S., Auburn '16, has been elected Assistant Secre-tary of the Wm. S. Merrell Company, Cincinnati, the oldest manufacturers of pharmaceutical preparations in the United States and one of the largest in' the world. Dr. Billing joined the technical staff of the Wm. S. Merrell Company some three years ago as~ a biochemist. He was soon put in charge of "the Biochemical Laboratory and is now Chief Chemist of the establishment, having general supervision of the chemical and research work. After leaving Auburn Dr. Billing took a post-graduate course at Columbia University before taking up his work at Cincinnati. He later pursued his studies in the University of Cincinnati in connection with his work in the Merrell Laboratories. In 1922 he' married Miss Marland Laverne| and has a delightful home in Hyde Park, one of the fashionable suburbs of Cincinnati, the ruling genious of which is familiarly known by "his friends as "Josh Junior" who is now a little over a year old. A. o. In. t. On Monday night, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers met in the Engineering Auditorium for its regular meeting. Although there were only a few out, the program was given. Dean Rupert Taylor was the whole program and a good one it was. The speaker gave a very interesting lecture, interspersed with quotations from lectures given by some of the most prominent engineers and educators of the present day. The next meeting will be soon after the beginning of the second semester. At that time a committee will report on the question of quality points. All Mechanicals come o.ut and join us, we need you I Freshman Literary Society News The Freshman Literary Society held its regular meeting Monday night, January 12th. The program was one of interest and it was well prepared. All the members who were on the program seemed to have put quite a bit of work on their part. Miss Story read several of the poems of Alfred Noyes, which were enjoyed very much. Mr. Edgar Root added to the program quite a bit with his presentation of Thackeray's Diary and the Christmas Bookman. Mr. Green-tree gave quite an interesting talk, the subject of which was "When is a citizen not a citizen?" He brought several facts before the members that were known by very few of them if any at all. Mr. Nor-ris gave a splendid talk on a topic of current history, The Ex-Kaiser's Denial of War Guilt. Mr. Staton told us something about the Honor System and explained its workings and what it meant. Taken as a whole the program was very good. On account of exams there will not be a meeting next week. There will be one just after exams, how-ver, and all members are requested to be present as there will be an election of officers for the next term. ~~ ROSETIME ENJOYED BY LARGE CROWD LAST TUES. NIGHT Proceeds Will Go For Scholarship Fund The presentation, on Tuesday night, of "Rosetime," the musical comedy which has been looked forward to with such eagerness, was in every way a justification of the anticipation. Its production was pronounced one of the greatest of Auburn's dramatic successes. The leading role, Rose, was tak-en by Mrs. Freddie Scott Lipscomb, whose lovely voice delighted the audience. Pat Moulton was the loving and affectionate lover who adored her through poverty and fame and at last brought her back to the little rose covered cottage when the roses were in bloom. The part of Pa Perkins was attractively interpreted by Prof. Baughman, who is so successful in parts of that kind. Playing opposite him was Miss Mary Martin in the role of Ma Perkins, which she carried off to perfection.--. The story was woven about the arrival of an amusing and interesting movie troupe, who engaged Rose and led her to fame and fortune. J, Dillingham Jones, the director of the company, was none other than "Dizzy" Pruitt, who was so successful in this part that (Continued on Page 6) FRESHMAN MEMBER STUDENT COUNCIL TAKES OFFICE By Or. Dowell Dr. Spright Dowell, as President of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute, on last Tuesday installed the Freshman Representative of the Men's Student Council. The man upon whom this honor was conferred is W. M. Burns, of Dothan, Ala., formerly of Montgomery. The oath was administered by Dr. Dowell as follows: "1 do solemnly swear that I will to the best of my ability enforce the provisions of the Constitution of the Men's Student Council; that I will make a thorough investigation of all breaches of discipline, or other violations of a gentleman's code of honor, brought to the attention of the Student Council; that I will give to each cause a careful hearing and.render a conscientious and unbiased decision; and that I will faithfully discharge all other duties of office* as a member of the Men's Student Councilj s© help me God.". In administering the oath Dr. Dowell si»id,' "No recognition you will receive while at Auburn can be of more genuine worth or bespeak more fitness; I congratulate you on being selected to this honor and charge you to the faithful performance of its duties." CHAPTER "SPIKED SHOE" GRANTED TO AUBURN TRACKMEN Through the efforts of Joe L. -Young, a member of the varsity W. M. BllfflS IS Installed I1 ™* team and a well known Ag. man on the campus, and "Bobbie" R. L. Locke, captain of the track team,, there has been established at Auburn a chapter of the National Collegiate Society of Spiked Shoe. This honor society is composed of track and cross country men and had its origin at Columbia University. While the society is comparatively, a young one it is now spreading - rapidly throughout the larger" northern colleges, plans being under way now to install societies at Rutgers, M. I. T., Johns Hopkins and others. .Until Joe saw the need of such an organization here at Auburn it was a local society of the track and cross-country men at Columbia, but being interested in the Auburn track team and feeling that in this manner he could bring honor and credit to his institution and teammates, he secured the cooperation and approval of the officers of. the society at Columbia together with the track letter men at Auburn, for the encouragement of this becoming a national organization, and today it is receiving most decided interest in some of the larger Northern colleges. At the present national headquarters have not been definitely established but the proposition is to be submitted to Mr. Gustavus T. Kirby, the big gun behind the Intercollegiate A. A. A. A. Should the proposition meet with the approval of Mr. Kirby national headquarters will be established and new chapters will be installed in proper style. The Auburn chapter intends to take every step toward establishing a chapter in many of the^ Southern colleges. In the meantime any track or cross country men interested in establishing a chapter at their institution, it will be well -for them to correspond with the president of the Auburn society, Marius Marquis, or Joe L. Young, secretary-treasurer, for they have the future of the society at heart and •will be more than pleased to get in touch with any interested trackmen of other institutions. DR.

RESOLUTIONS Whereas Ernest Lewe Flowers was a member of the Junior Class at the Alabama Polytechnic Institute during the session 1924-25; ~ Whereas while at home during the Christmas holidays his life came to an untimely end; Whereas he was a most popular member of his class and much beloved by his fellow students; Therefore, we, the members of the Junior Class, offer the following resolutions: Resolved: First, that, the Junior Class has suffered a severe loss in the passing away of Ernest Lewe Flowers. Second, that, we extend to the members of his family and friends our deepest sympathy and commit them to the care and keeping of an alwise Heavenly Father who alone can give comfort in such an hour of bereavement. Third* that, a copy of these resolutions be sent to his family and a copy be published in both his home paper and the Plainsman. C. B. BURGOYNE, L. SPINKS, O. F. WISE, Committee. On January 8 at the regular Con-voation for upper classmen, the usual custom of bringing some outstanding speaker from the outside to talk to the students was turned aside, and Dean Petrie, one of the best known men of Auburn, honored the audience with a talk on The World Court. Dr. Petrie opened his talk by stating that the period near the Xmas holidays was fitted for such a subject since Christmas day wasv the day upon which the Prince of Peace was born. He treated the subject in somewhat the following manner: At the close of the reeent great World War there was much rejoicing throughout the world as a result of the arrival of peace once more. From that time there~ has been a renewed vigor by the""- most influential men to find some method whereby Peace could be • assured to the World at all times in the future. In spite of this and other things there has been hardly ~s v\onth in the six years -sine**", the Armistice was signed in which some, war has_not been in progress. Even at the present time some believe that another world war is not far off. If such a war occurs, it will be more destructive than the recent one. Weapons will be morel deadly and many new inventions for the destruction -bl mankind will make their debut. After such a war there would be more crippled, total disabled and diseased men than in any past period.' Industry would experience ruins never before foreseen, and there would be a general epidemic of crime, suffering and disorder^ Some are doubtful as to whether civilization could survive if such should happen. Dr. Petrie then asked if there was any method by which war could be prevented. He quoted some as saying that preparedness is the only method. Of course every nation should be prepared for such an emergency, but war will not be prevented by such methods alone. One of Mr. Hardings noblest acts was when he called the Conference to consider the problems of the-Pacific Qcean and disarmament A second such conference will no doubt be called in the near future to consider the question of further disarmament and to limit such preparations as should, be limited. But all this will not prevent war, perhaps if all the nations should,act as gentlemen settling their difficulties by arbitration and dealing with a nation acting as a "roughneck," in the proper manner, then peace would be a certainty. Suggestions for such a movement has been tried in establish ing-the League of Nations. The Laag-** ue should be a piece of machinery whereby difficulties between nations could be cleared before resorting to war. It should also stop aggressive nations when they make war on nations not to blame. The League is not perfect, but it is now working,, and most nations of the world are members.

