XXVIII
SPIRIT SOARS WHEN
ASS MEET HELD
OR TULANE GAME
Talks Made by Captain
Lawrence and R.S. Harkins
Snappy Meeting and Bonfire
Relegating the Vandy defeat into
the past, the student-body met
Thursday night to show the Auburn
Tigers that they were still behind
them and that they were going to
back them to the utmost in the
Tulane game. Once more they gave
a great demonstration of the famous
Auburn spirit. The air was as
full of pep and enthusiasm in and
around Langdon Hall as it is of
oxygen. The meeting was a success
from every angle.
After assembling in the hall,
practically all the cheers were given
by the students with the vim
and enthusiasm that so distinguished
the mass meeting before the
Vandy game. The band was there
with full steam on and with such
a splendid band and competent
cheerleaders, it is no wonder that
there was so much pep manifested.
They could have stirred a
deaf and dumb school with their
music and acrobatic antics.
__jyhfn rental n._^Fats» Lawrence
and "Red" Harkins strode majestically
into the hall and gazed down
upon the assembly with their beaming
countenance, the crowd went
wild. Fifteen rousing cheers were
given Capt. "Fatty" as he arose to
give one of his famous speeches.
In his speech he sincerely thanked
the student body for the great send-off
given the team. He touched
every heart when he commented
on the way it affected the team on
the journey to Nashville. It seems
the sendoff was the thing uppermost
in the minds of each member.
Out on the field the boys fought
much harder when the Gods of
Fate were frowning upon them as
a result of the wonderful spirit
shown at the mass meeting and at
the station. This little talk served
to goad the students on to greater
vocal efforts.
When "Red" Harkins arose, one
of the greatest ovations given a
player this year was accorded him.
He gave another inspiring talk in
which he also mentioned the effect
that the sendoff had upon the Tigers.
This was the first appearance
of Red upon the stage this year and
he said that he had gotten a little
rusty.. Nevertheless he acquitted
himself very accountably.
After these encouraging speeches
the student body gave their vocal
chords a great deal of exercise in
anticipation of the Tulane game. Assembling
in front of Langdon Hall,
they marched around town, yelling
like mad-men and women. They
then disbanded and went home
yelling "WAR EAGLE" and "EAT
'EM,UP, TIGER" with fear inspiring
ferocity!

Department, is in Washington
in the interest of the extension
work. While in Washington Miss
Tappan is domiciled at the Grace

Students Respond
to Red
Cross Call
175 ENLISTED FIRST
DAY
The annual Red CrossMloll Call
was opened on Tuesday, Nov. 11,
and so far the results have been
gratifying. The Roll Call for the
students was undertaken by the Y.
W. C. A. members and the town is
being canvassed by the townspeople.
Three booths were opened on
the campus. The Kappa Delta sorority
was in charge of the booth
in the Main Building; the Sigma
Rho handled the Ag. Building; and
the Chi Omega's booth was at the
main entrance to the campus. The
three booths enrolled about one
hundred members, while the townspeople's
figure was seventy-five for
the first' day. The indications are
that the total enrollment will be
well over the two hundred mark
by the end of the campaign, which
is November 27.
A. S. M. E. Meets
On Monday night the American
Society of Mechanical Engineers
met in the Engineering Auditorium
for another big meeting. President
Locke called the assembly to order
and the business was taken up.
The secretary is very anxious to
get the order for the society pins
in, so every member who desires
to wear a pin should get his order
to the secretary as soon as possible.
It was brought up at the meeting
that many of the other schools
have a means of distinguishing the
engineering students from the others.
Many of the Mechanicals have
expressed a desire to have some
insignia to distinguish them from
the Civils and the Elecs. Some
of the Mechanicals have been using
a red bandana handkerchief for
this purpose; let's see more of them.
Prof. Garman ran true to form
and was present, giving a collection
of stories, taken from actual
life. Each one of them had a lesson
to teach, if they will only be
borne in mind.
It was gratifying to see so many
out and it is hoped that the attendance
will steadily increase. All
the Mechanicals ought to come out
to these meetings, and learn all
about their chosen proofession. You
can help A. S. M. E. and it can
help you. Be at the next meeting.
Watch for the sign on the window.
Those wanting pins will see the
secretary.
Among the prominent men visiting
Auburn on Armistice Day was
Mr. Walter H. Monroe, deputy in
the Workman's Compensation Department,
whose office is in the
State capitol, Montgomery, Ala. Mr.
Monroe is a member of the American
Legion and a very active citizen
if the capital city.
During one of his visits last year,
Mr. Monroe rendered a number of
vocal selections for one of the

