced up in the shadow of the goal, and the drive was stopped. While Nelson's dash was of course the outstanding play of the afternoon, there were several other men who contributed some good work to the cause. Fats Mc- Niel played his usual game in the line, while Captain Aldridge and Singleton showed up like veterans at guard and tackle respectively and Hart, out on the wing, contributed largely to the holding of the Rats. Messrs. McFadden and Crane had a well-coached Rat team out on the field, their main fault being lack of ability in the kicking line.

MARSHALLVILLE WINS COTTON STATES TOURNEY (Continued from Page 5) team was Montgomery-Bell, who beat Marist in a hard game, 36-22. Marshallville continued their march toward the Cup by an 18 12 victory -over their old rivals, Montezuma. Lanier suprised the crowd, by beating Dekalb 25 to 15, in a game where there were fouls galore, while G. M. A. showed her real strength by beating Berry 23 to 13. For the semi-finals Saturday the dopesters decided that the G. M. A,-Montgomery-Bell game would be a toss-up, while Marshallville would trounce Lanier by a rather substantial margin. This proved to be exactly the case., The College Parkers and Nashvilleans fought a pretty battle, one of the prettiest ever seen in Auburn. Three times did the Tennesseans forge ahead, and three times did the plucky Georgians come back and knot the count. When the time was up the score stood at 22-all, but in the extVa five minutes the Cadets forged ahead and wrested a well-earned 24-23 victory from the Montgomery-Bell aggregation. In the final game, the G. M. A. team was either a bit stale from the furious game of the afternoon or else the Marshallville team was decidedly "right" for the South Georgians swept through the Cadets for a 29-10 victory. Think not for a mome.nt, however, that the losers did not fight, for fight they did, as they had all through the tourney. However, they could not stem the irresistible Marshallville Tornado, and therefore were obliged to give way to the Peach Belters. And so ended the 1925 Cotton States, one of the best in the history of the Tournament. GEORGIA TAKES TIGERS IN TOW, 37-21 (Continued from Page 5) neys entirely in check.

RATS INVADE ALEX CITY SATURDAY (Continued from Page 5) States Tournament the Auburn Freshmen and Berry High School tied up in one of the most interesting contests of the strenuous week-end when the latter defeated the Kittens 20-14. Berry High which had one of the strongest teams in the tournament maintained an early lead from start to finish, leading their opponents; 10-3 at the beginning of the second half. At this juncture Buck Ellis and "Willie" Burns were called in to stem the tide. How well they-strove may be seen by the perceptible rise in the score. Buck Ellis is a brilliant forward and should go far next year on the Varsity. He has been responsible for more goals than any other green-clad warrior, being closely trailed by Ebb James, plucky captain of the Frosh and Buck's running mate at forward The rise of "Willie" Burns at the guard position has been little short of phenomenal. In the last few games he has "displayed a pleasing tendency to break up dribbles and block would be ringers. In the Berry game the Rats were very noticeably deficient in their pass work, having little or no re gard for team work. This condition seems to' be d,ue mainly to the lack of practice as well as to the apparent lack of training of the Tiger Cubs.

"In the middle of one- of my pieces he put his head in his hands and said, 'Oh, heavens. Oh, heavens,' very reverently."—The 'Methodist Recorder. Wirts Meet Monday Night The Wirt Literary Society met on Monday night for its regular program. Business was first taken up, after which the program was rendered. The first number on the program was a talk by Mr. Elder on "The Commemoration of George Washington." This was followed by a debate, Resolved that the Ku Klux Klan is beneficial to the United States. The affirmative was supported by Brown and Smith and the negative by Kinzer and WeSt. The last ^ named speaker substituted for Davis who was absent. The subject was thoroughly discussed by b6th sides, and so well did each side present its arguments that one was in great doubt as to which one was right. The judges, Cason, Elder, and Josey, after some deliberation, announced the decision in favor of the affirmative. f here were several visitors' present and,J it is hoped that they will come in increasing numbers. Y. W. C. A. State-Rep. At a special called meeting of the Auburn Y. W. C. A. held at Smith Hall recently, Dorothy Dug-gar, of Auburn, was elected to the important office of Auburn's State Representative. She will attend the State Executive Y. W. C. A. meeting held at the University this week-end but will nil tak; up her regular duties of o f ire until the other Y. W. C. A. officers are elected. The office of State Representative is practically a new one, having been formulated in October. At that time, Alberta Proctor,, was elected to the office. Its importance as an office is as great as that of the president of the organization. By its holder, the college is known throughout the state and works with the state as a unit. '- Dorothy Duggar is a junior at the Alabama Polytechnic Institute and has beep, prominent i i t t t i e activities of the college. Site is taking ther course in architecture, is "a member of Kappa Delta. Sorority, and is now president of the Auburn Players and of the Auburn chapter of the National dramatic fraternity, Theta Alpha Phi. She has been on the Y. W. C.

