Classes
It was decided Tuesday to send
the Auburn Band, the best in the
south, to New Orleans, to accompa­ny
the Auburn Tigers and to take
part in the dedication of Tulane's
new standium.
At meetings held by the Senior,
Junior, and Sophomore classes it was
decided by a unanimous vote of each
class to contribute half of the ex­pense
of the band on this trip, the
funds to be taken from the class
treasuries. Each member of the band
will be required. to pay a portion of
his own expense, and about 44 of
them are making ready to flood the
state of Louisiana with the best mus­ic
ever rendered in that state by a
college band.
The bancTwill leave Auburn Fri­day
night under the direction of In­structor
Bedie Bidez, and will arrive
in New Orleans early Saturday morn­ing.
Aside from the New Orleans
trip, they will also get trips this
year to the following games: Se-wanee,
Marquette, Georgia, and
Tech.

•freshmen, who' nave missed convo
cation this" week, should be keenly
disappointed in not hearing Miss
Willie Kelly, missionary to the peo­ple
in far away China. Miss Kelly
is a very cultured woman, and her
knowledge of China, its ways and
customs, formed a subject so broad,
that she'could give us nothing but a
small outline of tfie religious and
social life of the Chinese. Her talk
was interesting, and was appreciated
very much by the boys who applaud­ed
several times during her few min­utes
on the platform.
A new lecture course was dis­cussed,
and a great many of the boys
decided to enter it, thereby winning
quality points upon completion.
Cheer leader, Red Roberts, spoke of-the
coming game with Tulane, and
announced a grand pep meeting to
be held Thursday_night in order to
send the team off to New Orleans in
great style. Music was rendered by
the college orchestra, which gave
several popular selections. Dr.
Dowell presided over the meeting.

of interesting articles including fea­ture
stories on various engineering
problems.
W. H. H. Putnam of Birmingham is
the new editor and J. M. Edwards of
Tuskegee is business manager. Both
of these men are leaders in the stu­dent
body at Auburn. Mr. Putnam is
a member of the course in journal­ism.
The Auburn Engineer is one of the
few magazines of its kind in the U.S.
It was started last year. Number 1
Volume 2 contains several articles by
students of the engineering college
as well as Auburn alumni in the engi­neering
field and men occupying res­ponsible
positions with large engi­neering
concerns.

Last Monday just before one
o'clock, South Gay street was terro-ized
by two speeding' (so accused)
cars. Many thought that Barney
Oldfield and Ralph de Palma were in
for grand sweep stakes again. Oth­ers
who attended summer camp
thought some sham battle wah in pro­gress,
by the snorts, barks and yells
that split the air. As they speed
up Gay street all traffic stopped. It
took quite a while for our local po­lice
force to untie the jam and get
traffic moving again. They sure
handled the situation nicely, and no
doubt they will profit by it.
The object of both drivers seemed
to be to see who could get to a point
of the Kappa Sigma house first. As
usual the front car won, closely fol­lowed
behind by one block by the last
car which lost. After the fire and
smoke of our new pavements had
cleared up, we were surprised to
see that it was only the Essex and
Ford, "or that is what they used
to be" who are acting as the official
cars of the K. Sigma chapter. In

Weekly meeting of Lions Club was
held at the Auburn Inn Tuesday at
noon with forty members present.
Many new happenings were brought
before the members, as well as the
old things which have not been dis­posed
of.
Lion chief Salmon presided; Lions
Pope, Suggs, and Sizemore made re­ports
on: the survey of Auburn, pro­ject
of grammar school, and the new
hotel project, respectfully.
It has been proposed and sanction­ed,
that the grammar school be in­stalled
with steam heat and a new
toilet system. The old building can
be arranged to serve the students
much better by a little work, and
this plan is still under consideration.

twelve out of the eighteen expressed
the attitude of the listeners as being
for Alabama or Auburn. The other
six did not express their feelings
about the outcome of the games but
judging from the wording of the re­ports
they were, also, rooters for the
Alabama teams.

