Silver Loving Cup To Be Given
By Interfraternity Council
For Winning Decorations
RULES GIVEN
Appearance Both In Daytime
And Nighttime To Count In
Contest Of Fraternity Houses
Plans for the annual interfraterni­ty
house decorating contest to be
held on Homecoming day have been
completed, according to Vernie Hol-loway,
chairman of the Interfrater­nity
Council decorating committee.
A silver loving cup will be presented
to the fraternity which is the most
appropriately decorated for the oc­casion.
The houses will be judged in both
daytime and nighttime, with each
judging counting 50 per cent. The
consideration, for the night decora­tions
is given because of the fact
that several of the fraternities plan
to use lighting effects as a part of
their decorations.
Cost Limited
No fraternity will be allowed to
spend more than $20 on their scenes.
Any group exceeding this specified
amount will be automatically disquali­fied
in the contest. An itemized bill
for the materials used in the deco­rations
must be submitted to Vernie
Holloway at the Delta Sigma Phi
house by each group taking .part in
the contest by 11:00 a.m. Friday,
November 20. Judges will take into
consideration the amount used in the
decorations.
Judge* Selected
The Interfraternity Council com­mittee
that is in charge of these
Homecoming decorations is composed
of Vernie Holloway, chairman;
Fletcher Bullard; and Tommy Hagan.
The following judges have been se­lected:
Capt. R. E. M. Des Islets,
Mrs. Hoyt Jolly, and Mr. P. O. Davis.
Sigma Alpha Epsilon was awarded
first prize in the contest last year.
Second place honors went to Sigma
Chi, with Lambda Chi and A. T. O.
figuring closely for the third and
fourth places.
Anak Dance
Tech's Anak Club is sponsoring
a dance Saturday night in honor
of the annual Tech-Auburn foot­ball
game. The dance will be held
in the Naval Armory.
The Anak Club, an honorary
society corresponding to our "A"
Club, have obtained the services
of the Auburn Knights to furnish
the rhythm.
According to reports, the dance
is rendered quite attractive by the
presence of Atlanta's debs and
sub-debs.

INTERESTING PEOPLE, SIGHTS
SEEN BY PLAYERS ON COAST
Players Have Many Tales To Tell Of Their Experiences On
The Gold Coast; Warner Brothers Studio Visited By Entire
Group; Oakland Bay Bridge Crossed At Its Dedication
By WALLACE OWEN
The football players back from the
Gold Coast after their clash with
Santa Clara university at San Fran­cisco
last Saturday have many tales
of interesting observations, both of
Southern and Northern California.
The trip was, according to the en­tire
group that made the trip west­ward,
pretty tiresome insofar as the
actual travel on the train was con­cerned,
but the pleasurable expe­riences
after arrival in California
more than compensated for any dis­comfort
that they experienced en-route.
Arriving in Los Angeles, Wednes­day,
October 28, the Auburn boys
were met by busses which carried
them to their hotel, The Lancaster,
after which they were the guests of
Warner Brothers First National Stu­dios
out in San Fernando valley.. It
was noon when the arrived at the
studios, perhaps the worst time of
the day -to visit if one wants to see
a picture in the making, for all of
the cast, save a few who were re­hearsing,
was at lunch. This had its
advantages, though, for it afforded
the boys an opportunity to examine
the studio,' sound stages, and stage
property more closely.
See "Captain Blood" Ship
Jimmy Fenton tells that he saw
the ship that was used in the filming
of "Captain Blood", starring Errol
Flynn and Olivia DeHavilland. On
another sound stage in the Warner's
studio, he saw the apparatus set up
for a picture now in production to be
named, "Ready, Willing, and Able",
starring Ruby Keeler and Ross Alex­ander.
He claims that the "props"
in the studio are really remarkable.
A building which is to represent a
structure as tall, let us say as the
Empire State Building, in reality. is
a beaverboard structure no larger
than your own front door.
If the property man wants to build
a small town, all he really does is
have the carpenter build the fronts
of the buildings and have a painter
do the rest. The scenes of New
York's skyline as seen from the bal­cony
by your favorite hero and hero­ine
while he whispers sweet nothings
into her little ear are painted on
canvas and protographed right in the
studio.

