Winners Of Gfomerata Beauty
Contest Named This Morning
Selection Of
Favorites
Planned
The opening ol the judges' bal­lots
in the recent beauty revue
revealed that Sara Smith, Edith
Cecil Carson, Stuart Peebles, Su-zelle
Hare, Eleanor Wright, Jean
Bailey, and Evelyn DuBose are
the co-eds who will appear in the
Glomerata Beauty Section, it was
announced by Jarvis Brown and
Morris Hall this morning.
It was because plans for the
annual were not complete that the
ballots were not opened until to­day.
Editor Hall and Business
Manager Brown decided to in­clude
seven beauties this year in­stead
of six as was done last
year. The girls receiving the
highest scores on the ballots were
chosen. There will be no special
section for "Miss Auburn" as she
will appear in the Beauty Sec­tion.
The beauties were selected dur­ing
the annual "A" Club mas­querade
ball by a committee of
seven judges from the art depart­ment..
A number of campus fa­vorites
will be chosen by an ap­pointed
committee in the near
future. The entire section of beau­ties
and favorites will be much
larger than has been the custom
in past years.
Sara Smith, of Union Springs,
was selected "Miss Auburn' in
a campus-wide election earlier in
the semester. A special student
for two years, she is registered
as an irregular freshman in
Science and Literature this year.
A member of the Kappa Delta
sorority, Edith Cecil Carson is a
sophomore in commercial art. Her
home is Montgomery. Stuart
Peebles, of Mooresville is a soph­omore
in Science and Literature.
Suzelle Hare, of Auburn, is a
sophomore in Science and Litera­ture
and a member of the Kappa
Delta sorority. Eleanor Wright, of
Do than, was elected "Miss Home­coming"
early in the semester. She
is a junior in Education.
A freshman in business admin­istration
is Jean Bailey, of Jack­son.
Evelyn DuBose, of Selma, is
a sophomore in Business Admin­istration.
School Depends On
Contributions
Pittsburg, Pa.—(ACP)—Carne­gie
Tech, to have Class A foot­ball,
must depend solely on ath­letic
scholarships contributed by
alumni. So said president Robert
E, Doherty in addressing the alum­ni
association.
Fundamental considerations in
the matter he listed as follows:
"Carnegie Institute of Technolo­gy
is, before all else, an educa­tional
institution.
"We are possessed of no mission­ary
spirit in this matter; we have
no desire to press amateurism to
unpracticable . . . limits.
"We want athletic teams, in­cluding
good football teams . . .
and we want as wide participation
as possible among the students in
all the sports.
"We recognize that intercolle­giate
contests, and especially foot­ball
mean much to the students,
alumni and faculty and are . . .
to be encouraged.
"In view of all these thoughts,
there cannot possibly be any
question of choice as between the
use of the institutions funds on
the one hand, for the support of
what is called Class A football
operations, or, on the other, for . .
pressing educational needs.
"Class A operations would seem
to pay in the case of those few
teams only that are able to stay
on top."
A meeting of the members of
the editorial staff of the Plains­man
will be held next week at
a time to be announced in the
Wednesday paper. By that time a
complete beat system will be de­vised
and all reporters will be as­signed
to specific news sources.
K. D. Inspector
Miss Josephine King, Tallahas­see,
Fla., is national inspector of
Kappa Delta sorority. She is visit­ing
on the Auburn campus this
week, conducting an investigation
of the local chapter. She is now
entering her second year of active
work with the office which she
now holds.

