GET CENTRE TO VOL. XXVII. AUBURN, ALABAMA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1923. No. 10 TIGERS READY FOR CENTRE COLONELS Birmingham Prepares For Annual Classic Third Meeting of Teams, Each Having Won One Game While the Tigers and the Colonels have been spending a busy 'week in preparation for their annual struggle, the Birmingham populace have been making preparations for their»biggest game of the year. For the past two years the Auburn-Centre affair has been the Big Show in football for the Magic City and the present season is no exception. The big town is all astir over the coming game and the attendance will reach the high water mark of the year next Saturday. Invading the State's industrial center this week is almost the same team that was defeated by the Tigers last year with the exception of Red Roberts, who was a source of great worry to all Tiger followers for two seasons. Although the Ken-tuckians are minus the services of this powerful specimen of pigskin talent, their experience has largely offset this loss and the Colonels will have approximately the same strength as last November. Coming from Danville is a machine that has a clean record in so far as southern football is concerned. Decisive victories over Kentucky, Clemson and Sewanee places the Colonels around the top of the Dixie heap and it seems to be up" to the Plainsmen to stop the march as they did in '22 or else Moran's cohorts will parade on through unmolested to a championship. The Tigers are the only southern team to take the measure of the Ken-tuckians since Georgia Tech turned the trick in 1920. Each team has a victory to its credit in the two (Continued onTage 6) TULANE GETS TIE Wlffl AUBURN Costly Penalties Responsible for Upset Of Dope A combination of Tulane, several costly penalties and a few breaks gave the Tigers a surprise of a lifetime Saturday when they were held to a tie by the Green "Wave from the Gulf Coast. A six to six tie was far better than a defeat but it was at least a great victory for the Doctors as it was the first time in the history of the meeting of the two teams that the Tigers goal has been crossed by Tulane. Afer the kickoff the gifme got'under way just like an Auburn victory was in sight. The Orange and Blue marched up the field in a short while and immediately started to threaten the ehemies goal. Three of Tulane's kicks were blocked by Ollinger, though one of them was recovered by the. Greenbacks. Shortly after the second period began, Howe, Williams and Ford became invincible and swept up the field for the first touchdown, Ford making the final ten yards on a single buck. Petersen missed bis try for the extra point. Only a short time had elasped before the Plainsmen were again knocking for admittance at the goal of the Greenies. Plunges by Williams, Howe, Petersen and Reese put the ball on the two yard line but a penalty carried it back five yards. With three yards to go and only one try with which to make the distance, Petersen she* a pass to Howe who fell on the last chalk line but the referee could not see it that way and the ball went over to the Green Wave.

He has also proven a valuable asset in the line bucking department.^ . RATS LOSE TO YOUNG 'GATORS Followed by their fumbling jinx, the Auburn "rats"lnvaded the Alligator State and succeeded in losing another game, the Junior "Gators" getting the decision by a 14 to 6 score after the young tigers had led for two full periods. As has been the case in most of their games this season the Freshies lacked.ability to cling to the pigskin and fumbles occurring at crucial moments were entirely too costly for them to retain the early lead, thus the defeat. Despite the loss to the Frosh they played a great game and showed that they possess real strength and recruits from their ranks are sure to strengthen the varsity next season. The Baby Gators were unable to gain through the line and it was not until late in the game that they succeeded in skirting the ends after they had gotten in scoring distance by recovering a fumble. Early in the game Haygood and Hassler made some big gains and placed the ball on the ten yard line after which the battering ram, An-dress ploughed through the Gains-ville bunch for ten yards and a touchdown. Hassler failed to kick goal and so the scoring for the Tigers ceased. Although consider- (Continued on Page 5) CHAS. S. SMITH POPULAR SENIOR DIESJUDDENLY Succumbs After Two Days Illness—One of Best Liked Men In College Thursday, November 8, Charles Samuel Smith, a member of the Senior Mechanical Engineering class, died at the Opelika Infirmary after an illness of only two days. The immediate cause of death was pneumonia following infection, beginning with the extraction of a tooth several weeks previous to bis death. Mr. Smith's death came as a great shock to his many friends everywhere that he was known. The body was sent Friday to his home at La Follette, Tennessee and was accompanied by his father, Samuel Smith, and by two fellow members, of the senior class, J. E. Wiatt and D. M. Chambers. Funeral services were conducted in the Southern Methodist Church of La Follette of which lie was • member. The service waTvery fns-pressive, beautiful talks being made by Mr. Lowery, President of Hiwas-see College where Mr. Smith attended school before coming to Auburn and by Rev. 'Wolf of the Methodist Church. Many tokens of love and esteem were expressed jn the large number of floral offering coming from his friends in Auburn and Tennessee. } Mr. Smith's death cast a deep gloom over-the entire college as he was one of the most popular men on the campus, being loved by all with whom he came in contact. The one thing that characterized him^ above all else was his spirit of service to his fellow men. His first thought at all times was not for himself, but to aid some one else in (Continued on Page 5) I Personnel Of Auburn Football Squad No 1 2 3 6 7 8 9 10 12 13 14 15 17 18 19 21 23 2-1 25 27 28 29 30 Player.