Mr. Deason and Mr. Stevens supported the affirmative, While the negative was taken by Mr. Kernodle and Mr. Stewart. After a very hot debate, the appeal to the society, by Mr. Kernodle and Mr. Stewart and a very pathetic appeal to the emotions of the society by Mr. Deason, the negative won the decision of the judges.

OCR Transcript | * Vol. XXVIII AUBURN, ALABAMA, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1925 No. 22 SUPERVISOR AGRICULTURAL ED. CONVO. SPEAKER Interested in Development of Resources Mr. Robert D. Maltby, supervisor of Agricultural Education in twelve southern states and connected with the State office at Montgomery, was the speaker at Convocation on February 19. ' Preceding his talk Scripture Reading was conducted by Rev. Holmes. After this a few moments were devoted to the observation of the eightieth birthday of Dr. J. H. Drake as mentioned elsewhere in this,issue. The speaker was introduced by Mr. Dimmit. Mr. Maltby is very S much interested in the develop-i ment of resources in the South stating that the greatest resources - of the country lie in Dixie. Vocational Education is a great benefit -- to the south and Auburn is playing a large part in this undertaking. He also stated that he believed that with regard to relative numbers, the largest percent are now attending college and the percentage will decrease in the future years, since the* High Schools' are more and more fitting their graduates for life work. It seems that the college will not always j ^K the support of the states, h a ^ i l l be for only the most select class. The college men will be the leaders and will not be placed on the firing line. The idea of the selection of life work as' early as possible was emphasized. Mr. Maltby entered Vocational Education work in 1906 as a teacher in one of the schools and has succeeded to the point where he has been placed as supervisor of several states. GUEST OF HONOR Phi Kappa Phi Initiates Beginning at 6:30 on the evening of February 19, twenty-three students were initiated into 'the, local chapter of Phi Kappa Phi National Honor Fraternity. The initiates were elected at a recent meeting of the chapter, composed of about forty faculty members and a few resident members. This fraternity is a national organiza-for the purpose of encouraging scholarship and original study among students. Members from the upper fourth of the senior class who have attained an average of eighty-five or more are eligible. Immediately following the ceremonies which were very impressive, a banquet was given at the Auburn Tea Room. Professor Baughman acted as toast-master for the evening, explaining certain points about the fraternity to new members and introducing speakers. Mrs. Hicks, Ikerman, Young were called upon to peak as representatives of the various courses represented by the initiates; -Among the other speakers were Mrr. Hixon, Prof. Fullan and Dean J^id. The following members of the Senior Class were initiated: L. T. Agee, Lysbeth Fullan, Mrs. H. B. Hicks, Mrs. McDonald, J. M. Dean, Emily Hare, E. E. Hale, W. L. Randolph, C. C. Smith, A. S. Hodges, W. A. Young, R. L. Reeder, J. W. Fant, E. F. .Williams, J. G. Hieber, GENERAL BULLARD DELIVERS ADDRESS Lieut. Gov. JVC cDowell and Board of Trustees . Preienir ~ -, Gen. Robert Lee Bullard Purnell BUI To Benefit Auburn Insures Funds for Experiment Station. The passing of the Purnell bill by congress last week will prove to be one of the best assets Auburn has or will have for some time to come. The bill provides for each Agricultural Experimental college in the U. S. to receive next year $20,000 to be used in research work. This amount will be increased by ten thousand dollars each year until the sum received by each institution will reach the $60,000 mark. According to these figures in 1929 Auburn's allotment from Federal sources will about equal the amount that is now being received from both Federal and State sources. This will certainly be a^ boost to the experimental station and provide for a greater expansion into the unknown realms of science and securing a better knowledge of thei little that is now •known about some of our everyday problems. Through the backing obtained from this much needed financial support the experiments carried on here should be of much help to the farmer and others concerned. WHERE HE "ACTS UP SOME." I am twenty-five cents. I am not on speaking terms with the butcher. I am too! small to buy a quart of ice-cream. I am not large enough to purchase a box of candy. I am too small to buy a ticket to a movie. I am hardly fit for a tip, but— believe me, when I go to church on Sunday I am considered some money.—The Christian Evangelist (St. Louis). J. A. Ikerman, R. A. Betts, H. F. Schwekendiek, Max Ford, W. B. Wood, R. J. Barefield, A. L. Scott, A. E. Duran, A. Yt McConnell. Dr. Fred Allison was initiated as faculty member: , Stating that there are bolshevistic elements which tend to undermine the very foundation of our government, (Jen. Robert Lee Bullard, of world war fame and president of the National Security! League, urged his audience to watch for and support an adequate program of preparedness. He stated, that thel best way to meet these attacks was through American Patriotic Societies. Gen. Bullard also added that at the early age of nine he selected for himself the name of Robert Lee, which he said was .sufficient refutation of the stories in the Brooklyn Eagle and Literary Digest which quoted him as saving that he was a follower of Sherman rather than Lee. Lieut. Gov. McDowell paid tribute to "Alabama's most distinguished son, Gen. Bullard." Mr. McDowell spoke in the absence of Gov. Brandon. Preceding the addresses by Gen. Bullard and Lieut. Gov. McDowell, invocation was conducted by Rev. N. B. McLeod. My Country 'Tis of Thee and the Alma Mater song were sung by the »!idienc<\ The benediction was rendered by Chaplain E. P. Smith. Auburn was indeed lucky to have such a distinguished son as her guest of honor for these annual exercises. She is proud to claim Gen. Bullard as her own. PRESENTATION OF COLORS Christian Endeavor Last Sunday night we decided to take steps next month toward establishing a Christian Endeavor Society in Opelika. It was not stated what the first move should be, but this will be given out at a later date. This week is the week of prayer for Colleges and Thursday morning, the 26th, at 6:45 A. M., a short prayer service will be held in the Sunday School room of the Presbyterian Church, to pray for the cause of education. Next Sunday night, March 1st, our subject will be "The Cost of Friendliness." NEW YORK CHAPTER DAUGHTERS OF ALA. PRESENT COLORS T. D. Samford Accepts Colors for Institution In Honor Gen.