Heard in Songs of Own
Composition
Singing a number of songs of her
own composition, Mrs. Mildred White
Wallace of Columbiana was given a
warm welcome in Langdon Hall to­day,
when she sang before the up-perclassmen
at convocation.
Among the songs that she sang
were, "I Think of You," "I Want to
go Back to my Mammy," and "Good­bye,"
her own compositions. In ad­dition
to that she sang "Happy
Days," one of her favorites.
Mrs. Wallace will be remembered
over Alabama as the composer of
"Dream Boat" which was first heard
a few years ago, and which is now
being sung at one of the leading
theatres of London. This song was
very much in favor not so many
years back.-

"Bud" Baxter, with 441 votes, and
"Dooley" Gilchrist, with 374, were
elected assistant cheer leaders to Red | You," scoring quite a hit with the
Roberts at the upperclassmen convo­cation
Thursday. Runners up for this
-position were-Hahn and Salter, both
polling 245 votes.
Baxter and Gilchrist, as assistants
to Roberts, who himself is known al­most
as well as the Auburn Spirit,
will be helpful in leading the student
cheering sections in their efforts to
put the Auburn Tiger on the pinnacle
of Southern football again. Both
have shown unusual ability in the
manly art of leading yells.
This is Roberts' last year in the
lead position and it was becoming a
muchly debated question as to who
would succeed him and carry on as
well as he has. The newly-elected as­sistants
should make a sufficient im­pression
this season to follow in Red's
footsteps as well as he "has followed
in those of Charlie Dudley, one of
the bc%t yell leaders the South has
produced. It is hoped that the same
assistance will be given Baxter and
Gilchrist that the students have
shown Roberts, so that the old "Au­burn
Skyrocket" and other yells will
continue to remain supreme on the
Southern" gridiron.

A handsome oil painting of Ers-kine
Ramsay now adorns the main
hall of the new Erskine Ramsay
Engineering Building, which was
named for him, and which was made
possible by his very liberal award of
one-hundred thousand dollars toward
its erection. In honor of this great
man, the college has obtained his
picture, and "Hung it where it will be
noticed by anyone who enters the
building. The portrait was painted
by J. Binder, and is a very fine look­ing
one, which the college should be
proud to own.
Under the picture is a bronze tab­let
which bears the following inscrip­tion:
"Erskine Ramsay, Birming­ham,
Alabama, Engineer, Inventor,
Capitalist, Educational Patron and
Philanthropist whose gift made pos­sible
the erection of this building—
A. D. 1925."
Erskine Ramsay has endeared him­self
to all Auburn men by his great
contribution to our institution. This
fine building, and also the picture,
will remain as a monument to his
liberality, and to his intense interest
in educating the boys and girls of the
country.

Huge Torch Light Pa­rade

Great Send-off
For Big Battle
Smarting under their defeat last
Saturday at the hands of Mike Don­ahue's
L. S. U. Tigers and determined
to avenge Tulane's victories over them
in the last two meetings of these two
teams, the Auburn Tigers, forty
strong, led by their-beloved chief tan,
Coach David B. Morey and his assist­ants
in the art of instructing aspir­ing
candidates, "Boozer" Pitts, "Mike"
Papke, "Slick" Moulton and "Buck"
Spinks, entrained Thursday night for
their longest jaunt of the season.
They go to renew hostilities with their
last year's conquerors, the Tulane
"Greenies". The scene of the big bat­tle
is to be in Tulane's handsome new
stadium which will be officially^ded-icated
Saturday afternoon.
Despite her defeats at the hands
of Tech and New York, the Tulane
eleven is a set-up for no team and
Auburn must get busy early in the
game if she expects to emerge from
the contest with the long end of the
"count. Therefore Turner, Snider,
Fisher and company are expecting
much fur to fly before the local
beast gets a good hold on his power­ful
opponent.
While the Green Wave does not
surge nearly so strongly as last sea­son
when the Cresent City institution
boasted of one of the most brainy
and successful elevens in "Trie entire
country, they can be depended on to
display a brilliant brand of football
A hard running attack and a bewilder­ing
overhead game will be features
of the opponents attack unless they
have radically changed their tactics
since the Tech game.
Overconfidence, which cost them
their first conference reverse last
Saturday was entirely missing from
the local squad when they boarded the-train
here Thursday night. A grim
determination seemed to enshroud
the Moreymen which bodes ill for
their opponents down in Louisiana.
They realize that in Captain Gamble
the Green Gridders have a flank
man of no mean ability while Menville
who saw service last year against
Auburn as a linesman, is a triple
threat man to be carefully watched.
Those who enjoy watching an ariel
attack will be treated to a rare ex­hibition
of skill when Tuxworth and
Menville, two of the three greatest
passers in the conference, match their
skill. :
In Snider Auburn possesses the
fastest back in the Southern Confer­ence,
capable of running both around
end and off tackle with disastrous
results to his opponent's morale. In
the L, S. U. game he gained at will
wherever he tried while his defensive

