Staff Heads Of Plainsman
At Cincinatti Convention
A delegation of five Auburn
students representing the student
semi-weekly newspaper, The Auburn
Plainsman, left by bus Tuesday
evening to attend the annual
three-day meeting of the National
Scholastic Press Association in
Cincinnatti, Ohio, which opens on
Thursday.
Those making the trip are Edwin
Godbold, Auburn, editor-in-chief;
Charles Grisham, Athens,
Business Manager; J. H. Wheeler,
Pisgah, Associate Editor; William
H. Troup, Kankakee, 111., Sports
Editor; and L. E. Foster, Birmingham.
One of the convention highlights
will be an address by Raymond
Clapper, famed newspaper and
radio commentator on people and
events in the nation's capital.
"Confessions of a Washington
Columnist" will be subject discussed
by Mr. Clapper who is
president of the famed "Gridiron
Club" • and a University of
Kansas graduate, he will tell the
assembled college journalists all
about what goes on behind-the-scenes
in Washington.
Knights Will Play
For 'A' Club Jook
The "A" Club will feature something
new in dances Saturday
night when it presents a 50 cent
dance at the WPA Hall at 9 o'clock.
This low-admission price
dance is being given by the "A"
Club in order to furnish high-class
entertainment to those students
who do not feel able to pay $1.00
to attend a dance. If this one is
supported by the students to a
great extent to justify future dances
of the same type, more will
follow at later dates.
Music will be furnished by the
always-popular Auburn Knights,
whose marked improvement in
recent weeks has been the source
of much campus comment.
With a dearth of dances existent
this year because of the Interfra-ternity
Council's limitation of the
number of dances, the "A" Club
is taking an active part in providing
entertainment for Auburn students.
Ags To Celebrate
With Annual Fair
At 7:30 Tonight
By Dan Hollis
The Ag Fair, an annual attraction
presented by members of the
Agriculture Club, will be presented
to the public tonight at the amphitheater
in the WPA village at
7:30. This year's fair promises well
to be the biggest and best Ag
Fair to be presented since the inaugural
of that event several
years ago. Plans have been developed
and completed during the
past few weeks, and an interesting
and original fair is in store for
students, faculty members, and
townspeople.
Senior fair manager Douglas
McVay has announced that many
new and unusual features will be
of interest to the public in general.
Many original and interesting
exhibits from each department
of the School of Agriculture
will be on display. The exhibits
will be arranged in booths set up
in the cabins surrounding the amphitheater.
Miss Mabel Gray of Abbeville
was selected by the members of
the Ag Club as Queen of Harvest
for the colorful event. Miss Gray,
a sophomore in Home Economics,
is an outstanding beauty on the
campus and is sure to grace the
fair with much charm. During the
course of the evening, the Queen
of Harvest will be crowned by H.
P. Thomas, president of the Ag
Club, in a very impressive ceremony.
Other attractions to be presented
on the evening program include
a mock faculty, a hog-calling
contest, F. F. A. band, a quartet,
the awarding of the Alpha
Gamma Rh8 Freshman Scholarship
Cup, greased pole climbing,
a tobacco auctioneer, and other
features.
Cardinal Key To Give Tea
For Women Students
Cardinal Key cordially invites
all women students whose birthdays
are in the months of July,
August, September, and November
to attend a tea at Smith Hall
Sunday afternoon from 3:30 to
4:30.
During the year there will be a
series of these receptions to help
girls of different sororities, non-sororities,
and different courses to
become acquainted with each other
and with women of the faculty.
R.O.T.C. Boys From
Mars Jolt Auburn
By Herbert Martin Jr.
It seems that the Sunday night
Martian invasion of the United
States, via radio and the Columbia
Broadcasting System, did not
miss the Auburn campus entirely.
Two inhabitants of the Kappa
Alpha house, Bill Swift, and Doz-ier
Corr, a pledge, went from the
radio straight to church and came
within inches of giving up the
proverbial ghost.
At Wittel Zoo, the inmates called
on Mr. Wittel for protection
and advice, and Jane Bowen made
a beeline for the telephone and
woke up the home folks in Lynchburg,
Va. While no names have
been definitely ascertained, it is
rumored that two charming misses
grabbed all of their available
clothes and packed up to go home.
The local telephone office reported
a definite increase in calls
from the various "zoos" to the fraternity
houses, and it is reported
that Dr. Allison was consulted
as to the possibility of producing
an American-made "death-ray"
for defense against the mighty
"forces" from the belligerent planet.
NOTICE
There will be a meeting of the
Y. M. C. A. Monday night at 7 in
the Student Center.
Intramural Football
Leaders Announced
Winners of six of the intramural
touch football leagues have al-
I ready been decided, the other two
: leagues having teams tied for
first place.
As a result of a 6-0 win in a
tie play-off game, the Pi K A's
are now tied with the ATO's for
the lead in League I. Both teams
have won three and lost one. The
Pi K A's were defeated by the
Delta Sig's while the ATO's owe
their lone loss to the Pi K A's.
The two teams will meet again to
determine the winner of the league.
Sigma Nu, with a clear slate of
four wins and no losses has secured
first place in League II.
League III is still unsettled,
with the K A's, Kappa Sigs, and
Theta Chi's being in a three-way
tie for first place.
SPE has annexed the crown in
League IV with four wins in as
many starts.
In the independent division, all
league winners have been decided.
Thach came out on top in League
I, Wittel in League II, Terrell
paced League III, and Rew's
Wildcats took the title in League
IV. All four of these teams are
undefeated.
According to Billy McGehee,
chairman of the Sports Committee
of the Interfraternity Council, all
league winners must be decided
before next Sunday when play-off
of winners will begin. A double
elimination play-off, the same
type as was used for baseball last
year, will be used.
Pavement Pounders Arise,
Depose Editor, Business
Manager Of Paper
Pandemonium reigned at the
Plainsman office Tuesday night
following ouster proceedings instigated
by an irate Plainsman
staff against Ed Godbold and
Charles Grisham, so-called Editor
and Business Manager of the
chronicle respectively.
Aroused by the growing power
of these two slave-drivers, the
Plainsman Staffs held a secret
meeting Tuesday night while Ye
Ed and Ye B. M. were tearing
their hair at the results of Tuesday's
issue. Fearing a complete
dictatorship of the editorial page
and a corner on all the advertising
copy, a joint resolution was
drawn up condemning the moguls
of the Plainsman for their un-gentlemanly
conduct and demanding
that they be tarred and feathered
and railroaded in any general
direction out of Auburn.
When these two copy-killers
appeared for work following supper,
they were met at the door of
the Plainsman office by their
stooges en masse, armed to the
teeth and in a high fever of indignation.
Demanding entrance to
their holy rooms, they were barred
by the formidible mass of pavement
pounders and ad-grabbers
who had appeared on the scene.
Assured that the Editor and Business
Manager were at their complete
mercy, the spokesman for the
revolutionists read the Riot Act,
which went in part as follows:
"Resolved: that the present Editor
and Business Manager of the
Plainsman are guilty of gross violation
of all rules of ethics in
management of the student publication;
that the Editor and Business
Manager were in no way
qualified to extensively blue-pencil
copy or brow-beat members
of their respective staffs to the
point of strict censorship; and that
their insatiable lust for power and
authority, incurable lack of taste
in choice of profanity, and lack
of interest in the literary effort
and salesmanship in their stooges
has made it almost impossible to
bring about cooperation from
members of the staffs in any matter
pertaining to the well-being
of the publication.