THAT RAT GAME \ anc K hay fc pus There has been some recent talk about arranging to play the Tech "Rats'" on the campus and it it a very pleasing rumor to the Auburn students. Coach Kirk Newell has a good Freshman team and the Auburn students are all anxious to see them meet one of their strongest opponents on the campus. To date all their hard games have been played in Opelika or elsewhere and there are many of the students who have not seen these Freshies in action. It seems that a game of this kind on the campus each year is especially desirable both from the students and players viewpoint as the students become better acquainted and more interested ' in the stars of the future Tigers. Another thing in favor of this is the fact that a schedule with all its hard games on the road is harder to carry through than one w h en the student body is on hand to stay behind-the team . Tlhiils" very evident in the Varsity schedule each year as all the big games are played on the road, so to speak. This makes it much harder to go through the season with record free from reverses. Of course the matter of ,winning is not the only thing to be considered in athletic contests, as some one must always lose, but turn about is fair play both with the team and with the students. Last season the Freshmen met the Tech Frosh in Atlanta and the Auburn "Rats" are due a return game. The students feel that they are due a return game and one would be of much interest, such always being the case if a Tech and Auburn team are the contestants. Should this game be brought to the campus there would probably be more interest shown in than any other game played here this season. It .would go a long way toward offsetting the feeling that the campus schedule was too light this season, and that, itself, is a point worth considering strongly. So why not have this Junior classic on the campus if it is not too late to make the angements? cieties are to the English Department, only it would be, not a place to display one's talent, but a meeting in which the business student might learn from others who have bad outside experience just the things that will be of value to him when he embarks upon his business career. It is planned to bring here as often as possible speakers who have had experience along certain lines and who are well fitted to impart that information to the students here. This scheme is followed by the commercial and business clubs of other institutions and has proved a drawing-card to these particular branches of study. Why could it not prove equally beneficial at Auburn? There is no reason in the world for saying that it would not. On the contrary, everything indicates that such a club is desired by the. students in these courses and that the same benefits which it gives at other colleges would^Jbe given to its members Gladys Copeland, and Gladys McCain, it is evident that much of the new material is equally as good. A good "peppy" scheaule is being worked out for the team and several of the best games will be played on the campus. Mr. Miles is again coaching the Co-eds, and with his instruction and a large source of material to select from, the prospects are fine for a good team this year. Class basket ball is also being encouraged and a great spirit of rivalry and competition is being worked up among the classes. Dr. Cary Speake At V. M. A. Meeting At the recent meeting of the Veterinary Medical Association, Dr. Cary spoke to the members, bis chief point of discussion being how to study veterinary medicine, although several other interesting points were brought out by the speaker. * According to Dr. Cary there is no iron clad rules for the study of Veterinary Medicine and the success of the student depends upon how well he can adapt himself to the surrounding conditions. There arc too many things during the present time to attract a young fellows attention, is the view of the Doctor. Several other points relating to students life and good citizenship after leaving college were stressed by the speaker. ANNUAL BANQUET OF ALPHA PHI EPSILQN ^ NEED FOR AN ECONOMICS CLUB Elsewhere in this issue it is shown that interest in the economics and business subjects which are being taught here has materially increased. This fact is made plain by the larger enrollments in these classes. In other words, this phase of the college curriculum hpsj^toreloped so rapidly and so extensrwy that the Economics Department) here now compares favorably with those of other institutions which have a separate and distinct School of Commerce. This increased interest and popularity has given rise to the need of an Economic 'or Commercial Club here to supplement the work of the classes themselves. It would be to the Department of Econom here. Such an Economics or Commercial Club, whatever one chooses to call it, should be organized at once. And all students who are taking one or more subjects in the Economics Department would be invited and urged to join. No doubt, there would be a hearty response, as the value of such an organization can be clearly seen, and no student who wishes to get the full benefit of his course would hesitate an instant about joining it. It is a thing that Auburn needs and should not attempt to do without. AUBURN ENROLLMENT RED CROSS LARGEST EVER Auburn went over the top in the Red Cross drive this week with a larger subscription list than ever before. A great many . students bought the buttons and enlisted on the Red Cross Roll. The funds are to go to the National Red Cross for its work. It was very fitting that Armistice Day should be celebrated by a drive to perpetuate peace, for this is what the Red Cross wants to do. Five years ago our soldiers stopped fighting but they did not stop suffering for us. Many were permanently injured and disabled. The Red Cross must help care for these. Many Auburn boys fought and died in the Great War. Auburn has shown her appreciation of this by the cooperation and subscription of the Auburn townspeople and stu dents to the Red Cross Drive. CO-EDS BEGIN BASKETBALL PRACTICE On last Monday Night the co-eds began basketball practice, and judg« ing from the number of girls out, their athletic ability and enthusiasm, Auburn -will come out Southern Champions at the end of the season. Although the team lost good mal e , very much what Literary So-1 terial in Kate Floyd, Annie Creel, The Beta chapter of Alpha Phi Epsilon, honorary literary fraternity, met on the evening of Nov. 5, for their fall banquet. Alpha Phi Epsilon was founded April 29, 1918 at a meeting of an intercollegiate literary society composed o f representatives from several Southern colleges. The Wirt literary society of Auburn was one. of these so Auburn had several charter members in Alpha Phi Epsilon. The purpose of the society is to further literary society work in American colleges and make this work as effective as possible. The following members were present at the banquet: W. A. Young, B. P. Livingston, P. S. Tim-berlake, R. A. NUnn, W. E. Glenn, Martin Palmer, Georgia Thomas, and Dr. Spright Dowell who is an honorary member. The following having been previously elected were initiated: T. W. Thaggard, Myrtle Jackson, W. K. Grimley, J. B. Ward, J. D. McKnight, J. R. Wood H. F. Schweckendiek, R. L. Locke, and honorary members Miss Zoe Dobbs and Prof. R. J. Jones Mr. W. A. Young, master of ceremonies, showed himself quite capable by providing suitable subjects for all initiates. He broke the age old rule of women having the last word by making Miss Dobbs speak first on the physchological subject "How to Motivate an Oyster." He also got even with Prof. Jones, his Public Speaking professor, by having him perform one of his own exercises namely, that of speaking while walking around the table with his arms continually in motion Prof. Jones discussed, at length, the momentous question^ ."Which is more important Atmosphere or Hir." The other initiates demonstrated their oratorical ability by speaking on important subjects. Mr. Wood proved himself a modern Demosthenes by explaining that in spite of the fact that the mortar holds the brick in a building together it also holds them apart. Thaggard was assigned the subject of "Love" but he seemed unwilling to disclose any information. Myrtle Jackson's subject was "Why do Seniors come back to take post courses in Animal Nutrition," but she found her subject culminated in Thaggard's. McKinght disclosed his methods of obtaining the large quantities of sugar cane which he consumes. In order not to embarass the initiates by their table etiquette their silver ware was assigned to them by the toast master. They were allowed to eat their fruit cocktail with a dinner fork and their roast chicken with an after dinner coffee spoon. After the initiates had had their say Mr. Glen explained "The Objects and Plans of Alpha Phi Epsilon for 1923-24." This was followed by an inspirational talk by Dr. Dowell in which he stressed the value of literary society work. He said that if it was left to him . Jo select one thing from college activities training in literary societies would be his choice. At the conclusion of Dr. Dowell's speech the formal Initiation took place. • P. S.

JONES, Auburn, Ala. j College Pressing Club BOB FOSTER , The Old Reliable—Twenty Years' Service Y THE PLAINSMAN (ENTATIVE to our notice that Tiieeting of one of the Societies a debate was delated as to whether the ancient Simian proverb "Poeta nascitur non fit" was written originally in the singular or plural. One faction contended that it should be construed "Ifs a boy," while the opposing fuss was in favor of "All Gauls are divided into three teams," they further held that the Helvetii had a section reserved for them at the Attica Poloponnesus game extending from the thirty-cubit stripe to the goal line. Dimitrius, the ancient Roman Foreman, gave as a reason for this the fact that ninety- nine and forty-four hundredths percent of the Helvetian pelota-hounds were at that time suffering from ophthalmia and could better view the conflict from a distance. This point he proved by stating an example at a former game where the Helvetian cheer-leader, Ver-cingetorix, mistook the gridiron for an Ionian macaroni pasture and led the already excited student-body to browze on it. This, you will remember, was the occasion upon which J. Caesar acquired a name for himself and his college by sending the returns of the game over the wire with one hand, typing the correct returns on his Corona (which he afterwards thrice refused) with another, mak-a talk on the evils of Vodka with another, and being the only college professor present with the other. However the ayes had it and the proverb was pronounced plural. Not that it was in the least singular beca'£je the.ayes usually have'it or wfiere"to get it" "But we set out to prove that the aforementioned proverb is singular. Now lookl The word "fit" is derived from the Greek -word "convulsio felinus" meaning the "cat's whiskers." Now if you happened to see a car pitching a fit would you think it quite a bit of all right, what? You jolly well know you would. Of course if you saw one pitching a no-hit no-run game you might think it a bit thick. But if you saw three cats pitching three unaccountable fits, consider, well, now, wouldn't you think it was singular? The neighs ..pardon..the meaows have it. While we are on the subject of tense, we will pause in our mad meanderings to remark that A. R. Semmes, U. S. N., is no longer singular. In fact, we go so far as to conjecture that he may now be plural. We expect the waters of Pensacola Bay to quiver an undulating response in the near future to the roar of the guns on the Admiral's flagship. Flash Covington, the braying colonel, expects to be the cynosure of all eyes in the coming fray. Some one told him he would. Associated Press. Special wire. CURRENT EVENTS AS SHE IS SPOKE The Crown Prince, under the cover of darkness, fled the land of the cheeses and windmills, without leaving so much as a leak in the dike by which to be traced. This is well known to you all. You also know that General Von Ludendorf got loose in a German bar-room for fifty yards, initiating a re volution., a veritable splutsch. Now what you folks always fail to get is the connection between just such important events. Can't you see from these two events that in all probability there is somewhere in Europe a road connecting Holland and Germany I Do you realize the importance of this..what I mean to the future welfare of Dutch cheeses when they are old enough to walk? Sup pose, for instance, that you were a big cheese. (Laughter) This is no laughing matter. Some of you would not even have to suppose. (More laughter) You won't live that long. (Most laughter) Now what chance would you have to exert your noisome influence at a football game if there were no .oads between Auburn and Birmingham which did not carry empties. The point is this The Crown Prince was fed up on cheese. Ludendorf heard of it. He said, "Macht vas Racht." There happened to be an Amer ican in the bar-room at the time, who disapproved of anybody's referring to Sherman so familiarly even if his first name was Mac. He is the one who start ed the sprtdlch in the bar room, whipped Ludy's ten knights and mashed his face- on the bar room floor. Jenny kicked me when we met, Guess I must have got too close in Doc, you crook, who love to get Bones into your jeans, put those in. Say you're sorry mules are bad, Say you're glad you can assist me. Doc, don't say you'd have been glad, If Jenny had missed me. The Scrubs have to do some tall scrubbing nowadays. This is not a pun, Aloysius. Try bathing without soap.