Ball Practice
Fourteen Tigerettes, eager to begin
work, answered the call of
Coach Wallace McKinney in the
initial b?-.ketball practice of the
year on Monday night. The Co-eds
have for the past two seasons maintained
a clean slate, having won
every game played.
Under the leadership of Elizabeth
Young, popular Captain, and
Mary Tamplin, who has filled the
office of manager for the past four
years are planning to repeat their
past performance and put out another
championship team. They
have a wealth of material to pick
from, and only one member of last
year's varsity was lost through
graduation.
Elizabeth Young, Olive Gibbons,
Rubye Powell, Elizabeth Floyd, and
Ethel Price of last year's team reported
for practice and the following
are on hand to try for a place
on the varsity: Bessie Drake, Celeste
Nesbitt, Lettie Gibbs, Lillian
Duncan, Eunice Stinnett, Martha
Todd, Ruthlois Horne, Mary Stall-worth,
and Cleo Hearne.
Wilsonian Meeting
With a large attendance, the
Wilsonian held its regular meeting
last Tuesday evening. The program
was one of especial interest, being
opened by a talk by Mr. Daugette
on the recent round the world flight
of the American aviators. Miss Majors
rendered that plaintive ditty
which swings so easily to the tune
of "In the middle of the night,
when the sun was shining bright."
Mr. Mullins rendered a very comprehensive
and complete report on
the trend of historical events
throughout the world in the last
month. ^Starting with the general
elections both in America and England,
he continued even to the fat
swine show in Montgomery last
week. The true point of honor in
an honor society was truly portrayed
by Mr. Hale. It requires that
very rare combination of go-get-tiveness
in both studies and student
activities. The evening's supply
of jokes was Soled out by Mr.
Phillips. After the removal of old
and new business the society adjourned.
Judge Clayton
Speaks Armistice
Day
REVIEW STAGED BY
R. O. T. C.
Armistice Day was celebrated in
Auburn with a military review and
a student assembly on Tuesday
morning. Judge Henry D. Clayton,
of Montgomery, was the speaker of
the occasion.
Dr. B. B. Ross of Auburn, presided
and introduced the speaker.
Judge Clayton began his talk with
the statement that those assembled
had come together to do honor to
the past in order that they might
have a better comprehension of
things as they are, a clearer view
of things as they should be, and a
definite idea of what should ac
tuate them in the future.
He declared that the American
men only went into the war when
it was necessary to do so in defense
of the ideals of humanity. He said
that although they were not prepared
in arms they carried with
them a determination to live and
fight to the end for Liberty, America,
and God.
"There were two fundamental
ideas of life at war during this
great conflict," said the speaker.
'*The American ideal of the right
of every individual to the pursuit
of happiness and of liberty was
warring with the German idea of
individual subjection to autocracy,
imperialism, and militarism. We
see that it was the first of the two
ideas which triumphed."
Judge Clayton then declared that
the war for these two ideals did
not cease with the signing of the
armistice. He said that the justice
lovers of today must see that
France and the other battle-torn
nations have right and fair treatment.
"Never will the world be at
peace," he continued, "until the
will for peace is written into the
hearts of the men and women of
all the countries of the earth." He
said that we should strive to bring
this about in the following different
ways, by a restatement of international
law, the establishment of
voluntary arbitration, and some
kind of world court.
"But," said the Judge, "we must
teach as well as pray. We must
be ready to meet any emergency.
In this practical world of ours we
may as well recognize conditions
as they are. Men and women are
not yet so sublimated that they can
live by prayer without protection.
"God grant that such a time may
speedily come, but it has not yet
arrived. We must be, not only
Christians and patriots, but we
must deal with things as they are
in practical fashion."
In conclusion Judge Clayton
praised Auburn for the training of
her fine men, who he said were
makers, not of the State alone, but
of the nation, "God bless the A.
P. I.," he said. "God bless it and
prosper it forever."
Devotionals for the armistice day
celebration were led by Mr. Oss-man
and the closing benediction
was given by Chaplain Smith. Two
features of the occasion were the
solos sung by Mrs. Mayo and by
Mrs. Jackson, who» is a native
Frenchwoman.
At the lunch hour Judge Clayton
was the special guest of the Lion's
Club. Capt. Cushman of the Club

SPECIAL *
Following the custom, of
several years a special train
will be operated to Columbus
for the Auburn-Georgia game.
The special de luxe will compose
fourteen coaches and
two baggage cars, more if
necessary, and every man of
us will be counted on to be
there.
The good ship embarks
from the Village as the clock
tolls nine bells (railroad time)
and, barring flat wheels and
hot-boxes, will reach the mec-ca

o'clock. On the return trip
it will begin its retreat from
the Union Station at 6:30 and
if its cargo is not overcome
with hysteria will reach the
Plains at or about eight
o'clock.
The extraction is dirt
cheap. Only one eagle plus
fifty-six cents for the round-trip.
Freshmen Start
New Society
Last Monday night was somewhat
of a red letter night in the
Rat Literary Society. With the final
settlement and adoption of the
constitution and the absence of two
members of the program, the session
was not as interesting as might
have been expected from former
performances. Rat Lillick, in carrying
out the plan of reporting on
at least one current author every
meeting, read the life and some of
the poems of Joyce Kilmer. Mr.
Tabor again centered our attention
on the Japanese question and how
it can be settled. Rat WiUiams
gave us an account of his trip to
Montgomery, but it seemed that
even the memories of such an occasion
proved too much for him
as he sat down somewhat precipitately,
and somewhat weakly held
his head. Professor Evans gave a
lengthy talk on the coming declamation
contest which was very acceptable
as it provided a basis for
the various candidates to work on.
If one would like to.hear the highly
interesting try-outs go to the society
meeting next Monday night
in room 301, Main Building, at
seven o'clock.
Baptist Missionary
Union to be Entertained
The delegates of the Baptist Women's
Missionary Union in session
in Opelika next week have accepted
an invitation extended to them
by the college to visit Auburn on
next Thursday. A military review
will be held in their honor followed
by barbecue dinner to be given
at the Students' Club.
Automobiles furnished by the
citizens of Opelika will bring the
visitors, arriving at noon. They
will be met at Smith Hall by a
group of students who will show
them around the college. At one
o'clock the review will be held on
the drill field. The dinner will
be served at one thirty.