Project Has Been Attempted
Before But Lack Of Efficient
Organization Caused Failure
Two large signs bearing the in­scription,
"Welcome to Auburn", will
be erected on the two incoming high­ways
by Blue Key in the early part
of next week.
The signs, designed and painted by
Pete Brazelle, consist of a large orange
football on a background of blue bear­ing
out the school colors. It is set
forth on the signs that Auburn is the
home of the Alabama Polytechnic In­stitute
and that the signs were erect­ed
by Blue Key. One sign will be
placed on the curve near the Beta
Kappa house and the other will be
placed on the curve just beyond Ag
Hill.
Dick Charlton, president of Blue
Key, states that the society realized
the need of such signs and since the
city neglected to erect them, they took
it on themselves to do the job. Many

I'M COMING
Pete, Of Epistle Fame, To
Go Home T o His
Mirandy Lou
By HOWARD WORKMAN
Rumors that Peterkin Josephus
Rainyweather was going home to the
hills of Alabama were substantiated
today by a statement to that effect by
"Pete" himself. He stated,
"I have stood hit jest as long as I
can. I'm going home tew my paw and
my Mirandey Lou. I have done writ
them and told them jest like Ole' Black
Joe, 'I'm coming.' This college life is
much too strenuous fer a man of my
pedigree. If I could keep supplied with
good cawn likker from home I might
could stood hit. But I can't and be­sides
I have a longing in my heart fer
my ole gal that these flossy co-eds
can't make me forget. I ain't got time
tew tell all my friends good-bye but
I'm off in a cloud of dust. Goodbye,
ole boy."
It was revealed in a communication
with a Mr. Pettingill of Pete's home
county that the real reason for the
boy's hurry to get home was that his
son and Pete's rival, Tobias Anderson
Pettingill, had made serious inroads
in the love affair between Pete and
Mirandey Lou. He stated that the new
clash of rivalry between the boys
would with little doubt renew the
Rainyweather-Pettingill feud which
has been in existence for seventy-one
years.

Annual Torch Light Parade
Attracts Largest Number To
Participate In Several Years
ENTHUSIASM HIGH
Frosh Crash Opelika Theatre
After Hoboing To That City;
Damage Caused To Train
The gigantic mass meeting held last
night gave evidence to uphold the tra
dition that "Auburn spirit never dies,
whether the team loses, wins, or ties."
All freshmen were bedecked with pa­jamas
and brandishing torches.
Beginning at Langdon Hall the pa­rade
continued through town and end­ed
with a rally on Toomer's corner
Immediately following the yells the
freshmen built a bon-fire of their
torches and staged a war dance
around it.
Preceding the mass meeting the
spirited freshmen raided the girl's
dormitory meeting a surprizing array
of armed co-eds who beat them back
with sticks and water. Similar re­sistance
was met when the freshmen
attempted to board the train, but the
men would not be denied and rode
the train to Opelika where they
"crashed" the show. These actions
have become traditional -since they
were initiated by the Class of '38.
The excellent spirit shown by the
crowd has shown the team that even
defeat cannot quench- the traditional
spirit of the Plains. Cheerleader Lee
was pleased with the turnout and re­minded
the crowd to meet at the
Terminal Sation in Atlanta for the
street parade to be staged there Sat­urday
beginning at 11 o'clock.

N O T I C E !
There will be a mass meeting Tues­day
night at 7:30 in Langdon Hall.
Mr. Seymour Hall, president of the
Birmingham Alumni Association, will
be the guest speaker.
Auburn students will be pleased to
hear that Captain Des Islets, popular
officer in the Engineer unit of A. P.
I., has received one of the coveted ap­pointments
to Fort Leavenworth,
Kansas, which is an important step
toward the rank of General.
Captain Des Islets is one of the few
officers from Auburn to attain this
honor. The Captain, though five years
below the minimum age requirement
for entering the fort, won his appoint­ment
because of his very excellent mili­tary
record. He is to report at Leaven­worth
not later than August 15, 1937,
thus permitting him to finish this year
at Auburn. He expressed his regrets,
however, that he would probably be
unable to attend the R. O. T. C. camp
this summer.
Captain Des Islets graduated from
West Point in 1926 with one of the
highest records of the institution.
While at the Academy he was an out­standing
athlete, winning his letter in
boxing and football. After getting his
commission, he played professional
football with the Texas Rangers for
a time, then entered the military ser­vice
along the Mexican Border. From
there he was transferred to Honolulu,
and then to Auburn, where he has
been stationed the past two years.

The Auburn Tigers entrain today
for Atlanta where they will play the
Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets for the
40th time in What promises to be one
of the best games in the Southeastern
Conference for the week-end.
The Plainsmen will be weakened
considerably by the loss of Wilton Kil-gore,
star fullback, who was injured
in the Santa Clara tilt last .week and
is still on the injured list. His duties
will probably be taken over by "Dutch"
Heath, ' junior from Birmingham.
Heath showed up well in California
when he substituted for Kilgore after
the latter was injured and should be
of considerable aid to the Tigers in
cracking the Engineers forward wall.
Razzle-Dazzle Feared
Coach Jack Meagher has been work­ing
the squad rather hard since their
return from San Francisco in an ef­fort
to limber up muscles stiffened
from the long trek on the rails. Scrim­mages,
blocking, pass offense, and pass
defense have occupied the practice ses­sions
with practically everyone on the
squad seeing service. The Tigers chief
worry promises to be the razzle dazzle
passing attack used by the Yellow
Jackets and it is against this depart­ment
of the game that Coach Meagher
has been emphasizing defensive tactics.
The Jacket team will be rather
weakened by the loss of several star
players who were banged up in the
Clemson contest and this should prove
to be a decided asset to the Auburn
team. In addition, the Engineers re­cord
to date is not up to that of
Auburn's as they have suffered two
defeats from teams outside the Con­ference
and one tie at the hands of
Vanderbilt On the other hand,
Auburn has lost but one game outside
the S. E. C. ,and been tied by Tulane.