OBNOXIOUS CRITICISM
Are the sport scribes giving Auburn a
fair deal? We do not hesitate to answer
in the most emphatic negative. .We are
getting the publicity which has been so
long denied us but it is a disgraceful noto­riety
we are receiving. Now is the time
for the student body of Auburn, which, to­gether
with the families of its boys and
girls, representing a large part of the state
to rise en masse and cry against the co­wardly
articles issuing from the diseased
minds of the reporters, correspondents and
even the editors of several of the largest
papers in the state.
The delight of these morbid individuals
in attaching the coaching staff and the Ti­ger
eleven after the defeat of last Satur­day
may be aptly compared to the pleasure
which a fool derives from tying a can to a
dog's tail or tripping up a blind man who
is cautiously feeling his way along. Au­burn
is feeling her way along sport's street
rather cautiously now and her sole encou­ragement
from these lords of dope comes
in the form of sneers and narow-minded
criticism.
Each man in Auburn should consider it
slurs cast upon the fair name of his Alma
Mater as personal and should take immedi­ate
steps to erase the stigma from the spot­less
honor of his college.
If these criticisms were just or even if
they, were given in a friendly spirit of cor­rection,
we should deem it a favor for our
weak points to be brought to light. How­ever
when we are the butte of their deli­berate
lies and false propaganda, we should
flame with righteous indignation and de­mand
an explanation of their groundless
statements.
Alabama Polytechnic Institute is one of
the largest schools in the state and yet
when her football team bows in defeat be­fore
a college of a neighboring state the
occasion is one of great journalistic re­joicing.
Her coach is ridiculed, her style
of play smiled at and her team is openly
laughed at and derided by the press. The
wise heads extoll at great length the heroic
exploits of the Crimson tide, great eleven
of a great Alabama College. We are not
jealous of this praise. There should be
liberal share for us all. Wouldn't it be a
glorious achievement if two of our state
teams should finish at the top of the Sou­thern
Conference? To a fair-minded in­dividual
and citizen of- Alabama this would
be highly desirable. But not so these hide
bound experts of the printed sheet. Their
brains, warped by a personal prejudice a-gainst
this institute, seize upon the slight­est
error and expand it unto a gigantic
bone pulled by a mediocre coach. They lay
aside state pride to indulge personal en­mity.
Perhaps some of those correspond­ents
have no such pride. Perchance they
are not native citizens of Alabama and
they have resided within its borders for a
short while. We can more easily under­stand
their prejudiced-filled reports of the
game. This is probably the case of the au­thor
of a particularly venemous attack on
our coaching system whoso name suggest'
a citizen of Kalamazoo-rather than an Am­erican
and southerner.
Georgia was defeated Saturday by a foe
which was generally considered to be a
much weaker team than she. Did the Geor­gia
papers carry glaring streamers con­veying
to the reading public that the whole
school was rotten? No, their accounts of
the game were confined to accurate diagno­sis
of the contest and lies were excluded
from the columns of their sport pages. We
should have appreciated it much more if
the same policy had been followed in our
case.
Unjust statements about the game Satur-
*day are too numerous to be quoted here
but some of the gross mistatements we
feel should be reprinted. One pompous
critic heads a section of his article with
the following statement prominently dis­played
in boldface type, "Fisher and Sni­der
Fail to Gain". How can anyone of
average intelligence and fair eyesight have
failed to observe the remarkable running
attack of this pair of backs, the backbone
of the local offense? Another declares,
"Tigers Loose Hope", and contiues, "On the
other hand, the Tiger of the Plains seemed
to realize that his teeth had been drawn
and his cla s filed in the final two quar­ters".
No impartial spectator could have
failed to note the decided improvement
in the brand of football displayed by the
Moreymen in the second half. They easily
had a decided edge on their opponents.
The same author patterns after old Demos­thenes
in concluding every paragraph with
"Auburn has no Alibi". We have yet to
propose one.
Coach Morey is severely taken to task
in the same article for sending in so many
substitutes during the game. Another
article adjoining the one in question carries
an account of the Notre Dame- Penn State
game. Knute Rockne made 33 substitut­ions
in the course of the contest. Auburn
substituted but 19 times. Notre Dame
sent five different quarter backs into the
fray. Auburn sent four in at critical mom­ents.
Why isn't Rockne criticized by the
nationally famous sport critics who follow