Christian Endeavor Discusses Splendid Subject At the meeting of the Christian LlTtfeavui' on •inSi.'TSv.ua.iJ £VUni2% a fairly large crowd was present, and everyone seemed to manifest deep interest in the subject under discussion. The members made up in enthusiasm for what they lacked in numbers, but this was not unusual, as all of them are vitally interested in the work of the society. Miss Emily Hare was leader for the meeting and she conducted it in her usual impressive manner. The subject under discussion was "Courage." Miss Hare gave a good introduction and then called -for volunteers among those present to rise and express any view that they might hold upon the topic in hand. Several of them responded and brought out points which were well worth listening to . In this manner the subject was held up for thorough consideration and thought from all possible angles, and the result was a much better knowledge of what Courage really means than was previously held by those who heard the discussion. Different members discussed the topics from different viewpoints. Some mentioned examples of courage in fiction, while others gave instances where leaders won out by their courage alone. It was also shown how courage was an absolute necessity in one's daily life, especially that of a college student. Mr. Miles then gave a good talk upon the subject bringing out important points that had escaped the thoughts of preceding speakers. The Christian Endeavor is made up largely of students. Hence, it is as much a student activity as arc the various other organizations on the campus. And a knowledge of what it is doing is and should be of interest to other students, especially those who take part in the work of the young people's societies. A cordial invitation is extended by the Christian Endeavor to all Presbyterian students and all others who so desire to come out and take part in the work of the society Rabbi Newfield Speaks At Convocation Brings Splendid Message To Upper Classmen Rabbi Morris Newfield of Temple Emmanuel, Birmingham, and prominent civic and social service leader, told seven hundred Auburn upper classmen today that we must not allow the world to grow old, to become staid and to settle down, that the youth of the land must be the pathfinders of progress. Dr Newfield was the chief speaker at convocation exercises in Langdon Hall. He was introduced by President Dowell as a Hebrew, unique, 1101 only because of bis work along social welfare lines, but because of the fact that he was at one time a member of the faculty of a Baptist institution, Howard College in Birmingham. .Dr. Newfield declared that not all of the "heresy hunters" of the world could stultify the spirit of youth. He said he would rather see a young man or young woman delve into the realms of the un-known in an effort to achieve something tremendous and fall in the attempt than to see. the young man or woman following out the beaten path and be called an "ordinary common sense person." "The young people of this country," Dr. Newfield said, "will be the-pathfinders in the world's development during the next few generations." The speaker declared that young men and women must have unity and dignity as well as the e^gejaJi?! obligation. He said too/many of our young people are apparently content with the state of medio* crity, accepting rumor for proof and propaganda for fact. He declared that the world owes us nothing, but that we owe the world everything and no person with sense superior to persons of less mentality and less of this world's goods, for these are God given. Rabbi Newfield said that he had been called a Presbyterian Rabbi when the Presbyterian Church, j n Birmingham used the Temple, that he had been termed a Baptist Rabbi when he taught at Howard College and that now he would be very glad to be called the Auburn Rabbi.

The first review of the year was held on Tuesday, November 13th, in honor of Judge Black of Birmingham. Judge Black came to Auburn as a guest of the American Legion, of which he is a member, and spoke to them in their meeting hall and also at convocation in Langdon Hall. The review was considered the best review we have had this year (as it was the first one). The Junior and Senior officers received many compliments on their new uniforms and also in the way in which they handled the review. The only part of the outfit which did not make a snappy appearance was the band and that was because that particular organization has not been provided with uniforms. Outside of this every thing went off in good style and the officers were satisfied with the first showing of the R. 0. T. C. SHE MEANT IT, TOO Finally she spoke: "Oh, I'm so Id." She shivered.

Mr. Hicks brought out very emphatically the reasons why Auburn and other Alabama colleges have been so sadly neglected in the past. Mr. Wallace gave a good talk on "Drinking in Auburn," while Mr. Morgan chose the subject, "Inventions that Should Be Made." Mr. Brown and Mr. Elder also made talks on "Moonshine and Prohibition.'

Dr. Petrie of Virginia Visits His Son in Auburn Dr. G. L. Petrie, father of Dean Petrie and the oldest Presbyterian pastor in point of service in one church in the state of Virginia is a vistor here. Dr. Petrie's father, Dr. G. H. W. Petrie was pastor of the First Presbyterian Church in Montgomery from .1857 to 1885. Dr. Petrie is one of the most distinguished pastors of the Presbyterian Church in Charlottsville, Va., the home of thejjniversity of Virginia. He has been pastor of this church since 1878. Dr. Petrie is also one of the three oldest living graduates of Ogle-thorp University, Atlanta, where he received his doctor's degree last year. He is the author of two popular volumes on "Jacob's Sons" and "Israel's Prophets." Good Debate Held At Websterian Society In spite of the fact that "Lorna Doone" was shown at the movies on Tuesday night, the members of the Websterian Literary Society proved faithful for the attendance showed practically no decrease. The question: "Resolved that the United States should free the Phillipine Islands, guaranteeing complete independence," was well debated. Both sides showed splendid preparation and were presented with foi^™''lness. On the af-firmativ^ M I ^ \ prn^lloy and Real Service Must Be Engineered Many of the men whose names are writ large in engineering history are design engineers; men like Westinghouse, Lamme, Stanley, Hodgkin-son, Tesla, ShaJlenberger. Their inventions have the quality of usefulness, of reliability, of productabUity; which is an involved way, perhaps, of saying that they have the primary requisite of all really great inventions: Serviceability. Engineering history abounds in instances of near-genius that produced no product, and of great developments that never reached completion; and most of these instances are explained by the lack, somewhere in the system, of that ability to give real Service. Service, in a machine or a system, or wherever you find it, is not there by accident but because it was incorporated by men who understood what was required and knew how to provide it. Much more is required of the designer than facility in calculation and mastery of theory. He must have first hand and thorough familiarity with manufacturing operations and with commercial and operating conditions. It takes more than mere ingenuity and inventiveness to design apparatus that will be really serviceable and will "stay put." The design engineer, in the Westinghouse plan, is responsible for the performance of the finished product. He cannot possibly have the proper understanding of operation unless he operates and tests, unless he spends time and thought in investigation and study, not in the laboratory Or drawing room, but right on the operating job. Here, most of his ideas will develop; and here he will see and prepare for all the different things which the product will later have to encounter. Then when he comes to put his creations on paper, his calculations will be necessary and helpful to check the conclusions which he has reached, and this right use of them requires training and a high degree of understanding. This proper balance of the .physical and mathematical conception of things is what constitutes engineering judgement. It should be thoroughly understood that the primary function of the design engineer is the conception and the production of new or improved apparatus, and familiarity with the practical is essential to the proper discharge of this duty. It is this view of designing that makes this branch of Westinghouse engineering so important, so effective, and so productive of real developments. Westinghouse ACHIEVEMENT 8 OPPORTUNITY THE PLAINSMAN ECONOMICS DEPT. SHOWS GREAT INCREASE ENROLLMENT Prof. Lindsey Added To Economics Faculty Statistics show a great increase in the enrollment of "the various courses in the Economics Department over those of 'last year. To date there are four hundred and twenty-four students enrolled in these courses, of which a hundred thirty-seven are in the class in Accounting. The other courses are as follows: Economic Geography, 84; Business Law, 90; Economics, 83; Public Finance, 18; and Economic History, 10. Nearly all of these show a marked increase over last year. It will be noticed also that a new course has been added to this department, namely Economic Geography, and the number enrolled indicates that it is a very popular course. These statistics show very clearly that the students are recognizing the value of the economic subjects and that the department of Economics here, while not a separate and distinct department, is ranking ^with the others, in short, although it is not called one, Auburn really has a School of Commerce or Economics that is growing and becoming more comprehensive each year. The Economics Department is fortunate in having the services this year of a new man, Mr. A. H. Lindsey. Mr. Lindsey took his Bachelor of Science degree at the University of Illinois, and his Master of Science degree at Ames, iowa State. His classes here have a total enrollment of three hundred and twenty-four students, some of course being counted twice. Prof. John B. Clarke is Head Professor of Economics. If-fflay-aiso-lie-notedthat the General Business Course this year has a total pi a hundred and ten students. This shows a great increase over last year's total. Besides these students, however, there are three hundred and fourteen students from the strictly General Course and from other courses who are taking one or more subjects in the Department of Economics. Everything points to the increasing popularity and interest in these subjects. CHAS. S. SMITH, POPULAR SENIOR, DIES SUDDENLY (Continued from Page 1) any way possible, and to see others happy, even at his own expense. He was the fellow who always had a cheerful word when others were blue or despondent. He did not know how to complain, but always looked on the bright side of everything. He was a leader in his class work as well as in all college activities. He was president of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, a first lieutenant in the engineer onit of R. O. T. C., advertising manager of the Plainsman, a member of the Society of American .Military Engineers, a lieutenant in the Friendship Council of the Y. M. C. A., secretary-treasurer of the Forum Class of the Methodist Sunday School and stood near the top of the""class in Mechanical Engineering. Fdllowing is a communication received from Samuel Smith, father of the deceased: Members of the family wish to join me in" expressing deep appreciation for the thoughtfulness and many kind acts of students and faculty members at Auburn both during the illness of Charles and after his death. It is great consolation to us to'know that in his last days our son was among such true friends: Samuel Smith, LaFollette, Tenn. ARMISTICE PROGRAM VERY FORCEFUL Judge Hugo Black of Birmingham Chief Speaker The fifth anniversary of the signing of the armistice, which brought to a close the great World War, was fittingly observed in Auburn Tuesday. A program was ar-rangecTby the American Legion Post in connection with the college and a half holiday was given the student body in order that they might take part in the exercises. The festivities began at 1 o'clock with a parade by the American Legion escorted by the college hand and headed by Captain Em-tnett P. Smith, Chaplain of the immortal 107th Alabama Infantry dur- >ng the war. The parade started at the Legion Hall and ended at Langdon Hall where all the ex-service men marched upon the stage. In a short introductory address Captain Smith introduced Judge Hugo Black, of Birmingham, an ex-service man and ardent supporter of the American Legion, as the speaker. Judge Black delivered a most befitting address in retrospect of those who gave their lives in the great war for humanity. The speaker referred to the fact that every generation up to our present time had been marked by bloody wars for supremacy, but none nave been so great as the one we are today observing--a war of Democracy against Autocracy. "In our own country, the only successful Democracy in the world," Judge Black declared, "something should be done to avoid the continual strife and antagonisms brought on by those who have not been imbued with that true American spirit sufficient for citizenship in a thriving nation. Toi avoid this trouble and -a repetition of that bloody conflict, why not close our country, the so-called melting pot of the world, until those already in it have learned the true principles of Democracy." In closing Judge Black urged preparedness and a greater interest in our country so that the 60,000 Americans now sleeping in France shall not have died in vain. Among those present was Dr. Geo. H. Petrie, of Virginia, father of Dean Petrie. Doctor Petrie was a chaplain in the Confederate war with a record both as a soldier and scholar. Immediately after the exercises held in Langdon Hall a review was staged in honor of the occasion by the members of the Reserve Officers Training Corps under command of Major John E. Hatch. This was the first review of the year and the drill field was surrounded by townspeople and Legionnaires.