The lead-out for the big day in

from the Union Station to Five

Deferred Rushing Halted By
Lack Of Housing Facilities
As was expected the rule outlined
in the proposed system of deferred
rushing which prohibitedrushees from
spending the night in the various fra­ternity
houses until the beginning of
open rushing proved the stumbling
block to the acceptance of the pro­posal.
The timely suggestion by Prof. J.
M. Robinson, however, seems to have
the possibilities of eliminating the un­desirable
feature of this rule and pave
the way for the adoption of some
method of deferring pledging.
The main obstacle which remains in
the path is that of obtaining the nec­essary
rooming facilities for prospec­tive
rushees with no obligation to
either of the parties. New houses
which are being erected near Bullard
Field appear to be ideal for this pur­pose
since, according to our under­standing,
they will not be in use dur­ing
that week.
Aside from the opposition to the
above mentioned rule, the remainder
of the objections seemed to boil down
to the fact that some, of the Interfra-ternity
Council members appeared op­posed
to the system simply because it
was a change from the old order. And
this despite the fact that fraternity
men had previously voted almost 4 to
1 in favor of a change. In view of
such a overwhelming majority having
declared themselves as being dissatis­fied
with the present method, it would
seem that if Prof. Robinson's sugges­tion
could be carried out. Then the
Council should see its way clear to
give the resulting proposal at least a
one year's trial.
America Votes Confidence-
Yet Some Shout "Communism"
America went to the polls and vot­ed
confidence in Roosevelt—such an
overwhelming vote that has never be­fore
been given a President of Unit­ed
States. But the victory was de­served,
if for no other reason than
what the President has given the
country in the last four years. It
was a vote of appreciation, of loyal­ty,
of belief in those principles ad­vocated
by Roosevelt.
In spite of this overwhelming ma­jority
there are those hypercritical
few who have talked overmuch con­cerning
the kind of government
Roosevelt has and will give the United
States. There have been wild imagin­ings
about tendencies away from the
American principles of government
and leanings towards Communism.
Roosevelt has been fantastically ac­cused
of heading towards dictator­ship
and of endangering American
liberty.
Such charges have come from the
fanatical small minority and not from
most of those who sincerely opposed
Roosevelt and American masses have
expressed their belief against these
accusations. The people know Roose­velt,
what he stands for, and what he
opposes—including such items as
Communism and Dictatorship.
Literary Section Of Plainsman
Should Prove Beneficial
A sufficient amount of literary and
journalistic material has been gather­ed
to publish a supplement to the Wed­nesday
issue of the Plainsman. This
supplement, or magazine section, is
made up of short stories, feature
stories, poems, and any other material
that is suited for such a publication.
All of the material was contributed
by students who are interested in this
kind of work.
If enough interest is shown by the
students the magazine section will be
continued by the Plainsman. It is be­lieved
that there are quite a number
of students on the campus who would
appreciate such an outlet for their
writings and who would like to exer­cise
their talent in this manner.
James Buntin, who is editing the
section, is to be commended for his ef­forts
in collecting and editing the ma­terial.
As it is impossible for him to
be acquainted with all the literary tal­ent
on the campus, all students who
are interested in writing this sort of
material should communicate with
him as soon as possible.
Airplane Factory Strikes
Feared By England
The Royal Empire fears that quar­rels
among union men may cause
strikes in airplane factories — an
event which must be avoided at any
cost by England during these un­certain
times.
Labor strikes always cause delay
and inconvenience, but in this in­stance,
it means slowing up Britain's
feverish effort to get ready for war.
Such strikes would probably bring
welcome orders for planes to Ameri­can
factories; nevertheless, it is only
fair to remind British workers, quar­reling
among themselves, that when
foreign bombs begin dropping on
their families, any strike against na­tional
safety will seem to have been
foolish in retrospect.
Recently, England awoke to the
realization that the countries of
Europe had begun an unprecedented
militarization policy. The awaking
very suddenly burst England's bubble
of security, and in the rush to prepare
strikes have been threatening.
Mankind's Greatest Enemy
Is Fear Dr. Crile Says
Mankind's greatest enemy is fear.
Fear is at the root of a high propor­tion
of the ills of the human body, re­ports
the famous experimental sur­geon,
Dr. George W. Crile, of Cleve­land,
after years of intensive study
into the causes of heart disease, with
its accompanying histories of high
blood pressure and sudden death and
all the other ailments which take such
a heavy toll of lives in America every
year. It is customary to attribute
these and other diseases of civiliza­tion
to the nervous tension in which
a large part of the inhabitants of the
modern world continually live and
move. But the cause of nervous ten­sion,
Dr. Crile believes, is primarily
fear.
It has long been known to physiolo­gists
that physical fear stimulates the
action of the heart and causes tension
of the blood vessels. It is Dr. Crile's
belief that the same or similar results
follow the various forms of fear
which we speak of as worry, appre­hension,
jealousy and by other names
all of which simmer down to the fact
that we are afraid of something. This
conclusion may point the way toward
the reduction or elimination of many
of the causes of premature old age,
and of the infirmities due to nervous
disturbances.
Just how fear can be eliminated
from the human subconsciouness Dr.
Crile does not undertake to point out.
There probably is no rule or remedy
of universal application, and it is also
probable that the habit of fearlessness
is one which must be acquired in
youth or childhood. The interesting
conclusion can be drawn, however,
from Dr. Crile's report, that there is
sound foundation for the teachings of
spiritual leaders that the physical and
the spiritual life are inseparable, and
that in the long run it is the spiritual
nature which controls the physical,
body.—Miss. Sentinel.