Following the exercises in Langdon and Smith Halls on February 23, the members of the Auburn Board of Trustees convened for their semi-annual meeting. Lieut. Gov. Cbas. McDowell presided in the absence of Gov. Brandon. Dr. Dowell said in his report: "In spite of an unsuccessful football season, on the basis of winning games and other unexpected developments, the work of the present season has been highly gratifying." He also called the attention of the board to the serious limitations under which the college operates. By a comparison with other colleges of practically the same enrollment} Dr. Dowell showed that the annual appropriation was far below standard and that required for the proper upkeep of the buildings and equipment, and other expenses. The following is quoted as a close to his report: "I cannot close this report without expressing to you) my profound appreciation of the confidence and support you have given me consistently since you named me president. No experience of my life has been more gratifying than the dignified and discriminating way in which you have handled the acute situation that has arisen in recent months. Your unified and voluntary action has inspired me with new zeal and devotion for the work at Auburn."

THE HONOR SYSTEM vt's abolish the Honor System? lr opinion it is. We give as the reason that at present the Au-iHonor System is practically a farce. No one seems to con-p a t they are a part of it and consequently are "hands off" the [affair. According to reports the constitution is being violated "ter time and the offenders are none the worse off. Practically cases turned into the honor committee are by faculty men who i as evidence papers that are similar enough to convict (faculty ^ers do not turn in cases that come to their observation, as this students' place according to the const tution.) Students have Ceard to boast of how they CHEATED on examinations. If this enough to warrant its abolishment it is surely indestructible. In our opinion this is the greatest# problem that has faced the [institution in many years. It is u p ' t o us as students to save the [reputation of Auburn by changing these conditions. They cannot be anged by one person or one small group of persons; there must be cooperation of the entire student body. If Auburn students are lanly-enough to put an honor system across, if they have not enough sense of honor to support it, it is our opinion that it should be abolished. This is in no way discounting the work that is being done by the Honor Committee. They are men who have the Honor , System at heart and are trying to make it work. The fact that six students have been sent from the institution for dishonesty during the past examinations is evidence that they are at work. They lack greatest thing of all—THE COOPERATION OF THE STUDENT IBODY: '• What is going to be done? Something MUST be done and done liuick. Are we going to be men of honor? Keenon, Crump, Freret, Jones, T. W., Naftel and Beavers. A number of members of the class also display their musical talents in the Glee Club. They are: Johnson, Wise, Boyd, Crow, Crump, vBlake Parker and Bankson. In the Mandolin Club we find: Russey, Fon-tille, Moulton, Foy and Jones. We find the best drilled soldier of last term to be "Capt." Staton, a member of the Junior Class. ."" Among the journalists of the Junior class we find E. D. Ball, managing editor of The Plainsman, W. D. Horton, sports editor, Grace Gardner and Dryden Baughman. Messrs. Burgoyne and Thompson are members of the business staff. Third year men also have a good part in the work on the Glomerata and the Alabama Farmer. Juniors are well represented in all branches of college activities such as literary societies, Dramatic Club, etc. They are a very active part of the college. The enrollment at present is two hundred and eighty-five which includes about twenty women students. The spirit of the entire class is fine. They have a big part to play and are playing it well. College students like things "short and snappy." Perhaps it was a realization of this fact that prompted the writing of "Plane Trigonometry" by Prof. Crenshaw of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute and Prof. Derr of Southern Presbyterian University. This book, which was published and came into practical use about a year ago, has been of material aid to the student wandering through the mazes of that mathematical wilderness. Professor Crenshaw, who was one of the foremost factors in the writing, editing, and publishing of this small volume, is a member of the faculty at A. P. I., and an alumnus of the institution. Hey was born at Greenville, Alabama, and received his early education in that town. Birmingham and, Montgomery. Fol lowing up this secondary education he came to A. P. I. and, graduated Is such a request justifiable JK 1889 w i t h a B s d e g r e e a nd "with tiighesf honors," a disfihe^ ti'on few attain. In the next year the degree of Mechanical Engineer was awarded him. His profession is teaching and from 1891 to date he has been connected with the Mathematics Department of this institution, climbing from step to step until at present he is head of the department. This gentleman has that quality found in few teachers, that is, the ability to teach the most of his particular subject with seemingly, the least effort for all parties concerned. A visualization of the problem before the student and the best way to meet it with the elimination of all unnecessary detail seems to be ever in the foreground with him. Courses under him and contact with him are a pleasure *and a delight to all who have the good fortune to be placed in such a situation. Y. W. C. A. Anyone wishing to express their opinion on the subject of The jpor System may do so by mailing to The Plainsman by Tuesday. 5 must be signed and of course of a publishable nature. THE JUNIOR CLASS The Junior Class has recently become an important figure on the campus in that they came out victors in the recent class football games. They will have the distinction of placing the '26 on both tanks next year. C. B. Burgoyne, president of the class, is from the Gulf City. "Buck" has discharged his duties of office nobly since his election and is always ready to do anything for the good of the institution. .