TIGERS MEET BULL
DOGS IN ANNUAL
CLASH SATURDAY
Ancient Enemies Renew
Feud in Columbus
GEORGIA YET TO BE BEATEN
BY SOUTHERN TEAM
The peaceful town of Columbus,
on the banks of the Chattahoochee,
will be the scene of blood and carnage
this Saturday afternoon, when
the Bulldog of Georgia and the
Tiger of Auburn stage their annual
love-feast.
For countless years the two
schools have done battle on the
gridiron, and as the years roll by,
the rivalry seems to become greater
and greater. For the past several
years the team that managed
to score a touchdown could feel
pretty confident of victory, and on
several occasions, the lead of a
single field goal loomed up mighty
large.
Pre-game dope seems to give the
Bulldogs a decided edge. The Canines
have played seven games,
have won six, and have not yet
been scored on by a conference
team. Their only defeat came at
the hands of the Elis of Yale, and
that defeat came only after a gruelling
struggle. Probably the biggest
feather in the Georgians' cap so
far is the 3 to 0 defeat of Vander-bilt.
It was the Bulldogs' first
victory over the Commodores in
many a moon.
The Tigers, on the other hand,
have won four games and have
lost two. They were not given a
look-in on the Conference race by
experts but gave some of the leaders
a bad scare, and are still in a
position to decide who may or may
not claim conference honors this,
season. In spite of the fact that
(Continued on Page 6)
Ag. Club Meets
After a week of excitement and
the accomplishment of the best Ag.
Fair in its history, the Ag. Club has
settled down to the usual program
of worthwhile talks with a little
fun mixed in for variety. Mr. Robert
Miles brought us one of the
best messages of the year in his
talk on success.
Mr. Miles said that the whole
secret of success and the happiness
incident thereto was based on work
but that it was quite as important
to get in the main stream of life.
He especially urged everyone to get
in the main stream of life ond not
merely drift into oblivion. He also
cited some interesting anecdotes
of his own life and said that his
choice of a vocation was based on
the above principle.
One of the best talks of the year
was made by Rat Williams who told
of the obligation a Freshman felt
toward his Ag. course at Auburn.
He stated that this obligation was
the same as any upperclassman
felt and was based on the same
principles of the proper proportion
between studies and activities.
B. F. Ponder had a message of
interest in horticulture and chose
for his talk the subject of landscape
gardening. The importance of trees
and proper landscaping was stressed
and America was compared to
Europe in this respect. After jokes
by West and Johnson, the club adjourned.