Forty Years—And Still At It
Personalities—By Son Thomas
Hugh Cameron Is Talented Creative Writer Who Refuses To Submit
Stories To Publishers But Nevertheless Amuses The Readers
Of The Plainsman With His Humor Column
HE'S NOT VERY PRETTY: A rather
tall, raw-boned, gawky fellow that's
Hugh Cameron. But he's a "devil with the
ladies", nevertheless. And why not? He's
got a good job, a swell car, and a right
pleasing personality. To sum it all up, he's
a kind of campus Beau Brummel with all
the trimmings including the Es-quirian
style of dress. THE SCHOLAR:
Hugh graduated from Auburn in the year
. . . . I don't know what with a degree in . .
. . I don't know that, either, and doubt if he
knows himself. The above statement is to
indicate that he does not strike the average
person as being much of a scholar; but we
may have to revamp our opinion of the man,
because it is a known fact that he is abso­lutely
BRILLIANT along certain
lines.
'TALENTED: Among other talents it
•
would be only fair to mention Cameron's
natural aptitude for creative writing. Lay­ing
all jokes aside, he has shown remark­able
ability in this line. It is said that he
has written scores of short stories and cast
them aside because they didn't sound so
good after the second reading. He should
be urged to submit a few of these cast-offs,
to some publishing company; because, any
man with his talents, which are completely
obvious, should do something about it. Some
of his other writings include dissertations
on such subjects as girls, the Auburn foot­ball
team, and beer.
COHORT: His chief crony is none other
than the second best shiek in town, "Jim"
Roberts. They're seen together all the time
just a couple of lads out to en­joy
a little good, clean fun. Their char­acteristic
salutation to acquaintances is a
long drawn-out ooooooyeaaaah. So, if you
don't see them coming, you can hear them.
AS A COLUMNIST he turns out good
material. It's no secret now that he writes
THUNDERATIONS as his extremely
homely mug appears at the beginning of the
column. "Gum" is always well received by
all Plainsman readers as a witty feature of
the sheet. But he pronounces elite
E-Light. That's excuse enough to tar and
feather him. Another grievance we have
against him is the fact that he doesn't like
Horace Heidt . . . . . . . . proving that he's
not much of a» music lover. He takes rare
pleasure in raking damn yankee Wallace,
last year's editor, over the coals. On this
point, I find that, at last, Cameron and I
can agree on something. George Quinney is
another of Cameron's favorite victims . . .
. . but George is good for a laugh any time.
BUT, BENEATH IT ALL his
jokes, his countless attempts to appear as a
rattle-brained idiot, and his abhorrence of
Horace Heidt, Hugh Cameron, critic, fore­caster,
playboy, writer, and postman is a
pretty sincere fellow who will do anything
possible for his friends.
On Other Campuses — By The Wanderer
FREEDOM: The mayor of the city where
the University of Illinois is located recently
issued a statement to the effect that all the
gambling establishments here had been clos­ed.
Shortly after the mayor had made pub­lic
his statement, the Daily Mini printed a
story written by one of its own staff mem­bers
telling of his own experiences in a
horse race betting dive.
Not very long after the story came out,
the managing editor of the paper was
threatened with a grand jury indictment be­cause
of his absolute refusal to disclose the
name of the reporter who wrote the story.
However, no serious consequences have come
about yet and it is expected that the editor
will not be indicted.
HUMAN PIG: They almost had to use a
pulmotor on a Pomona College sophomore
who tried to drink six malteds in twenty
minutes. At fifth down and three-fourths to
go, the malted halted the guzzler.
MAYBE IT WAS CUPID: A male stu­dent
at a northern university was passing
by close to the women's athletic field. An
arrow zipped through the air and struck
him forcefully on the breast pocket. He now
displays a badly dented tobacco can and
swears to always roll his own.
YOUR MONEY'S WORTH: The poor
men of this world are continually being
fleeced. At Syracuse University a student
may sit with his date only on the condition
that he pay a ten per cent state amusement
tax.
The Daily Bruin asked a pertinent ques­tion:
"What would you suggest as an in­vention
for the betterment of civilization."
The following answers were received:
A clock with half a bell on it, so that it
only wakes one person at a time.
Lubricated peanut butter that doesn't
stick to the roof of the mouth.
Textbooks without print for those who
can't read.
A revolving goldfish bowl for tired fish.
EVERY STUDENT seeking entrance to
any college or university in China must be
able to project into his mouth, using chop­sticks,
ten peas without missing a shot.
On the first day of fishing, Seymour Tech
declares a school holiday for everyone. They
must have better fishing than we have down
here.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Editor, The Auburn Plainsman
Dear Sir,
This is an appeal to the students of
Auburn concerning an existing condition
that should be rectified—that is the unso­licited
aid they are giving the Auburn Fire
Department when a fire breaks out in the
city. First, let me assure them that their
efforts are highly appreciated.
Insurance companies will not pay for a
single damaged article if they know that
fire fighters other than the regular organi­zation
helped in fighting the blaze. If it
had not been for the "helping hands" lent
by students last year, L. Z. Thrasher would
have collected much more insurance than he
received when his furniture store burngd. I
could cite numerous other examples of where
students cost merchants and townspeople
exorbitant sums of money.
Thus, the basis of our plea is that, here­after
the students observe city ordinances
by refraining from:
Entering a burning building unless called
on by the Fire Department for assistance.
Jumping on the fire truck when an alarm
sounds, and following the truck to the fire
(There is an ordinance to the effect that all
moving vehicles should pull over to the curb
and come to a stop when an alarm sounds).
Hoping that students will cooperate in the
future, we remain,
Very truly yours,
Junior Chamber of Commerce.
Editor, The Auburn Plainsman,
.Dear Sir:
In view of the fact that the University
of Alabama's Glee Club is coming to Au­burn
for a concert November 11, I should
like to make a few comments because it is
more than a mere entertainment.
I am quite sure that any number of glee
clubs could have been obtained, but the
fact that the University's Glee Club was
invited and accepted marks the resumption
of friendly relations between the two finest
schools in Alabama.
The underlying cause for the restricted
relationship seems to be in politics, and