Woodruff, Chapin and Kincaide w4re the big factors in annexing yardage from Newell's clan, who were unable to check their sweeping end runs late in the game. The "!oral Staters were especially adept in their handling of forward passes completing thirteen but most of them were for short gains. The winners succeeded in making 13 first downs to 9 for the young Plainsmen, the number, thirteen appearing to be a favorite for the Gators. While Haygood, Andress and Hasler were the big light in offensive play, the work of English and Aiken in the line was outstanding, though all the forwards showed great fight and courage throughout the game. Reports from the Florida camp say that the Junior Tigers are the strongest foe» their team has met thus far this season. All their On Sunday Evening, November 11th, the Churches of Auburn held a union service at the - Methodist Church in celebration of Armistice Day. Rev. E. W. Holmes, who is pastor of the First Baptist Church here and a member of the American Legion delivered the sermon in his usual forceful manner, and once more revived in the hearts of his hearers those thoughts and feelings which should be there upon the anniversary of the signing of the Arm-itice. Mr. Holmes was a chaplain with the American Expeditionary Forces during the War and hence was well fitted for the task of paying tribute to the memory of those who paid the supreme sacrifice and to the valor of those who were so fortunate as to return alive. The subject which the speaker discussed was: Keeping Faith with the Dead. In the course of his sermon Mr. Holmes said, "It is the duty of the American people to keep alive the ideals for which those heroes who died on Flanders fields always stood and for which they fought and gave their lives." He paid glowing tribute to those heroes in* fitting words, and impres. sed those who heard him with the forcefulness of the manner in which he did so. In conclusion, the minister presented the picture of the world when the prophecy of Micah shall have come true—the picture of a world that has ceased to learn war. "And they shall beat their swords into ploughshares and Jheir spears into pruning-hooks"— so runs the prophecy. And the speaker showed what a glorious day it would be for the world when this shall have become fulfilled, and everlasting peace established upon the earth.

Only four new men that started the game in Birmingham last year are now on the Auburn squad and this means that seven new ones will start when the referee gives the starting signal. Practically all of Centre's present regulars were in the lineup against the Plainsmen a year ago and as the Tigers will be facing" such a collection of veterans, the dope will naturally be against them. Petersen, who was placed in the lineup after Gibson's injury, played a wonderful game at quarter last year and was one of the big heroes of the victory. This year will find the peppery little field general getting off at the beginning and he is predicted to,be a thorn on the side of the Colonels for the second time. Both Kubale and Lawrence are being considered as the class of pivot men in Dixie and a real battle is sure to be developed around the center of the line. Reagan was a big factor in turning back the invaders last November and with Sitz holding down the other guard, this section of the line is sure to be well cared for. Pitted against the veteran Chinn and the bulky Skid-more, will be the Tigers' new tackles, Brice and Harkins. So far this season these two have filled the shoes of the two stars who departed, and if they can continue their stride, Centre's gains will be other thsn off tackle. Ollingerwill be holding down the wing made famous by Slick Moulton, a position where he has'feeen fitting in as neatly as a bug's jacket. • Flash Covington seems to be the best bet of the Boys from the Blue Grass section and if this speed demon can be effectively stopped, it seems that the men of the Plains will have a good chance. With Ross Ford back into condition it looks like the Colonel's line is in for some strain because the forwards of both Georgia and Tulane felt it on many occasions. Allen got in for a few minutes when Big Red Roberts was leading his band and will probably get further opportunities this year, while Williams will be getting his first fling at the Pride of Kentucky. Everybody is behind the Tigers who will give them the best they have in store. PROBABLE LINE-UP FOR SATURDAY AUBURN CENTRE Ollinger Lemon Left End Harkins Skidmore Left Tackle Reagan (Capt.)

A sweeping end run on a fake buck produced the final twelve yards for Tulane and the score was knotted, as Flournoy failed in his attempt at a goal. All efforts of the Tigers to score after this proved futile, although they continued to gain much ground in the middle of the field. After an advance that looked like a producer of a score, a forward pass was intercepted and thus the chances of the victory went flitting away. Captain Rip Reagan, Fats Lawrence, Batch Ollinger and Hard Boy Pruitt played a great game in the line and on the ends respectively. Ford, Williams, Petersen and Howe were all right when it came to carrying the ball but too many penalties cut the yardage down.