Tiger-Villanova
Will Be Feature
Tussle Saturday
By Boots Stratford
Those gallant Auburn Tigers,
minus the services of two ends,
with two first string guards on
the ailing list and the first string
quarterback afflicted with an ailing
leg, go forth to do battle with
the Villanova Wildcats tomorrow
afternoon in Shibe Park, Philadelphia.
Besides their woes due to injuries
and to losses from the team,
the Plainsmen face other troubles
in a corking good Villanova team.
The Wildcats have a well-rounded,
rugged team possessing an
AU-American end in John Wysoc-ki
and several other all star performers.
The men of Clipper Smith
have not been vanquished in their
last 15 starts, and they are not
due to take a tumble in this contest
according to any manner of
reasoning of forecasting.
This Wysocki is one of those
natural football players after the
manner of Jerry Dalrymple, former
Tulane great. He plays his
end in a wholly unorthodox and
instinctive manner, making tackles
out of position and following
the ball like a hawk. He does everything
expected of a goo dend,
and plenty of things not expected.
Hatch Howell, slashing Tiger
guard, was taken along on the
trip to the Quaker City, but he
will not play except in a case of
extreme emergency. Guard Junie
Burns is also on the injured list
with a bad ankle, and the starting
guards will be Walter Chandler
and Ernie Mills, with Ever-ette
Smith ready to go in and display
some more of the fiery brand
of ball that he showed in the Rice
affair.
Jim LeNoir, sophomore end, also
played a fine, aggressive game
against the Rice eleven, and he
might be given his chance to start
in place of one of the ends who
thought themselves more important
than the school. Oscar Bur-ford
will open at the other end.
Chester Bulger, burly tackle, was
shifted to end in scrimmage during
the week, and he will prob-
Plainsman Staffs, do hereby de- j a b l y see a good deal of service.
Getty Fairchild, by dint of his
smashing play in backing up the
Tiger line, is to open up in his center
position.
Other starters will be Old Reliable
Russell at left tackle, Bill
Nichols at the other tackle, Smith
at quarterback in place of Doctor
Pig Walker who is out with a bad
leg, and Kelly, O'Gwynne, and
Sitz making up the rest of the Tiger
rear works.
The Plainsmen may have lost
men to a greater extent than is
their just due, they may be battered
and bruised and train weary
and they may be the underdogs,
but they have not lost that great
Auburn spirit and that great Auburn
fighting spirit. We believe,
and firmly, that Auburn will beat
Villanova.
Disappears
CHARLES GRISHAM, former
Business Manager of the
Plainsman, who departed with
Ye ex-Editor for unknown parts
after fracas with Plainsman
Staffs.
clare that the offices of Editor
and Business Manager of the
Plainsman no longer exist and are
vacant. And we further declare
that it seems imminently necessary
to remove the Editor and
Business Manager from the plains
of Auburn for the good of the
college and the student body.
Without further ado, we demand
complete resignations to take effect
immediately."
The language used by the ex-
Editor and ex-Business Manager
following the reading of the ultimatum
is definitely unprintable,
but it is sufficient to say that they
departed immediately in a high
huff for parts unknown.
Univerified reports relate that
Sports Editor BUI Troup, Associate
Editor J. H. Wheeler, and L.
E. Foster, all said to be lieutenants
of the deposed members of the
staffs, departed in haste with their
leaders.
Department of Justice men,
trailing them to prevent reprisals
against the leaders of the riot, reported
that these men were last
seen headed in the direction of
Cincinatti, Ohio, where they hope
to protest their removal from office
through the Associated Collegiate
Press headquarters.
General Fowler telegraphed the
Plainsman office from his hideout
and stated that he would hold
in readiness several brigades of
bis boys to prevent further rioting
during the remainder of the
week.
'A' Club To Enforce
Raf Cap Rule
In a statement issued Wednesday
night the "A" Club has made
it plain that no freshmen—without
exception—will be excused
from wearing rat caps. Since there
has been no group to see to it
that rat caps are worn, the "A"
Club has shouldered that respon
sibility, and according to members,
intends to enforce it.
Those freshmen who do not
have caps can order them next
Monday and Tuesday at a table
which will be located at the main
gate. Payment must be made in
advance.
Since ODK Pep Week many of
the freshmen have been very careful
to wear theircaps at all times,
but there are still some who are
not making a practice of wearing
them.
The "A" Club is asking for the
cooperation and support of all fraternities
in seeing to it that rat
caps are worn. Since Pep Week
fraternities have joined almost unanimously
in enforcing rat cap
wearing among their freshmen.
However, recently several chapters
have become rather lax in
enforcement. Their continued sup
port, particularly on the part of
fraternity presidents, is desired in
the move by the "A" Club.
Exact methods of enforcement
have not been made public by the
"A" Club as yet, but it is expected
that they will be of such a nature
as to insure that recalcitrant
freshmen will cooperate.
Glomerata Poll
To Elect Co-Ed
'Miss Auburn'
The annual election of
"Miss Auburn," sponsored by
the Glomerata, is to be held
next Monday, according to an
announcement made today by
Perry Schwartz, Editor of the
1939 yearbook. The polls will
be situated at the Main Gate,
and the voting will start at
8:30 a. m. and continue till
4:30 p. m.
The election of "Miss Auburn"
was first held as a special feature
of the Glomerata of 1934, and
each year the Glomerata sponsors
this item of co-ed politics to
select a person representative of
the Auburn co-eds to head the
beauty section of the Glomerata.
All women students are eligible
to compete and must qualify above
everything else in beauty, popularity,
personality, and sportsmanship.
The announcement of the winner
will be made at the ODK-"A"
Club dance which will be held on
Saturday night, Dec. 10th, following
the Cake Race on that afternoon.
At the dance, the winners'
of cakes in the annual frosh distance
tussle will be given their
portions of pastry by the newly-elected
"Miss Auburn" and her
court, consisting of those co-eds
who will appear in the beauty section
of the Glomerata.
The poll will be under the supervision
of members of the Glomerata
staffs, and the judges of the
election will be the members of
the Publications Board, headed
by "Chief Stooge" Kirtley Brown.
At the same time, a poll will
be conducted by the Plainsman to
gather a concensus of student opinion
on features which are currently'
appearing in the Plainsman,
and to test student opinion
on the formation of a "Tiger
Club."
This election was originally
scheduled for last Monday, but
due to the fact that ballots had
not been printed, it was impossible
for it to be carried through
at that time.
The "You Be The Editor" section
of the ballot will enable
Plainsman readers to give criticisms
and suggestion on all features
of the paper.
Each student will be given one
ballot in each election on which
to east his vote, and no votes will
be accepted which are not signed.
All students in the college are
eligible to try their hand at making
their "x" marks on ballots.