-He may also be credited with being quite a,luminary on the gridiron since the class games. "Buck" No. 2 is in the form of "Buck" Spinks, Vice-Presilent of the class, whoJ hails from Thomas ville, Alabama. He holds the end position on the Tiger Squad nobly. The position of Secretary is held, as it should be, by the Wise man of the class. Wise has shown wonderful ability in the art of making friends. Frank Russey holds the position of Treasurer while the Historian is the w U known Mr. James Jenkins who is majoring in history. The Junior Class is justly proud of the fact that eleven of their members are wearing the orange "A". These men are: McFadden, Self, Spinks. Williams, Green, and Market in football, Stewart, Maury and Self in baseball, McKinney and Gray in basketball, while Nelson earned his! on the cinder path. Other Junior football luminaries are: McEldery, McCulley, John- Honeycutt, McNeill, Mims. As candidates for baseball other than men- we find Johnson, Williams and Cochran. On the path j[elson we find Joe Young, Belcher, and Staton. Along with and Gray, Evans made a fine showing on the Tiger quin-fcid the Junior Class well represented on the band roster. es Juniors may feel proud, of the fact that the well known lor, Frank Russey, is one of their fellow classmates. Other (of the band are: Jones, Bilbo, Brown, Fontille, McConhell, Three student representatives leave Auburn on Friday to attend the important State Executive Meeting of the Y. W. C. A. which is being held at the University of Alabama, this week-end. The State Chairman^ of college Y. W. C. A. is an Auburn student, Emily Hare, and she will preside at the Executive meeting. Representatives from nine colleges in the state will be present at the meeting. Plans and policies for the yeai of 1925-26 will be formulated. A national Y. W. C. A. Secretary, Miss Katherine D. Lumpkin, whose present headquarters are in Atlanta, will attend and will report the meeting to the National Y. W. C. A. Alabama has taken a great step forward in Y. W. C. ., it is thought, in its organization as a state, which toolj place at the State Conference held in Auburn in October, 1924. Since that time material progress has been made in Y. W. C. A. work in the various colleges. With a unified program of action it is posible for Y. W. C. A. to become a real force in the colleges of the state and plans for High School extension work may be formulated at the coming executive meeting. Each college is allowed only two representatives to attend this executive meeting. The two students who will represent Auburn are Alberta Proctor, of Scotsboro, and Dorothy Duggar, of* Auburn. Emily Hare of Auburn will attend, representing the State as State Chairman. i-ri&a of Home Economics Instruction at Auburn. , The large dining room of the hall was elaborately decorated in the patriotic colors. 'Great baskets of red and white carnations, tied with blue tulle, adorned the tables. Above, the door in the background floated the flag of our country, waving pro tectlngly above the head of one of its greatest war heroes. Tables were shaped in an open rectangle, in the center of which at four tables forming a cross, sat the guest of honor and other distinguished visitors. The Hon. T. D. Samford, DR. J. H. DRAKE REACHES HIS EIGHTIETH BIRTHDAY Preceding the regular Convocation day program, February 19, a few minutes were devoted to the honor of Dr. J. H. Drake, who on that day reached the eightieth year of his life. Dean Petrie explained the occasion, giving a few of Dr. Drake's characteristics. Dr. Drake has been a staunch citizen and college worker since his early years. He is the only per-son living who was connected with the" college at the time he to ok charge as physician. In spite of the fact) that "Doc" has seen eighty years pass since he came into this world, he is Still very active, healthful and cheerful. During the fifty-three years or more that he has been connected with the college as its physician he has never missed a day in his duties. But "Doc" is not only known by every Auburn student and Alumni, for he is widely recognized throughout the state for his medical knowledge and skill. He has an unwavering belief in what is right and every Auburn man has 'the utmost confidence in him, Hats off to you, Doctor, we hope that you live to see the century mark of your life pass before you retire from the wonderful servi of faith and love which you have and are now imparting to Aubui men. ^.^ „<-- — Luncheon for Gen. R. L. Bullard A feature of the celebrations held in Auburn in honor of Washington's birthday was the lovely luncheon given for General Roibert Lee Bullard the honor gnest of the day, at. Sinitli Hall. The luncheon was served by the members of the Large Quantity Cookery Class of the Alabama Poly technic Institute under the efficient supervision of Miss Dana Gatchell of Opelika, served as toastmaster for the occasion. Attractive favors, cannon cigars and g*un carriage mint boxes containing red and white mints, were at each place. Large green palms and graceful, trailing fern fronds added to the beauty of the flower decorations. The patriotic color scheme anil plan was carried out throughout the elaborate seven course luncheou which was served. Especially attractive was the fruit entree, shaped and colored in a beautiful replica of the American flag. The guests were charmed with the beauty and tasti-ness of the luncheon and gave a riding vote of thanks in appreciation of the work of Miss Dana Gatchell and her pupils. (Music was furnishecL, by a portion of the college orchestra and was enjoyed by the g"uests during the entire luncheon. The orchestra was placed in the hall of the building, which was gaily festooned with crepe paper streamers of red, white, and blue. ) A guest list of about one hundred and fifty people were present at the luncheon, including relatives and friends of General Bullard, the President of the Alabama Polytechnic In-i stitute, the Lieutenant tGovernor of two gorgeous flags were unfurled and the State, many members of tic Board of Trustees of the institution, a large number of alumni, visiting officers from Fort Benning, the Governors staff, some of the A. P. I. faculty members, a selected group of A. P. I. seniors, and other visitors. In addition to speeches by General Bullard and President Spright Dowell, effective and interesting talks were made by the following distin guished guests: Senator John Rogers. Col. 'R. B.