At first we did not notice 'them" much/but like bobbed hair, they grew more and more popular until we had to sit up and take notice. We now. take pleasure in presenting our first ^ Cross Word Puzzle. As students seldom have anything to do previous to term exams, we believe that our puzzle will be indulged in by the majority | of our rea'ders. As you work this puzzle, think of the lesson that can be drawn from it. Had you ever thought that your estimation in the eyes of your friends was determined largely by the words which you use? If a person always uses words that fit, he is usually looked on with much more respect than one who is forever saying things that do not fit. Use the cross word puzzle as an example and try to use words that will fit vertically as well as horizontally. There is a vertical, as well as a horizontal side to every question. Give as much thought to your words as possible before speaking them. If you" feel that you are the vertical type, consider that words that will please you may not fit the horizontal. Religious Education The spread of Religious Education in the colleges and other institutions of the country within the past few years has been phenomenal. This is a natural consequence of the growing recognition of the value of such elements of culture and enlightenment for any career, and particularly those who have a vital interest in the moral and religious welfare of the community, state, and nation, of which they are a part. Although courses of this nature are not in the regular curricula of the college at the present, students have the opportunity of taking several courses this year as electives. The following courses in Religious Education will be available for juniors and seniors as electives during the second semester: 102 Two parts—(a) Principles of Religious Education. This is really a course in education in religion and morals, having as the chief subjects for study, first, the theory, second the child, third, the institutions, and fourth, pTc^ecjJ,c. (b) Organization and Admin-stration of the Sunday School. This is a practical application of the principles of the preceding course as found in the modern [organizations and administration [of the Sunday School in every de- Itail. 103—The Teachings of Jesus. The purpose of this course is to live the principal elements incor-porated in Christianity. It includes a study of -the Palestinian background, the origin of Judasim, the Jewish parties, the religious social and political conditions of the Jews at the time of Christ's birth; the teachings of Jesus on the various topics, and his attitude toward the worship, customs, etc., of his day, as presented in the records of the New Testament. 10(5—History of the Hebrews. The purpose "of this course is to trace the historical development of the Hebrew people in the several aspects of their life from the beginning of their existence to the final destruction of all vestiges of a Jewish state in the early part of the second century A. D. Since this work is not included in the regular schedule of courses it is my desire to adjust the schedule of these courses to the satisfaction of as many as possible of those who wish to take the work. However, I should like to avoid the necessity of dividing the classes if it can thus be arranged. The following is a tentative schedule which will be adhered to as much as possible, but I feel sure that we can arrange a satisfactory time for those students who have a partial conflict with other courses. 102—Mon., Wed., and Fri. 3-4 P. M. 103—Tues. 3-4, Thurs. 3-5 P. M. 106—Tues. 1-3, Thurs. 2-3 P. M. Present room assignment 304 Main Building. A. B. Davidson, Instructor, [ FACULTY WHO'S WHO j Miss Agnes Ellen Harris Miss Harris believes that she is different from men, in that she is so modest about giving information. Statistics prove otherwise, however, as the "embellishments" in the following, come from other sources. The life of this gracious woman began, as she said, a long time ago "in a little house that is still living." This little house is locatel at Cedartown, Georgia. Her journey to fame was soon started, as with Cicero, Rome (Ga.) was the scene of her first triumph when she graduated from the high school located there. In search of other fields to conquer, she arrived at Milledge-ville, Georgia State College for Women. After two more years she went to Oread Institute at Worces-ter, Massachusetts, where she continued to delve into the mysteries of so called domestic science. After due pressure had been brought to bear by "those who know best" she returned to the Georgia State College for Women for graduation in 1902. Not content with this meagre education some of her summers were spent at summer schools in Knoxville and Columbia University until she received her B. S. from the latter in 1911. Since then work for a M. S. degree has been very nearly completed at the same institution. She made her debut into the cold, cold world in a country school near Milledgeville and continued on her rise on the ladder of fame, rung by rung, through the public schools of Madison arid. Macon, Georgia, the "Agricultural school at Douglas, and head of the Home Economics department at the Florida State College for Women . at Tallahassee. From 1909 through the next ten years she devoted her time and energy to the development and organization of the Extension work there. Strange to say, her original inspiration and outlook in that work came through her co-worker here, Mr. L. N. Duncan. A leader and a worker by nature, she became the leading light in improvement, education, and development from all standpoints in the rural districts, her work taking the form of the introduction of Home Demonstration in that section. A year's leave of absence from the aforementioned work during the war period in the War Office of Extension, United States• department of Agriculture, 1)egan her National career. Except for an interval of one year when she was state supervisor of Home Economics in the State Department of Education of Texas, her services were with the U. S. Department of Agriculture as Field Agent. At this most important post her duties consisted of traveling over the nation. Auburn then became the lucky possessor. Miss Harris has been doomed it seems, from time immemorial to worship at the shrine of Vesta, the goddess of the home. To keep the fires burning brightly and wholesomely in the homes of Alabama is her ambition. She is a mighty force in aiding them to grow brighter and more beautifully so that they may outshine all others. From her position as Dean of Women at the Alabama Polytechnic Institute and Home Demonstration Agent of Alabama she is able to reach down and help the struggling* student and also to reach out and draw in those more or less fortunate. Honors come to those who strive to help. Miss Harris has long been an active member of the National Home Economics Association and was recently on the committee for reorganizing that body. She is now chairman of the committees on Living Costs in the League of Women Voters and Rural Life of the Alabama Parent-Teachers Association. She has been Chairman of the Home Economics Division of the Association of Land Grant colleges and on committees of the National Federation of Women's Clubs. "These are," by her own statement, "not worthwhile." We wait impatiently for the work she considers worthwhile, for it will be accomplished as she is not merely a dreamer, but a worker and a doer.

A tramcar had just started when two women) rushing from opposite sides of the street to greet each other, met right in the middle of the track. There they stopped and began to talk. The car stopped, too, but the women did not appear to realize that it was there. Finally, the driver showed that he had, a saving sense of humor. Leaning over the front of the car, he enquired: "Pardon me, ladies, but shall I get you a couple of chairs?" Father was always losing something or other. His slippers could never be found, his pipe, he declared, was never where he put it down, the newspaper had a way of flying off of its own accord. On Wednesday afternoon he lost a book he was reading, and this made him very cross.- He iamped around turning the whole house upside down, and at last found it in its proper place—the bookshelf. "At last, here it is!" he exclaimed. "I wonder why it is that one always finds a thing in the last place in which one hunts?" "I expect, dad, it's because when we find a thing we stop hunting for it," remarked his young son quietly. A. I. E. E. HEARS AUBURN ALUMNUS The local branch of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers held their regular meeting on January 7. After a few remarks by the chairman, Mr. R. A. Betts, .the speaker was introduced by Mr. R. J. Cooper. The speaker was Mr. G. A. Wright, an alumnus of Auburn and also a former resident of the Village. At present he is a salesman of traction equipment for the West-inghouse Electric and Manufacturing Company. What the Westinghouse is and does, was the subject of the speech. The speaker began by giving a brief history of the company. He told of how it had risen until today it employs 50,000 people. Next he spoke of the company's products and of their distribution over the world. That the Westinghouse Company was the first to establish a radio broadcast station with a regular schedule, was brought out. In speaking of the organization Mr. Wright divided the company into four main sections, namely, engineering, manufacturing, sales and- service. Each section of course had sub-divisions. The speaker told how each of these sections functions. As a conclusion, he hoped that many of the Auburn students would get positions - with his company. . Mr. Wright's speech was of interest to all and especially to seniors who hope to work for this company. A. S. 0. E.