AVBV&N SPIRIT
Auburn is known far and wide for her Spirit, that Spirit that will
keep a team fighting after they have passed the limit of human
endurance, that Spirit that will keep the crowd behind the team no
matter what the score, that Spirit which has won games for Auburn
against overwhelming odds and has made the name of the Auburn
Tiger a thing to be respected and feared throughout the South.
The time has come for a display of this Spirit; to see whether
or not it is a tradition or merely an idle, boast. The support given
the Big Team at the Columbus game will be a sure indication ,of
the presence or absence of the famed old spirit.
Many of the students have professed themselves discouraged
and disappointed in the results of the last game or two. Did they
ever stop to think that the Tigers have been laboring under a terrific
schedule, one of the toughest menus ever placed before any
Tiger team? Do they think that a team can play in top form week
after week without a single lapse from one hundred percent efficiency?
If he does he is allowed another period of cogitation.
The Tulane game is a matter of past history. We were beaten,
and beaten by a good team. It is no disgrace to lose a game to the
team that represented Tulane this year. Defeat always comes hard,
more so after a series of victories, but after all, the real test of a
great team is whether or not it can rally after a setback.
No men ever fought harder than those who are representing the
Orange and Blue this year, and with the undivided support of the
student body, they will give the Georgia Bulldog a dose of very bitter
medicine.
Every student who is not among the lame, the halt, and the
blind, should be present in Columbus Saturday to cheer the Tigers
on to victory, and victory it will be if the Tigers are given a fair
share of the breaks. Most certainly no team will outfight the Plainsmen,
if they feel that every Auburn man is pulling for them.
So let's see every Auburn man, and woman too, board the Columbus
Special when it pulls out Saturday morning, and let's see
them stay behind Captain Fatty and his scrapping Tigers from
whistle to whistle. And when the game is over let the whole Chattahoochee
Valley, clean up to the famed Hills of Habersham and
equally famed Valley of Hall, resound with the mightiest WAR
EAGLE ever loosed from the throats of fifteen hundred Auburn-loving
students.
Is the Auburn Spirit dead? Never! The world will discover
Saturday that the Auburn Spirit is one that never dies, and that the
Auburn team is one that never stays licked.
Every Auburn man has heard that
Langdon Hall is a . very old and
historical building. Yet there are
few here who know how old the
structure really is or what an interesting
and unique history it
really has.
Langdon Hall was not originally
built for the A and M College, as
Auburn was then called, for its
life dated back some twefity years
before the founding of the college.
Although the exact date when it
was built can not be determined
without complicated research work,
it was built between 1840 and 1850.
It was first called "The Old Female
College Chapel," being built
for and for some years used as the
chapel and concert hall of the old
Masonic Female College. It faced
Gay Street on the plot of ground
where the Kappa Sigma tennis
court now is. The structure was
entirely of wood, with a large
wooden tower above.
The dimensions of the building
were the same as they are now.
The seating capacity was considered
enormous at that time. In
fact it was the largest auditorium
in East Alabama. Consequently the
great orators of pre-war days spoke
and debated here. Many eloquent
and fiery battles were fought to a
finish here between the Democrats
and "Know-nothings." Upon all
such occasions the Old Female College
Chapel was packed with enthusiastic
audiences from many
counties. In memoriam of those
great old days, the following lines
are inscribed on a bronze plate in
the southwest corner of Langdon
Hall.
"In this Hall, then located upon
another site, in the great political
debates immediately preceding the
Civil War, spoke David Clopton,
Thomas J. Judge and Wm. L. Yancy,
of Alabama; Seaborn Jones, Benjamin
H. Hill, Robert Toombs and
Alexander H. Stephens, of Georgia;
William T. Brpwnlowe, of Tennessee."
The building was bought by the
college and in 1881 was torn down
and put up again at its present
site, a smaller tower replacing the
old one. Several years later the
building was veneered with brick.
In doing this the windows were
made a little narrower . and the
tower taken down. When the brick
foundation was laid the building
was raised. Stone steps were made.
The wide concrete steps were built
in recent years.
The room underneath Langdon
Hall was first a wood shop, and
continued to be used as such for
many years. Until last year, home
economics was taught here. This
year the rooms are used for the
Y. M. C. A., Student Government,
and Plainsman.
After "the fire," i. e., when the
Main Building burned down, the
seats were taken out and the hall
divided by temporary partitions
into six recitation rooms. This,
however, was dispensed with as
soon as more room could be found.
Since then it has continued to be
the assembly hall for the entire
student body. Many polished and
famous orators have addressed Auburn
student bodies in this famed
Hall..
After the structure was veneered
with brick it was named "Langdon
Hall" in honor of Col. C. C. Langdon
of Mobile, who was a member
of the original board of trustees.
Col. Langdon was always present
at board meetings and took great
interest in the work.
Langdon Hall is Auburn's most
precious possession. It is traditionally
revered as a monument to
all that its sileift walls have seen
| and heard.

The following clipping tells something
of a visit made by a party of
Auburn men, to Columbus, Ga., a
few days ago:
AUBURN—or the Alabama Polytechnic
Institute, to give it its popular
street name—was represented
in Columbus yesterday by an interesting
and distinguished delegation.
The personnel of which was
as follows: Dr. George Petrie, Dean
of history; Dr. A. St. C. Dunstan,
professor of electrical engineering,
and Professor A. W. Reynolds, instructor
in history. These professors
didn't look near so awesome
and unapproachable as their titles
might indicate, for they were a decidedly
genial lot, and caused us
to forget our troubles for fully ten
minutes yesterday.
Accompanying these representatives
as guide, philosopher, and
friend came Emmett P. Smith, formerly
of Columbus, and as fine as
ever.
The Auburn Delegation wanted
to see first hand some of the spots
in this immediate vicinity rich in
Indian history, and they had an
interesting day of it, including a
run out to Fort Mitchell, in which
neighborhood the famous Indian
city of Cowetertown was located.

VET. COLLEGE
OBTAINS DOGS
Perhaps you have been wondering
these last few days where so
many dogs came from that have
been seen running promiscously
about over the campus. In order
that numerous experiments might
be carried out with live specimens,
the Veterinary Department obtained
forty dogs from the Columbus
dog pound to be used by classes in
their laboratory work. Dr. Mc-
Adory will use some of them in dissecting
work in anatomy. Dr.
Covington will use some in physiological
demonstration work.
Dr. Patterson, the canine specialist,
plans to determine the most
effective cure of Follicular mange.
His experiments will be conducted
with Bactrin. Local application,
and a combination of the two. Another
experiment that will be carried
on by Dr. Patterson is a search
for a means from which puppies
may be freed from round worms
without injury to the puppy. Dr.
Patterson hopes to find this harmless
remedy in using Salol.