his every move? BECAUSE THEY RE­ALIZE
THAT THE STRENGTH OF AN
ATHLETIC TEAM LIES WITHIN THE
NUMBER AND STRENGTH OF ITS RE-^
SERVES. Yet we are being censored for"
the use of our reserves.
Another narrow-minded commentator
conceived this brilliant idea and exploited
his opinion at the expense of his reputation:
"From the sideline angle of the game, it
looked like too mank substitutions was dis­turbing
the team play. It is all right to
run the team from the sidelines if you have
a bunch of dumies, but the average fel­low
can be depended on to use fair judg­ment
as often as the average coach. If
they can't be taught to go out there and
use common sense for more than two min­utes
at a time, they had just as well have
a coal scuttle on their shoulders. Further­more,
if all the coaches begin to use such
tactics it will not be many moons before a
howl and clamor will be raised to bar the
coaches from the playing field."
We should remind the author that Hu­berts,
Covingtons and Stulderhyers ho not
grow on trees. A coach is engaged on
the theory that he knows more about the
fine points of the game than the players
themselves. Then, too, he can often see
opportunities from the sideline which are
not 'noticeable in the excitement on the
playing field. We maintain that it is his
v privilege and good fortune to be able to
direct his team in the plays in which he
has coached them by sending in men with
instructions at crucial moments.
We appreciate such sentiments as those
expressed by Jack Langhorne of the Mon­tgomery
Advertiser in a recent write-up
of Saturday's upsets when he declared that
" Now is the time for Auburn backers to
put their shoulders to the wheel. The sea­son
is young yet, and, according to^he past
one can never tell what might happen in
the future. Its a good time to make a
break now, but its a better time to make.
Rome was not built in a day, you know.
We still contend that Auburn boasts one
of the finest teams in the entire conference
and we still contend that Auburn should
have given L.S.U. a neat lacing Saturday,
but what difference does it make? Laugh
it off folks."
Such comment is really beneficial to the
morale of the local supporters all over the
state.
We plead for a fair presentation of the
facts to the public. Let them be judges
without the cut and dried decisions of
sport scribes.
to make Crampton Bowl ring with lusty
shouts. The old fight seemed to be gone,
the spirit dead. *
What we need is an old fashioned re­vival.
A few of the old war crys ringing
out clear and strong throughout the night
would do more good than all the mass
meetings ever held. And that touches an­other
sore spot. At the last pep meeting
there were fully as many vacant seats as
there were occupants of Langdon Hall. It
is significant that ninety percent of those
attending were rats. That speaks well for
the freshmen, but how about the old men?
Are we ashamed to appear at an open dis­play
of the emotions and are we ashamed
to be seen with the common herd? If so,
we are no longer worthy to be called an
Auburn student.
We are passing through a crucial stage
in our athletics and now is certainly not
the time for us to fall down on our part.
We've got to get behind the team and that
means that we've got to show them in
some way hat we have implicit confidence
in them. We believe that we have the best
coaching staff in the country and we want
them to know that we trust them. Coach
Morey is a great coach and what is more,
student sof Auburn, he has a great heart.
He is putting forth his best effors for
Auburn, for us, and we should show him
cur appreciation whenever the opportunity
presents itself.
The faculty have the Auburn Spirit.
They are backing the team no^y as warm­ly
as any student and we appreciate that
attitude. There is more of a-mutual re­spect
between the regular faculty members
and the several coaches than there has
been in a number of years. Much good
should come of this cooperation.
We should not expect,Morey to win the
Southern Conference Championship his
second year at the helm. He had to in­corporate
an entirely new system, a strong
offensive backfield behind a great defen­sive
line. He has that combination round­ing
intc; form -this year. What matter if
we lose a game or two. Morey, the strate­gist,,
is looking to the future, to that day
not so far away when Auburn will sweep
on to another Southern Championship.
Then the students will realize the magni­tude
of the thing he has accomplished in
taking over the reigns when there was no
material on hand and sticking to his task
until he puts out the strongest aggrega­tion
in the conference. Let us assure him
that we realize his sacrifice now and en­courage
him in the task of moulding a
great team.
Let's all be down at the train when the
Tigers embark for a big game. We know
that we're all behind 'em but it is they who
should know. Let's get that old fashioned