Kelley-Griswold Marriage
Is Announced By Parents
Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Kelley, of
Jasper, announce the marriage
of their daughter, Marie, to George
Matile Griswold on December 25.
The marriage was solemnized at
the home of the bride's parents
with Rev. T. L. McDonald offici­ating.
The bride received her educa­tion
in the Jasper City schools,
Judson College, and Alabama
Polytechnic Institute. While at
Auburn she was a popular memb­er
of the Chi Omega Sorority.
Mr. Griswold is the only son
of Mr. and Mrs. O. W. Griswold,
of Washington, D. C. He attended
Massanutten Military Academy
and received a degree in business
administration at Auburn. He was
a member of the Theta Chi fra­ternity
and now holds a position
with the Federal Service Finance
Corporation in Washington.
Beginning next Friday a regular
calendar of events will be run
once a week in each Friday pap­er.
Any organizations desiring
notices to be made of their meet­ings
may leave their schedules
Morgan Is Offered
Job Of Coaching
Georgia Team
Line Coach Has Not Yet
Accepted Position But Is
Expected To Soon
Mechanics, in the persons of
Georgia alumni, will be removing
a vital sparkplug in the Auburn
football machine if they succeed
in getting Coach Dell Morgan to
accept their offer of head coach.
. Harry J. Mehre, for 10 years the
Georgia head coach, resigned un­der
pressure from disgruntled
alumni early in December.
Tentative anouncements of Mor­gan's
becoming head coach at the
University of Georgia came as a
unwelcome surprise to students,
alumni and followers of Auburn
football, for it is he who has been
largely responsible for the almost
invincible Auburn lines of recent
years.
Announcement of Morgan's se­lection
was made in Atlanta Wed­nesday
afternoon late by Harold
Hirsch, Atlanta lawyer and mem­ber
of a five-man committee del­egated
to recommend a coaching
set-up to Georgia's Athletic Board.
No definite announcements as to
his acceptance or rejectance of
the offer has been made as yet, but
should be made within a day or
so.
Since coach Morgan could not
be contacted for a statement it
was not learned wher he would
sever his connection' it Auburn
and move to Athens it is likely,
however, that he will leave. here
within the next week or so in ord­er
to map plans for the spring
training football program at the
University of Georgia.
Reports from Atlanta state that
Mervin (Chick) Shiver, All-Amer­ican
end at Georgia in 1927 and
now athletic director of Arm­strong
Junior College, Savannah,
Ga., will be brought in as end
coach, with Joel Hunt, L. S. U.
backfield coach and former star
quarterback at Texas A. & M.,
coming from the Baton Rouge
school in the same capacity.
Previous to his coming here,
"the skipper" made a fine record,
was captain of football, basketball,
track and baseball his senior year
at Austin College, and received a
number of high recognitions for
his outstanding football playing
while at Austin.
Upon being graduated from Aus­tin
he went into the coaching game,
first piloting a small high school.
After coaching several successful
high school teams, Morgan went
to Texas Tech where he remained
until he left to come here.
In Alabama his genial nature
and personality have won for him
a host of friends, and his personal
friends perhaps outnumber his
football followers.
In the event that Coach Morgan
does accept the Georgia position
Auburn will be left with two vac­ancies
that will be hard to fill, as
he is not only head line coach but
is in charge of varsity baseball.
If he does go to Georgia, he will
likely leave at the end of the se­mester
to take over the reigns at
the beginning of Georgia's spring
practice.
The star performers under
Morgan't tutelage have been tack­le,
Haygood Patterson, Jr., ends,
Joel Eaves and Bennie Fenton;
guards, Frank Gannt and Ralph
Sivell; center, Walter Gilbert, who
were All Southeastern selections;
Mutt Morris, Bummie Roton, Bo
Russell, and Freddie Holman,
tackles; Rex McKissick, end; Les­ter
Antley, center, and Milton
Howell, guard.
Coach Morgan also handled the
head baseball coaching job dur­ing
his four years here. Each year
he turned out outstanding diamond
teams and last year produced the
1937 Southeastern champions. It
has not been learned whether he
will handle the baseball coaching
duties at Georgia.
NOTICE
Students are requested to show
their excuses for absences to the
instructors concerned and to file
the excuses in the office of the
Registratrar as soon as possible.
Student cooperation in this re­spect
is necessary if the Regis­trar's
and instructors' records are
to be accurately and promptly
closed at the end of the semester.