At this time the military unit was presented with two beautiful flags, one bearing the seal of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute, and the other being the flag of the United States of America. These were given by the Daughter of Alabama of the City of New York in toonor of General Bullard, "Ala. bama's most distinguished son.* Although early in the-morning,-in <9 dication cloudy from behi re that the day would be ainy, the sun came out the clouds just as th« stayed o*ut to brightly shine upon the rest of the auspicious day, which was continued with exercises in Langdon Hall and concluded with the lovely luncheon in honor of General Bullard.

The Cracker State sent over some strong Prep aggregations this year, and had it not been for the fact •that several Georgia teams eliminated each other, there might have been more than two peach-growing teams in the finals. Sad to relate, not a single Alabama Jeam managed to defeat a Georgia aggregation, thus giving the dear neighbors quite an edge, in prep • basketball, at least. Thursday's games showed that there were several teams entered that were good cage combinations, while there several others Jhat were not so good. However the teams all put up good battles and did their very best, which is about all that can be asked of my bunch. In the very first game, the Montgomery-Bell outfit rang up the highest score of the tourney, registering a 52-11 victory over Dadeville. There were two other lopsided games, in the first day's play-off, but in one of them, at least, the margin was not so great as the score might indicate. We refer to the Berry-Wetumpka. contest, whfitf"e the Alabama boys iplayed a good floor game but absolutely could not shoot. After holding the Berrymen to a 5 to 0 score in the first half, the Wetumpkans went td pieces and went down under a 32 to 4 count.