No. 10 TIGERS READY FOR CENTRE COLONELS Birmingham Prepares For Annual Classic Third Meeting of Teams, Each Having Won One Game While the Tigers and the Colonels have been spending a busy 'week in preparation for their annual struggle, the Birmingham populace have been making preparations for their»biggest game of the year. For the past two years the Auburn-Centre affair has been the Big Show in football for the Magic City and the present season is no exception. The big town is all astir over the coming game and the attendance will reach the high water mark of the year next Saturday. Invading the State's industrial center this week is almost the same team that was defeated by the Tigers last year with the exception of Red Roberts, who was a source of great worry to all Tiger followers for two seasons. Although the Ken-tuckians are minus the services of this powerful specimen of pigskin talent, their experience has largely offset this loss and the Colonels will have approximately the same strength as last November. Coming from Danville is a machine that has a clean record in so far as southern football is concerned. Decisive victories over Kentucky, Clemson and Sewanee places the Colonels around the top of the Dixie heap and it seems to be up" to the Plainsmen to stop the march as they did in '22 or else Moran's cohorts will parade on through unmolested to a championship. The Tigers are the only southern team to take the measure of the Ken-tuckians since Georgia Tech turned the trick in 1920. Each team has a victory to its credit in the two (Continued onTage 6) TULANE GETS TIE Wlffl AUBURN Costly Penalties Responsible for Upset Of Dope A combination of Tulane, several costly penalties and a few breaks gave the Tigers a surprise of a lifetime Saturday when they were held to a tie by the Green "Wave from the Gulf Coast. A six to six tie was far better than a defeat but it was at least a great victory for the Doctors as it was the first time in the history of the meeting of the two teams that the Tigers goal has been crossed by Tulane. Afer the kickoff the gifme got'under way just like an Auburn victory was in sight. The Orange and Blue marched up the field in a short while and immediately started to threaten the ehemies goal. Three of Tulane's kicks were blocked by Ollinger, though one of them was recovered by the. Greenbacks. Shortly after the second period began, Howe, Williams and Ford became invincible and swept up the field for the first touchdown, Ford making the final ten yards on a single buck. Petersen missed bis try for the extra point. Only a short time had elasped before the Plainsmen were again knocking for admittance at the goal of the Greenies. Plunges by Williams, Howe, Petersen and Reese put the ball on the two yard line but a penalty carried it back five yards. With three yards to go and only one try with which to make the distance, Petersen she* a pass to Howe who fell on the last chalk line but the referee could not see it that way and the ball went over to the Green Wave.

He has also proven a valuable asset in the line bucking department.^ . RATS LOSE TO YOUNG 'GATORS Followed by their fumbling jinx, the Auburn "rats"lnvaded the Alligator State and succeeded in losing another game, the Junior "Gators" getting the decision by a 14 to 6 score after the young tigers had led for two full periods. As has been the case in most of their games this season the Freshies lacked.ability to cling to the pigskin and fumbles occurring at crucial moments were entirely too costly for them to retain the early lead, thus the defeat. Despite the loss to the Frosh they played a great game and showed that they possess real strength and recruits from their ranks are sure to strengthen the varsity next season. The Baby Gators were unable to gain through the line and it was not until late in the game that they succeeded in skirting the ends after they had gotten in scoring distance by recovering a fumble. Early in the game Haygood and Hassler made some big gains and placed the ball on the ten yard line after which the battering ram, An-dress ploughed through the Gains-ville bunch for ten yards and a touchdown. Hassler failed to kick goal and so the scoring for the Tigers ceased. Although consider- (Continued on Page 5) CHAS. S. SMITH POPULAR SENIOR DIESJUDDENLY Succumbs After Two Days Illness—One of Best Liked Men In College Thursday, November 8, Charles Samuel Smith, a member of the Senior Mechanical Engineering class, died at the Opelika Infirmary after an illness of only two days. The immediate cause of death was pneumonia following infection, beginning with the extraction of a tooth several weeks previous to bis death. Mr. Smith's death came as a great shock to his many friends everywhere that he was known. The body was sent Friday to his home at La Follette, Tennessee and was accompanied by his father, Samuel Smith, and by two fellow members, of the senior class, J. E. Wiatt and D. M. Chambers. Funeral services were conducted in the Southern Methodist Church of La Follette of which lie was • member. The service waTvery fns-pressive, beautiful talks being made by Mr. Lowery, President of Hiwas-see College where Mr. Smith attended school before coming to Auburn and by Rev. 'Wolf of the Methodist Church. Many tokens of love and esteem were expressed jn the large number of floral offering coming from his friends in Auburn and Tennessee. } Mr. Smith's death cast a deep gloom over-the entire college as he was one of the most popular men on the campus, being loved by all with whom he came in contact. The one thing that characterized him^ above all else was his spirit of service to his fellow men. His first thought at all times was not for himself, but to aid some one else in (Continued on Page 5) I Personnel Of Auburn Football Squad No 1 2 3 6 7 8 9 10 12 13 14 15 17 18 19 21 23 2-1 25 27 28 29 30 Player.