Duncan Gives List
Of Developments
Increased enrollment, plans for
greater athletic facilities, restora­tion
of faculty salaries and com­pletion
of the livestock disease re­search
laboratory which is to serve
the Southeastern States were list­ed
today by President L. N. Dun­can
of Alabama Polytechnic In­stitute
as the outstanding develop­ment
there in 1937.
Dr. Duncan also called attention
to the increased number of women
students at Auburn and the high
percentage of employment of Au­burn
graduates of the last three
years.
"In several fields," he stated,
"we have received requests this
graduates we have been able to
year for twice the number of
provide."
The federal research laboratory
which is now nearing completion
at Auburn will serve the area east
of the Mississippi and south of
the Ohio Rivers in the study of
livestock and poultry diseases.
As for the greater athletic fa­cilities,
the basic excavation and
grading work on the site of the
new field and stadium is nearing
completion. Plans call for a field
house and running track in addi­tion
to football stadium.
With the increased support from
the state, Dr. Duncan said that
faculty salaries are now being paid
in full at the reduced scale for
the first time since 1932.
During the current session at
Auburn, more than 400 women
students are enrolled, an increase
of 20 per cent over- the 1936-37
number.
Sigma Pi Gives Dance At
W. P. A. Hall Tonight
The local chafer of Sigma
Pi social fraternity will enter­tain
with a formal dance tonight
at 9 o'clock at the W. P. A. Hall.
The event is the second of the
year for the group, there having
been a previous dance in Birm­ingham
in conjunction with the
alumni chapter there.
The Auburn Knights have been
secured to furnish music for the
affair. During the course of the
evening there will be several no-breaks
and lead-outs. A special
feature of the dance will be a
Sigma Pi leadout about which
no definite details have been re­leased.
The dance will close at
one o'clock.
News Of Mrs. Stoffregen's
Death Is Received Here
Mrs. William Byrd Lee was
notified yesterday of the death
of her aunt, Mrs. R. Lee Stoffre-gen.
At the time of her death she
was residing in Fredericksburg,
Virginia. Mrs. Stoffregen has
been a guest at the Auburn Epis­copal
Rectory several times dur­ing-
recent years.
Attend the Mid-Term Dances.
Schedule Includes Ball For
Honor Groups And Interfrat
Singing And Others
The program of Blue Key acti­vities
for the remainder of the
school year was announced at their
meeting last night. John Pollard,
president, stated that the organ­ization
would sponsor the Honor
Societies Ball, the Interfraternity
Community Spring Singing, and
the annual Blue Key tapping and
banquet.
The Honor Societies Ball is an
annual affir held in the spring,
with all the campus honor groups
taking part but sponsored by Blue
Key. This affair has aforehand
been given in sequence with the
Military Ball. It is not definitely
known yet whether these two
events will be scheduled for the
same week-end this year or not,
though plans are being laid in that
direction due to precedent.
The Interfraternity Spring Sing­ing
which received so much ac­claim
upon the campus last year
is to be made an annual affair.
Much interest ws shown in con­nection
with it last year; it is
considered as one of the major
events upon most college campus­es.
Last year the singing was
staged in the Amphitheatre near
the W. P. A. Hall. The tenative
plans are to hold it in the same
place this year. Copies of songs
to be sung will be made and dis­tributed
to the various fraterni­ties
at an early date. It is of­ficially
expected that Mr. Law­rence
Barnett will assist in the
preparation and presentation of
the competition.
To date, Blue Key has been
very active in its work for this
school year. Just prior to the
Christmas holidays the organiza­tion
sponsored an all-campus
Christmas Community Party. A
cup was presented to the most
outstanding player, Jimmy Fen­ton,
Auburn, of the Auburn-Ten­nessee
football game in Birming­ham.
The Freshman Reception,
which is an annual event spon­sored
by Blue Key, was held at
the beginning of the year.
College Advises Pay
For College Players
COLUMBIA, S . C—ACP—An­other
university has joined the
company of those who would put
subsidization of college athletes on
an open basis.
Following an editorial in the
Gamecock, a student weekly of
the University of South Carolina,
a movement has begun to put Car­olina
on an open subsidization
plan, contending that if the Sou­thern
Conference does not revise
its present rules, the school will
withdraw. ^
The plan follows that of the
Southeastern Conference whifch
announces that it gives financial
aid to leading athletic stars.
The editorial stated that foot­ball
was a business, with players
working hard and long and de­serving
compensation for their ef­forts.
It offered no criticism of the
present administration of athletics
at the University but objected to
the rules of the Southern Con­ference
forcing schools to give aid
to the players—under the table.
The University of North Caro­lina,
in like manner, has begun a
campaign for open subsidization.
These campaigns are pointed to­ward
the meeting of the Southern
Conference this month at which
the argument will be stressed.
Baptist Student Union Have
Weiner Roast Saturday Nite
The Baptist Student Union, of
the First Baptist Church, will
sponsor a wiener roast Saturday
night. Those attending will meet
at the Church, at six-thirty p. m.,
and hike to Clear Creek on the
old Opelika road, where the roast
will be held.
All members and freinds of the
B. S. U. are invited to attend.
Get ready for exams.
Cake-Walks With Cuthbert
Jane Dickson Is Chosen To Lead Grand
March Of Junior Dances With Farley
Will Osborne Broadcasts
Every Night Over WOR
At Eleven O'clock
Jane Dickson, of Columbus, was
selected by the Social Committee
last night to lead the Grand March
of the Junior Prom with Cuth­bert
Farley, president of the Jun­ior
class.
Miss Dickson attended Auburn
last year as a graduate student
in the school of Education after
having graduated the year before.
Her home is in Opelika, but at
the present she is employed in
Phenix City and residing in Co­lumbus.
While here she was a
member of Kappa Delta Sorority
and Sphinx honor society.
Curty Farley has served ex­tensive
time upon the Executive
Cabinet, is a member of Alpha
Tau Omega fraternity, and has
been very active in campus poli­tics
and activities. Quoting him,
"It is a pleasure to have one who
is as much a campus favorite
and as chrming as Jane with
whom to lead the Grand March."
Accounts verify the fact that
Will Osborne and his orchestr
are nationally known as one of the
most popular aggregations in the
musical world ever since he made
his debut as a purveyor of dance
rhythm.
When Osborne came to broad-way,
the jazz tempos, with their
tendancy to make a musical bed­lam,
irked him, it is reported. He
decided that he could create a
smooth, soft rhythm similar to
organ music. This type of music,
combined with Osborne's soft vo­calizing,
gained him instant pop­ularity
on the air and in the
night clubs. It is a tribute to the
quiet spoken baton wielder that
he has maintained his popularity
and the devotion of the public
over a period of years through
creating musical styles that have
attracted dance devotees all over
the country-
Music men know that if Will
Osborne consents to introduce a
number, its success is assured and
his recordings of popular tunes
are best sellers. The Decca Re­cording
Company concede Will
Osborne's records to be the No. 1
seller in their entire catalogue.
Although Osborne devotes near­ly
all of his time to radio v/ork,
insistent requests from admirers
for personal appearances have
led to engagements at social af­fairs,
ballrooms, and the de luxe
vaudeville theatre throughout the
country. He may be heard nightly
over WOR, (71 on your radio
dial) at eleven o'clock.
Speaker Discusses
Church Interests
By MARTHA H. EDWARDS
"There is more general religious
interest among college students
today than at any time in the
last decade," declared C. Aubrey
Hearn, associate secretary of the
training union department of The
Baptist Training Union Magazine
upon a visit to Auburn.
Mr. Hearn, a native of Albert-ville
and a graduate of Howard
College and Vanderbilt, is also
a nephew of T. C. Hubbard of Au­burn.
He was in Auburn contact­ing
student leaders in the inter­est
of Baptist Training Union
work. Auburn was the fourteenth
town visited on a tour including
15 colleges in five states.
"I am convinced that students
can do Training Union work of
a superlative order," Mr. Hearn
said. He reported that they have
shown a vital interest in the work
and desire to know more about it.
The Training Union he explained
is the most collegiate'of religious
organizations. It places respon­sibility
on the individual, empha­sizes
the importance of team work,
calls for participation in study
programs and projects, and gives
opportunity for service in extra­curricular
activities of the high­est
order.
Mr. Hearn described superfi­ciality
as the greatest temptation
of young people and declared
that moral and spiritual compul­sions
are the need of the hour. The
church, in order to reach a great­er
per cent of students, must en­large
its vision of the possibilities
of the college student.
Methodists, Baptists, Episcopa­lians
and others are making ra­pid
strides toward meeting the
challenge, he believes. Efforts are
being made by the churches to
reach all students in all kinds of
Educational Institutions.
Proof of this may be seen in
the many denominational (stu­dent
centers being established on
campuses and in college towns.
Student secretaries, too, are the
order of the day. Two examples
mentioned are the finding of four
student secretaries on one campus,
and the recent dedication of a $15,-
000 Baptist Student Center at
Florida State College for Women
at Tallahassee.
States included in Mr. Hearn's
tour are Alabama, Georgia, Flo­rida,
Tennessee and Illinois.