WHICH EVER one of you gals is elect­ed
Miss Auburn, don't go around snooting
me, I get my picture in the paper twice a
week, and yours is
just in the Glomerata
once a year.
AM LOOKING for­ward
to Max Wel-den's
Lambda Chi
dance this coming
Friday night, and
looking forward to
Andy Elliot's trying
to get me in that tux; I don't believe he
knows any more about the things than I
do. .
It is very cold now, going out to the
well on the back porch in one's flap-tailed
night gown. It doesn't take a very clever
wind to get all within one. Shall be so
very glad when I am able to talk some­one
into marrying me. I don't believe
one's wife in these modern times would
permit one to wear such a thing.
I can hear the protest now: "But, my
love, suppose the house caught on fire and
you had to run out with that thing on?
We would be ruined socially."
DAMN SOCIALLY. One's ancestors
fought the red-skins in wind-jamming
nightgowns, and neighbor Brown, four
miles down the holler, did the same, and
nobody was ruined socially. Imagine fight­ing
an Indian in a silk "Nightie". No self-respecting
Indian would stoop to draw a
bow against a clinging little nightie-wightie,
shimmering sweetly in the moon-beams.
IF IT MEANS anything to any of my
correspondents: I wear a wind-jamming,
full-sailed, nightgown, and woolen socks to
bed, open every window in sight and pull
the cover over my head.
If any of you Henry Gradys want to
have a hand of bridge, and cry about your
girl making the game with someone else,
come on down to see us Bob Fultons Sat­urday
night. Will listen with all sympathy,
and keep you from spending your money
late-dating someone else's girl.
CAB CALLOWAY'S hollering from the
Cotton Club Wednesday night reminded me
of Ann Dexter's dragging me off this Sum­mer
to Montgomery to hear him. And
then three weeks later, with the cotton-topped
Bill Collins in Fayetteville, hearing
him again.
The dance in Montgomery was for the
college set of the Alabama State College
in Montgomery, but the N.C. dance was
for the regular "Cullard Folks". Razors
and Cawn whiskey were swinging, and Cab
was "trucking". Have never seen anything
quite like it. Little (in spots) Martha
Ray's hollering is about the only thing
that will, beat seeing Cab Calloway danc­ing
back and forth in front of a micro­phone,
hollering at the top of his voice.-
READ THE CHAPTER on Dorothy Par­ker
in Woolcott's "While Rome Burns" first
time you have a chance. A chapter like
that will beat your date's gossip several
miles.
From what I hear, what Dorothy Parker
said about a Yale prom, applys equally as
well here, even when no Prom is going on.
And what the same lady did to coax
visitors into her office might help some of
you less fortunate girls to rate a few
dates.
Then go and read her book of poetry,
"Death and Taxes" and find a different
lady entirely. 'Tis people like her, and
their books and poetry, that enable us to
put up with the remainder of the people.
ONE OF MY darktown friends was talk­ing
with me the other day about marriage.
He had this to say about the thing: "When
you goes to marry", he said, "marry a
big woman so's she will fill up the house.
Then you won't have to buy no furniture."
That's a very good idea. But I want
one who will fit in between the kitchen
table and the cook-stove. It'd be a small
matter to fill up the remainder of the
house with burnt toast and scorched beans.
MY IDEA: Marry a girl with hair the
color of strawberry short-cake, complexion
the color of peaches and cream, eyes as
blue as a blue berry pie, and freckles as
big and brown as nice browned biscuits.
You'd never get hungry just looking at
such a girl.
No fair making faces at the Agnes
Scotts, Saturday.
we have very little control over this ele­ment.
However, since the students, by
mutual agreement, are entering into friend­ly
relations once more, both sides will have
to concede that the feud of the '90's is
over; that this is 1936 and that we are
not barbarians.
Congratulations, University of Alabama
Glee Club!
Congratulations, Auburn!
Yours sincerely,
"Pen".