"War Eagle Religion" and win or lose,
We'll be pleased with our fighting team.
LET'S GET THE OLD TIME RELIGION
Fellows, where is the spirit that has car­ried
many an Orange and Blue eleven to
victory on the crest of unbounded confidence
and contagious enthusiasm? Where's the
spirit which offered sweet consolation to
a band of weary, battle-worn Tigers who
went down fighting to the last gasp?
Where's the spirit that caused the tre­mendous
outbursts of cheers last November
in Columbus when the Bulldog of Georgia
was eating his fill of Tiger meat? Fellows,
Where's the old Auburn Spirit?
The greatest disappointment in the Au-burn-
L. S. U. game was not our defeat,
but the failure of the student body to stay
behind the team. It I s the first time we
have been forced to witness . the Auburn
student body give up. With nine-tenths
of the Plainsmen in the Capitol city the
cheering was a.flat failure. In vain did
the cheer leaders exhort their contingents
LEARN LANGUAGES
Liberty, sparkling weekly publication, in
its edition of October 23, carried an ex­cellent
editorial concerning the commercial
value of learning foreign languages. In-as
much as the topic is one of general in­terest
and the article is so sensible, we pass
it on to our readers.
"Readers often exclaim when told that
writers are paid ten cents, twenty-five
cents, a dollar—even more—a word for
their stories. Few realize the fact that
Hhe monetary value of the words in com­mercial
activities may be greater than that
placed upon the'works of even the highest
paid authors.
"One of the universal plaints of school­boys,
and one of the commonest growls
from the average man, is: 'What good is
all this Latin and Greek? No one ever
talks these dead languages.'
"No one ever says: 'What is the use of
learning that three times nine is twenty-seven?'
Yet Latin is three times nine of
the majority of the modern languages.
More than 65 percent of the words we use
trace back to Latin roots. A knowledge of
Latin greatly increases the understanding
of the full meaning of words used in Eng­lish,
Freneh, Spanish, Italian, and practi­cally
all other languages used in commerce;
and, increasingly, a thorough knowledge
of the meaning of words and ability to
speak and understand languages are be­coming
necessary to success in business.
''More than half of the world's business
is done, in English. Prior to the World
War, German ranked second and Spanish
third in commercial languages. A great
part of the success of the Germans in South
America and other countries has been due
to their ability to speak the languages of
peoples with whom they traded, while En­glish-
speaking salesmen have been included
to insist that those with whom they deal
speak English.
"Anyone who atempts to do business
through an interpreter is handicapped so
heavily that his chances of selling are seri­ously
damaged. With radio, airships, and
automobiles bringing the peoples of the
world into closer and more intimate con­tact
every day, the world is moving rapidly
toward a universal language; but, until
all peoples speak and understand the same
tongue, knowledge of languages is the es­sence
of success in international trade.
"The Polish Jew claims to be the great­est
linguist in the world because, in order
to succeed in business in that polyglot
seciion of the world around the northwest
corner of old Germany, the merchant had to
speak at least six languages. The Dutch
rate high as linguists merely because, being
surrounded by five different nations using"
different tongues, and depending upon them
for commercial success, the Hollander is
compelled to speak English, German, and
French, and to understand Danes, Swedes,
and Norweigans. The Swiss merchant
must do business in French, English, Ger­man,
and Italian—and does. The Dutch­man
in Ceylon, Java, the islands of the
South Seas, does not attempt to force the
natives to learn his own language; he
learns theirs and gets the business.
"The commercial value of language is
hard to figure. Considering the fact that
America's trade with non-English-speaking
countries amounts to about two and a
quarter billion dollars a year, it is evident
that being able to speak the language of
those countries counts heavily.
"This expansion of trade relations with
non-English-speaking countries accents the
fact that Americans are losing heavily
through neglecting the study of languages,
and yet striving to compete with German,
Jewish, Swiss, and Dutch merchants who
commence their preparation for business
with those countries by learning their lan­guages.
"No country affords as general or as
thorough facilities for learning languages
as does the United States, and perhaps no
investment is as valuable in bringing quick
returns as knowledge of other languages—
especially German and Spanish. Yet we
are neglecting a basic asset in the commer­cial
world by assuming that our customers
ought to come to us and speak our lan­guage."