THAT RAT GAME \ anc K hay fc pus There has been some recent talk about arranging to play the Tech "Rats'" on the campus and it it a very pleasing rumor to the Auburn students. Coach Kirk Newell has a good Freshman team and the Auburn students are all anxious to see them meet one of their strongest opponents on the campus. To date all their hard games have been played in Opelika or elsewhere and there are many of the students who have not seen these Freshies in action. It seems that a game of this kind on the campus each year is especially desirable both from the students and players viewpoint as the students become better acquainted and more interested ' in the stars of the future Tigers. Another thing in favor of this is the fact that a schedule with all its hard games on the road is harder to carry through than one w h en the student body is on hand to stay behind-the team . Tlhiils" very evident in the Varsity schedule each year as all the big games are played on the road, so to speak. This makes it much harder to go through the season with record free from reverses. Of course the matter of ,winning is not the only thing to be considered in athletic contests, as some one must always lose, but turn about is fair play both with the team and with the students. Last season the Freshmen met the Tech Frosh in Atlanta and the Auburn "Rats" are due a return game. The students feel that they are due a return game and one would be of much interest, such always being the case if a Tech and Auburn team are the contestants. Should this game be brought to the campus there would probably be more interest shown in than any other game played here this season. It .would go a long way toward offsetting the feeling that the campus schedule was too light this season, and that, itself, is a point worth considering strongly. So why not have this Junior classic on the campus if it is not too late to make the angements? cieties are to the English Department, only it would be, not a place to display one's talent, but a meeting in which the business student might learn from others who have bad outside experience just the things that will be of value to him when he embarks upon his business career. It is planned to bring here as often as possible speakers who have had experience along certain lines and who are well fitted to impart that information to the students here. This scheme is followed by the commercial and business clubs of other institutions and has proved a drawing-card to these particular branches of study. Why could it not prove equally beneficial at Auburn? There is no reason in the world for saying that it would not. On the contrary, everything indicates that such a club is desired by the. students in these courses and that the same benefits which it gives at other colleges would^Jbe given to its members Gladys Copeland, and Gladys McCain, it is evident that much of the new material is equally as good. A good "peppy" scheaule is being worked out for the team and several of the best games will be played on the campus. Mr. Miles is again coaching the Co-eds, and with his instruction and a large source of material to select from, the prospects are fine for a good team this year. Class basket ball is also being encouraged and a great spirit of rivalry and competition is being worked up among the classes. Dr. Cary Speake At V. M. A. Meeting At the recent meeting of the Veterinary Medical Association, Dr. Cary spoke to the members, bis chief point of discussion being how to study veterinary medicine, although several other interesting points were brought out by the speaker. * According to Dr. Cary there is no iron clad rules for the study of Veterinary Medicine and the success of the student depends upon how well he can adapt himself to the surrounding conditions. There arc too many things during the present time to attract a young fellows attention, is the view of the Doctor. Several other points relating to students life and good citizenship after leaving college were stressed by the speaker. ANNUAL BANQUET OF ALPHA PHI EPSILQN ^ NEED FOR AN ECONOMICS CLUB Elsewhere in this issue it is shown that interest in the economics and business subjects which are being taught here has materially increased. This fact is made plain by the larger enrollments in these classes. In other words, this phase of the college curriculum hpsj^toreloped so rapidly and so extensrwy that the Economics Department) here now compares favorably with those of other institutions which have a separate and distinct School of Commerce. This increased interest and popularity has given rise to the need of an Economic 'or Commercial Club here to supplement the work of the classes themselves. It would be to the Department of Econom here. Such an Economics or Commercial Club, whatever one chooses to call it, should be organized at once. And all students who are taking one or more subjects in the Economics Department would be invited and urged to join. No doubt, there would be a hearty response, as the value of such an organization can be clearly seen, and no student who wishes to get the full benefit of his course would hesitate an instant about joining it. It is a thing that Auburn needs and should not attempt to do without. AUBURN ENROLLMENT RED CROSS LARGEST EVER Auburn went over the top in the Red Cross drive this week with a larger subscription list than ever before. A great many . students bought the buttons and enlisted on the Red Cross Roll. The funds are to go to the National Red Cross for its work. It was very fitting that Armistice Day should be celebrated by a drive to perpetuate peace, for this is what the Red Cross wants to do. Five years ago our soldiers stopped fighting but they did not stop suffering for us. Many were permanently injured and disabled. The Red Cross must help care for these. Many Auburn boys fought and died in the Great War. Auburn has shown her appreciation of this by the cooperation and subscription of the Auburn townspeople and stu dents to the Red Cross Drive. CO-EDS BEGIN BASKETBALL PRACTICE On last Monday Night the co-eds began basketball practice, and judg« ing from the number of girls out, their athletic ability and enthusiasm, Auburn -will come out Southern Champions at the end of the season. Although the team lost good mal e , very much what Literary So-1 terial in Kate Floyd, Annie Creel, The Beta chapter of Alpha Phi Epsilon, honorary literary fraternity, met on the evening of Nov. 5, for their fall banquet. Alpha Phi Epsilon was founded April 29, 1918 at a meeting of an intercollegiate literary society composed o f representatives from several Southern colleges. The Wirt literary society of Auburn was one. of these so Auburn had several charter members in Alpha Phi Epsilon. The purpose of the society is to further literary society work in American colleges and make this work as effective as possible. The following members were present at the banquet: W. A. Young, B. P. Livingston, P. S. Tim-berlake, R. A. NUnn, W. E. Glenn, Martin Palmer, Georgia Thomas, and Dr. Spright Dowell who is an honorary member. The following having been previously elected were initiated: T. W. Thaggard, Myrtle Jackson, W. K. Grimley, J. B. Ward, J. D. McKnight, J. R. Wood H. F. Schweckendiek, R. L. Locke, and honorary members Miss Zoe Dobbs and Prof. R. J. Jones Mr. W. A. Young, master of ceremonies, showed himself quite capable by providing suitable subjects for all initiates. He broke the age old rule of women having the last word by making Miss Dobbs speak first on the physchological subject "How to Motivate an Oyster." He also got even with Prof. Jones, his Public Speaking professor, by having him perform one of his own exercises namely, that of speaking while walking around the table with his arms continually in motion Prof. Jones discussed, at length, the momentous question^ ."Which is more important Atmosphere or Hir." The other initiates demonstrated their oratorical ability by speaking on important subjects. Mr. Wood proved himself a modern Demosthenes by explaining that in spite of the fact that the mortar holds the brick in a building together it also holds them apart. Thaggard was assigned the subject of "Love" but he seemed unwilling to disclose any information. Myrtle Jackson's subject was "Why do Seniors come back to take post courses in Animal Nutrition," but she found her subject culminated in Thaggard's. McKinght disclosed his methods of obtaining the large quantities of sugar cane which he consumes. In order not to embarass the initiates by their table etiquette their silver ware was assigned to them by the toast master. They were allowed to eat their fruit cocktail with a dinner fork and their roast chicken with an after dinner coffee spoon. After the initiates had had their say Mr. Glen explained "The Objects and Plans of Alpha Phi Epsilon for 1923-24." This was followed by an inspirational talk by Dr. Dowell in which he stressed the value of literary society work. He said that if it was left to him . Jo select one thing from college activities training in literary societies would be his choice. At the conclusion of Dr. Dowell's speech the formal Initiation took place. • P. S.

JONES, Auburn, Ala. j College Pressing Club BOB FOSTER , The Old Reliable—Twenty Years' Service Y THE PLAINSMAN (ENTATIVE to our notice that Tiieeting of one of the Societies a debate was delated as to whether the ancient Simian proverb "Poeta nascitur non fit" was written originally in the singular or plural. One faction contended that it should be construed "Ifs a boy," while the opposing fuss was in favor of "All Gauls are divided into three teams," they further held that the Helvetii had a section reserved for them at the Attica Poloponnesus game extending from the thirty-cubit stripe to the goal line. Dimitrius, the ancient Roman Foreman, gave as a reason for this the fact that ninety- nine and forty-four hundredths percent of the Helvetian pelota-hounds were at that time suffering from ophthalmia and could better view the conflict from a distance. This point he proved by stating an example at a former game where the Helvetian cheer-leader, Ver-cingetorix, mistook the gridiron for an Ionian macaroni pasture and led the already excited student-body to browze on it. This, you will remember, was the occasion upon which J. Caesar acquired a name for himself and his college by sending the returns of the game over the wire with one hand, typing the correct returns on his Corona (which he afterwards thrice refused) with another, mak-a talk on the evils of Vodka with another, and being the only college professor present with the other. However the ayes had it and the proverb was pronounced plural. Not that it was in the least singular beca'£je the.ayes usually have'it or wfiere"to get it" "But we set out to prove that the aforementioned proverb is singular. Now lookl The word "fit" is derived from the Greek -word "convulsio felinus" meaning the "cat's whiskers." Now if you happened to see a car pitching a fit would you think it quite a bit of all right, what? You jolly well know you would. Of course if you saw one pitching a no-hit no-run game you might think it a bit thick. But if you saw three cats pitching three unaccountable fits, consider, well, now, wouldn't you think it was singular? The neighs ..pardon..the meaows have it. While we are on the subject of tense, we will pause in our mad meanderings to remark that A. R. Semmes, U. S. N., is no longer singular. In fact, we go so far as to conjecture that he may now be plural. We expect the waters of Pensacola Bay to quiver an undulating response in the near future to the roar of the guns on the Admiral's flagship. Flash Covington, the braying colonel, expects to be the cynosure of all eyes in the coming fray. Some one told him he would. Associated Press. Special wire. CURRENT EVENTS AS SHE IS SPOKE The Crown Prince, under the cover of darkness, fled the land of the cheeses and windmills, without leaving so much as a leak in the dike by which to be traced. This is well known to you all. You also know that General Von Ludendorf got loose in a German bar-room for fifty yards, initiating a re volution., a veritable splutsch. Now what you folks always fail to get is the connection between just such important events. Can't you see from these two events that in all probability there is somewhere in Europe a road connecting Holland and Germany I Do you realize the importance of this..what I mean to the future welfare of Dutch cheeses when they are old enough to walk? Sup pose, for instance, that you were a big cheese. (Laughter) This is no laughing matter. Some of you would not even have to suppose. (More laughter) You won't live that long. (Most laughter) Now what chance would you have to exert your noisome influence at a football game if there were no .oads between Auburn and Birmingham which did not carry empties. The point is this The Crown Prince was fed up on cheese. Ludendorf heard of it. He said, "Macht vas Racht." There happened to be an Amer ican in the bar-room at the time, who disapproved of anybody's referring to Sherman so familiarly even if his first name was Mac. He is the one who start ed the sprtdlch in the bar room, whipped Ludy's ten knights and mashed his face- on the bar room floor. Jenny kicked me when we met, Guess I must have got too close in Doc, you crook, who love to get Bones into your jeans, put those in. Say you're sorry mules are bad, Say you're glad you can assist me. Doc, don't say you'd have been glad, If Jenny had missed me. The Scrubs have to do some tall scrubbing nowadays. This is not a pun, Aloysius. Try bathing without soap.