numerous varieties of foreign apples
were introduced and put on
test. Among them was the Pas-man.
The trees were Under obsery
tion for a time up until three yea
ago when detail records were start'
ed and have been kept since on'
the production of these trees. Dur-j
ing these three years, according]
to L. M. Ware, of the Horticultural
Department here, the Pasman has
outclassed them all, and has provl
en its special adaption to Alabama
condition's. The first year that records
were kept on this tree it
yielded twenty-seven bushels, and
the second year, eight bushels, and
the third year, thirty-two bushels.
This is probably the only Pasman
tree in the State, or in the South,
and accurate records are being
kepf"-of its production and behavior
with an intention of encouraging
its growth in the State:
The fruit is yellowish-green in
color, medium to large in size, excellent
in quality, and with a flavor
"All its own" that makes it
excellent for eating purposes.
In a class in Horticulture several
of the leading varieties of apples
were fasted and examined and the
class decided unanimously in favor
of the Pasman.
HARMLESS SNAKES IN
ZOOLOGY DEPARTMENT
A. I. E. E. MEETING
At their regular meeting on November
5, the local branch of the
American Institute of Electrical
Engineers had as the single feature
of their program two motion pictures,
which were supplied by the
General Electric Company. This
company lends pictures of an electrical
nature to engineering schools-free
of charge.
Both pictures were excellent
from both an instructive and interest
standpoint. The first was named
the Electrical Giant. It showed
the construction of a very large
steam turbine. It also showed by
graphical methods a comparison
of horses and this turbine.
The second picture was the Potter's
Wheel. It showed the various
methods of making insulators for
both high and low potential insulation.
Everything comes out all right
-in the movies.
Knowledge without action is like
a sail without wind.
What was good enough for my
father is not good enough for me.
Only good men can get good
will.
Everything is relative—even
truth.
Som.8 people aren't as mean as
they look.
During the last month several
snakes have been brought into the
Zoology laboratory, where they
have been kept alive and left to be
tamed for the joy of the students.
They are all of the non-venomous
type so their presence is not to be
dreaded. The marjority of the
snakes become tamed very easily
and do not object to being petted
as they are not anxious to strike.
Although they are all more or less
able to bite, the bite is not painful
and the results of such an attack
are not harmful.
Of the non-poisonous snakes that
were collected and that are now
alive in the laboratory are: Two
spreading adders, two whip snakes,
one black snake, one chicken
snake, two ring-necked snakes, a
red bellied snake, and a glass snake
or slow-worm.
All of the above are very beneficial
except in the case of the
chicken snake which feeds on
chickens, eggs, and small birds..
All of the others feed chiefly on
rodents of different types and insects,
so they are useful and should
be protected.
Black snakes are beneficial in
that they have been known to kill
and eat rattlesnakes, water moca-sins,
and copperheads, as well as
other species of snakes. And where
the poisonous snakes are common
the black snake should be protected,
although it may steal an occasional
egg or small chick.
Professor Robinson says, "Protect
the beneficial snakes and in
that way do away with a number
of the destructive pests we have.
It is not hard to over-come the fear
and abhorrence that one normally
has toward the legless creatures of
the field and stream. However
the poisonous ones should be killed.
There arc only three of this
nature in this region, namely: the
rattlers, the copperheads, and the
water-mocassins."

And scratch your wool.
And throw your bull,

THE PLAINSMAN 4
History of Auburn
Written for U. D. C. Chapter
by Mrs. J. A. Kernodle
In the fall of 1836 a Mr. John
Harper and his son Tom, set out
from their home in Wilkes County,
Georgia, seeking a new home in
Alabama. The trip from Georgia
to Alabama had to be made on
horse back. The travelers spent
the nights with people along the
way. One night they chanced to
stop with a Mr. Taylor and family
in Jones County, Georgia. In this
family there was a beautiful young
daughter, just home from Wesleyan
College. A mutual friendship sprang
up between the young people which
later ripened into love. The Harpers
proceeded on their way to
this part of Alabama which was
claimed by the Creek Indians.
Judge Harper was so pleased with
this section that he made a treaty
with the Indians, and in a friendly
and just way traded with them,
and they immediately gave him
possession and moved towards
Loachapoka, Notasulga and Tus-kegee.
According to these facts
Judge Harper can be regarded as
founder of our little village.
HOW THE VILLAGE WAS NAMED
Mr. Sim Perry a civil engineer
was engaged by Mr. Harper to survey
the land and plan the village.
After some months of hard work
the surveying was done. People
from afar heard of the new and
wonderful city that was to be, and
that it was proposed to be an educational
center, so families from
North and South Carolina, Georgia
and other states began coming in.
Up to this time the town had no
name, but when it was well under
construction Judge Harper and
young Tom returned to their former
home to bring their family and
caravan of negroes. They again
stopped at the Taylor home.
Young Tom had not forgotten the
beautiful Miss Taylor. He said to
her, "We have settled in East Alabama
and our new town has no
name; will you propose one?" She
enthusiastically exclaimed, "Name
it Auburn, Sweet Auburn, loveliest
village of the plains." She was
reading Goldsmith's "Deserted Village,"
and Auburn' was chosen,
hence our little city was named by
Miss Lizzie Taylor.
THE FIRST HOUSE
Tom brought Miss Taylor here
as his bride and they lived in the
first frame house erected here,
where the Thomas Hotel now
stands, and was known as the Tavern.
Judge Harper was a generous
far sighted man and did much for
the advancement of the town which
he founded. He gave lots for the
Methodist and Baptist Churches, also
land for the cemetery, and a
lot where the Kappa Sigma house
now stands he gave for a female
college which was later built and
called the Masonic Female College.