ENTRANCE PROBLEMS
Colleges all over the United States are
facing the problem of whom to let enter
and whom not to let enter their doors. In
the University of Wisconsin by February,
1923, 11 percent of the class entering the
preceding fall had dropped out; in Febru­ary,
1924, the corresponding figure for the
class which entered in the fall of 1923 was
13 percent. In Harvard only 76 percent
of the freshmen who registered in Septem­ber,
1923, were promoted in good standing
at the end of the freshman year.
The colleges of Alabama, as well as all
other colleges of the country,, are watching
freshmen drop out each year after they
have registered and started on their college
career. This is one of the most difficult
problems that colleges are having to meet
at the present time.
Arthur J. Klein, chief, Higher Education
Division, Bureau of "Education, wrote an
article in the October issue of the School
Life, published at Washington, D. C, in
which he said that lack of ability is the
least important factor in accounting for
the loss of freshmen each year. He gave
over-enthusiasm for sports and other extra­curricular
activities as perhaps tho most
frequent cause. His story, in part, was
given in the following words:
"Leaving the freshman almost entirely
to his own devices in making his entrance
into the official and social life of the in­stitution
results in homesickness and dis­couragement
in useless effort and depend­ence
upon chance influences. Naturally his
fellow-freshmen and older students give
him a one-sided conception of college life,
a picture made up largely of athletics,
social life, and extra curricular employ­ments.
The college authorities, the faculty,
and study, under such conditions, contend
upon unequal terms with "activities" in
presenting their claims to his_time and
attention. He has little direct personal
contact with college officials and official
purposes and that little is under what he
and 'his fellows regard as compulsion."
The difficulties in transition from high
school to college is a complaint justly made
by many jfreshmen who enter college.
There is an entirely new life, both socially
and in mode of thinking, upon entering
college.
Several institutions, following the lead
of the University of Maine, the University
of Rochester, and the Agricultural and Me­chanical
college of Texas, which are pio­neers
in the movement, have adopted the
device known as "freshman week" in order
to partially over-come the difficulties con­fronting
the freshman class. Auburn has
recently adopted such a plan and it has
proven thus far a success. The purpose of
the week is to acquaint the students with
the aims, opportunities, and customs of
the institution and to aid them in finding
the course in college they desire and have
the ability of mastering.
Much work has been done all over the
country in trying to find a solution to the
difficulties encountered by and with the
freshman class but to date there is a prob­lem
involved. Attempts have been made
to solve the problem with psychological
tests but it has been found that these tests
do not give very accurate account of the
ability of a student and the work which
he will do in college. A report of his re­cord
in school before reaching college is
more dependable than the results given by
Melvin Brod boasts of the fact that He
made the trip to Montgomery on a little
less than nothing. He has not given us
any light on the subject, but we understand
that he is a very adept pupil of the Hon.
Robt. Jaggard Leary, and is making great
strides in acquiring the knack of the exe­cution
of the gentle art alluded to above.
While I am on the subject, I have been
requested to thank the Western of Alabama
for the buggy ride sustained by some five
score of students that did not go down on
the special. N
Nor are we hunting a suitable Alibi for
the Tulane game. Moral: BEAT TU-LANE,

