THE AUBURN PLAINSMAN VOL. LXI Z-I "AUBURN, ALABAMA, FRIDAY, JANUARY 7, 1938" NUMBER 29. 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. Kappa Delta Pi To Hold Convention The Southeastern Regional Conference Kappa Delta Pi, national Educational fraternity, will meet January 15, at Alabama College, Montevallo, Prof. Edna J. Orr, counselor for Alpha Phi chapter, local unit of the organization, said today. Dr. Zebulon Judd, dean of the School of Education, will address thee group on "The Value of Kappa Pi to Alumni" at the morning session. Dr. A. F. Harmon, president of the college, will welcome the group. Dr. Katherine Vickery, counselor for Beta Lambda chapter, will preside. Miss" Mary Alice Tucker, secretary of the local chapter, will lead a group conference at the afternoon session on "Principals for Selection of Members." Prof. E. I. F. Williams, national Recorder- Treasurer of the organization, will be the principal speaker at the luncheon for the conference. He is from Heidelberg College, Tiffin, Ohio, and his subject will be "Observations from the Central Office." The program committee for the conference is in charge of Dr. Vick chairman; Prof. Edna J. Orr, counselor of the local unit; Mr. H. S. Ritchie, Beta Kappa chapter, University of Georgia; Prof. M. L. Shane, Alpha Pi Chapter; and the counselor of Xi chapter, University of Alabama. This will be an all-day conference of the fraternity and the first session will begin at 10:30. 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. Offered Position |p|ans for Events Released By Blue Key Group COACH DEUL. yiOfzoi/v . 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. PAGE TWO THE AUBURN PLAINSMAN FRIDAY, JANUARY 7, 1938.

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." Some of the Veterinary Labs are kept open many nights for the convenience of the students, and one would be surprised at the Sixteen Ems BT SPACER OUTER 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." Our Seasonal Poem Under the hanging mistletoe, The homely co-ed stands, And stands, and stands, and stands, And stands, and stands, and stands. Second Childhood Joe Purvis lost the first bet of his life the other day. He bet a man he could jump off the Eiffel Tower and come up in New York. 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. Quotations Only when we paint our pictures with our blood and feed the fires with our bodies do we reach success.—Canan J. Forbes Mitchell. No one can be more religious than the militant atheist. —Arnold Toynbee. No matter how many millions a man has in the bank, if he doesn't contribute more to life than he takes out, he is a beggar.—Herbert Shipman. Modern science is very liable to superstition and tends to breed superstition in its devotees.—Prof. John MacMurray. Our age is more humanist than intelligent. —G. K. Chesterton. News and Views 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. SATIRE — It doesn't speak so well for Mr. Roosevelt that Mrs. Roosevelt chooses to travel all the time. Maybe she is trying to get even with him for taking so many fishing trips. Well, Mrs. Roosevelt is certainly the most highly advertised tourist in the nation. Mid-term exams and mid-term dances are just around the corner. The puzzling thing is how one can get ready to take both of them' in right at the same time. Our idea is that most of the students will forget the exams and begin getting ready for the dances. After all it is a delicate process. FRIDAY, JANUARY 7, 1938. THE AUBURN PLAINSMAN PAGE THREE SPORTS BILL TROUP, Editor CONTRIBUTORS L. E. Foster Roy Powell Gus Pearson J. B. Thomas 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. At New Orleans Santa Clara Cagers Train For Coining Gaines 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.

Pitts COMPLETE INSURANCE SERVICE PHONE 375 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. NOTICE Repaired and unredeemed tires and tubes, all sizes. cheap.

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." NOTICE The Wesley Foundation will entertain with a social tonight at 7:30 at the Methodist Church. The public is invited.

The above teams' ratings were compiled by the Williamson Rating System. Their territory covers the whole of the United States. From the group picked by the system came seven of the eight teams participating in the four most important games.. In September California was tentatively picked by the System to be No. 2 on January 2,1938, and Pittsburgh to be No. 3. For the Pacific Coast it was predicted that California would be the champions and would go to the Rose Bowl and that Stanford would be runner-up. For the Rocky Mountains it was predicted WELCOME HOME STUDENTS Edwards Grocery Store Open All .Times that Colorado would be the champions and Utah the runner-ups. They also predicted that Pittsburgh would lead in the East. Minnesota was picked to be No. 2. in the Big' 10. Duke was picked as No. 1 in the South Atlantic, with North Carolina at No. 2. Nebraska was picked for No. 2 in the Missouri Valley and Arkansas for No. 2 in the Southwest. These predictions were missed by only one place, Duke and North Carolina interchanged. With the holiday games completed the leading 24 teams in the Williamson rating give the System an over-all consistency of 95.5 percent. The 24 teams played in 194 games and in only seven of those games did anyone of them lose to a lower rated squad; in only 20 did a lower rated opponent get a tie. In only two of the tie games did the opponents differ in ratings by more than 5 points.

"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. . Patronize Plainsman Advertisers Williamson Rates (Contitnued from page three) 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 more pleasure for'38... a happier new year ...and more pleasure for the thousands of new smokers who are finding out about Chesterfield's milder better taste.

S. U., Duke, Georgia Tech, Vanderbilt, Tennessee; three each by Nebraska and Minnesota; two each by California, Santa Clara, Fordham, Rjde, Dartmouth, Ncftre D|ame, Harvard, Yale, one by Villanova, 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.