W Harbin was chdseu Vi- c- President. Herbert Spencer is the new Secretary and Treasurer, while W. D. Horton was made Plainsman reporter. Mr. Carter takes the reigns of office from A. L. Scott, who served efficiently during the past semester. The program committees have not been appointed as yet, but the names of the members will be made public before the time of the next meeting. Prior to the election, several interesting talksywere made, the one which held the audience most enthralled being Mr. Yancey's discourse on "The Aid of Civil Engineering to the Bootlegging Industry." Every member paid strictest attention to the talk and Mr. Yancey is to be congratulated on his choice of a subject. The program was completed by other short talks by the various members on topics ranging from swamp draining to map making. The next meeting will be called on Monday, Jan. 26, and it is hoped that a goodly assemblage will be on hand. 0 Chemist of Skill, investigate!

Crane provides another important means of lowering manufacturing costs in its complete line of factory plumbing fixtures. In many ways this sanitary equipment can' be used to bring up efficiency. Toilet rooms and lavatories of ample capacity, placed close to the "population centers" of the departments they serve, save many wasted minutes. Enough drinking foun^ins, convenient to machines and benches, increase production by shortening the time taken off by workmen in quenching their thirst. Because Crane plumbing materials stand up under ordinary, careless usage, they •perpetuate these savings of time. Their upkeep cost is low, their life much longer than could be expected of fixtures made to sell on price alone. When you plan plumbing installations, a Crane specialist at the nearest Crane Branch or Sales Office will be glad to help you select the correct type of fixture for each particular requirement. One hundred two Crane branches and offices bring this service within easy reach of every, industrial plant in the United States and Canada. CRAN GENERAL OFFICES: CRANE BUILDING, 838 S.

The Tigers have taken a very praiseworthy stand on the matter, and it would give all of the Villagers untold joy to see the Jackets go down into defeat, but all hands realize that wreaking revenge on the visitors will be a' rather large assignment for the Plainsmen. Even though defeated last Tuesday night, the Tigers looked good, and, with additional development, should have a topnotch aggregation. In ability to hold the ball seems to be their greatest trouble just now, although there are some flaws in the defense which must be remedied before tournament time. The succession of strong teams - which have been met by the Tigers since the beginning of the season has helped to give the younger members of the squad their baptism of fire, and already they are showing muchly improved basketball. Long, Hall, and Evans have all made rapid strides since the beginning of the season, and are be-ginnin" to fit in with Gray and( the two McKinney boys in the formation of a real machine. BilLMcKinney continued to show his flashy article of basketball in the Fort Benning game, although a bad arm hindered his shooting . somewhat. Gray also put up a crackerjack performance and showed that he has developed into a steady, reliable defensive man. Wallace McKinney put up his usual game, which is the same as .saying that he was all over the floor and that he broke up the enemy attacks frequently and did some good shooting on his own account. The Plainsmen are awaiting the arrival of the Tech team with some trepidation, especially since they have learned that Mr. Wycoff has turned his attention to the cage game. Wycoff has left some painful memories among the Auburn ranks and everybody is wondering if he is going to act as harshly in the cage game as he has acted in other lines. Tiger supporters still remember last Thanksgiving Day, when the ! ' SPORTS feM.— CAPT. PICK JOINS HOLE-IN-ONE CLUB Engineer Officer Wields Wicked Mashie Captain L. A. Pick, erstwhile V. P. I. gridiron luminary, automatically elected himself member of the famous Hole-in-One Club, composed of those who wield a wicked stick, and also, it is whispered, a trusty horse-shoe. The couj) de golf came about last week when the popular captain was resting from his arduous duties as guide, philosopher, and friend to the Engineer R. 0. T. C. students by shooting a friendly match with one "Pea" Green. The match had progressed evenly and it looked as if a dead heat was on hand. Green teed off with a corking good drive almost to his namesake, and looked to have a good chance for a two or three at most. Then up stepped our hero with his trusty mashie, addressed the tiny pill and swung. Straight as the proverbial arrow dad the pellet wend its way to\vard the green, and on its arrival bounced and rolled into the cup without further delay. Mr. Green, on seeing his good work gone for naught, is reported tq have sunk peacefully and quietly into an adjoining ditch, while the captain registered joy,' peace, happiness, and amazement in turn, or possibly vice-versa. It is reported that Captain Pick is seeking a championship match with Mr. Jones, but up to a late hour last night this rumor had. not been confirmed. mighty Doug defeated the Plainsmen practically single-handed. And they are not forgetful of his last trip to the Village, when as a member of the Freshman baseball team, he manufactured a couple of clouts that are still talked about. Just what will be the outcome of the game, is of course, still an un-certainity. The Tigers, on the season record, are doped to be on the losing end by a rather substantial, margin but itJ is about time for the dope bucket to be pushed over. The Jackets can look for plenty of opposition when they strike the Village, the only matter perplexing the Plainsmen at present being whether or not the opposition will be sufficient to calm down the much—feared Tornado. Speaking Of Sports Well, the new year was started off right, at least as far as home games are concerned. The first -1925 game in Auburn was won by a comfortable margin. Encorel Whatever is said about the Coeds they surely cannot be accused of failing to put plenty of pep into their performances. The Oglethorpe game was a wild one, and there probably ^won't be another such roughhouse down at the Gym until the Junior Prom comes. Captain Pick has demonstrated that 'the mashie is at least as mighty as the sword. [ Albany Y, who barely managed to beat Auburn by the margin of one point, gave Georgia a much more substantial defeat. Now, if comparative scores only meant anything. "Pea" Green had better stick to 'football or else pick his opponents a bit more carefully. We have with us this week-end the Yellow Jackets of Tech. • /-One way to win a basketball me would be to make the other forward, and the center pledge themselves to make a field goal every time Bill McKinney drops ona through the basket. Then what scores we would havel If that system had been used during the Tulane series, the Tigers would have amassed a grand total of eighty-one points, besides some possible markers from the guards. Coach Wilbur Hutsell has been elected a member of the advisory board of the basketball rules committee of the N. I. A. A. This appointment comes as a recognition of Mr. Hutsell as an authority on the cage game, and congratulations are in order.