Mr. Balder, the photographer for the
Glomerata is complaining that he broke
his camera on a certain senior that he
"shot". We would suggest a heavy in­surance
on the next one, as long as he stays
in Auburn.
Last week the "Light that Never Fails"
in the Ag bottom failed to burn. Charlie
Apps is nursing an injured knee that he
acquired in the rush.
We obtained this information from
James Price. We have yet to discover
his source but we have several clues, and
our sleuth, W. R. Hardin is earnestly at
work on these clues at the Zoo. We hope
to give you a full account of the scandal
pretty soon.
We have quite a bunch of politicians
among our Ag. students. We understand
that Rowe Johnson is politicing for a free
trip to Birmingham. We did all that we
could to help him along with it. Sorry you
did not get it, Rowe.
While we are speaking of Ags we would
suggest that they would get their heads
together and put a wood block pavement
between the main building and the Ag
building.
Doubtless you, gentle readers, have
heard numerous complaints about Auburn
THE ART OF GRATITUDE
Gratitude is one of the arts that invest
life with a tonic graciousness.
To perfect the practice of gratitude is
part of the technique of effective living.
Pierre Charron, an engaging old philo­sopher
of sixteenth century France, said
that "he who receives a good turn should
never forget it; he who does one should
never remember it."
This is an incisive observation on the
art of gratitude. Little need be added to
his counsel to the man who does a good
turn; but his "counsel to the man who re­ceives
a good turn will stand a bit of clari­fication.
The real art of gratitude lies in the
ways and means by which we give evidence
of the fact we have forgotten a good
turn.
I suggest only one thing: The highest
expression of gratitude is not mere prompt­ness
and profusion of spoken thankfulness.
Gratitude may so easily degenerate into
a merely talkative virtue; but genuine
gratitude cannot be measured by its gar­rulity;
the greatest gratitude is often re­ticent
and spare of speech.
The highest form of gratitude consists
in our confirming by our works the good
judgment of those who have done us a
good turn.:
The cheapest form of gratitude consists
in our acknowledging by our words the
good will of those who have done us a good
turn.
In these Autumn weeks, sober college
officials have, we may be sure, counselled
thousands of new students to write appre­ciative
letters to parents who have pinched
themselves to provide for their children
the opportunities of education. I venture
the guess, however, that gushing letters of
gratitude will prove the least satisfying
expression of gratitude to these self-sacri­ficing
parents.
I have been a father only a little more
than seven and a half years. That is not
long, but long enough for me to learn that
parents are not, as they are sometimes
pictured, spiritual usurers, whetting their
knives, demanding the pound of gratitude
playing dirty football this year. This is
not the Sports Page, but we cannot resist
saying that we, as Auburn supporters, have
no alibi to offer for our loss to L. S. U.
"Red" Roberts says he knows who broke
the camera, but that he is not going to tell.
Lost, Strayed or Stolen: One athletic
book. Finder please return to Ann Lichty.
As a little variety we had an automobile
race here the other day. "Rat" Collins
in his broken down Essex races William
Henry Harrison Putnam in his "machine"
(1924 model Ford, which looks every bit
its age). Unfortunately the Auburn Po­lice
Department became aware of the fact
and both participants were arrested for
speeding. They were fined $10 and costs.
We understand that Putnam now has his
"machine" on sale as the fastest Ford in
Auburn. By the sworn statement of the
Auburn Police Department it will do over
forty miles per hour.
What next? We hear that "Red" Russell
has shown his effeminity by fainting when
he'was informed that he was pledged to
«he "Scabbard and Blades". We did not
think this of "Red", and we are exceedingly
sorry to hear it. Such action is unworthy
even of a Boy Scout, much less of one of
our red-blooded, red-headed he-officers of
the reserves.
We also hear that James Price decided
to give the co-eds a treat by stepping out
in knickers. He wont tell us what happens,
but shortly afterwards we noticed him in
long pants and his knickers unfurled to
the breeze from one of the bushes in front
of the Ag building.
Who was that Rat that was arrested
in Tuskegee for yelling "War Eagle" at
3:00 A. M. last Friday night?—Beg your
pardon—I mean Saturday morning.
There was intense interest on the part
of the members of the friendship council
last Sunday when they were entertained
by the Y. W. C. A. In a little business
session that was part of the meeting the
co-eds voted to have an all-night Camp this
week end (or weak end). There has been
much anticipation on the part of Rowe
Johnson, but to date Rowe has not been
able to find out where the hike will go.
Good luck Rowe.