building and many young women
graduated there. It was the Chapel
of this college that was moved
and brick veneered and is today
Langdon Hall.
A PIONEER RAILROAD
About 1847 the railroad was
built through Auburn which gave
quite an impetus to the growth and
development of the town. Judge
Harper had the contract for building
the railroad but did not live
to see the work completed. The
road was built to West Point by
the slaves of a Mrs. Jordan, great
grand-mother of our Mrs.. Gilbert.
Stage coaches were used before the
railroad was built. Most of the
citizens here were men of means
and owned their own vehicles and
traveled wherever they wished to
go.
Judge Harper built the two story
house on the lot where Mrs. Myrick
now lives..It was afterwards bought
by Hon. Wm. F. Samford, father of
Governor Samford, Mrs. Myrick
and Miss Mary Samford.
EARLY SETTLERS
Among the early settlers were
quite a number of ancestors of our
present citizens, the Dillards,
Grouts, Glenns, Hollifields, Reeses,
Drakes and Frazers. There were
many stores, dwellings and a carriage
and wagon factory, and three
newspapers.
Along educational lines Auburn
was recognized as a leader. Besides
the Masonic Female College
there was Slaton's Boys' Academy,
which drew boys from every southern
state and was considered the
finest of all southern academies.
Major Slaton, founder of the school,
was for years superintendent of
Atlanta city schools. In this academy
was offered an attractive
course of study and had an average
yearly attendance of 150 boys. Every
Friday there was speaking at
the academy to which outsiders
were invited. Occasionally social
affairs were arranged so that the
boys might meet the girls from the
Masonic College.

PIPE BENDS GET AROUND MANY DANGER POINTS
Good pipe-line engineering employs pipe
bends in many places in preference to elbow
fittings and expansion joints.
In steam lines which feed reciprocating
engines, for instance, the pulsating flow of
steam makes the use of pipe bends at right
angle turns almost imperative to avoid hammering.
In straight runs of piping subject
to temperature variations, pipe expansion
bends are the most satisfactory means of
taking up expansion and contraction.
Pipe bends of any form reduce the strains
which are usually the cause of leaks atjoints.
They must be properly designed, however,
and made to fit into place without forcing.
Otherwise dangerous strains may be set up
in them, completely offsetting the advantages
derived through their use.
Investigations carried on by Crane Co. have
uncovered much information of value about
pipe bends. The results are summed up
in complete data tables that form an interesting
chapter of Crane catalog No. 51. If
this book is not in your files, we will be

The Tiger's opponent of next
Saturday, namely the Georgia Bulldog,
journeyed to Charlottesvijle
and took the Virginia Cavaliers in
tow by the score of 7 to 0. The
score was expected to be much
higher but the Virginians fought
hard to stem off the attack of the
Crackers. Much of the credit for
victory must go to Teany Randall*
while the other Georgians covered
themselves with glory.
Georgia has had a very successful
season and bids fair to put in
a determined bid for honors when

have won six out of seven games,
and have been scored on but twice.

a majority of the offensive
work, Doug also was a tower of

punting and also the returning of
the enemy kicks. Otherwise from
this he had a dull afternoon. The

Boozer II Arrives
Auburn has long been noted as
the school of good centers. Any
school would be glad to boast of
a Pitts, Caton, and Lawrence, not
to mention innumerable other good
pivot men. And now there has
arrived on the scene, another prospective
All-Southern center, in the
person of His Majesty, John Em-mett
Pitts, Jr.
Young Pitts arrived at the Village
of the Plains last Friday morning,
and as a result Coach Pitts'
genial smile extended from ear to
ear as he received the congratulations
of his friends. Who knows,
but in 1940 or thereabouts, the
present students will come back as
distinguished alumni and cheer
loudly and long for "Boozer II",
the greatest of all Auburn centers?
Speaking Of Sports
Football mathematics: Two forward
passes plus two fumbles equal
four touchdowns.
At that you can't blame the other
ones for making the touchdowns
on recovered fumbles if they can't
do it through the line. Teams have
tried for seven games to do something
to the Auburn line and have
been unsuccessful in their efforts.
Tulane surely must be given credit
for the support given their team.
When a crowd like that covers the
distance between New Orleans and
Montgomery, it is not hard to guess
whether or not there is a Tulane
Spirit.
It is a wonder that the Auburn-
Tulane game was written up at all.
The staid old sports writers up in
the press box seemed to lose interest
in the battle after the co-ed
cheer leaders started to whoop
things up for Tulane.
The Centre Colonels will make
their annual pilgrimage to Birmingham
this Saturday, but the opposition
this time will be furnished
by Alabama. While the Colonels
have had a fairly good record this
season they are far from being the
Colonels of old. 'Bama should be
the victor by two touchdowns.
Our old friend, the Army Mule,
found the Florida Alligator a tough
\pecimen, and had a hard time
winning 14 to 7. Ark Newton intercepted
a forward pass and managed
to limp 97 yards for a touchdown.
Pretty good for a cripple.

Medicos. Moon Ducote's Loyola
team was beaten 26 to 0, which
was considerably better than the
score first reported.