Not only is it new to Auburn but to the entire South, for nowhere throughout its extent is there to be found another such organization. So Auburn can now boast of the only organization of its kind in the South and the second oldest chapter in the world. To christen the initial meeting of the society, held a short time before Xmas, officers for the coming year were elected. With the new year and the new society come new men as officers who probably never before have made their debut in such roles. For the first president of the society and the one upon whom the future progress of the Auburn society largely depends was elected Mr. Marius de Shay Marquis, the most consistent scorer on the track team', having-never failed to place in a single meet whether conference or dual within the three years that he has been a member of the team. Duke, as he is sometimes known, is the kind of man that lets his actions speak louder than his words and it is just such a man that the society needs for its leader during the period of its infancy. Duke represents Auburn in the high and low hurdles, high jump, and the pole vault and is the most dependable scorer Coach Hutsell has in his aggregation. For vice-president and the right hand man of the president was elected W. B. "Noisy" Grisham, and a better man could not have been found,, for he is a duplicate of the type found in the president, and not only have his actions spoken for him in football, to where he was mentioned for All-Southern, but in track also, for he is yet to be defeated by an Auburn man when it comes to- heaving the weights. As secretary and treasurer, the society electe'd Joe L. Young, a man who has spent one season hurdling fences for Auburn both high and low and while he has not crowned himself with the glories obtained by the others of the society, he has the interests of the society at heart and we can only wait to see what the future holds for him in the way of laurels. Aside from the officers of the society there are others who are as worthy of mention, and interested in the future of the organization. Those completing the role of the society are Martin, W. R. the sprint and middle distance king, Nelson, L. L. the flash demon of the Tiger team, and White, M. V., otherwise known as "Hot Shot" for he truly visitor demands that he be allowed to take his shot without being disturbed by an outburst of braying. Fortunately the percentage of offenders is small, but of course their actions show up. Actions of loudmouthed minorities generally do. COTTON STATES TOURNAMENT HERE FEB.19-21 Prep Stars To Perforin In Local Gym Plans have been completed for the Fourth Annual Cotton States Basketball Tournament, to be held on February 19-21, inclusive. This is an invitation meet for interscho-lastic cage teams from the leading Southern schools. The holding of this meet was inaugurated in 1922, it being at that time, the only tournament of its kind in the South. At first the only states represented were Georgia and, Alabama, but last year Tennessee sent in two entries, Chattanooga Hi, and Montgomery Bell, of Nashville. Two Atlanta teams captured the honors at the first Cotton States Meet, Tech High winning with University High the runner-up. At the following meeting, Georgia teams again led the field, with Georgia Military Academy in the van, and University High again occupying the runner-up position. Last year, an Alabama team finally manged to get in the money, the flashy Simpson Tech sweeping everything before them, with the Georgia Military Academy coming second after a hard fight. Interest in the tournament has been increasing steadily since its inauguration, and as a result it has been decided to limit the number of contesting teams to sixteen. While-it would be very desirable to have every team making application down for the tourney, the length of time required for the eliminations would keep the players from their classes for several days. Sixten is the ideal number of teams for a short meet, it having been decided that three days would be the maximum time devoted to the tourney. Entry blanks are now being mailed to the leading prep schoo cage teams of the South. Out of the applications that are returned, the sixteen leading learns are selected, and invitations are mailed to these sixteen aggregations. The selections are based on the all around work gf the teams and con- (Continued on Page 6) is a warm one with the pill. The purposes of the society are three-fold* namely: 1. To encourage track activities on the campus. 2. To encourage interest in the College among high school track teams. 3. To act as an honor society for those whose major athletic interest is track. The requirements for membership are: 1. Candidate must be voted on by the entire society and must be elected unanimously. 2. Candidate must either be a Junior or a letter man. ^ 3. Candidate must have a general average of at least 75 percent for the time he is in college prior to period of eligibility for membership. 4. Candidate must be a participant in worthy college activities and must fill the usual requirements for character and personality. COEDS GET SWEET REVENGE Oglethorpe Defeated 25-7 Saturday Even like the lowly worm, if we can be pardoned for using the simile, did the militant Co-eds turn last Saturday evening. Shortly before the Yuletide holidays, the denizens of the Zoo sojourned to Atlanta and returned smarting from a 22-18 defeat. Then the fair members of the Oglethorpe quintette came down, to the Plains to repeat their triumph, and, were forced to depart with a lone field goal and a few fouls to their credit, while the Plainswomen were garnering 25 points. " To Mary Tamplin must go the honors of the evening. The Auburn forward shot five goals from every possible angle and also played a brilliant all around game. Buby Powell and Olive Gibbons ably assisted Miss Tamplyn in her goal shooting, g arnering three each, while Captain Libba Young found time to come up the floor once or twice and register for her team. "Big Six" playing stationary guard put up a noble defensive game and. broke through several times and repulsed the enemy with heavy loss. Miss Nichols, of the visitors, who was the big noise in the Atlanta battle, played an excellent game, but was unable to find the basket, except in the matter of shooting fouls. Miss Hollingsworth played a nice game at forward and had the honor of registering the lone Petrel goal. The entire Oglethorpe team, while greatly outclassed, played a hard and courageous game, and kept the fight going until the last minute. "Fight" is an appropriate word, for both teams went at their work viciously and played as \ if the championship of the world and adjoining territories was at stake. In fact, the male members of the audience were quite appalled at the firceness with which the so-called weaker sex went about the business of basketball. Several times the aforementioned male spectators were obliged to turn their heads away when some of the damsels, with shrill war cries, attempted to demolish their opponents. The battle was refereed in fine style by Mr. Bill McKinney, who deserves great credit for risking his life and limb amid the army of battling Co-eds. McKinney awarder the fight to Auburn, saying that the Zooties had won all four rounds. Summary: Oglethorpe (7) Auburn (25) Hollingsworth (3)-F.Tamplin (10) Hatcher F Powell (6) Smith F Drake (1) F.

One Mr. Buck took the leading role in the performance, being ably assisted by Messrs. Smythe, Dabezies, Franz, and McKenna. A perfect rendition was made diffcult by the interference of the Plainsmen, but in spite of difficulties, the Soldiers persisted in singing the "Blues" and in the end, had made the Tiger supporters very blue indeed by administering a 30-27 beating to the Auburnites. At first it appeared that the Plainsmen were going' to register their first victory of the season, as they jumped into an early lead, and, with the game still a young thing, found themselves on 1he long end of a 10-3 score. About this time the Benning players located the basket and began dropping the ball through with distressing rapidity, the count being knotted in a short time. For the entire first half it seem-er that neither side could maintain a comfortable lead. The Tigers showed flashes of real offensive power, but could not sufficiently curtail the activities of the abovementioned Mr. Buck, who went mildly insane and insisted on caging six field goals before he could be stopped. Bill McKinney did the bulk of the Tiger offensive work in the initial period, thp flashy forward playing an excellent floor game, besides caging four beautiful shots. Bill's brother, Captain Wallace, came up from his guard position in order to shoot a couple, while Hall contributed the only other field goal. Evidently firm believers in a quick getaway, the Soldiers caged one almost before the crowd knew the second half had started. Dabezies slapped one to Smythe; "Dutch" tossed it in the Basket; all very simple and easy. After this, however, the scoring did not come very regularly. Unhappily, what scoring was-done was mainly .marked up on the Benning side of the ledger. A furious attack was unleashed by the Soldiers, but they were unable to register as many points as in the first half. Bill Gray was playing a superb game at guard, and generally managed to break up the thrusts. The Tigers, being on the defensive most of the time, were unable to ring up many points for themselves. Several times, to be sure, they did find themselves in temporary possession of the ball, biit Franz, of the Soldier^, who was playing a truly magnificent game, would manage to break up a majority of the Tiger attacks. Fort Benning, in winning the game, showed a powerful combination witl) a really brilliant passing game, and showing good shooting (Continued on Page 6) CAGE MENU' FOR 1925 December 17 '•--'- Mercer,.

Mr. George AU-American "Dutch" Smythe, who seems to be at his best when; playing Auburn, played a brilliant game, while Dabezies and McKenna were performers of no mean ability, the former's style being somewhat cramped by the fact that he committed three fouls in the beginning of the game. Two Rills, McKinney and Gray, were the shining lights for the Tigers. A good fight was put up by the entire team, and they have no reason to feel ashamed of a beating by a team of Renning's caliber. The game was exceptionally fast and hard fought from beginning to end, the visitors making a good impression with their clean and sportsmanlike work.

Long (2) ROSETIME ENJOYED BY LARGE AUDIENCE TUES. NIGHT (Continued from Page 1) he is about to decide to leave college and go on the stage. The French Vamp, Mile. Jacqueline Deauxville, was played by Mrs. John Jackson, who charmed the audience with her winning manner and lovely songs. George Ker-nqdle had a leading and difficult HKractt-r part as the "scenario writer, Percy Peabody, and he threw the audience into gales of laughter with his clever acting. The two leading comedy parts were taken by Miss Margaret Lane, who took the part of Babe Brunette, and "Skeet" Meadows, who was the property man, Props. O'Riley. They had very attractive lines, and performed them well, singing several peppy songs. Dryden Baughman as "Squint" Smith, turned the camera until it was feared his health would be endangered and his wife anct six kids would be left widowed and fatherless. The choruses of eight girls and eight boys were very attractive and made quite a hjt with the appreciative audience. A feature wooden soldier drill was given «J»y the boys. The" girls had seven different changes of costume, all of which were very effective. The butterfly, the vamp, and the heart costumes were especially attractive and served to set off thrf beauty of the girls. Beautiful sets, in the rose garden of the Perkins, and in Hollywood, added to the effectiveness of the production, and made a background for the iovely costumes. The musical hits of the play were: "Home Town Girl," "Rose," "Look for the Silver Lining," and "The Sweetheart of the Screen." The Vamp song and its effective costuming was also received with much applause. a Mrs. Biggin, the president of the Literary Department, and the other officers of the club, expressed themselves as very much pleased with the success of the play and the size of the gate receipts. They declared themselves thoroughly satisfied with the results of the week's work andi wished to express appreciation to all those who spent time and effort on the show. The show was directed by Miss Helen Shelby and was put on by the Wayne P. Sewell Producing Co., of Atlanta, Ga. Mr. Sewell, himself, • and several of the most important coaches were in Auburn for the production and expressed themselves as very much pleased with the talent and interest shown. The proceeds of the play will go mainly to the scholarship fund of the Literary Department of the Women's Club. ed the plan and recommended it, to all nations. There is no direct connection between the two however except that they are working towards the same goal. In the' old Court the members did not meet together but in settling a dispute, the nations involved were allowed to select Judges from the members to settle the questions. The new court meets as one and will act upon the problems of any nation whether a member of the Court or not. The Court desires the U. S. to become a member and lend their moral support and contribute the small share that would be required to finance the court. When the members of the League are choosing the members of the Court, the U. S. would be allowed to have representatives to sit in and take part in the selection I though not members of the League. The problem is, "Do we favor such a plan, and will we become a member of the Court." DR.