The "WHY" Of College
Colleges all over the United States are
full of students. Yet few of them ever
stop to think why they are really there or
what they will get out of the four years
they will spend there. Let us spend a few
moments in consideration of these things.
Casual observation reveals that a large
number of young people attend college
because it is fashionable. Some of them
come to school because their parents de­sire
them to be lettered men and women.
The rest of this group come because the
members of their set come. An actual edu­cation
is not the primary interest of this
group.
Many students attend college because
they think it is impossible to get a job
nowadays without the added prestige of
a degree. Many of these merely drift
through the four years expecting to get
the degree and the job at the end. In this
group, howeverv there are those who
really expect to be prepared when they
apply for a position and, therefore, ex­pend
some effort in gaining knowledge.
A third group of students come to col­lege
for the purpose of sponging on their
parents as long as they can before going
out to earn their own way. The members
of this group are carefree spendthrifts
studying only enough to get by and some­time
flunking out along the course of years.
Then come those who are true students
with the desire to learn all they can dur­ing
their brief stay at the institution. Num­bers
of them work their wayv through and
realize just what college is all about. They
spend long hours conscientiously working
and studying in an effort to get ahead in
life.
Now that we have seen why young men
come to college, let us turn to a consid­eration
of what they expect to accomplish
with their expenditure of time and money.
Among the students are the plodders, play­boys,
scholars, athletes, and big shots.
The plodders constitute the majority of
the total number. They drift along study­ing
enough to make average grades and
take very little part in extra-curricula ac­tivities.
The diploma is their ultimate aim
and they trudge on in the rear rank until
they get it.
Giving very little time to their studies,
the playboys rove about the campus con­stantly
in search of some diversion. They
attend all the dances and frequent the
road houses. Out-of-town football games
and girls' schools are their mecca. The de­gree,
if attained at all, is taken as a mat­ter
of course. To them the successful col­lege
career is one without a dull moment.
Graduation finds them bewildered and at
a loss of what to do.
The attendants who actually get some­thing
tangible out of a four year course
are the scholars. They expect to master
the intricacies of some profession and fol­low
it up after graduation. To them high
averages and membership in Phi Beta
Kappa are goals. Many of them are active
and well-known on the campus in addition
to their scholastic attainments.
A comglomerate group are the athletes.
Among them are some who play for the
game itself, some who play for the money
it offers, and some who play for the glory
it is possible to accrue from excellence in
play. A part of this group have coaching
jobs in mind, while others dream of enter­ing
the professional field of sports. Some
those who play for the game itself, are
scholars with other aims.
Lastly, there are the big shots. These are
the students who aim at a temporary stand
in the flickering spot light of student
attention. They are back-slapping poli­ticians
and schemers who go great lengths
to attain a bunch of coveted keys for their
watch chains. With no thought of after-graduation
days, success to them a chance
to bask in the light of the collegiate sun.
All these groups with their various pur­poses
make up the colleges of the land.
College, itself, is termed by some "the
biggest racket in the country." Whether or
not this is true depends solely upon the
attitude of the students. They may get
as much, or as little, out of school as they
will. It depends almost entirely upon their
attitude and the group in which they fall.
The groups are but glass slippers and the
student Cinderellas may choose for them­selves
which prince they will wed.
"There Is No Wine"
Did you ever try going to a dance with­out
a drink? I have! The results remind
one of the unfortunate state of circum­stances,
"There is no wine." In other words,
the exhiliration is taken out of the situa­tion;
in the very common vernacular of
the proletariat, "The thing ain't got any
pep."
It is often times the case that our wine
cellar gets into a state of depletion. We,
who are the unfortunates, and who do fall
into that catagory occasionally, do have
these disparaging moments. Hence our
moralls must be kept up, for there is always
more of the vintage to be distilled. How­ever,
the matter of effort is involved.
When one is estranged to any exhilira-ting
agents he is prone to ponder the ex­cuse
for his existence should any manner
of thought be suggested to his inertia
drunk mentality. He reaches a state where
he does not have enough interest or ener­gy
to even die. He is not satisfied with his
state of being, but there is nothing he can
do about it for there is no stimulating
influence to initiate activity. We allude
to this situation as "one being in a rut."
Now take the instance that is probably
familiar to the most of us students; we
return to school, having reluctantly took
leave of an existence which required lit­tle
or no actual work and even so it was
a variation to that which we had been do­ing,
thus making it a pleasure, and once
back in school we find that there is a
point where a continuation of work is ex­pected
of us. This, however, is a shock to
our mental and physical being. It is a re­verse
to that which we have recently been
enjoying. Besides all that, we find on
slight examination that there is a large
volume of this work expected of us. Im­mediately
the whole takes on the appear­ance
of that task which is worse than
drudgery.
Now—there has been an exposition of
an existing situation. It is a case wherein
"there is no wine." To provide this needed
exhiliration, there must be a conversion
to the silly fact that this is life which we
are living and that we have a host of silly
duties which are to be performed. It might
also be found that there is the slight pos­sibility
of finding actual exhiliration in
the act of performing, of creating, of watch­ing
living, of letting live, and actual parti­cipation
in living. It is a kind of a game
from which real pleasure may be derived
from the mere playing of it. especially
if it is played well. Therein you have your
exhiliration, "your wine."
* If we took the result of our constant drive to
get a traffic light for Toomers' corner as an ex­ample
of the effectiveness of our editorials we
we would turn this page into one of of adver­tisements.
So far we haven't even seen any sign
of activity on the part of the town or school to
regulate the dangerous traffic at that busy
corner.
About Our Veterinary Students
BY JOHN GODBOLD
The School of Veterinary Medicine at Au­burn
has the bad luck of being situated on a
separate campus from the rest of the college.
Because of that fact the Veterinary Medicine
students, known familiarly as "Vets", are a
somewhat mysterious group to most of the
Auburn student body. Most of us on the col­lege
campus know very little about them,
but the fact is that we would profit by making
it a point to learn something about the group.
As a whole they are by far the hardest-working
students, and they take their work
more seriously than any other group at Au­burn.
In a Veterinary class one hears very
little of the all-too-common patter such as
"Haven't cracked a book in a month," and
"I don't ever study this stuff." As one stu­dent
expressed it, " If you don't take Veteri­nary
Medicine seriously it will take you."