Christian Endeavor Discusses Splendid Subject At the meeting of the Christian LlTtfeavui' on •inSi.'TSv.ua.iJ £VUni2% a fairly large crowd was present, and everyone seemed to manifest deep interest in the subject under discussion. The members made up in enthusiasm for what they lacked in numbers, but this was not unusual, as all of them are vitally interested in the work of the society. Miss Emily Hare was leader for the meeting and she conducted it in her usual impressive manner. The subject under discussion was "Courage." Miss Hare gave a good introduction and then called -for volunteers among those present to rise and express any view that they might hold upon the topic in hand. Several of them responded and brought out points which were well worth listening to . In this manner the subject was held up for thorough consideration and thought from all possible angles, and the result was a much better knowledge of what Courage really means than was previously held by those who heard the discussion. Different members discussed the topics from different viewpoints. Some mentioned examples of courage in fiction, while others gave instances where leaders won out by their courage alone. It was also shown how courage was an absolute necessity in one's daily life, especially that of a college student. Mr. Miles then gave a good talk upon the subject bringing out important points that had escaped the thoughts of preceding speakers. The Christian Endeavor is made up largely of students. Hence, it is as much a student activity as arc the various other organizations on the campus. And a knowledge of what it is doing is and should be of interest to other students, especially those who take part in the work of the young people's societies. A cordial invitation is extended by the Christian Endeavor to all Presbyterian students and all others who so desire to come out and take part in the work of the society Rabbi Newfield Speaks At Convocation Brings Splendid Message To Upper Classmen Rabbi Morris Newfield of Temple Emmanuel, Birmingham, and prominent civic and social service leader, told seven hundred Auburn upper classmen today that we must not allow the world to grow old, to become staid and to settle down, that the youth of the land must be the pathfinders of progress. Dr Newfield was the chief speaker at convocation exercises in Langdon Hall. He was introduced by President Dowell as a Hebrew, unique, 1101 only because of bis work along social welfare lines, but because of the fact that he was at one time a member of the faculty of a Baptist institution, Howard College in Birmingham. .Dr. Newfield declared that not all of the "heresy hunters" of the world could stultify the spirit of youth. He said he would rather see a young man or young woman delve into the realms of the un-known in an effort to achieve something tremendous and fall in the attempt than to see. the young man or woman following out the beaten path and be called an "ordinary common sense person." "The young people of this country," Dr. Newfield said, "will be the-pathfinders in the world's development during the next few generations." The speaker declared that young men and women must have unity and dignity as well as the e^gejaJi?! obligation. He said too/many of our young people are apparently content with the state of medio* crity, accepting rumor for proof and propaganda for fact. He declared that the world owes us nothing, but that we owe the world everything and no person with sense superior to persons of less mentality and less of this world's goods, for these are God given. Rabbi Newfield said that he had been called a Presbyterian Rabbi when the Presbyterian Church, j n Birmingham used the Temple, that he had been termed a Baptist Rabbi when he taught at Howard College and that now he would be very glad to be called the Auburn Rabbi.

It met on Monday Night for its regular meeting and after a short business session, was entertained with an excellent program. Professor Kirkley of the English Department was present and gave a very interesting talk on his experiences in the "Neighborhood Play House, on Grand Street, New York City. Milton Collins, who is a very active member of the club, gave a resume of the delightful play, "A Strenuous Life'" by Richard W. Tully, which, was greatly enjoyed by the members of the club. Grace Gardner then gave a talk on "The Modern Theatre." Her talk was quite entertaining and at the same time furnished valuable information to students of .Dramatics.

The first review of the year was held on Tuesday, November 13th, in honor of Judge Black of Birmingham. Judge Black came to Auburn as a guest of the American Legion, of which he is a member, and spoke to them in their meeting hall and also at convocation in Langdon Hall. The review was considered the best review we have had this year (as it was the first one). The Junior and Senior officers received many compliments on their new uniforms and also in the way in which they handled the review. The only part of the outfit which did not make a snappy appearance was the band and that was because that particular organization has not been provided with uniforms. Outside of this every thing went off in good style and the officers were satisfied with the first showing of the R. 0. T. C. SHE MEANT IT, TOO Finally she spoke: "Oh, I'm so Id." She shivered.

Mr. Hicks brought out very emphatically the reasons why Auburn and other Alabama colleges have been so sadly neglected in the past. Mr. Wallace gave a good talk on "Drinking in Auburn," while Mr. Morgan chose the subject, "Inventions that Should Be Made." Mr. Brown and Mr. Elder also made talks on "Moonshine and Prohibition.'