S., Auburn '16, has been elected Assistant Secre-tary of the Wm. S. Merrell Company, Cincinnati, the oldest manufacturers of pharmaceutical preparations in the United States and one of the largest in' the world. Dr. Billing joined the technical staff of the Wm. S. Merrell Company some three years ago as~ a biochemist. He was soon put in charge of "the Biochemical Laboratory and is now Chief Chemist of the establishment, having general supervision of the chemical and research work. After leaving Auburn Dr. Billing took a post-graduate course at Columbia University before taking up his work at Cincinnati. He later pursued his studies in the University of Cincinnati in connection with his work in the Merrell Laboratories. In 1922 he' married Miss Marland Laverne| and has a delightful home in Hyde Park, one of the fashionable suburbs of Cincinnati, the ruling genious of which is familiarly known by "his friends as "Josh Junior" who is now a little over a year old. A. o. In. t. On Monday night, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers met in the Engineering Auditorium for its regular meeting. Although there were only a few out, the program was given. Dean Rupert Taylor was the whole program and a good one it was. The speaker gave a very interesting lecture, interspersed with quotations from lectures given by some of the most prominent engineers and educators of the present day. The next meeting will be soon after the beginning of the second semester. At that time a committee will report on the question of quality points. All Mechanicals come o.ut and join us, we need you I Freshman Literary Society News The Freshman Literary Society held its regular meeting Monday night, January 12th. The program was one of interest and it was well prepared. All the members who were on the program seemed to have put quite a bit of work on their part. Miss Story read several of the poems of Alfred Noyes, which were enjoyed very much. Mr. Edgar Root added to the program quite a bit with his presentation of Thackeray's Diary and the Christmas Bookman. Mr. Green-tree gave quite an interesting talk, the subject of which was "When is a citizen not a citizen?" He brought several facts before the members that were known by very few of them if any at all. Mr. Nor-ris gave a splendid talk on a topic of current history, The Ex-Kaiser's Denial of War Guilt. Mr. Staton told us something about the Honor System and explained its workings and what it meant. Taken as a whole the program was very good. On account of exams there will not be a meeting next week. There will be one just after exams, how-ver, and all members are requested to be present as there will be an election of officers for the next term. ~~ ROSETIME ENJOYED BY LARGE CROWD LAST TUES. NIGHT Proceeds Will Go For Scholarship Fund The presentation, on Tuesday night, of "Rosetime," the musical comedy which has been looked forward to with such eagerness, was in every way a justification of the anticipation. Its production was pronounced one of the greatest of Auburn's dramatic successes. The leading role, Rose, was tak-en by Mrs. Freddie Scott Lipscomb, whose lovely voice delighted the audience. Pat Moulton was the loving and affectionate lover who adored her through poverty and fame and at last brought her back to the little rose covered cottage when the roses were in bloom. The part of Pa Perkins was attractively interpreted by Prof. Baughman, who is so successful in parts of that kind. Playing opposite him was Miss Mary Martin in the role of Ma Perkins, which she carried off to perfection.--. The story was woven about the arrival of an amusing and interesting movie troupe, who engaged Rose and led her to fame and fortune. J, Dillingham Jones, the director of the company, was none other than "Dizzy" Pruitt, who was so successful in this part that (Continued on Page 6) FRESHMAN MEMBER STUDENT COUNCIL TAKES OFFICE By Or. Dowell Dr. Spright Dowell, as President of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute, on last Tuesday installed the Freshman Representative of the Men's Student Council. The man upon whom this honor was conferred is W. M. Burns, of Dothan, Ala., formerly of Montgomery. The oath was administered by Dr. Dowell as follows: "1 do solemnly swear that I will to the best of my ability enforce the provisions of the Constitution of the Men's Student Council; that I will make a thorough investigation of all breaches of discipline, or other violations of a gentleman's code of honor, brought to the attention of the Student Council; that I will give to each cause a careful hearing and.render a conscientious and unbiased decision; and that I will faithfully discharge all other duties of office* as a member of the Men's Student Councilj s© help me God.". In administering the oath Dr. Dowell si»id,' "No recognition you will receive while at Auburn can be of more genuine worth or bespeak more fitness; I congratulate you on being selected to this honor and charge you to the faithful performance of its duties." CHAPTER "SPIKED SHOE" GRANTED TO AUBURN TRACKMEN Through the efforts of Joe L. -Young, a member of the varsity W. M. BllfflS IS Installed I1 ™* team and a well known Ag. man on the campus, and "Bobbie" R. L. Locke, captain of the track team,, there has been established at Auburn a chapter of the National Collegiate Society of Spiked Shoe. This honor society is composed of track and cross country men and had its origin at Columbia University. While the society is comparatively, a young one it is now spreading - rapidly throughout the larger" northern colleges, plans being under way now to install societies at Rutgers, M. I. T., Johns Hopkins and others. .Until Joe saw the need of such an organization here at Auburn it was a local society of the track and cross-country men at Columbia, but being interested in the Auburn track team and feeling that in this manner he could bring honor and credit to his institution and teammates, he secured the cooperation and approval of the officers of. the society at Columbia together with the track letter men at Auburn, for the encouragement of this becoming a national organization, and today it is receiving most decided interest in some of the larger Northern colleges. At the present national headquarters have not been definitely established but the proposition is to be submitted to Mr. Gustavus T. Kirby, the big gun behind the Intercollegiate A. A. A. A. Should the proposition meet with the approval of Mr. Kirby national headquarters will be established and new chapters will be installed in proper style. The Auburn chapter intends to take every step toward establishing a chapter in many of the^ Southern colleges. In the meantime any track or cross country men interested in establishing a chapter at their institution, it will be well -for them to correspond with the president of the Auburn society, Marius Marquis, or Joe L. Young, secretary-treasurer, for they have the future of the society at heart and •will be more than pleased to get in touch with any interested trackmen of other institutions. DR.

RESOLUTIONS Whereas Ernest Lewe Flowers was a member of the Junior Class at the Alabama Polytechnic Institute during the session 1924-25; ~ Whereas while at home during the Christmas holidays his life came to an untimely end; Whereas he was a most popular member of his class and much beloved by his fellow students; Therefore, we, the members of the Junior Class, offer the following resolutions: Resolved: First, that, the Junior Class has suffered a severe loss in the passing away of Ernest Lewe Flowers. Second, that, we extend to the members of his family and friends our deepest sympathy and commit them to the care and keeping of an alwise Heavenly Father who alone can give comfort in such an hour of bereavement. Third* that, a copy of these resolutions be sent to his family and a copy be published in both his home paper and the Plainsman. C. B. BURGOYNE, L. SPINKS, O. F. WISE, Committee. On January 8 at the regular Con-voation for upper classmen, the usual custom of bringing some outstanding speaker from the outside to talk to the students was turned aside, and Dean Petrie, one of the best known men of Auburn, honored the audience with a talk on The World Court. Dr. Petrie opened his talk by stating that the period near the Xmas holidays was fitted for such a subject since Christmas day wasv the day upon which the Prince of Peace was born. He treated the subject in somewhat the following manner: At the close of the reeent great World War there was much rejoicing throughout the world as a result of the arrival of peace once more. From that time there~ has been a renewed vigor by the""- most influential men to find some method whereby Peace could be • assured to the World at all times in the future. In spite of this and other things there has been hardly ~s v\onth in the six years -sine**", the Armistice was signed in which some, war has_not been in progress. Even at the present time some believe that another world war is not far off. If such a war occurs, it will be more destructive than the recent one. Weapons will be morel deadly and many new inventions for the destruction -bl mankind will make their debut. After such a war there would be more crippled, total disabled and diseased men than in any past period.' Industry would experience ruins never before foreseen, and there would be a general epidemic of crime, suffering and disorder^ Some are doubtful as to whether civilization could survive if such should happen. Dr. Petrie then asked if there was any method by which war could be prevented. He quoted some as saying that preparedness is the only method. Of course every nation should be prepared for such an emergency, but war will not be prevented by such methods alone. One of Mr. Hardings noblest acts was when he called the Conference to consider the problems of the-Pacific Qcean and disarmament A second such conference will no doubt be called in the near future to consider the question of further disarmament and to limit such preparations as should, be limited. But all this will not prevent war, perhaps if all the nations should,act as gentlemen settling their difficulties by arbitration and dealing with a nation acting as a "roughneck," in the proper manner, then peace would be a certainty. Suggestions for such a movement has been tried in establish ing-the League of Nations. The Laag-** ue should be a piece of machinery whereby difficulties between nations could be cleared before resorting to war. It should also stop aggressive nations when they make war on nations not to blame. The League is not perfect, but it is now working,, and most nations of the world are members.