By JACK TODD
When a yellowjacket meets a tiger
what happens? That's what thousands
are wondering about and the answer
won't be revealed until after Satur­day's
game between Tech and Auburn
is completed. What with the Engi­neers'
injuries and the Plainsmen's
cross country jaunt the outcome is
kinda doubtful. According to the re-
• cords hung up by both elevens this
year, the winner's laurels should go to
Coach Meagher's charges we
hope!

Wilton Kilgore's knee injury is
enough cause to pull down one's hair
and shed salty tears. Rilgore has been
mentioned as 'a candidate for All-
American honors by the Christy Walsh
Syndicate and his chances are apt to
be spoiled because of a coupla pulled
tendons. So run the moods of Dame
Fortune.

Dutch Kpnemann, ace Tech half­back,
is also unable to see action be­cause
of a physical disability. His
trouble consists of a coupla swollen
tonsils. A sad state of affairs—for
Tech.

The cross country team meets Tech
Saturday morning. From all appear­ances
the Auburn harriers will not
feel the pride which comes with vic­tory.
Nevertheless, credit is due these

brave those wintry blasts with your
bare knees hanging out.

Alabama, Auburn, Georgia
Tech Up T o This Week-End
Louisiana State University tops the
Southeastern Conference standing, be­ing
undefeated and untied in confer­ence
competition. A 6-6 tie with the
University of Texas is the only mar
on the L. S. U. record thus far.
Alabama, Auburn, Georgia Tech,
and Tulane are all undefeated within
the conference but have been tied. The
race for the conference title will prob­ably
be.cut down to three teams after
Saturday when Alabama meets Tu­lane,
and Auburn's Tigers take on
Georgia Tech.
With Tech losing last week to Clem-son,
and Auburn recovering from de­feat
by Santa Clara, both the Tiger's
and the Yellow Jackets will be primed
for tomorrow's game.
After a scare last week by little
Louisiana Tech, Tulane will throw its
full strength against Alabama, and
the game should offer plenty in the
way of excitement. L. S. U. battles
Mississippi State who has suffered de­feat
from Alabama only. Georgia
takes on the weak Florida eleven,
while Vanderbilt plays Sewanee. Ken­tucky,

Billy Hitchcock
Former Staunton Military
Academy Star With All-
State Prep Honors
Billy Hitchcock came to Auburn in
1934 after a brilliant year at Staunton
Military Academy, where he won All-
State Prep School honors as a quarter­back
and was also outstanding in
basketball and baseball.
Since playing with the Tigers, Billy
has thrilled the stands many a time
with his spectacular broken field run­ning,
especially when returning punts.
He was considered by many to be All-
Southern as a sophomore and it is gen­erally
believed that he will scale even
greater heights in athletic fame be­fore
he graduates than did his brother,
Jimmie, who was All-American in 1932
and is now Auburn's backfield mentor.
In addition to his fine work as a
halfback, he is an honor student in the
classroom and a popular figure on the
campus.

squad will be in good shape.
According to Bob Johnston, manager
of the squad, the University of. Florida
is the first school under consideration
for a meet. If the Gators are signed
up, the meet will be in Gainsville some­time