Dr. Petrie of Virginia Visits His Son in Auburn Dr. G. L. Petrie, father of Dean Petrie and the oldest Presbyterian pastor in point of service in one church in the state of Virginia is a vistor here. Dr. Petrie's father, Dr. G. H. W. Petrie was pastor of the First Presbyterian Church in Montgomery from .1857 to 1885. Dr. Petrie is one of the most distinguished pastors of the Presbyterian Church in Charlottsville, Va., the home of thejjniversity of Virginia. He has been pastor of this church since 1878. Dr. Petrie is also one of the three oldest living graduates of Ogle-thorp University, Atlanta, where he received his doctor's degree last year. He is the author of two popular volumes on "Jacob's Sons" and "Israel's Prophets." Good Debate Held At Websterian Society In spite of the fact that "Lorna Doone" was shown at the movies on Tuesday night, the members of the Websterian Literary Society proved faithful for the attendance showed practically no decrease. The question: "Resolved that the United States should free the Phillipine Islands, guaranteeing complete independence," was well debated. Both sides showed splendid preparation and were presented with foi^™''lness. On the af-firmativ^ M I ^ \ prn^lloy and Real Service Must Be Engineered Many of the men whose names are writ large in engineering history are design engineers; men like Westinghouse, Lamme, Stanley, Hodgkin-son, Tesla, ShaJlenberger. Their inventions have the quality of usefulness, of reliability, of productabUity; which is an involved way, perhaps, of saying that they have the primary requisite of all really great inventions: Serviceability. Engineering history abounds in instances of near-genius that produced no product, and of great developments that never reached completion; and most of these instances are explained by the lack, somewhere in the system, of that ability to give real Service. Service, in a machine or a system, or wherever you find it, is not there by accident but because it was incorporated by men who understood what was required and knew how to provide it. Much more is required of the designer than facility in calculation and mastery of theory. He must have first hand and thorough familiarity with manufacturing operations and with commercial and operating conditions. It takes more than mere ingenuity and inventiveness to design apparatus that will be really serviceable and will "stay put." The design engineer, in the Westinghouse plan, is responsible for the performance of the finished product. He cannot possibly have the proper understanding of operation unless he operates and tests, unless he spends time and thought in investigation and study, not in the laboratory Or drawing room, but right on the operating job. Here, most of his ideas will develop; and here he will see and prepare for all the different things which the product will later have to encounter. Then when he comes to put his creations on paper, his calculations will be necessary and helpful to check the conclusions which he has reached, and this right use of them requires training and a high degree of understanding. This proper balance of the .physical and mathematical conception of things is what constitutes engineering judgement. It should be thoroughly understood that the primary function of the design engineer is the conception and the production of new or improved apparatus, and familiarity with the practical is essential to the proper discharge of this duty. It is this view of designing that makes this branch of Westinghouse engineering so important, so effective, and so productive of real developments. Westinghouse ACHIEVEMENT 8 OPPORTUNITY THE PLAINSMAN ECONOMICS DEPT. SHOWS GREAT INCREASE ENROLLMENT Prof. Lindsey Added To Economics Faculty Statistics show a great increase in the enrollment of "the various courses in the Economics Department over those of 'last year. To date there are four hundred and twenty-four students enrolled in these courses, of which a hundred thirty-seven are in the class in Accounting. The other courses are as follows: Economic Geography, 84; Business Law, 90; Economics, 83; Public Finance, 18; and Economic History, 10. Nearly all of these show a marked increase over last year. It will be noticed also that a new course has been added to this department, namely Economic Geography, and the number enrolled indicates that it is a very popular course. These statistics show very clearly that the students are recognizing the value of the economic subjects and that the department of Economics here, while not a separate and distinct department, is ranking ^with the others, in short, although it is not called one, Auburn really has a School of Commerce or Economics that is growing and becoming more comprehensive each year. The Economics Department is fortunate in having the services this year of a new man, Mr. A. H. Lindsey. Mr. Lindsey took his Bachelor of Science degree at the University of Illinois, and his Master of Science degree at Ames, iowa State. His classes here have a total enrollment of three hundred and twenty-four students, some of course being counted twice. Prof. John B. Clarke is Head Professor of Economics. If-fflay-aiso-lie-notedthat the General Business Course this year has a total pi a hundred and ten students. This shows a great increase over last year's total. Besides these students, however, there are three hundred and fourteen students from the strictly General Course and from other courses who are taking one or more subjects in the Department of Economics. Everything points to the increasing popularity and interest in these subjects. CHAS. S. SMITH, POPULAR SENIOR, DIES SUDDENLY (Continued from Page 1) any way possible, and to see others happy, even at his own expense. He was the fellow who always had a cheerful word when others were blue or despondent. He did not know how to complain, but always looked on the bright side of everything. He was a leader in his class work as well as in all college activities. He was president of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, a first lieutenant in the engineer onit of R. O. T. C., advertising manager of the Plainsman, a member of the Society of American .Military Engineers, a lieutenant in the Friendship Council of the Y. M. C. A., secretary-treasurer of the Forum Class of the Methodist Sunday School and stood near the top of the""class in Mechanical Engineering. Fdllowing is a communication received from Samuel Smith, father of the deceased: Members of the family wish to join me in" expressing deep appreciation for the thoughtfulness and many kind acts of students and faculty members at Auburn both during the illness of Charles and after his death. It is great consolation to us to'know that in his last days our son was among such true friends: Samuel Smith, LaFollette, Tenn. ARMISTICE PROGRAM VERY FORCEFUL Judge Hugo Black of Birmingham Chief Speaker The fifth anniversary of the signing of the armistice, which brought to a close the great World War, was fittingly observed in Auburn Tuesday. A program was ar-rangecTby the American Legion Post in connection with the college and a half holiday was given the student body in order that they might take part in the exercises. The festivities began at 1 o'clock with a parade by the American Legion escorted by the college hand and headed by Captain Em-tnett P. Smith, Chaplain of the immortal 107th Alabama Infantry dur- >ng the war. The parade started at the Legion Hall and ended at Langdon Hall where all the ex-service men marched upon the stage. In a short introductory address Captain Smith introduced Judge Hugo Black, of Birmingham, an ex-service man and ardent supporter of the American Legion, as the speaker. Judge Black delivered a most befitting address in retrospect of those who gave their lives in the great war for humanity. The speaker referred to the fact that every generation up to our present time had been marked by bloody wars for supremacy, but none nave been so great as the one we are today observing--a war of Democracy against Autocracy. "In our own country, the only successful Democracy in the world," Judge Black declared, "something should be done to avoid the continual strife and antagonisms brought on by those who have not been imbued with that true American spirit sufficient for citizenship in a thriving nation. Toi avoid this trouble and -a repetition of that bloody conflict, why not close our country, the so-called melting pot of the world, until those already in it have learned the true principles of Democracy." In closing Judge Black urged preparedness and a greater interest in our country so that the 60,000 Americans now sleeping in France shall not have died in vain. Among those present was Dr. Geo. H. Petrie, of Virginia, father of Dean Petrie. Doctor Petrie was a chaplain in the Confederate war with a record both as a soldier and scholar. Immediately after the exercises held in Langdon Hall a review was staged in honor of the occasion by the members of the Reserve Officers Training Corps under command of Major John E. Hatch. This was the first review of the year and the drill field was surrounded by townspeople and Legionnaires.

Woodruff, Chapin and Kincaide w4re the big factors in annexing yardage from Newell's clan, who were unable to check their sweeping end runs late in the game. The "!oral Staters were especially adept in their handling of forward passes completing thirteen but most of them were for short gains. The winners succeeded in making 13 first downs to 9 for the young Plainsmen, the number, thirteen appearing to be a favorite for the Gators. While Haygood, Andress and Hasler were the big light in offensive play, the work of English and Aiken in the line was outstanding, though all the forwards showed great fight and courage throughout the game. Reports from the Florida camp say that the Junior Tigers are the strongest foe» their team has met thus far this season. All their On Sunday Evening, November 11th, the Churches of Auburn held a union service at the - Methodist Church in celebration of Armistice Day. Rev. E. W. Holmes, who is pastor of the First Baptist Church here and a member of the American Legion delivered the sermon in his usual forceful manner, and once more revived in the hearts of his hearers those thoughts and feelings which should be there upon the anniversary of the signing of the Arm-itice. Mr. Holmes was a chaplain with the American Expeditionary Forces during the War and hence was well fitted for the task of paying tribute to the memory of those who paid the supreme sacrifice and to the valor of those who were so fortunate as to return alive. The subject which the speaker discussed was: Keeping Faith with the Dead. In the course of his sermon Mr. Holmes said, "It is the duty of the American people to keep alive the ideals for which those heroes who died on Flanders fields always stood and for which they fought and gave their lives." He paid glowing tribute to those heroes in* fitting words, and impres. sed those who heard him with the forcefulness of the manner in which he did so. In conclusion, the minister presented the picture of the world when the prophecy of Micah shall have come true—the picture of a world that has ceased to learn war. "And they shall beat their swords into ploughshares and Jheir spears into pruning-hooks"— so runs the prophecy. And the speaker showed what a glorious day it would be for the world when this shall have become fulfilled, and everlasting peace established upon the earth.

Only four new men that started the game in Birmingham last year are now on the Auburn squad and this means that seven new ones will start when the referee gives the starting signal. Practically all of Centre's present regulars were in the lineup against the Plainsmen a year ago and as the Tigers will be facing" such a collection of veterans, the dope will naturally be against them. Petersen, who was placed in the lineup after Gibson's injury, played a wonderful game at quarter last year and was one of the big heroes of the victory. This year will find the peppery little field general getting off at the beginning and he is predicted to,be a thorn on the side of the Colonels for the second time. Both Kubale and Lawrence are being considered as the class of pivot men in Dixie and a real battle is sure to be developed around the center of the line. Reagan was a big factor in turning back the invaders last November and with Sitz holding down the other guard, this section of the line is sure to be well cared for. Pitted against the veteran Chinn and the bulky Skid-more, will be the Tigers' new tackles, Brice and Harkins. So far this season these two have filled the shoes of the two stars who departed, and if they can continue their stride, Centre's gains will be other thsn off tackle. Ollingerwill be holding down the wing made famous by Slick Moulton, a position where he has'feeen fitting in as neatly as a bug's jacket. • Flash Covington seems to be the best bet of the Boys from the Blue Grass section and if this speed demon can be effectively stopped, it seems that the men of the Plains will have a good chance. With Ross Ford back into condition it looks like the Colonel's line is in for some strain because the forwards of both Georgia and Tulane felt it on many occasions. Allen got in for a few minutes when Big Red Roberts was leading his band and will probably get further opportunities this year, while Williams will be getting his first fling at the Pride of Kentucky. Everybody is behind the Tigers who will give them the best they have in store. PROBABLE LINE-UP FOR SATURDAY AUBURN CENTRE Ollinger Lemon Left End Harkins Skidmore Left Tackle Reagan (Capt.)

A sweeping end run on a fake buck produced the final twelve yards for Tulane and the score was knotted, as Flournoy failed in his attempt at a goal. All efforts of the Tigers to score after this proved futile, although they continued to gain much ground in the middle of the field. After an advance that looked like a producer of a score, a forward pass was intercepted and thus the chances of the victory went flitting away. Captain Rip Reagan, Fats Lawrence, Batch Ollinger and Hard Boy Pruitt played a great game in the line and on the ends respectively. Ford, Williams, Petersen and Howe were all right when it came to carrying the ball but too many penalties cut the yardage down. Brother Brown proved a demon for speed and scored the touchdown for. his team, besides playing n great game at halfback.