In order that the immortal lines of some
poet may not die, we are putting them in
print today. This tune about the not-so-merry
Crimson Tide is the same as "The Merry-go-round
Broke Down." It was shown on the
screen at the local oprey house with pictures
of the Rose and Orange bowl games.
The Trickle Of The Tide
The Crimson Tide Broke Down!
But you don't see us frown!
For Auburn Tech—we won, by heck,
While the Crimson Tide went oompah-pah,
oom-pah-pah,
Oom-pah, oom-pah, oom-pah-pah!
And poor oF L. S. U.,
They got a licking too!
In New Orleans
They lost their jeans,
And L. S. U. went oom-pah-pah, oom-pah-pah,
Oom-pah, oom-pah, oom-pah-pah!
All those guys
Are down in the mouth,
But Au-Burns teams
The best in the South!
The Tigers knocked 'em dead
And came out 'way ahead,
But Bama's pride,
The Crimson Tide,
Like the merry-go-round went oom-pah-pah,
oom-pah-pah,
Oom-pah, oom-pah, oom-pah-pah!
And Auburn went to town
The foregoing you will see becoming a
modern classic as the years bring about its
seasonal return to popularity and use. File
this away, children, and keep it close at hand
so you can find it at the end of the coming
football season.
Have A Cheer And Set Down
One of our most daring reporters sneaked
into the enemy's camp while they were having
a war dance before the Rose Bowl game.
Even at risk of life and limb he came back
with the goods. They were having a secret
practice of a new yell which they expected to
use in spurring their team to victory. Here
is the yell:
Re-sist 'em, 'Bama!
Re-sist 'em' 'Bama!
Place obstacles in their path!
Im-pede their progress!
Rah; 'Bama! Who-oo-oo!
Such spirit and enthusiasm is seldom found
anywhere and, strange as it seems, it wasn't
found at the University either.
Natty Nonsense
The Scotchman was so tight that every­body
said he was drunk.
"Workman," said Buntin, "what are you
going to do for a best friend when I get me
a dog like Gus Coats'?"
He was so mercenary that Lady Luck was
the only girl he tried to make.
"Eve," said Adam,5' "doggonit, you've gone
and put my dress suit in the salad again."
Late to bed and early to rise keeps your
roommate from wearing your ties.
"This reminds me," said the victim of a
hold-up, "my son will be home from Auburn
this week-end."

He came up in Salt Lake City.
Letters are beginning to pour into Auburn
from girls one knows only slightly as the
Mid-Term dances approach.
large number of students who take advant­age
of this custom simply for their own
benefit. Last year a group of Vets were con­ducting
an experiment—which, by the way,
was not required of them—involving the
blood count of a dog taken under varying
conditions at various times of day and night.
Several of this group spent their Thanks­giving
holidays in Auburn and continued their
experiment, going without sleep for nearly
forty-eight hours. Show us anywhere on the
College Street campus a student who will
spend forty-eight sleepless hours, during his
Thanksgiving holidays or any other time,
working out an accounting problem or writ­ing
treatise on the poems of Wordsworth, or
similar tasks, whether required or not.
The fact is that all too many of the Auburn
students get only what is "in the book" and
often very little of that. The students in Vet­erinary
Medicine, as a whole get what is in
the book and a lot more, too. Yes, if you want
a few lessons in how to get an education,
drop out and visit Vet Hill sometime.
Talk About The Town
by JACK STEPPE
And so we stagger back to our bi-weekly
stint of pounding out this tripe—though not
in the condition that most of our noble read­ers
believed our Eds to be in after seeing yes­terday's
issue. It seems they must have been
seeing double or something. But any how this
is the worst part about vacation—the idea of
getting back to work! A big red circle around
the 21st reminds us that our first performance
of our twice yearly inquisition begins on that
date—and we thinks perhaps we had better
do something about it pronto before we find
ourselves holding the proverbial bag which
we seem to do most of the time.
Though still unofficial as this is written the
appointment of Dell Morgan as head coach of
the University of Georgia football team seems
certain. It will be a great loss for Auburn. In
the comparatively few years that he has been
here Coach Morgan has won the respect of
everyone for his qualities as a coach and as
a man. His lines have been largely responsible
for Auburn's football successes and his base­ball
teams have been some of the best in the
South. He will take with him to Georgia the
best wishes of the entire student body for con­tinued
success—with reservations that not too
much of it be against our team.
The aforementioned staggering of our Eds
just shows to go you what a hangover or a
desperate lack of material can do for them
once in a while. We don't know which it was
but you can make your own guess.
Entries in the Plainsman's writing contest
are quite scarce—which leads to the conclusion
that there are few students who can or will
write, or else they believe "that the rest of
them can't read.
Buntin promises to get a dog to keep him
company and he ponders the moot question
of what Workman will do for a companion
in such a case.
'Tis now the time of the year when every­one
wishes they hadn't gone to so many of the
football games this fall, that they had taken
their books home over vacation, and that they
hd cracked said books more than once—but
in between steals the thought that "I don't
sell shoes" Duncans jook festival is not far
off—and the maids wonder who will ask them
to go and the men wonder where they are
going to get the price. Whotta life!
The films of the already famous Panay
bombing are given a showing today and to­morrow.
The showing of this film is quite
an unusual occurence. Aside from the fact
that they are unusual news shots the film
has all the possibilities of an excellent piece
of war propaganda. They are at least sure
to spread the growing anti-Japnese feeling in
this country, though diplomatically the inci­dent
Is supposed to be closed.
And thus we call it a day—and we hope
that Ye Eds don't get to hard up that they
have to print this twice. Its punishment
enough to see it once, but twice would be
criminal.