At first we did not notice 'them" much/but like bobbed hair, they grew more and more popular until we had to sit up and take notice. We now. take pleasure in presenting our first ^ Cross Word Puzzle. As students seldom have anything to do previous to term exams, we believe that our puzzle will be indulged in by the majority | of our rea'ders. As you work this puzzle, think of the lesson that can be drawn from it. Had you ever thought that your estimation in the eyes of your friends was determined largely by the words which you use? If a person always uses words that fit, he is usually looked on with much more respect than one who is forever saying things that do not fit. Use the cross word puzzle as an example and try to use words that will fit vertically as well as horizontally. There is a vertical, as well as a horizontal side to every question. Give as much thought to your words as possible before speaking them. If you" feel that you are the vertical type, consider that words that will please you may not fit the horizontal. Religious Education The spread of Religious Education in the colleges and other institutions of the country within the past few years has been phenomenal. This is a natural consequence of the growing recognition of the value of such elements of culture and enlightenment for any career, and particularly those who have a vital interest in the moral and religious welfare of the community, state, and nation, of which they are a part. Although courses of this nature are not in the regular curricula of the college at the present, students have the opportunity of taking several courses this year as electives. The following courses in Religious Education will be available for juniors and seniors as electives during the second semester: 102 Two parts—(a) Principles of Religious Education. This is really a course in education in religion and morals, having as the chief subjects for study, first, the theory, second the child, third, the institutions, and fourth, pTc^ecjJ,c. (b) Organization and Admin-stration of the Sunday School. This is a practical application of the principles of the preceding course as found in the modern [organizations and administration [of the Sunday School in every de- Itail. 103—The Teachings of Jesus. The purpose of this course is to live the principal elements incor-porated in Christianity. It includes a study of -the Palestinian background, the origin of Judasim, the Jewish parties, the religious social and political conditions of the Jews at the time of Christ's birth; the teachings of Jesus on the various topics, and his attitude toward the worship, customs, etc., of his day, as presented in the records of the New Testament. 10(5—History of the Hebrews. The purpose "of this course is to trace the historical development of the Hebrew people in the several aspects of their life from the beginning of their existence to the final destruction of all vestiges of a Jewish state in the early part of the second century A. D. Since this work is not included in the regular schedule of courses it is my desire to adjust the schedule of these courses to the satisfaction of as many as possible of those who wish to take the work. However, I should like to avoid the necessity of dividing the classes if it can thus be arranged. The following is a tentative schedule which will be adhered to as much as possible, but I feel sure that we can arrange a satisfactory time for those students who have a partial conflict with other courses. 102—Mon., Wed., and Fri. 3-4 P. M. 103—Tues. 3-4, Thurs. 3-5 P. M. 106—Tues. 1-3, Thurs. 2-3 P. M. Present room assignment 304 Main Building. A. B. Davidson, Instructor, [ FACULTY WHO'S WHO j Miss Agnes Ellen Harris Miss Harris believes that she is different from men, in that she is so modest about giving information. Statistics prove otherwise, however, as the "embellishments" in the following, come from other sources. The life of this gracious woman began, as she said, a long time ago "in a little house that is still living." This little house is locatel at Cedartown, Georgia. Her journey to fame was soon started, as with Cicero, Rome (Ga.) was the scene of her first triumph when she graduated from the high school located there. In search of other fields to conquer, she arrived at Milledge-ville, Georgia State College for Women. After two more years she went to Oread Institute at Worces-ter, Massachusetts, where she continued to delve into the mysteries of so called domestic science. After due pressure had been brought to bear by "those who know best" she returned to the Georgia State College for Women for graduation in 1902. Not content with this meagre education some of her summers were spent at summer schools in Knoxville and Columbia University until she received her B. S. from the latter in 1911. Since then work for a M. S. degree has been very nearly completed at the same institution. She made her debut into the cold, cold world in a country school near Milledgeville and continued on her rise on the ladder of fame, rung by rung, through the public schools of Madison arid. Macon, Georgia, the "Agricultural school at Douglas, and head of the Home Economics department at the Florida State College for Women . at Tallahassee. From 1909 through the next ten years she devoted her time and energy to the development and organization of the Extension work there. Strange to say, her original inspiration and outlook in that work came through her co-worker here, Mr. L. N. Duncan. A leader and a worker by nature, she became the leading light in improvement, education, and development from all standpoints in the rural districts, her work taking the form of the introduction of Home Demonstration in that section. A year's leave of absence from the aforementioned work during the war period in the War Office of Extension, United States• department of Agriculture, 1)egan her National career. Except for an interval of one year when she was state supervisor of Home Economics in the State Department of Education of Texas, her services were with the U. S. Department of Agriculture as Field Agent. At this most important post her duties consisted of traveling over the nation. Auburn then became the lucky possessor. Miss Harris has been doomed it seems, from time immemorial to worship at the shrine of Vesta, the goddess of the home. To keep the fires burning brightly and wholesomely in the homes of Alabama is her ambition. She is a mighty force in aiding them to grow brighter and more beautifully so that they may outshine all others. From her position as Dean of Women at the Alabama Polytechnic Institute and Home Demonstration Agent of Alabama she is able to reach down and help the struggling* student and also to reach out and draw in those more or less fortunate. Honors come to those who strive to help. Miss Harris has long been an active member of the National Home Economics Association and was recently on the committee for reorganizing that body. She is now chairman of the committees on Living Costs in the League of Women Voters and Rural Life of the Alabama Parent-Teachers Association. She has been Chairman of the Home Economics Division of the Association of Land Grant colleges and on committees of the National Federation of Women's Clubs. "These are," by her own statement, "not worthwhile." We wait impatiently for the work she considers worthwhile, for it will be accomplished as she is not merely a dreamer, but a worker and a doer.

A tramcar had just started when two women) rushing from opposite sides of the street to greet each other, met right in the middle of the track. There they stopped and began to talk. The car stopped, too, but the women did not appear to realize that it was there. Finally, the driver showed that he had, a saving sense of humor. Leaning over the front of the car, he enquired: "Pardon me, ladies, but shall I get you a couple of chairs?" Father was always losing something or other. His slippers could never be found, his pipe, he declared, was never where he put it down, the newspaper had a way of flying off of its own accord. On Wednesday afternoon he lost a book he was reading, and this made him very cross.- He iamped around turning the whole house upside down, and at last found it in its proper place—the bookshelf. "At last, here it is!" he exclaimed. "I wonder why it is that one always finds a thing in the last place in which one hunts?" "I expect, dad, it's because when we find a thing we stop hunting for it," remarked his young son quietly. A. I. E. E. HEARS AUBURN ALUMNUS The local branch of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers held their regular meeting on January 7. After a few remarks by the chairman, Mr. R. A. Betts, .the speaker was introduced by Mr. R. J. Cooper. The speaker was Mr. G. A. Wright, an alumnus of Auburn and also a former resident of the Village. At present he is a salesman of traction equipment for the West-inghouse Electric and Manufacturing Company. What the Westinghouse is and does, was the subject of the speech. The speaker began by giving a brief history of the company. He told of how it had risen until today it employs 50,000 people. Next he spoke of the company's products and of their distribution over the world. That the Westinghouse Company was the first to establish a radio broadcast station with a regular schedule, was brought out. In speaking of the organization Mr. Wright divided the company into four main sections, namely, engineering, manufacturing, sales and- service. Each section of course had sub-divisions. The speaker told how each of these sections functions. As a conclusion, he hoped that many of the Auburn students would get positions - with his company. . Mr. Wright's speech was of interest to all and especially to seniors who hope to work for this company. A. S. 0. E.