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. Kappa Delta Pi To Hold Convention The Southeastern Regional Conference Kappa Delta Pi, national Educational fraternity, will meet January 15, at Alabama College, Montevallo, Prof. Edna J. Orr, counselor for Alpha Phi chapter, local unit of the organization, said today. Dr. Zebulon Judd, dean of the School of Education, will address thee group on "The Value of Kappa Pi to Alumni" at the morning session. Dr. A. F. Harmon, president of the college, will welcome the group. Dr. Katherine Vickery, counselor for Beta Lambda chapter, will preside. Miss" Mary Alice Tucker, secretary of the local chapter, will lead a group conference at the afternoon session on "Principals for Selection of Members." Prof. E. I. F. Williams, national Recorder- Treasurer of the organization, will be the principal speaker at the luncheon for the conference. He is from Heidelberg College, Tiffin, Ohio, and his subject will be "Observations from the Central Office." The program committee for the conference is in charge of Dr. Vick chairman; Prof. Edna J. Orr, counselor of the local unit; Mr. H. S. Ritchie, Beta Kappa chapter, University of Georgia; Prof. M. L. Shane, Alpha Pi Chapter; and the counselor of Xi chapter, University of Alabama. This will be an all-day conference of the fraternity and the first session will begin at 10:30. 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. Offered Position |p|ans for Events Released By Blue Key Group COACH DEUL. yiOfzoi/v . 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. PAGE TWO THE AUBURN PLAINSMAN FRIDAY, JANUARY 7, 1938.

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." Some of the Veterinary Labs are kept open many nights for the convenience of the students, and one would be surprised at the Sixteen Ems BT SPACER OUTER 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." Our Seasonal Poem Under the hanging mistletoe, The homely co-ed stands, And stands, and stands, and stands, And stands, and stands, and stands. Second Childhood Joe Purvis lost the first bet of his life the other day. He bet a man he could jump off the Eiffel Tower and come up in New York. 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. Quotations Only when we paint our pictures with our blood and feed the fires with our bodies do we reach success.—Canan J. Forbes Mitchell. No one can be more religious than the militant atheist. —Arnold Toynbee. No matter how many millions a man has in the bank, if he doesn't contribute more to life than he takes out, he is a beggar.—Herbert Shipman. Modern science is very liable to superstition and tends to breed superstition in its devotees.—Prof. John MacMurray. Our age is more humanist than intelligent. —G. K. Chesterton. News and Views 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. SATIRE — It doesn't speak so well for Mr. Roosevelt that Mrs. Roosevelt chooses to travel all the time. Maybe she is trying to get even with him for taking so many fishing trips. Well, Mrs. Roosevelt is certainly the most highly advertised tourist in the nation. Mid-term exams and mid-term dances are just around the corner. The puzzling thing is how one can get ready to take both of them' in right at the same time. Our idea is that most of the students will forget the exams and begin getting ready for the dances. After all it is a delicate process. FRIDAY, JANUARY 7, 1938. THE AUBURN PLAINSMAN PAGE THREE SPORTS BILL TROUP, Editor CONTRIBUTORS L. E. Foster Roy Powell Gus Pearson J. B. Thomas 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. At New Orleans Santa Clara Cagers Train For Coining Gaines 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. (Continued on page four) Ace Center Tkink of the chancer of accident represented in the figures of a license plate / Insure Harvey C. Pitts COMPLETE INSURANCE SERVICE PHONE 375 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. NOTICE Repaired and unredeemed tires and tubes, all sizes. cheap.

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."

The above teams' ratings were compiled by the Williamson Rating System. Their territory covers the whole of the United States. From the group picked by the system came seven of the eight teams participating in the four most important games.. In September California was tentatively picked by the System to be No. 2 on January 2,1938, and Pittsburgh to be No. 3. For the Pacific Coast it was predicted that California would be the champions and would go to the Rose Bowl and that Stanford would be runner-up. For the Rocky Mountains it was predicted WELCOME HOME STUDENTS Edwards Grocery Store Open All .Times that Colorado would be the champions and Utah the runner-ups. They also predicted that Pittsburgh would lead in the East. Minnesota was picked to be No. 2. in the Big' 10. Duke was picked as No. 1 in the South Atlantic, with North Carolina at No. 2. Nebraska was picked for No. 2 in the Missouri Valley and Arkansas for No. 2 in the Southwest. These predictions were missed by only one place, Duke and North Carolina interchanged. With the holiday games completed the leading 24 teams in the Williamson rating give the System an over-all consistency of 95.5 percent. The 24 teams played in 194 games and in only seven of those games did anyone of them lose to a lower rated squad; in only 20 did a lower rated opponent get a tie. In only two of the tie games did the opponents differ in ratings by more than 5 points.

"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. . Patronize Plainsman Advertisers Williamson Rates (Contitnued from page three) 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 more pleasure for'38... a happier new year ...and more pleasure for the thousands of new smokers who are finding out about Chesterfield's milder better taste.

S. U., Duke, Georgia Tech, Vanderbilt, Tennessee; three each by Nebraska and Minnesota; two each by California, Santa Clara, Fordham, Rjde, Dartmouth, Ncftre D|ame, Harvard, Yale, one by Villanova, 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.