Those who attended said dedication were treated to the sight of one Mr.'Nolan Richardson going wild, with the result that the Plainsmen were sunk under a 37 to 21 score. In fact, the Tigers were butchered to make an Athenian holiday. To make the game a real Athens celebration, Coach Stegeman started a team composed entirely of residents of the city of culture. However, this combination did not go so well, and at the end of eight minutes the Tigers found themselves on the long end of a 4 to 0 score. With their team strengthened by some judicious substitutions, the Georgians pulled up on the Tigers and left them behind. Then the McKinneys got busy and evened up the score once more and brought the game to even terms. However, about this time the Mr. Richardson started to go wild, and the further the game advanced the wilder he got. However, he was far from wild in the sense that a baseball pitcher is wild, for he possessed most remarkable control, sinking eight field goals for a grand, and at the same time, sorrowful total dt sixteen points. While Mr. Richardson was doing !he dirty work, Messrs. Morton and vv'iehrs were helping to keep the Tiger score within bounds. This they did well, although they were not able to keep the two McKin- (Continued on Page 6) Speaking Of Sports THE WINNING COACHES Rats Invade Alex City Saturday Greenies Out To Revenge Berry Defeat NOISY GRISHAM Line The two gentlemen depicted above are no less than the winning coaches of the 1925 football season, Messrs. Noisy Grisham and Pea Greene. Mr. Grisham was the guide, philosopher, and friend of the linemen while the renowed Greene instructed the backs in the intricate art of advancing the oblate ellipsoid. That their instruction j*as__not__without effect is PEA GREEN Backfield shown by the fact that the Juniors were not scored on in the two games, and that they also showed a powerful offense all the way through. While the Grisham and Greene combination was one which proved most successful, all of the class mentors showed a great deal of ability in the coaching line, and as a result, the class games were better played than they have been in some time. With the coming of the baseball season, the various ex-Auburn ball-tossers have started off to training camps to get the old batting eye sharpened up and the old soup-bone limbered. Ed Shirling is getting about the best trip of any of the baseball alumni. The old. Tiger fullback has packed up and gone to California, where he will be in training with the Portland (Ore.) outfit. The Pacific Coast League is pretty fast company, but we believe that Ed will get along alright, especially if he carries along the bat that broke up the Blue Ridge League last summer. Charlie Gibson has gone to Terre Haute/ after a season as reserve catcher on the Athletes.

University of Alabama. 'Bama, by the way, has quite a delegation up in the big show. Speaking of athletic alumni from Auburn, there have been dispatches to11 the effect that "Rip" Major has been very favorably spoken of as head football coach at Duke University. Major has been making quite a reputation at Wofford and all Tiger supporters are pulling for his promotion. The coaching berth has been left vacant by Howard Jones, who leaves Duke for Southern California. The job of handling the North Carolina gridders will be an important one, since Duke is taking great strides in athletics. "Fox" Howe, who punted so sweetly for Auburn year before last, was in Auburn during the week end as coach of the A. M. I. team, which was entered in the Cotton States Tourney. Diamond Artists Hard at Work "Bed" Griffin's Cohorts Preparing for Hard Season All-Class Team Chosen Juniors Lead With Six Members on Mythical Eleven The Rats are off again, this time to Alexander City where they meet the High School aggregation. This contest promises to be a real test for the Plainsboys as the High School quintette is reported to be especially strong. Although the Orange and Blue Rodents have been trailed by Old Man Hard Luck all season there is yet time to avenge past defeats. The Rats have a very artful group of basket ringers and future varsity prospects but they haven't been able to hit their stride.