Crane provides another important means of lowering manufacturing costs in its complete line of factory plumbing fixtures. In many ways this sanitary equipment can' be used to bring up efficiency. Toilet rooms and lavatories of ample capacity, placed close to the "population centers" of the departments they serve, save many wasted minutes. Enough drinking foun^ins, convenient to machines and benches, increase production by shortening the time taken off by workmen in quenching their thirst. Because Crane plumbing materials stand up under ordinary, careless usage, they •perpetuate these savings of time. Their upkeep cost is low, their life much longer than could be expected of fixtures made to sell on price alone. When you plan plumbing installations, a Crane specialist at the nearest Crane Branch or Sales Office will be glad to help you select the correct type of fixture for each particular requirement. One hundred two Crane branches and offices bring this service within easy reach of every, industrial plant in the United States and Canada. CRAN GENERAL OFFICES: CRANE BUILDING, 838 S.

WHITTEI^EY, Jr. \ SHOES, CLOTHES, HABERDASHERS BEST VALUES fl [ALABAMA THE PLAjHjIjAII TIGERS AND TECH TO CLASH SATURDAY • i Jackets Bringing Down A Powerful Aggregation Smarting from the five successive slaps administered by various cage teams, the Tigers are awaiting the arrival of the Yellow Jackets of Georgia Tech, on whom the Plainsmen expect to wreak the revenge for past indignities. The Tigers have taken a very praiseworthy stand on the matter, and it would give all of the Villagers untold joy to see the Jackets go down into defeat, but all hands realize that wreaking revenge on the visitors will be a' rather large assignment for the Plainsmen. Even though defeated last Tuesday night, the Tigers looked good, and, with additional development, should have a topnotch aggregation. In ability to hold the ball seems to be their greatest trouble just now, although there are some flaws in the defense which must be remedied before tournament time. The succession of strong teams - which have been met by the Tigers since the beginning of the season has helped to give the younger members of the squad their baptism of fire, and already they are showing muchly improved basketball. Long, Hall, and Evans have all made rapid strides since the beginning of the season, and are be-ginnin" to fit in with Gray and( the two McKinney boys in the formation of a real machine. BilLMcKinney continued to show his flashy article of basketball in the Fort Benning game, although a bad arm hindered his shooting . somewhat. Gray also put up a crackerjack performance and showed that he has developed into a steady, reliable defensive man. Wallace McKinney put up his usual game, which is the same as .saying that he was all over the floor and that he broke up the enemy attacks frequently and did some good shooting on his own account. The Plainsmen are awaiting the arrival of the Tech team with some trepidation, especially since they have learned that Mr. Wycoff has turned his attention to the cage game. Wycoff has left some painful memories among the Auburn ranks and everybody is wondering if he is going to act as harshly in the cage game as he has acted in other lines. Tiger supporters still remember last Thanksgiving Day, when the ! ' SPORTS feM.— CAPT. PICK JOINS HOLE-IN-ONE CLUB Engineer Officer Wields Wicked Mashie Captain L. A. Pick, erstwhile V. P. I. gridiron luminary, automatically elected himself member of the famous Hole-in-One Club, composed of those who wield a wicked stick, and also, it is whispered, a trusty horse-shoe. The couj) de golf came about last week when the popular captain was resting from his arduous duties as guide, philosopher, and friend to the Engineer R. 0. T. C. students by shooting a friendly match with one "Pea" Green. The match had progressed evenly and it looked as if a dead heat was on hand. Green teed off with a corking good drive almost to his namesake, and looked to have a good chance for a two or three at most. Then up stepped our hero with his trusty mashie, addressed the tiny pill and swung. Straight as the proverbial arrow dad the pellet wend its way to\vard the green, and on its arrival bounced and rolled into the cup without further delay. Mr. Green, on seeing his good work gone for naught, is reported tq have sunk peacefully and quietly into an adjoining ditch, while the captain registered joy,' peace, happiness, and amazement in turn, or possibly vice-versa. It is reported that Captain Pick is seeking a championship match with Mr. Jones, but up to a late hour last night this rumor had. not been confirmed. mighty Doug defeated the Plainsmen practically single-handed. And they are not forgetful of his last trip to the Village, when as a member of the Freshman baseball team, he manufactured a couple of clouts that are still talked about. Just what will be the outcome of the game, is of course, still an un-certainity. The Tigers, on the season record, are doped to be on the losing end by a rather substantial, margin but itJ is about time for the dope bucket to be pushed over. The Jackets can look for plenty of opposition when they strike the Village, the only matter perplexing the Plainsmen at present being whether or not the opposition will be sufficient to calm down the much—feared Tornado. Speaking Of Sports Well, the new year was started off right, at least as far as home games are concerned. The first -1925 game in Auburn was won by a comfortable margin. Encorel Whatever is said about the Coeds they surely cannot be accused of failing to put plenty of pep into their performances. The Oglethorpe game was a wild one, and there probably ^won't be another such roughhouse down at the Gym until the Junior Prom comes. Captain Pick has demonstrated that 'the mashie is at least as mighty as the sword. [ Albany Y, who barely managed to beat Auburn by the margin of one point, gave Georgia a much more substantial defeat. Now, if comparative scores only meant anything. "Pea" Green had better stick to 'football or else pick his opponents a bit more carefully. We have with us this week-end the Yellow Jackets of Tech. • /-One way to win a basketball me would be to make the other forward, and the center pledge themselves to make a field goal every time Bill McKinney drops ona through the basket. Then what scores we would havel If that system had been used during the Tulane series, the Tigers would have amassed a grand total of eighty-one points, besides some possible markers from the guards. Coach Wilbur Hutsell has been elected a member of the advisory board of the basketball rules committee of the N. I. A. A. This appointment comes as a recognition of Mr. Hutsell as an authority on the cage game, and congratulations are in order.

Not only is it new to Auburn but to the entire South, for nowhere throughout its extent is there to be found another such organization. So Auburn can now boast of the only organization of its kind in the South and the second oldest chapter in the world. To christen the initial meeting of the society, held a short time before Xmas, officers for the coming year were elected. With the new year and the new society come new men as officers who probably never before have made their debut in such roles. For the first president of the society and the one upon whom the future progress of the Auburn society largely depends was elected Mr. Marius de Shay Marquis, the most consistent scorer on the track team', having-never failed to place in a single meet whether conference or dual within the three years that he has been a member of the team. Duke, as he is sometimes known, is the kind of man that lets his actions speak louder than his words and it is just such a man that the society needs for its leader during the period of its infancy. Duke represents Auburn in the high and low hurdles, high jump, and the pole vault and is the most dependable scorer Coach Hutsell has in his aggregation. For vice-president and the right hand man of the president was elected W. B. "Noisy" Grisham, and a better man could not have been found,, for he is a duplicate of the type found in the president, and not only have his actions spoken for him in football, to where he was mentioned for All-Southern, but in track also, for he is yet to be defeated by an Auburn man when it comes to- heaving the weights. As secretary and treasurer, the society electe'd Joe L. Young, a man who has spent one season hurdling fences for Auburn both high and low and while he has not crowned himself with the glories obtained by the others of the society, he has the interests of the society at heart and we can only wait to see what the future holds for him in the way of laurels. Aside from the officers of the society there are others who are as worthy of mention, and interested in the future of the organization. Those completing the role of the society are Martin, W. R. the sprint and middle distance king, Nelson, L. L. the flash demon of the Tiger team, and White, M. V., otherwise known as "Hot Shot" for he truly visitor demands that he be allowed to take his shot without being disturbed by an outburst of braying. Fortunately the percentage of offenders is small, but of course their actions show up. Actions of loudmouthed minorities generally do. COTTON STATES TOURNAMENT HERE FEB.19-21 Prep Stars To Perforin In Local Gym Plans have been completed for the Fourth Annual Cotton States Basketball Tournament, to be held on February 19-21, inclusive. This is an invitation meet for interscho-lastic cage teams from the leading Southern schools. The holding of this meet was inaugurated in 1922, it being at that time, the only tournament of its kind in the South. At first the only states represented were Georgia and, Alabama, but last year Tennessee sent in two entries, Chattanooga Hi, and Montgomery Bell, of Nashville. Two Atlanta teams captured the honors at the first Cotton States Meet, Tech High winning with University High the runner-up. At the following meeting, Georgia teams again led the field, with Georgia Military Academy in the van, and University High again occupying the runner-up position. Last year, an Alabama team finally manged to get in the money, the flashy Simpson Tech sweeping everything before them, with the Georgia Military Academy coming second after a hard fight. Interest in the tournament has been increasing steadily since its inauguration, and as a result it has been decided to limit the number of contesting teams to sixteen. While-it would be very desirable to have every team making application down for the tourney, the length of time required for the eliminations would keep the players from their classes for several days. Sixten is the ideal number of teams for a short meet, it having been decided that three days would be the maximum time devoted to the tourney.