BY JOHN GODBOLD*
ALABAMA'S election for a United"'
senator is at last finished with Lister ^ 1 1
of Montgomery as the selection. About 85,0
thought that Hill was the best of the candi-'
dates; about 45,000 thought that Heflin should
be elected; a handful voted for Williams. Of
course, it was possible to compute the num­ber
who felt that there was no outstanding
candidate among the three. The fact remains
that Hill is our Senator for the next six years.
He is an experienced statesman, having serv­ed
in the House of Representatives for four­teen
years. With the whole-hearted support
of Alabama he may go far and do many
things.
DEFINITELY DISGUSTING is the adver­tising
method being employed to publicize
the film of a recent regrettable international
"incident". It is nothing more than jingoism
and drum beating—the type of propaganda
which aroused to a fever pitch the feelings of
the American people during the World War.
That the affair ever occurred is regretable,
but apologies and reparations have been
made and the "incident" is closed. The oc­currence
of the act itself was unfortunate
enough, but to have a big business concern
try to capitalize upon it by stirring up war­like
feelings is a reflection upon the intelli­gence
and the business methods of the Amer­ican
people. The sooner that it is forgotten,
the better. To herald the film of it as a scene
which may show the beginning of a "'Second
World War," to compare it with the firing on
Ft. Sumter, the sinking of the Lusitania, and
other past crises, are certainly unattractive
means of advertising and is the very poorest
of taste.
NEWS UNIQUE—Basil Rathbone put on a
show within a show last week. Rathbone
speared himself while leading a chase in the
new film Robin Hood.
The renowned actor, was at the head of a
villain's attact on -Notingham Castle when
he stumbled and was trampled by his follow­ers.
In falling, Rathbone's own spear pierced
his leg and he was carried to the studio hos­pital.
His director disgustedly said "it had to be
Rathbone . . . out of all those fill-ins on the
set."
The actor's injury was not regarded as be­ing
very serious, and he is expected to return
to the studios within a few days.
PROVINCIALISM seems to be one of the
curses of our government. If it could be
somehow removed or at least materially min­imized,
how much better the entire govern­mental
machine would function. Our Sena­tors
and Congressmen have long since ceased
to pass on legislation from a national perspec­tive;
instead they selfishly judge it accord­ing
to their own section of the nation. Often
legislative acts are passed with a definite
purpose of aiding one section of the country
at the serious injury of another. The Wages
and Hours Bill, which might well have been
a Godsend to the nation as a whole, was
killed by the South because Southerners are
too provincial and too narrow to see its bene­fits
from a national viewpoint. The Boileau
or "dairy amendments" to the farm bill would
protect dairy industries in a few states at
the expense of numerous other states. Dur­ing
the Civil War the attitude of many was
"I am an American, but I am a Virginian
first." The Civil War ended nearly seventy-three
years ago, but that attitude still pre­vails
in our government.
It is natural for each region to seek bene­fits
for itself first of all. To change this in­herent
characteristic would mean to virtually
change human personality itself, but if we
could, when it comes to governing a great na­tion,
forget our provincialism maybe we would
not be so continuously in hot water.
L'ENVOI: This is probably your columnist's
last feeble attempt to give you a little news
and a lot of views. Because of a little too
much school work and other things, your
truly is stepping down and turning the Fri­day
"News and Views" over to the capable
hands of L. E. Foster, the fellow who gives
you such an excellent column under the same
title on Wednesday. Maybe once in a while
we will step in as a pinch-hitter, but for the
present, we'll be seeing you.

Mid-term exams and mid-term dances are

how one can get ready to take both of them'

One Out Of Three
S.E.C. Teams Win
Bowl Classic
The three top teams in the S.
E. C. during 1937 made their 1938
debut before crowds that totaled
some 150,000 people in the annual
New Year's Day bowl classics. On­ly
one of them, Auburn, was able
to win.
In Miami the Plaismen ran
wild over the Spartans of Mich­igan
State in the Orange Bowl.
Not once during the entire game
did the northern boys approach
the goal of the Tigers. They ad­vanced
past the Auburn 40-yard
line only three times. The most
surprising thing about this game
is the low score. The Auburn
team ran all over the field to
tally 16 first downs, but the final
score was only 6 to 0.
It was Auburn all the way and
Speck Kelly most of the way. The
elusive halfback made runs of 17,
25, and 28 yards sandwiched in
between numerous shorter gains.
He passed to Ralph O'Gwynne
to put the ball in scoring posi­tion,
and he intercepted a State
pass near the end of the game
to stifle their las^ attempt to
score.
In the Auburn line Capt. Ant-ley
stood out like a sore thumb.
He was a powerhouse on every
play, especially as a backer-up­per.
Bo Russell played his usual
fine game at tckle, ssisted by the
ever present Happy Sivell.