In seven games this season "Red"
Grange has played two hundred
and ninety-five minutes and has
advanced the ball twelve hundred
and sixty yards. This gives Harold
a gaining record of four yards per
minute, which is quite a steady advance.
Grange has contributed

With 8,000 people looking on,
the Green Wave of Tulane won
their first victory from Auburn
last Saturday, the score being 14
to 6. The largest crowd in the
history of Cramton Bowl saw the
Tigers stage a magnificent comeback
in the last period, scoring one
touchdown and generally outplaying
the fast weakening Greenies.
While Auburn supporters were
surprised and dismayed at the result
of the game, they took some
comfort from the fact that Tulane
probably has the best team in the
history of the school, one that may
yet put in a strong claim for championship
honors.
Buckshot started off the game in
the usual way by booting the ball
over the goal, giving Tulane possession
of the pigskin on her twenty
yard line. After Lorio had tried
the line once and found it firm,
Peggy Flournoy punted to Fenie
Crane on the latter's thirty-five
yard line, Fenie returning the ball
ten yards. After the Tigers had
made two yards on two bucks, the
Greenies were fined five yards for
over-eagerness in breaking through
the Tiger line.
On the first down Williams
rammed the line for a one yard
gain, and then came the explosion.
On the next play, several Tulane
men broke through the instant the
ball was snapped, and out of the
mass came the ball bouncing merrily.
One "Doc" Wilson, sturdy
end for the Greenies, swooped
down on the ball and bore it swiftly
goalward, for the first touchdown.
How so many Tulane men
got to the Auburn backs as soon as
the ball did is somewhat mysterious,
but as they were not called
offside it must be assumed that
they were not.
Somewhat surprised at the sudden
turn of events, the Tigers did
not get together for the next three
plays and as a result the Greenies
threw a bad sqare into the Auburn
ranks. Lautenschlager received
Williams' kick on the goal line and
galloped back thirteen yards before
being halted. Then up rose
little Lorio and skidded off tackle
for 34 yards, and quite naturally,
a first down. On the next play
Flournoy tacked around left end
for 36 yards, and put the stands in
a state of temporary paralysis
when it looked as if he had passed
Crane. However the safety man
held on and Tulane was given a
first down on Auburn's seventeen
yard line.
Then came the tightening ofthe
Tiger line. On the next play they
tore the Tulane line to shreds and
annoyed Lautenschlager so much
that he fumbled, and Red Harkins
pounced on the ball, the road being
too crowded, however, for him
to duplicate Wilson's touchdown.
Starting on their own twenty
yard line, Allen, Harrison, Crane,
and Williams carried the ball to
the forty-six yard line on successive
bucks. Here the offensive
halted temporarily, and an exchange
of punts followed, Flournoy
getting off a beautiful sixty-five
yard boot, the ball going out
of bounds on the Tiger five yard
mark.
Pea Green came in the game at
this time and punted from behind
the goal to the middle of the field.
Here the Tulanemen conducted
three experiments on the Auburn
line, and found it impassable.
Flournoy dropped back to punt,
but Batch Ollinger got in the way
and blocked the aforementioned
punt, and Red Harkins again recovered
the ball for Auburn. About
this time the first period ended
with the Orleaneans in the lead.
Tulane started off the second
period in form by being offside
and incurring the usual penalty
for their anxiety to stop the Tiger
backs. Turner came in for Allen
and made five yards through the
line, but the Tigers still lacked
five when the fourth down came.
However the head linesman was
strictly on the job and fined the
Greenies another five yards.
Green then sent the crowd into
a state of mild insanity by loping
through the line for twenty yards
being downed on the five yard
line. Turner rammed center
for two yards and Crane
carried the ball to the one foot
line. The band struck up "Touchdown
Auburn" and the writers
began to speculate as to just
who would be allowed to carry
the ball across. As it happened,
however, four men were given a
chance to carry it across, and although
they were helped along a
few inches by another off-side penalty
the ball still lacked a bit of
going over after seven tries. The
Tulane guards piled up the center
of the line into a compact mass,
and it was doubtful if the Piedmont
Limited could have passed
through. Truly a magnificent
stand, this work of the Tulane line,
and it should go down in the annals
of football as one of the really
great bits of defensive work.
After this, and until the end of
the third period, the ball passed
backward and forward, with the
Tigers making several other
thrusts at the Tulane goal while
the Greenies were unable to do
much damage to the Auburn ranks.
The first time the Tulanemen had
really gotten into dangerous territory
was in the last part of the
third period. Salter fumbled and
Doc Wilson again recovered for
Tulane. The Tulane backs managed
to advance the ball three yards
in three downs, and then the Tigers
received one of their few penalties
for off-sides, giving the Orleaneans
a first down.
When the final period opened,
Tulane had advanced the ball six
yards in two downs. Lester Lautenschlager
at this juncture threw
one of those "Hope" passes—the
kind you hope somebody will
catch, but which you doubt exceedingly.
This time his hopes were
well grounded, for Morgan raced
way out into open trritory, took
the ball on the tips of his fingers
and continued on over the goal
line, Lautenschlager adding the extra
point.
Then up rose the Tigers in their
wrath, and the game was Auburn's
from then on. It was a great rally,
but timed a bit too late. After an
exchange of punts, the Tigers
found themselves with the ball in
midfield. Peterson tossed a pass
i
Tigers Battering Ram
SEA LION TURNER
Fullback
to Green for six yards. Encouraged
by the success of the first pass,
Pete tossed another. Green juggled
this, so McFadden completed it
for him, giving the Tigers a first
down. Allen next tried his hand
at the passing game, and the faithful
Green completed this one for
thirteen yards. A further movement
of the chains was necessitated
when Salter hit center for nine
yards, and Peterson sneaked
through guard for five more.
With the ball on Tulane's seven
yard line, Dutch Salter was given
the ball and instructed to carry it
over. This he did, in two tries,
thus completing an unbroken
march of fifty yards.
After this everything was over
but the shouting, and there was
plenty of that. Tulane received the
ball, and by desperate playing
managed to keep it, for they had
good reasons for not letting it get
into the hands of the Tigers. Flournoy
and Lorio manufactured two
first downs, and so ended the
game.
The game could not have been
called a great one. There were
plenty of thrills, but there was also
plenty of loose playing. Only in
the last period did the Tigers play
up to form, and then they demonstrated
their superiority over the
Tulane team. However the Greenies
have a great team-, as has been
said before, and the support accorded
them by the Tulane students
could not have been surpassed.
Auburn does not feel happy
over the game but everything has
been forgotten now, and the Georgia
team is the only one in existence,
as far as Auburn is concerned.