Substitution
Due to the unfortunate dissapearance of
Ye Ed and Ye Business Manager, the reactionaries
of the Plainsman Staff have taken
over, and the cryptic comments which you
are forced to read in today's issue are but
the expressions of liberalism in the raw and
nature in the rough.
It is the misfortune of some people to have
thrust upon them a job which seems bigger
than they are, and upon some others it is
merely an obligation which they assume as
easily as they open a letter from home which
contains the long awaited check to subdue
long overdue bills. Which case applies here
to the remnants of Godbold's streamlined
tabloid getter-outer staff, I leave with you
to decide.
Until the at present indefinite date of return
of Godbold and Grisham, Roy Taylor
and John Godbold are in charge of the Editorial
Staff while Bob Armstrong is heading
the Business Staff.
Only The Beginning
The appearance of the first issue of "Manuscript,"
literary magazine of the Writers'
Club, has aroused favorable comment among
faculty and students. This is the initial attempt
of the organization to publish a magazine,
and they are rightly proud of the results.
According to members of the Club,
more issues will be published at frequent
intervals in the future.
While the initial issue is in mimeographed
form and lacks some of the "exterior refinements'
of the literary publications of many
colleges, it is still an excellent beginning and
will, it is, believed, furnish the nucleus a-round
which a permanent Auburn literary
magazine can be built.
All the writing in the first issue was done
by students, although the Club is open to
faculty members, too.
Congratulations to Editor J.. H. Wheeler
and the members of the Writers' Club and
best wishes for the continued success of
"Manuscript."
Freshman Politicians
In the aftermath of the freshman elections,
the Plainsman adds its congratulations to
those lucky enough and deserving enough to
come out on top of the heap.
It is a new initiation to you in your first
year at Auburn to participate in campus politics,
for, as you have perhaps already learned,
politics as played here has a role which
reaches further than the rounds of "politicking"
and the ballot box.
Politics at Auburn has long been an integral
part of the activities in which a large
portion of the student body plays its hand,
whether it be on the surface or far underneath.
What goes on in the mind of a candidate
competing for office is an unknown
quantity, and the gain from winning the
election may be just as unknown a quantity;
losing in an election may be considered a
definite loss of prestige. But sometimes evidence
of popularity is not bought in terms
of ballots at the hands of persons to whose
knowledge the names of most of the candidates
was more of an ignorance.
But these ideas are far from the point of
such an election.
The willingness to stand before the crowd,
to shoot for a higher goal than the status
of an ordinary student, is a commendable
attitude, and to both winner and loser it is
an experience that is as great a builder of
character as any course offered in the curriculum
of the college. Playing the game of
politics, fair or foul, is an experience that
cannot be gained from sitting on the sidelines.
And the wide range of association with
other students in your own class is worth its
weight in Fort Knox gold.
Whether you won or lost, let us hope that
your broadened experience in tact and keenness
of mind has been enriched and not degraded,
a victory and not a defeat.
Four-Legged Rats
The amazing fertility of destructive pests
has given rise to a new profession—the scientific
exterminator. Operating under a license
or under municipal regulations, he is an expert
in the use of deadly salts, poisons, drug's,
and lethal gases, and a student of the habits
of various undesirable animals.
It's about time Auburn imported one of
these men to get rid of some of the local
rats and mice. Practically every fraternity
house, and certainly every boarding house, in
the town is infested with vermin of some
kind. This writer walked into a room in a
fraternity house recently and discovered
that there were no less than three mice in the
waste basket. They had so completely gorged
themselves on apple peelings that they
were unable to climb back up the steep side.
Did you know that by carrying bubonic
plague, hydrophobia, paratyphoid, and other
diseases, rats have killed more people
than all the wars since the birth of Christ?
Last year the Department of Agriculture
estimated that rats destroyed $200,000,000
worth of property in the United States alone.
Don't think you can fool these Auburn rats
and mice with ordinary traps and poisons,
either. The metallic flavor of arsenic, for
example, instantly warns him of danger, and
after one whiff he won't touch it. And the
way of a rat with a trap is one of the marvels
of animal psychology. A foxy old rat will
either ignore the trap altogether or set about
finding a way to solve it. Veteran exterminators
have reported that they have watched
old grandfather rats give demonstrations of
trap springing to youngsters. Scientists also
say that there is often an official "taster" in
the rat colony. This martyr samples the questionable
food. If he dies, his death serves as
a warning to his fellows. At times they drag
his body along the tribal runways, thus communicating
the danger to the whole rodent
community.
Another method, and probably the most
effective one, which some exterminators use
would be greatly appreciated here. These
baits are barium carbonate and thallium sulphate,
and they not only kill the rat, they
get him out of the house. Both of them being
tasteless, the pest eats his fill before
he discovers anything. Then he desperately
seeks outer air. Both drugs are extremely
dangerous in the hands of a novice. However,
a scientific exterminator with an ample
supply of these drugs would be a sensation
in Auburn. He could make the old "Pied
Piper" look like an amateur. J.B.T.