COEDS GET SWEET REVENGE Oglethorpe Defeated 25-7 Saturday Even like the lowly worm, if we can be pardoned for using the simile, did the militant Co-eds turn last Saturday evening. Shortly before the Yuletide holidays, the denizens of the Zoo sojourned to Atlanta and returned smarting from a 22-18 defeat. Then the fair members of the Oglethorpe quintette came down, to the Plains to repeat their triumph, and, were forced to depart with a lone field goal and a few fouls to their credit, while the Plainswomen were garnering 25 points. " To Mary Tamplin must go the honors of the evening. The Auburn forward shot five goals from every possible angle and also played a brilliant all around game. Buby Powell and Olive Gibbons ably assisted Miss Tamplyn in her goal shooting, g arnering three each, while Captain Libba Young found time to come up the floor once or twice and register for her team. "Big Six" playing stationary guard put up a noble defensive game and. broke through several times and repulsed the enemy with heavy loss. Miss Nichols, of the visitors, who was the big noise in the Atlanta battle, played an excellent game, but was unable to find the basket, except in the matter of shooting fouls. Miss Hollingsworth played a nice game at forward and had the honor of registering the lone Petrel goal. The entire Oglethorpe team, while greatly outclassed, played a hard and courageous game, and kept the fight going until the last minute. "Fight" is an appropriate word, for both teams went at their work viciously and played as \ if the championship of the world and adjoining territories was at stake. In fact, the male members of the audience were quite appalled at the firceness with which the so-called weaker sex went about the business of basketball. Several times the aforementioned male spectators were obliged to turn their heads away when some of the damsels, with shrill war cries, attempted to demolish their opponents. The battle was refereed in fine style by Mr. Bill McKinney, who deserves great credit for risking his life and limb amid the army of battling Co-eds. McKinney awarder the fight to Auburn, saying that the Zooties had won all four rounds. Summary: Oglethorpe (7) Auburn (25) Hollingsworth (3)-F.Tamplin (10) Hatcher F Powell (6) Smith F Drake (1) F.

One Mr. Buck took the leading role in the performance, being ably assisted by Messrs. Smythe, Dabezies, Franz, and McKenna. A perfect rendition was made diffcult by the interference of the Plainsmen, but in spite of difficulties, the Soldiers persisted in singing the "Blues" and in the end, had made the Tiger supporters very blue indeed by administering a 30-27 beating to the Auburnites. At first it appeared that the Plainsmen were going' to register their first victory of the season, as they jumped into an early lead, and, with the game still a young thing, found themselves on 1he long end of a 10-3 score. About this time the Benning players located the basket and began dropping the ball through with distressing rapidity, the count being knotted in a short time. For the entire first half it seem-er that neither side could maintain a comfortable lead. The Tigers showed flashes of real offensive power, but could not sufficiently curtail the activities of the abovementioned Mr. Buck, who went mildly insane and insisted on caging six field goals before he could be stopped. Bill McKinney did the bulk of the Tiger offensive work in the initial period, thp flashy forward playing an excellent floor game, besides caging four beautiful shots. Bill's brother, Captain Wallace, came up from his guard position in order to shoot a couple, while Hall contributed the only other field goal. Evidently firm believers in a quick getaway, the Soldiers caged one almost before the crowd knew the second half had started. Dabezies slapped one to Smythe; "Dutch" tossed it in the Basket; all very simple and easy. After this, however, the scoring did not come very regularly. Unhappily, what scoring was-done was mainly .marked up on the Benning side of the ledger. A furious attack was unleashed by the Soldiers, but they were unable to register as many points as in the first half. Bill Gray was playing a superb game at guard, and generally managed to break up the thrusts. The Tigers, being on the defensive most of the time, were unable to ring up many points for themselves. Several times, to be sure, they did find themselves in temporary possession of the ball, biit Franz, of the Soldier^, who was playing a truly magnificent game, would manage to break up a majority of the Tiger attacks. Fort Benning, in winning the game, showed a powerful combination witl) a really brilliant passing game, and showing good shooting (Continued on Page 6) CAGE MENU' FOR 1925 December 17 '•--'- Mercer,.

The entire quintette played topnotch basketball, and it would be difficult to pick an outstanding star. If any one player stood above his teammates, it was Franz, while Ruck was pure arsenic when it came to putting them in from all angles. Mr. George AU-American "Dutch" Smythe, who seems to be at his best when; playing Auburn, played a brilliant game, while Dabezies and McKenna were performers of no mean ability, the former's style being somewhat cramped by the fact that he committed three fouls in the beginning of the game. Two Rills, McKinney and Gray, were the shining lights for the Tigers. A good fight was put up by the entire team, and they have no reason to feel ashamed of a beating by a team of Renning's caliber. The game was exceptionally fast and hard fought from beginning to end, the visitors making a good impression with their clean and sportsmanlike work.

Jacqueline Deauxville, was played by Mrs. John Jackson, who charmed the audience with her winning manner and lovely songs. George Ker-nqdle had a leading and difficult HKractt-r part as the "scenario writer, Percy Peabody, and he threw the audience into gales of laughter with his clever acting. The two leading comedy parts were taken by Miss Margaret Lane, who took the part of Babe Brunette, and "Skeet" Meadows, who was the property man, Props. O'Riley. They had very attractive lines, and performed them well, singing several peppy songs. Dryden Baughman as "Squint" Smith, turned the camera until it was feared his health would be endangered and his wife anct six kids would be left widowed and fatherless. The choruses of eight girls and eight boys were very attractive and made quite a hjt with the appreciative audience. A feature wooden soldier drill was given «J»y the boys. The" girls had seven different changes of costume, all of which were very effective. The butterfly, the vamp, and the heart costumes were especially attractive and served to set off thrf beauty of the girls. Beautiful sets, in the rose garden of the Perkins, and in Hollywood, added to the effectiveness of the production, and made a background for the iovely costumes. The musical hits of the play were: "Home Town Girl," "Rose," "Look for the Silver Lining," and "The Sweetheart of the Screen." The Vamp song and its effective costuming was also received with much applause. a Mrs. Biggin, the president of the Literary Department, and the other officers of the club, expressed themselves as very much pleased with the success of the play and the size of the gate receipts. They declared themselves thoroughly satisfied with the results of the week's work andi wished to express appreciation to all those who spent time and effort on the show. The show was directed by Miss Helen Shelby and was put on by the Wayne P. Sewell Producing Co., of Atlanta, Ga.

There is no direct connection between the two however except that they are working towards the same goal. In the' old Court the members did not meet together but in settling a dispute, the nations involved were allowed to select Judges from the members to settle the questions. The new court meets as one and will act upon the problems of any nation whether a member of the Court or not. The Court desires the U. S. to become a member and lend their moral support and contribute the small share that would be required to finance the court. When the members of the League are choosing the members of the Court, the U. S. would be allowed to have representatives to sit in and take part in the selection I though not members of the League.