Cross Country Team Goes To Atlanta
For Meet With Georgia Tech Harriers
Auburn's cross country team en­trains
today for Atlanta where they
will meet the Georgia Tech harriers,
Southeastern Conference Champions,
on Saturday morning at 10:30 o'clock.
Coach Hutsell will take six men on
the trip with Captain Von Chandler
heading the group. Two time trials
have been run with Von Chandler win­ning
both and the others finishing in
the order named: Monsey Gresham,
Red Dawson, Leonard Jacobs, Robert
Wilson, and J. H. Harper. Two other
men, Elmer Bissell and Jack Steppe,
" The Auburn 1936-37 Rifle Team will
hold its tryouts this week and next
week. All of those wishing to t ry out
may do so between the hours of one
and six on Tuesday, Wednesday, and
Thursday. Each man will turn in
three prone and one standing score.
Approximately twenty of the highest
scorers will be placed on the regular
squad. In order to become eligible for
a letter a man must obtain an average
score of 360 out of 400 for the season
and place among the first ten in at
least one of the shoulder-to-shoulder
matches.
It is expected that in addition to
the Corps Area, Hearst Trophy, and
the National R. O. T. C. matches
about ten postal matches with high
ranking units throughout the country
will be held along with two or three
shoulder-to-shoulder matches with
teams from the southeast. It is hoped
that fifteen men will be able to make
the trips to Tuscaloosa and to Gaines­ville.
Beginners will have an unusually
good opportunity to make the squad
this year due to a large number of
losses through graduation. The regu­lar
squad will begin work on Decem­ber

Auburn Tigers on Grant Field tomor­row.
Both elevens will be working un­der

by defeating all contenders.
The course to be run will cover over

to.

hands of Clemson last Saturday and
are seeking to be avenged tomorrow.
Captain Mit Fitzsimmons will start
at guard although he is suffering from
an injured shoulder and an abscessed
ear. Dutch Konemann, ace halfback,
is in the hospital with tonsilitis and
will not be able to start against the
Plainsmen. Quarterbacks Lawrence
Hays and Fletcher Sims are still on
the ailing list and Red Collins, block­ing
back, is a doubtful starter due to
his slow recovery from a knee injury.
All in all, the Tech eleven has been
weakened considerably by the injury
jinx with a flock of second stringers
due to face Auburn.
Coach Alexander has not been put­ting
the players through much scrim­mage
work, but has devoted most of
the time to dummy drill sessions
against Auburn formations. The
Jacket mentor has refrained from con­tact
work in order to give the least in­jured
gridders a chance to recover fully
and to prevent further mishaps.
The Yellow Jackets and the Tigers
have met on the gridiron 39 times in
the past 44 years. Of the first 18
games Auburn lost 1 and in the re­maining
21 Tech dropped 5.
To date, Auburn has chalked up 21
victories and has compiled 549 points
while Tech has won 15, compiling a
total of 432 points. Three of the con­tests
resulted in ties. The most lop­sided
score since the beginning of the
rivalry in. 1892 was in 1904 when
Auburn ran roughshod over the Tech
team to win 96-0.
The Engineers are out to put the
Tigers on the short end of the score
tomorrow in return for the drubbing
they took last year to the tune of 33-7.

After dining at the Knickerbocker

Croskey wandered to the Brown Der­by,
a favorite dining spot of the play­ers
in the land of make-believe where
they saw Cary Grant having lunch.
Karam went over to his table, and
Grant asked Karam to join him. Be­fore
Karam left him he had not only
gotten his autograph in which he
welcomed Auburn to the coast, but
succeeded in getting the fork Grant
ate lunch with as a memoir of their
meeting. Grant looks very much the
same off the screen as he does on

less than three feet in diameter, made
up of thousands of smaller cables.
The bridge which is eight and one-half
miles long, has been under con­struction