ACCORDING TO REPORTS
some of the fellows must have had
a good time early this week when
the annual "spook night" party
was thrown all over Auburn. The
sad part about the whole thing
is that someone has to take the
conduct of a certain group and use
their example "as not being the
true Auburn Spirit." It seems like
the student body would be tired
of hearing the "Auburn Spirit"
connected in any way with this
group which is always doing something
to drag that spirit in the
wrong direction. From now on
when something undesirable happens
let's not speak of the incident
and the "Auburn Spirit" as being
in any way connected.
* * *
THE FRESHMEN seem to have
picked up where the last year politicking
left off. They not only resumed
the habit of handing out
cards asking for the well-known
vote, but they resorted to a number
of rather interesting tactics
to talk the fellows into voting for
them. Seen around the polls was
a little colored boy with a sign
hanging around his neck, walking
up and down on the school's best
plot of grass. He wasn't such a
big boy so I guess he just kinda
gave the grass a stoop instead of
breaking it down.
In another corner of the vote-getters
stomping ground was a
free shoe shine box under the able
management of two "shine boys."
Just above the shoe shine plant
there was a big sign beaming
forth telling the rats who to put
the vote on for the service. The
main trouble with this feature as
far as the candidate was concerned
lay in the fact that the rats
couldn't get to the stand for the
upper-classmen.