With scheduled games just a
week off, basketball Coach Ralph
Jordan is still undecided as to a
starting lineup. Sophomore Ray
Gibson's fine guard play and the
returning of two football men,
Morgan and McKissisk, have com­plicated
the selection of a starting
five.
MpKissick is being tried at
guard and will likely be assigned
one of the opening posts. At the
other guard, veteran Ernest Pap-pas
and Ray Gibson are waging
a merry battle, and choosing the
first man from these two will be
a hard job.

again defeated Louisiana State in
the Sugar Bowl. Quite frequently
the Bayou Tigers advanced deep
into the territory of the Broncs.
Each time the Santa Clara line
stiffened and threw them back.
The Broncs scored on a pass
from "Bruno" Pellegrini to Jim
Coughlin, sub ned. The touch­down
came in the second period
and proved to be the margin of
victory, the final count being 6
to 0. Last year the Santa Clara
team eked out a win by a one
touchdown margin, 21 to 14. The
L. S. U. team, after three attempts
has yet to win a game in the
Sugar Bowl, having lost once to
T. C. U. and twice to Santa
Clara.
In the twenty-third annual
Tournament of Roses at Pasadena
a big California halfback by the
name of Vic Bottari proved to
be the biggest thorn ever pro­duced
by this classic. This time
he was the proverbial thorn in
the side of Alabama's Crimson
Tide. Every time he carried the
ball fat least three men were
needed to pull him down. He gain­ed
146 yards during the afternoon,
just seven less than the entire
Alabama team chalked up during
their 13 to 0 defeat at the hands
of the Golden Bears of California.
Other outstanding players for
the Bears were Perry Schwartz
at end, Sam Chapman at the oth­er
half, and Bob Herwig at center.
Chapman was second to Bottari in
yards gained with 65.
It was simply a case *f Ala­bama's
luck passing out with the
old year. They met a much strong­er
team and fell before them. Be­fore
the game some of the Cali­fornia
supporters were bewailing
the fact that the Bears lacked a
passing attack. If they hd possess­ed
any other means of scoring,
they, might have pushed the Tide
right back to Tuscaloosa.

stand up and take notice of the
tremendous power of its line and

the Spartans into submission,
a beating they will remember for
some time to come, and the Tigers

Tigers Make Talk
About Miami Game
The victorious Tigers rolled in­to
town Tuesday in a happy and
talkative mood, so the comments
of various players concerning the
Orange Bowl Classic were easily
collected for publication.
After having diligently urged
the boys to confine their remarks
to football, some of the remarks
ran like this:
Captain Les Antley— "They ex­hibited
the finest bit of sportsman­ship
I have ever seen on a foot­ball
field. It was a hard and clean­ly
fought contest and I think we
were fortunate to win."
Rex McKissick—"That was the
biggest bunch I ever played a-gainst."
Fred Gillam—"They played fine
ball but several of the Southeast­ern
teams would have taken them."
Bo Russell—"I'm all for this
Orange Bowl—I believe it is the
coming New Year's Day. attrac­tion."
George Kenmore—"The alumni
and the many Auburn supporters
showed us a fine time. The Orange
Bowl has possibilities of becom­ing
the New Year's Day game."
Spec Kelly—"We were just red
hot."
Coach Jack Meagher—"The boys
made me happy all the way. They
played a fine game just as they
have done all season long. I hope
the fans enjoyed it." The Tiger
mentor praised the fine attitude
of the Michigan State team. "They
never quit trying,' Meagher said,
"The Spartan efforts kept Auburn
always on the alert."

Fletcher Valentine knows tobacco
values...like so many other inde­pendent
experts he smokes Luckies!
"T'VE bought 4,000,000 pounds of tobacco at auc-
J- tions in the past ten years," says Mr. Valentine,
independent buyer of Westfield, N. C, "and my
bread and butter depends on making the right
bids. That's why I have to know tobacco values.
"Now I've smoked Luckies ever since 1918, and the
reason is, they suit my taste to a "I". Nobody knows
better than we tobacco men that Luckies are made
of the finest center-leaf tobacco."
Yes—and that isn't all... Luckies' exclusive process,
"It's Toasted" takes out certain irritants naturally
present in all tobacco—even the finest! The result
is that you will find Luckies not only taste good
but are easy on your throat.
Surely, independent experts like Mr.Valentine make
good judges of cigarettes... Sworn records show
that, among independent tobacco experts, Luckies
have twice as many exclusive smokers as have all
other cigarettes combined!