In other words springtime, sweet springtime, will be here soon, and with it w*ll come March winds, April rains, and the usual late strawberry- killing freezes. On with the game I Once again the welkin around Auburn is ringing with that sweetest -of music—the sound of club meeting horsehide. For the Tiger diamond artists have been indulging in batting and running practice for the past week, and are busily engaged in getting the old batting eye sharpened up. It is expected that Coach Cole will start his crew off in the fielding end of the game by next Monday, and, therefore, everybody should be able to see some snappy infield work ere another week has rolled by. Just now the infield that seems to have the inside track consists of Wallis at first, Griffin at second, Allen at short, and Stewart on the hot corner. However, these men have yet to clinch their places, as there are several promising candidates out for every position. Just who will compose the outfield remains a mystery. Jelly Self is pretty sure of one berth, while Market or Sitz will probably take care of another. However, it is a toss-up between Moulfon, Booth, Steen, and others for the center garden. A great leal of attention has been paid to the gentle art of socking them out for the past week or so, as the Plainsmen were woefully weak in this department last year. C. O. Stewart was the leading bat-bmith last year, and his average was not far above the three hundred mark, and he was the only batter in the charmed circle. Several of last year's defeats can be explained in this fashion! # In addition to the hitting tnd the Tigers are being trained in the art of picking 'em up and putting The Junior team has a very large representation in this year's All- Class team, the third year class having six representatives on the mythical eleven. Three of the Freshmen were selected as outstanding players, while the Seniors and Sophomores had. two each. ---Four men received a unanimous vote and therefore the choice of captain is a difficult one to make. However, it is believed that Fats McNeill would be a logical choice for this position, as the Junior pivot man was undoubtedly one of the outstanding players and was a star from beginning to end in both games. He played every minute and should get some consideration on that account. The other men receiving a unanimous choice were Pearce of the Rats, Ralph Sitz of the Sophomores and Trammel of the Juniors. Nelson of the Juniors, and Wood of the Rats, also received a unanimous vote, but the votes were divided between quarter and half. """As is the custom, the team was selected from the votes of the Class coaches. Only five picks were turned in, but this was plenty as the selected players proved, to have "a pretty clear majority. The coaches making the picks were Feny Crane, E. McFaden, C. E. Greene, E. E. Williams, and W. B. Grisham. 'em down. In other other words, more proficiency is being sought in the base running department. The Plainsmen are getting down to real business now as the first tilt is less than a month off. Fort Ben-ning will be the first team met, and the place of meeting will be Gowdy Field. Whenever several teams get together to discuss their merits in any branch of sport, it is customary for the experts and near-experts to select the five leading players, and call it an All-Some- ^thing-or-Other team. Anyone who followed the Cotton States Tourney closely will appreciate what a Herculean task it would be to select five players from such a galaxy of stellar luminaries as appeared in the recent series of combats. However the aforementioned experts, real and synthetic, got to-gother and picked their All-Cotton States Quintette, which they hold up to the world as the ne plus ultra of Southern Prep Cage Talent. And to tell the truth this combination would be exceedingly hard to beat. The All-Cotton States team, as selected, is as follows, Forwards, Howell, Marshallville, and Matthews, G. M. A., Center Drew, Marshallville, and Guards, Eaton, of G. M. A., and De V aughan, of Montezuma. The two forwards on this team were the high scorers of the, meet, Howell leading with forty- seven points, and Matthews coming second with forty-three. As there were many good players taking part in the tourney, there are, of course, some real stars omitted from the line-up. In fact another team almost as good as the first could, be formed from Carrol, Sidney Lanier, and Eaton, Montgomery Bell, at forward, Anderson of Berry, at center, and) Dishman, of G. M. A. and Sturde-vant, of Berry at guards. And that is only one of several good combinations that could be obtained from the teams taking part in the tourney. "If at first you don't succeed, try, try, again," hath said some man of wisdom, and in the words of Shakesp'are, that man of wisdom hath said a mouthful. For two years the Class of '26 entered the final games in an effort to bring home the championship bacon, and for two years they were returned losers. However, on this, the third successive try, their efforts were successful and now the mystic symbols '26 will take the place of the '24 which has ruled on the water tank for so long a time. When the big game started Friday it looked as if the Rats were going to shatter the sweet championship dreams of the Juniors. After the ball had been fumbled about from side to side for about half a quarter, the Rats managed to hold on long enough to carry the fight deep down into the Juniors' territory. However, the Junior line held manfully and the Rat offensive died and with it perished their only real threat of the game. As for the Junior offensive, it seemed to be strangely lacking. The '26 backs seemed to have a perfect horror of holding the ball, and therefore the fumbles were as numerous as flies at a Fourth of July picnic. Every now and then the Juniors would show some real form, but there would usually come the inevitable fumble be-for the offense had lasted long enough to give any real trouble. Then, in the second quarter, came the thunderbolt. Nurmi Nelson had just gone in as sub quarter and on the first play, took the ball from Fats McNiell and start-ed for right tackle. The Rat tackle braced himself and lunged for ihe Auburn Flash. However, when he made :*>e tackle, Nelson was not there. In fact he was a consider-, able distance beyona that point. For Mr. Nelson was at that moment engaged in one of the most furious sprints ever seen on Drake Field, and he did not slacken his pace until he bad crossed the goal line for the first, last, and only touchdown of the game. Despite this setback, however, the Rats fought manfully, but were unable to overcome the lead. Toward the end of the game the Junior steamroller got under way once more, and it looked as if another touchdown was imminent, but the Frosh defense braced up in the shadow of the goal, and the drive was stopped. While Nelson's dash was of course the outstanding play of the afternoon, there were several other men who contributed some good work to the cause. Fats Mc- Niel played his usual game in the line, while Captain Aldridge and Singleton showed up like veterans at guard and tackle respectively and Hart, out on the wing, contributed largely to the holding of the Rats. Messrs. McFadden and Crane had a well-coached Rat team out on the field, their main fault being lack of ability in the kicking line.