EVERY DOG HAS HIS DAY at
least in the case of Adolf Hitler.
Captain Fritz Weidamann, closest
aide to Hitler, was the commander
of the company in which Hitler
served as a private during the
World War.

IT WOULDN'T BE A SURPRISE
if the annual "graft" publication
which this year happens
to be the brain-child of two penny-
pinchers didn't have a page of
their book devoted to the big
scandal concerning the mighty

A Matter Of Ethics
When it comes down to brass tacks, is it
quite ethical for politicians to offer cigars,
cigarettes, chewing gum, and shoe shines in
exchange for votes?
Of late the Auburn Spirit has been much
maligned and kicked around by those who
associate it only with support of the football
team. However, it is true and always will
be true that an inseparable part of Auburn
and thus of the Spirit is the comparatively
small amount of emphasis which is placed
upon the money which a student's family possesses.
Here at Auburn the emphasis has always
been upon what a man is rather than
what he has. The man who can expend the
money for cigars, an automobile to haul the
voters in, and the other appurtenances which
are now seen at Auburn elections is taking
an advantage of the fellow who cannot afford
these expenditures and maybe is even
working his way through school.
Some of you would be surprised at the
number of students who disapprove of the
use of such tactics. Why don't you politicians,
freshmen, sophomores, and juniors, get
together and outlaw them?
Be on hand next Sunday night at 9:00 o'clock
to meet that great Tiger team when it
pulls in from Philadelphia.