"Wells Fargo" Be
Shown At Tiger
The historic Wells Fargo Trail
—the lane which connected St.
Louis with San Francisco in early
gold days—and the men who made
and maintained it in the face of
Indians, bandits and nature, forms
the dramatic background for
"Wells Fargo", the motion pic­ture
which opens Sunday at the
Tiger Theatre.
Called by some "The Lifeline
of Empire," because of the im­portant
part it played in welding
together the sprawling nation as
it existed in 1850-70, the story of
the Wells Fargo Trail is one of the
most dramatic and romantic in
American history.
It came into being shortly after
gold was discovered, when a swift
and safe means had to be found
to transport the gold from the
mines and, equally important, to
bring mail and news into the roar­ing
mining camps. The firm of
Wells, Fargo & Company, fore­runners
of today's Railway Ex­press
Agency,, was organized to
fill this need.
Trails were cut, way stations
for the changing and'watering of
horses were established and a
veritable army of heavily armed
messengers was organized to pro­tect
the treasure. The roads had to
be kept open in spite of the whims
of weather.
The task of planning and open­ing
the trails is handled in the
picture by Joel McCrea. A man of
vision and courage, he is forced
I to leave his wife, played by
Frances J)ee, as the trail takes
him farther and farther West.
Unable to understand her hus­band,
a rift occurs. There are
patch-ups and reconciliation but
as time goes on— the story traces
the fortunes of the famly for two
generations—a break finally oc­curs.
The climax is reached after the
War Between the States when
McCrea and Miss Dee are brought
together again by their children,
now grown to young manhood and
womanhood.
Tigers Shown Nice
Time In Miami
A resume of the manner in
which the Auburn football team
was feted and entertained in Mi­ami
during the Orange Bowl festi­val.
It was gathered from talks
with the players.
The Miami High School Band
and a reception committee -*met
the team at the train. Immediate­ly
upon arriving Lester Antley,
Jimmy Fenton, and Happy Sivell
made talks on a sports broadcast.
Then the Tigers went to the Ve­netian
Hotel where they stayed
while in Miami.
Thursday night the team was
carried to a show and then they
had to go to bed.
Friday they were furnished
buses in which they made a scenic
tour of the city visiting such
places as the Hialeah Park and
Race Track and the Beach of
Miami. The day was finished with
another show.
After the game Saturday night
a banquet was given to the team
at the hotel and from this the
team went to the Coral Gable
Country Club where the trophy
was given to the team. Dates were
made for the boys on the team
with girls from the University of
Miami.
The team was given tickets to
the Royal Palm where most of,
the team went to dance for a
while. '.
Sunday some of the boys went
fishing while others went swim­ming.
That afternoon they wit-nessed
a championship swim-;
ming meet where Katherine'
Rawls broke the world's record.;
Buses and a police escort was ;
furnished the members of the i
team anytime that they wanted:
to go any where in Miami. j
The Auburn students who live I
in Miami helped with the plans j
for entertaining the team while
in Miami. Some of them are Mary
Hayes, who was the Auburn
sponsor at the game, Richard
Gardner, and Tom Hunt.

the final 24 leaders 14 of them
were among the 15 leaders and the
"dark horses" predicted by the
Williamson System back in Sept­ember.
Coach L. B. "Stub" Allison's
Californians showed stupendous
driving force and well-balanced
co-operation in defeating the Ala-bamians.
They were led by such
sterling performers as Bottari,
Chapman, Meek, Herwig, Stock­ton
and Schwartz. Although de­feated
and too eager or too ner­vous,
Kilgrow, Holm and Shoe­maker
particularly played a fine
game for Coach Frank Thomas of
Alabama. Despite the score the
Alabamians were no "pushover"
for California.
California by no means played
a team that rode into the Rose
Bowl on a weak schedule as claim­ed
by many.
Of the 24 Williamson leaders
in the nation six were met by
Auburn; four each were met by
fjeres

and none by Holy Cross.
In the Sugar Bowl at New
Orleans, before more than 1,000
coaches and athletic directors of
the nation, Coach L. T. "Buck"
Shaws' rip-snorting Broncos of
Santa Clara proved their right to
a place in the sun by downing
Coach Bernie Moore's Bayou Tig­ers
of Lousiana State, 6 to 0. The
Broncos' lineplay was magnifi­cent.
Some of the coaches figured
that Schiekl, Santa Clara's sec­ond
center, was even better than
Dougherty who set the pace in
the day's games for the great Her­wig
of California and the sturdy
Antley of Auburn. Wolff and Cope
were other great Bronco linesmen
while Pellegrini especially shined
in the backfield. Gatto stood out
at guard for L. S. U. and Rohm
and Milner in the backfield.
Coach Jack Meagher's Plains
Tigers from Auburn turned back
one of the season's best teams,
Coach C. W. Bachman's Spartans
of Michigan State, 6 to 0. The
whole Auburn line was superb and
Fenton starred as only a worthy
candidate for ail-American hon­ors
can star. In addition to being
hte only team to uphold the win­ning
prestige of the Southeastern
Conference in the New Year's Day
games the Auburn team emerged
alone for having played the sea­son's
hardest schedule, including
important intercoastal games. None
of Auburn's 11 games were played
at home.
In the Cotton Bowl at Dallas,
Byron "Whizzer" White of Col­orado
showed that he could whizz
against major opposition. How­ever,
as the Williamson System
pointed out last week they were
likely to do, Coach Bunny Oakes'
Buffaloes of Colorado University
could not hold the 14 point lead
established by their great "Whiz­zer"
and finally went down to de­feat
before the magnificent line
of Jimmy Kitts' Owls of Rice In­stitute.
Lain and Cordill led the
Owls to victory by 28-14.
Last week's predicted closeness
at the Sun Bowl in El Paso ended
in a 7-6 victory for Coach Mar­shall
Glenn's Mountaineers of West
Virginia over Coach Pete Caw-thorn's
Red Raiders of Texas Tech.
Moan "stood out for West Virginia
and Tarbox for Tech.
As predicted last week as prob­able
by the Williamson System
the East All-Stars and the West
All-Stars played a close game; a
0-0 deadlock.

The center berth is fairly well
sewed up by lanky Tom Edwards,
but Red Childress is right in be­hind
him, and is playing good
ball. At forward, no starters are
conceded. Crawford Holmes and
Malvern Morgan seem to have the
inside track, however, J. P. Street-man
and Bill Dudley have been
showing up well i npractice and
either might get the call.