MARSHALLVILLE WINS COTTON STATES TOURNEY (Continued from Page 5) team was Montgomery-Bell, who beat Marist in a hard game, 36-22. Marshallville continued their march toward the Cup by an 18 12 victory -over their old rivals, Montezuma. Lanier suprised the crowd, by beating Dekalb 25 to 15, in a game where there were fouls galore, while G. M. A. showed her real strength by beating Berry 23 to 13. For the semi-finals Saturday the dopesters decided that the G. M. A,-Montgomery-Bell game would be a toss-up, while Marshallville would trounce Lanier by a rather substantial margin. This proved to be exactly the case., The College Parkers and Nashvilleans fought a pretty battle, one of the prettiest ever seen in Auburn. Three times did the Tennesseans forge ahead, and three times did the plucky Georgians come back and knot the count. When the time was up the score stood at 22-all, but in the extVa five minutes the Cadets forged ahead and wrested a well-earned 24-23 victory from the Montgomery-Bell aggregation. In the final game, the G. M. A. team was either a bit stale from the furious game of the afternoon or else the Marshallville team was decidedly "right" for the South Georgians swept through the Cadets for a 29-10 victory. Think not for a mome.nt, however, that the losers did not fight, for fight they did, as they had all through the tourney. However, they could not stem the irresistible Marshallville Tornado, and therefore were obliged to give way to the Peach Belters. And so ended the 1925 Cotton States, one of the best in the history of the Tournament. GEORGIA TAKES TIGERS IN TOW, 37-21 (Continued from Page 5) neys entirely in check.

RATS INVADE ALEX CITY SATURDAY (Continued from Page 5) States Tournament the Auburn Freshmen and Berry High School tied up in one of the most interesting contests of the strenuous week-end when the latter defeated the Kittens 20-14. Berry High which had one of the strongest teams in the tournament maintained an early lead from start to finish, leading their opponents; 10-3 at the beginning of the second half. At this juncture Buck Ellis and "Willie" Burns were called in to stem the tide. How well they-strove may be seen by the perceptible rise in the score. Buck Ellis is a brilliant forward and should go far next year on the Varsity. He has been responsible for more goals than any other green-clad warrior, being closely trailed by Ebb James, plucky captain of the Frosh and Buck's running mate at forward The rise of "Willie" Burns at the guard position has been little short of phenomenal. In the last few games he has "displayed a pleasing tendency to break up dribbles and block would be ringers. In the Berry game the Rats were very noticeably deficient in their pass work, having little or no re gard for team work. This condition seems to' be d,ue mainly to the lack of practice as well as to the apparent lack of training of the Tiger Cubs.

Websterians Meet The Websterian Literary Society met on Feb. 24 amid a deluge of enthusiasm which swept every member before it like a towering wave of an angry sea tosses the best efforts of man. Miss Georgia Thomas opened the program with a Bible reading. A Relation of the Life of George Washington was very well given by Miss Thelma McGinty, the time and occasion causing much interest in the subject. Miss Alberta Proctor spoke on The Many Different Languages of Today. The Troubles of Harvard was the subject of Mr. O. T. Ivey's talk. Business was then taken up, the chief item being the membership contest. Mr. H. A. Small read the requirements for the contest as follows: Ten points to be given fori each new member. One point to be given for attendance each time. Two points to be given, for each service on the program. Four points fine for failure to serve on the program wheij placed thereon.

Montgomery-Bell Academy, semi-finalist in the recent Cotton States Tourney, was high scorer in the meet with a total of one hundred and twenty-one points. Marshallville as second with one hundred and three, being the only other team to break the century mark. G. M. A., the runner up, came third with eighty-seven markers. The Nashville boys also had the high-water mark for a single game,' socking.the Dadeville outfit to the tune of 52 to 11. Montezuma with thirty-eight points against Pickens County was the second team, in this respect. Gordon Howell, brilliant forward on the Marshallville team, was the individual high scorer with forty-seven points, more than eight of the entering teams were able to muster. Fats Matthews, whose sensational work contributed largely toward the success of the G. M. A. team, was second with forty-three markers.- The Tournament scores are as follows: THURSDAY'S GAMES Montgomery Bell, 52; Tallapoosa County, 11. Montezuma, 38; Pickens County, 21.

Wirts Meet Monday Night The Wirt Literary Society met on Monday night for its regular program. Business was first taken up, after which the program was rendered. The first number on the program was a talk by Mr. Elder on "The Commemoration of George Washington." This was followed by a debate, Resolved that the Ku Klux Klan is beneficial to the United States. The affirmative was supported by Brown and Smith and the negative by Kinzer and WeSt. The last ^ named speaker substituted for Davis who was absent. The subject was thoroughly discussed by b6th sides, and so well did each side present its arguments that one was in great doubt as to which one was right. The judges, Cason, Elder, and Josey, after some deliberation, announced the decision in favor of the affirmative. f here were several visitors' present and,J it is hoped that they will come in increasing numbers. Y. W. C. A. State-Rep. At a special called meeting of the Auburn Y. W. C.