666. SWING FANATICS HAD
THE CHANCE for a treat last
Tuesday night when Martha Raye
(on Bob Hope's program) fairly
oozed "OP Man River." You will
have to excuse our ignorance, for
we have been going around for
a number of years with the idea
that "Ol' Man River" was a song
with power and feeling, a song to
be sung with a tiny grain of imagination.
Oh, well, we will learn.
After all, swing is here to bray.
And, if swing-writers fail to turn
out enough music (yes, it has been
called music), then, of course, go
back and get a song that was written
for an entirely different purpose
and swing it! Swing the hell
out of it! Do like Martha Raye
and keep "Ol' Man River" trucking
along—or did she mean slushing
along?
However, here is a hot tip. Some
of the good old mountain music
that is not highbrow enough for
so-called sophisticates is much
more suited to swinging than "Ol'
Man River" or "Blue Danube."
Tune in some Saturday night and
compare. Except for the number
and price of the instruments,
there is not a great deal of difference
to be detected.
So, we are dumb when it comes
to music! AH right, we will grant
that we are ignorant of technicalities.
But we still say: "Let swing
write its own nerve-janglers and
not use music that was never
meant to be swung."

A Physics professor named Fozzil,
Who schneezed all the time

And stood up to ask,
"Do you want me to get me a

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Editor
The Auburn Plainsman
Dear Sir:
Don't you believe that the
Plainsman is helping to spread
much unwanted notoriety? I refer
to the many editorials and articles
on the damages done by certain
students in the name of the
Auburn Spirit.
Every school has a certain a-mount
of misled spirit. We can't
stop it by writing the guilty party
out. The type of person who is
causing all of our trouble probably
doesn't even read the things
written about him; and if he does,
he is the type of person who cannot
be touched by anything that
does not cause him personal discomfort.
I do think that it is a pity that
we do have people in our school
that have no sense of responsibility
to public and private property,
but I do not believe that we
should openly publish the fact and
spread it all over the country.
You know better than I that the
school paper is read in many other
places than in Auburn.
I know that I am judged a
crackpot by most of my associates,
but I believe that there is some
logic in my reasoning, as several
others have been heard to express
an opinion similar to mine. For
them, for me, and mainly for upholding
the good name of Auburn,
please publish this.
Yours truly,
Naughty Cleveland
NOTE: The following letter
was received by Charlie Burns,
member of the Plainsman staff,
from Mr. C. S. Culver, member
of the Board of Trustees of
Auburn. With Burns' permission
we print it.
Dear Charlie:
For some time I have planned to
write you, expressing my appreciation
for the Auburn Plainsman
which comes to me regularly. The
apparent neglect in writing, I assure
you, cannot be the measure
of my interest, having given the
Plainsman a very definite portion
of my reading period from week
to week.
While I know very little about
Before Tomorrow
By John Godbold
JAPAN is apparently going to
take over China, or at least the
most important parts of it, almost
en masse. What the United States
will do about it is an important
question.
If Japan does gain political and
economic control of China, the
United States will lose most of her
markets there, which are quite extensive.
The Americans would like
to protest the markets, but the
United States must negotiate with
Japan at a handicap for we depend
upon the Japanese to buy a
large per cent of our cotton crop
—and they know it.
* * *
THE GAS TAX earmarking a-mendment,
which will be voted on
November 8, is becoming the
storm-center of quite a battle. At
first there appeared to be little active
support or opposition but
now both sides are in the scrap
and throwing punches.
School groups and state, county,
and city employees are opposed
to the amendment, while gasoline
companies and employees
and Atticus Mullen of the "Advertiser"
are for it.
However, according to sound
principles of government, earmarking
is wrong and defeat of
the amendment will mean that
another defect in the government
of Alabama will be avoided.
* * *
THE SOUTH AMERICAN POLICY
of the United States is always
an interesting thing to watch. Fascism
has made some strides in
Brazil where a revolt of its adherents
was crushed recently. German
officers have been aiding and
advising the army and government
of Bolivia. There are comparatively
large numbers of Germans
in nearly every South A-merican
country. All this may
mean that fascism is on the march
in Latin America.
True, the beginning may be
small, but to ignore them would
be shortsighted. One Adolf Hitler
was once laughed at for leading
a ludicrous "beer hall" rebellion
in 1923 and one Benito Mussolini
was once a Socialist newspaper
editor barred from his own country.
Fascism in South America would
be entirely too close for comfort.
Since Cordell Hull has been Secretary
of State the American attitude
toward our southern neighbors
has been much more friendly.
If we continue our friendliness
and willingness to serve as a "big
brother," then we should have little
to worry about.
* * *
THE CZECHS are definitely
aligned with the German-Italian
bloc now, and we can't blame
them for taking such a stand.
The dismemberment of the
Czech nation was contrary to sentiments
which nearly every American
feels, but the seeming betrayal
by Britain and France was
a peace measure the value of
which seems greater and greater
as time passes.
That the Czechs had to be cru- i
cified for the sake of peace is
regrettable. But sometimes there
are things which are bigger than
nations themselves.
the ways and means of developing
material for a publication of
this character, I can appreciate
real newsy columns and readable,
understandable, and intelligent
editorial comment. So it is, Charlie,
that I find in the Plainsman
most interesting news of the happenings
in and around the institution
which we all love, together
with very forceful editorial discussion.
It is well, too, that I have a-dopted
the plan of reading the
Plainsman before my neighbors—
alumni, parents of Auburn boys,
and Auburn friends—discover its
arrival, for my copy finds more
than several interested parties
awaiting their turn, if you please,
for the news from Auburn.
I congratulate you and the other
members of the staff upon the
fine work that is being done in
making the Plainsman measure
more completely the high ideals
of the best in college publications.
Sincerely yours,
C. S. Culver. \
A "no game" was ruled in the
University of Illinois-University
of Chicago contest in 1894 within
21 minutes of the end of the game
because Illinois substituted its
coach for a regular player.