It tunnels through Goat Island and
is 220 feet above the water. It is a

Tau Beta Pi Initiates
Engineering Students
Fifteen men were initiated into Tau
Beta Pi, national honorary engineer­ing
fraternity, yesterday at 4 o'clock
and feted with a banquet at the Bap­tist
Church at 6:30 o'clock.
The men initiated were: Robert
Spruiell, Ralph Searcy, Louie Rice,
Herman Gauggel, Harry Eiland,
Frank Triolo, Brandt Woodward, Mal­colm
Orr, R. H. Wood, Glenn Middle^
brooks, L. E. Cox, W. L. Denham, W.
B. Stelzenmuller, D. A. York, and Roy
Dodge.
At the banquet following the initia­tion,
Dr. Doner gave a word of wel­come
to the new members and con­tinued
his speech on subjects of in­terest
to an engineering group of this
type.
The purpose of the organization is
"to mark in a fitting manner those
who have conferred honor on their
Alma Mater by a high grade of schol­arship
as undergraduates, or by their
attainments as alumni; and to foster
a spirit of liberal culture in the engi­neering
schools of America."
Three juniors, Stelzenmuller, York,
and Dodge, were elected for the first
time to this senior honorary society
for the purpose of being trained to
carry on the society after the seniors
have graduated.
Delta Sigma Pi Cup
Awarded To Wittel
William D. Wittel has been awarded
the Freshman Scholarship Cup of Del­ta
Sigma Pi for having attained the
highest scholastic average in the
School of Business Administration
during his freshman year. Wittel
averaged 92 during his first year in
college. %
This cup is awarded every year by
Delta Sigma Pi, honorary business
fraternity, to the sophomore business
student who, during his freshman year,
averaged the highest in his class in
Business Administration. The cup
will be presented at the initiation ban­quet
next Tuesday night, November
10.
Last year the cup was awarded to
Dan Smith, who made the same aver­age
as Wittel made this year.
The initiation for the newly tapped
men will be next Tuesday evening at
6:00 P. M. in .Broun Hall, followed by
the initiation banquet.
The officers of Delta Sigma Pi this
year are: President, Milton D. Roth;
Vice President, Mills Thornton; Secre­tary,
Fred Schomberg; and Treasurer,
Frank Conner, Jr.

"Student Musicians in Schools and
Colleges" was the subject which Mr.
Reid Lancaster of Montgomery dis­cussed
at the meeting of the fourth
district of the State Federation of
Music Clubs yesterday, November 5,

Mr. J. Clarendon McClure, "of Mo­bile,
State president of Music Club's,
gave advice as to how the club could
be improved. Mr. McClure said that
one of the most important effects of
unity could be an improvement in
radio programs.
The program of the afternoon,
which followed a luncheon at the Bap­tist
Church, included organ selection
by Mrs. Christine Tidwell of Opelika,
violin selections by Mrs. Glenn Stew­art,
and vocal solos by Miss Ruth

Hall No. 1 defeated the Watkins
House gang in a close game, 12 to 6.
November 8 is the deadline for the
first round games in the independent
group. As this date approaches the
*
different teams are beginning to ar­range
their matches. Those left to
play in the first round are: Shepherd
Chateau vs. the F. F. A. team, Brown
Hall ys. Hornsby Hall, Wittel Dormi­tory,
vs. Allgood House, Ag. Club vs.
Stephens House, and Hamilton House
Vs. Alumni Hall No. 2. Joe Sarver
has urged that these teams complete
their play in order to begin the second
round as soon as possible.
Lopez Mantoux, leader of the fra­ternity
group, has not received the
results from any games that might
have been played in his group. A few
of these games, however, are to be
played over the week-end.
Play in both groups has been slowed
up to a great extent by mid-semester
exams. With this stumbling block out
of the way, play should go forward
mtfch more rapidly.
Cavaliers To Play
For Montevallo Hop
The Auburn Cavaliers, one of
Auburn's outstanding dance orches­tras,
have been selected to play for
the three main hops at Montevallo this
year. While the Cavaliers were play­ing
for the mid-terms at the Marion
Institute they were informed by wire
that they were unanimously selected
by the girl's school to furnish the
music for their dances. The ever
growing popularity of this orchestra is
evidenced by the fact that they were
booked for this all-important dance
set.
The first dance is the Sophomore
Hop which will be held on November
1st. The second is the Junior Prom
on January 30 and the final dance will
be the Senior Prom on May 22.
According to Jimmy Hooper, man­ager
of the Cavaliers, the band has an
extensive tour planned for the Thanks­giving
holidays which will be culmi­nated
by playing for the "A" Club
dance in Montgomery immediately af­ter
the Auburn-Florida game Novem­ber
28.

It is possible that Bobbie Blake will
start in Hitchcock's place. Blake has
been showing some top notch football
in recent games and is rapidly earn­ing
a name for himself in the football
world. Then, too, Blake's punting
ability will be needed in the event that
Kilgore is unable to start. Joel Eaves
is a sure starter at end with the rest
of the varsity line-up remaining the
same as in the last two games with
the exception of the changes mention­ed
before.

E URE... and of finer
texture than most anything
that touches your lips...
We all agree on this . . . cigarette
paper is important. For Chesterfield
we use the best paper that we can
buy. It is called Champagne Ciga­rette
Paper. It is made from the soft,
silky fibre of the flax plant. It is
washed over and over in clear, spark­ling
water.
A lot of the pleasure you get in
smoking Chesterfields is due to our
using the right kind of cigarette pa­per.
Chesterfield paper is pure, and
it burns without taste or odor.
MXemember this . . . two things make the
smoking quality of a cigarette—the tobaccos and the
paper. The Champagne cigarette paper on Chester­fields
is tested over and over for purity, for the right
burning quality. Another reason why Chesterfield wins.
