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

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-

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

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.

WILSONIANS MEET
"To make home more homelike

the purpose of the Auburn Home
Economics club" founded with its
members coming from student co­eds
taking the home economics
work the progress of which was
outlined by Miss Smith in the meet­ing
of the Wilsonian November 13.
With the addition of new equip­ment
and the new members of the
faculty Miss Thompson and Miss
Gatchell, the economics work is
making strong headway. \
Politicians forced Mr. W. L. Her-ron
to make for his main discus-siqji
on current events two topics
looking toward world peace, the
Cruzon-Hughes bill and the ex­change
of wheat, five years after
the loyal American doughboy had
forced Germany to sign an armis­tice.
Everyone knows that Mr. Stein-metz,
consulting engineer for Gen­eral
Electric Company, is dead,
but very few people know the in­teresting
details of his life so well
as Freshman Wilder gave them to
the members of the society. - -

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

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.

Splendid Meeting
The Dramatic Club is doing un­usually
good work this year. 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

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.

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.

was the fellow who always had a
cheerful word when others were

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.

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.

TIGERS READY FOR
CENTRE COLONELS
(Continued from Page 1)
meetings and the rubber game is
sure to be a thriller.
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.

In the second period, after the

into the territory of the Crescent
City boys, a fumble gave the ball to
Tulane and gave them their first
chance of the day. A fumbled for­ward

"Buckshot" Williams, a Chattanooga boy, who, although playing his
first year on the team, has proven to be one of the best ground
gainers, as well as a great defensive back. \
rence but ruled as incomplete,
when a second pass flew straight to
its mark and Tulane had made a
first down in Auburns territory. 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. Lauten-schlager
was the next best bet on
the offense, and Captain Talbot was
a great help at stopping the Tiger
Thrusts.