Rats Annex Hard
Fought Game
Our own rats emerged victorious
last Friday in a game featured by
hard playing and the frequency of
fumbles. The Tiger Cubs fought
every inch of ground, maintaining
a determined defense throughout
the entire game. The first year
men from the Hilltops of the Magic
City brought down a well coached
team which combined speed in
the backfield and a well rounded
line. Several times they broke
through the line to smear plays or
opened up gaping holes through
which their fast and shifty backs
plunged. All credit, however, must
be given to our own scrappy eleven
who have helped to penetrate
the pall of gloom cast over the
plains by our big team's unfortunate
defeat at the hands of Tulane's
Green Wave last Saturday. The
Freshman team showed a great improvement
over the aggregation
that the Howard Bullpups outplayed
so thoroughly a week ago. There
is a wealth of latent ability in the
line, while the backfield is improving
with each performance.
The Orange and Blue machine
registered its first counter in the
first few minutes of play after they
had elected to kickoff. Gaining
possession of the ball on about the
thirty yard line, they .marched
straight on down the field with
it, using smashing line plays- with
Granger bearing the brunt of the
attack.. This stocky little line
plunger plowed through the heavy
Panther line time after time for
substantial gains. It was Granger,
too, who produced the final drive
which in turn produced the -first
touchdown. The second quarter
seemed to be a fumbling match between
the Tiger Rats and the Birmingham
lads with the honors about
evenly divided. The Southerners
probably outpunted our best but
in the ground-gaining department
we had a slight edge on them.
During the intermission between
halves the "huge crowd of loyal
supporters" was entertained by
the inimitable Rat cheer-leader.
He led in several rousing cheers,
but by far the more vociferous were
those given for "Boozer" Pitts, Jr.
The second half opened with the
Southern Rats kicking over the goal
line. It seemed as if the Rats had
started another drive when they
got two first downs in succession
but Clay Jackson had instilled some
of the famous Auburn fighting
spirit into his line and the Rats
were forced to punt. Shortly afterwards
Granger intercepted a forward
pass and returned the pigskin
to midfield. In the third
quarter the Rats launched a deadly
aerial attack which proved disastrous
to their opponents. They
put across the second marker after
Ellis had snatched the spheroid out
of the atmosphere with a flying
leap which carried him above the
head of the little group of Panthers
surrounding him. This was
perhaps the most outstanding play
of the game.
In naming the individual stars
from an Auburn standpoint the
name of "Pop" Patterson must
needs head the list for it was his

are always almost even when the

The Tigers have not ' forgotten
last year's game. The Auburnites
were in Georgia's territory almost
the entire game, decisively outplayed
the Bulldogs, and scored
fourteen first downs to three. Only
the great defensive work of the
Georgians in a pinch prevented an
Auburn score. And then came the
most heartbreaking touchdown of
the season, when Day stepped into
the path of a forward pass and
conveyed it sixty-five yards in the
wrong direction for the first; last,
and only touchdown of the game.
Nobody in Auburn has forgotten
that game, and as a result, everybody
is keen to see the Bulldogs
taken in tow this time. The Tu-lane
defeat has lowered Auburn's
stock in many places, but every Au-burnite
has forgotten all about that,
and are thinking only in terms of
beating Georgia.
Probably no two schools are better
friends off the gridiron than
Auburn and Georgia, and certainly
no two schools are more bitter enemies
when on the field of battle.
But all of the enmity is expended
on the field, and when the game is
over, the Tiger and Bulldog are
true pals, and Auburn men are
to be found rooting for Georgia at
every game, and • vice-versa. The
Auburn-Georgia game calls for all
that is fine and manly in the two
teams, and the result is a. hard-fought
clean battle.

backing up of the line that saved
the game several times. Granger
was the chief threat of the Freshman
backfield and his ability to
size up plays was called upon several
times. Ellis also proved to be
arsenic when it came to snatching
down passes, while Hardwick was
a close second. In the line Primm
at guard and Scott at tackle performed
very creditably. For the
Hilltoppers Beck proved to be the
chief groundgainer until he was
knocked cold in the third quarter.
Bowden, giant tackle also wrought