football game was played
between Princeton and University
of Virginia in 1890. Princeton
won, 116 to 0.
FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1938 THE AUBURN PLAINSMAN PAGE THREE
SPORTS CHATTER
By Boots Stratford
Auburn and Villanova are still battling in this, their
third encounter for a trophy that was put at stake in their
first meeting. That trophy was to go to the winner of the
Bacardi Bowl game in Havana, New Year's day of 1937 . . .
The game ended in a 7-7 deadlock and the second conflict,
later on the same year also ended in another stalemate, 0-
0 . . . So Auburn has a chance to win a trophy this year without
winning a conference title and without receiving an invitation
to play in one of the "bowl" games on New Year's
day . . .
As was expected, J. Donald
Budge, the California Colussus of
the tennis world is to turn pro in
the very near future, probably a-bout
the fifteenth of this month . . .
It looks like Australia in next
year's Davis cup play . . . John

Swamp Mercer
Last year's winner of Auburn's
cake race, sophomore Herbert
Drake, Montgomery, paced the Tigers
to victory over Mercer, 10-88,
in their opening cross-country
meet of the season. Running a
smart and well-timed race, Drake
conquered the 3.2 mile course in
17:42.5.
The Plainsmen, who meet
Georgia Tech in Atlanta Saturday
in their first Southeastern Conference
test of the year, turned
in a perfect performance in trouncing
the Bears. Low score won the
meet and they sent the first four
runners across the finish line. Besides,
the Bengals had the next
five to finish after the quartet of
leaders, but, by agreement, only
the first four would be allowed
to count in the scoring.
Summary: Drake, Auburn, first;

can of a few years back and now
doing well as head coach of Southwestern
of La., might never have
played football but for the fact that
while he was watching the Sidney
Lanier team scrimmage one day in
Montgomery, he happened to pick
up a football that had rolled near
his feet and booted one of those
later - to - be - famous left-footed
spirals down the field. The coach
happened to be watching, and got
him into a uniform, pronto . .
We are glad to see Everette Smith,
Tiger guard, finally got his chance
in the Rice game, and he played
smashingly, spiritedly, and splendidly
. . . Besides those on the
coaching staff, we have another
former football star as an instructor
at A. P. I. He is Prof. John E.
Pitts of the Math department. He
was an All-Southern center back
in the good old days when a football
player was eligible for play
as long as he went to school, and
some went for 7 or 8 years . . .

Auburn is sporting those green
jerseys this year. Personally, we
liked the old blue ones with
orange numbers.
"Touchdown Auburn" was the
tune to which the first American
troops marched across the Rhine
after the signing of the Armistice
terminating the World War . . .
The 167th regimental band, under
the leadership of Bedie Bidez
who was an All-Southern fullback
under the Orange and Blue,
and who was later to become di
rector of the Auburn band, furnished
the music . . .

Georgia Tech to sting Kentucky's

Rice to hamstring the Arkansas

to scalp Washington. And California

Those Vols Astride
SEC Bacon Ground
With November, the final football
month for most squads, comes
the question, what is there to stop
those Vols from Tennessee? Victor
in four games thus far, Tennessee
is not likely to fall before
Vandy, Kentucky, or Ole Miss,
her remaining conference foes.
Last week the Vols merely
strengthened their hold on first
place by trouncing the bad Tigers
of L. S. U., 14 to 6. Some 36,000
fans watched the Bayou Bengals
concentrate on George Cafego,
only to see two of his mates, Coffman
and Foxx, steal the show.
However, Cafego did give the
Vols their second score. He kept
kicking the ball to the L. S. U.
goal until the safety man finally
fumbled on the 15-yard line. Tennessee
scored in three plays from
that point. This week the Vols
take a breather with Chattanooga
in Knoxville.
This week the cynosure of all
eyes is Birmingham, where Tulane
and Alabama tangle. Last
week the Wave showed its power
in routing Mississippi State 27-0.
Alabama displayed some of its old
form by taking Kentucky into tow
with a easy 16-6 victory. However,
the Tide may have as much
trouble finding Bronco Brunner
as thpy did George Cafego.
Little Bert Marshall brought
Vandy back after its defeat by L.
S. U. to outscore Georgia Tech,
13-7. Marshall led the Commodores
to touchdowns in the second
and third quarters, and Tech was
able to score only in the closing
moments of the game. This week
Vanderbilt should find little opposition
in Sewanee, whom they
meet in Nashville. Kentucky invades
Atlanta for what should be
a good battle with Tech, both
teams having lost last week.
Auburn continues its intersec-seotional
wandering, meeting Clipper
Smith's Villanova team in
Philadelphia. The Tigers lost to
Rice, 14-0, last week, the most
severe trouncing an Auburn team
has had in some time. Another
intersectional game will be played
between Mississippi and St.
Louis University in St. Louis.
Other games will find Georgia
meeting Florida in its first conference
scrap, and L. S. U. tieing
up with Mississippi State . The
Bulldogs should come through in
Jacksonville, and Mississippi State
will, in all probability, have an-nother
bad afternoon in Baton
Rouge.
Football pools net their promoters
about .$10,000,000 annually.
They snare about 2,000,000 customers
a week.
Average attendance at all college
football games over a nine-week
season is 16,000,000 people.
And they pay about $20,000,000
for their tickets!
The average cost of outfitting
a college football player is $75.

Away With SALT!!
How absurd! Of course, we know better, yet
that is what many are doing right now.
Garments worn in Summer absorb more or less
perspiration, and perspiration contains salt. Summer
clothes packed away without cleaning are packed
away with salt, and in damp weather this absorbs
moisture and gradually forms Hydrochloric Acid.
Hydrochloric Acid causes indelible brown stains and
often destroys the fabric.
Have your garments sanitoned and cotton and
linen suits laundered but not pressed nor ironed.
Store away and next spring unpack and have them
pressed without damage to fabric.

MANNING'S SIUDIO
Over Toomer's Auburn, Alabama
in view of the military significance
and importance of the Maginot
Line in a Europe dangerously
near the brink of war and jealously
veiling its defense plans in the
utmost mystery.
A great part of the film was actually
made during the time European
peace was hanging in the
balance. It shows how France during
that period poured regiment
after regiment of reserve soldiers
into her underground fortresses,
which MARCH OF TIME shows,
are great subterranean cities extending
many miles belowground,
and, how ready for any emergency,
she supplied them with provisions
to last at least a year.
In the execution of this great
film scoop, MARCH OF TIME'S
European camera crews worked
for six weeks, taking, in all, more
than 40,000 feet of film. This tremendous
footage portrayed every
conceivable phase of life behind
the Maginot Line and France's efficient
army organization. It is
from this great source of film supply
that MARCH OF TIME edited
"Inside the Maginot Line," demonstrating
to the American public
for the first time, how, should
war come, France plans by a $2,-
000,000,000 structure and modern
army to hold her east boundary,
from Belgium to Switzerland, a-gainst
an enemy invasion.

Cross-Country Team Invades
Jacket's Territory
This afternoon Coach Wilbur
Hutsell will take seven members
of the Auburn cross-country team
to Atlanta to run against Georgia
Tech's Conference championship
team. Tech has lost only one
man from her last year's team,
and, according to Coach Hutsell,
will probably be our hardest opponent
of the year. Besides the
meet Saturday, we have meets
forthcoming against the University
of Georgia on November 19,
and the University of Florida in
Gainesville on either November
12 or Thanksgiving. In the only
other meet held this year Auburn
emerged the victor against the
team from Mercer.
Below is a list of the members
composing the team in the order
in which they finished against
Mercer last week: Herbert Drake,
first; captain J. S. Roberts, second;
Jack Cagle, third; Ray Gibson,
fourth; Jim Holley, fifth; Red
Morgan, sixth; R. E. Wilson, seventh;
Leslie St. Clair, eighth; and
Donald Moses, ninth. Of the men
listed above, Morgan, Drake and
Wilson were lettermen last year.

Varsity Basketball practice will