professors may disagree but until
they develop a more efficient test they will
find it rather tiresome to advance proof
which will hold water, so to speak. Psy­chologists
along with other educators may
some day solve the situation so thoroughly
that the freshman problem will no longer
be a problem. Those days are desirable
by all institutions of the land.,

genuis of parenthood that parents find
a selfish satisfaction in sacrificing for
their children.
The debt of gratitude for the sacrifice
of parents has been discharged, not when
parental eyes are tearful over the senti­mental
gratitude of their children, but
when parental eyes are twinkling over the
sound achievements of their children.

SECOND LAYING
CONTEST ENDS
All the birds of the Second Ala­bama
Egg Laying contest will be
copped and shipped Monday, Octo­ber
25, except the pens containing
birds that have a chance to make 290
eggs within the 52 weeks, according
to reports given today by John E.
Ivey, supervisor. Those pens retain­ed
wil be shipped Monday morning
November 1.
The Third National Egg Laying
contest to be held in Auburn will be­gin
November 1. This contest will
be composed of 100 pens with 10 hens
to each pen, making a total of 1,000
birds. With each pen, two extra
birds, alternate rqd and white, are
sent to take care of sickness and
deaths. With these 200 extra birds;,
there wil be 1200 birds in the contest,
^ f o date there are still a few open
pens for the third contest but the
possibilities are that the applications
by November 1 will more than fill
these. The breeds represented will
be approximately the same as in the
secon dcontest with the exception
that Brown Leghorns and Blue An-dalusions
will not have representa­tives.
There are six pens in the second
contest which have made a record
sufficient to keep them until Novem­ber
1 in order to get a full record of
/the outstanding individuals and pens
of the contest. These pens are:No..
54, owned by Riley and Kintner; No.
4 of Marshall Farm; No. 39 of Egg-line
Farm, No. 62, owned by Robert
E. Martin, No. 72 owned by Mrs. D.
T. Tatum. and No. 49 of Lee Poultry
Farm.
It looks now as if there will be two
300 egg hens this year. White Leg­horn
N. 381, owned by Eggline
Farm of Florence, Alabama, has a
record of 293 eggs to her credit to
date.
Riley and Kintner's White Leg­horn
No. 538 has a record of 316

another group at the University. In
September they petitioned the Alpha
chapter and a charter was granted.
The installing officers were T. S.

AG. CLUB NEWS
Comer Hall was filled as usual
Wednesday night when the program
began with "How I Feel as a Fresh­man"
by (Rat) O. N. Andrews. Rat
Andrews very vividly told how it
feels to be a freshman in colege. He
said that there is a vast difference
in being a freshman in high school
and college. He concluded by saving
that the upperclassmen were not bad,
and that he was enjoying being a
freshman, even if he did get at the
broad end of a paddle very often.
"Fighting Derelicts" was ably dis­cussed
by Culver DeLoach. He des­cribed
how these terrors of the ocean
were a menace to shipping and pas-senger
vessels, and how the United
fighting them by having the Coast
Guard hunt them out and destroy or
sink them.
Miss Hazel A rant gave an interest­ing
talk on "William A. Pope", head
of the largest piping contract bus­iness
in the world. ' Miss Arant re­viewed
Mr. Pope's life, and told how
he rose to be the head of the largest
business of its kind in the world by
being sympathetic, friendly, and hon­est
in all dealings. ,
"Thanksgiving" was " forcibly
brougt to the attention of the club
when J. R. Sudduth talked "Turkeys".
Sudduth described turkey farming on
the Texas prairies. Texas raises
one tenth of all the turkeys grown
in the United States, and they are
often driven to market in flocks num­bering
ten thousand, he said.

REGULAR MEET
OF WILS0NIAN
HELD TUESDAY
The regular meeting of the Wil-sonian
Literary Society was held at
7:00 o'clock Tuesday night in room
301 Main building with sixty-four
members present. The program was
very interesting and was enjoyed by
all.
"Our Worftr" court membership in
peril", brought out and discussed by
J. N. Nelms, was a very interesting
topic, especially fo those who object
to our entrance into the worjd court.
Nelms showed that our leaders are
getting the question very tangled in
Washington.
"Rat" Hubert Wooten seemed well
prepared on the topic "America's
last prestige in Europe". He brou­ght
out the prestige America has
won with the European powers, then
showed how we are about to lose it.
Startling the members with his
Cutting subject. "Eve Blamed again
for Evil in Eden", C. C. Phillips sent
pain and anger into the ranks of the
co-eds. "Co-eds corrupt the good
morals of college men", Phillips
brought forth, and "even a St. An­thony
would renounce his heritage
for the plesh pots of the campus.
The college once paid attention to the
town girl, but today he spends it all
with the co-ed. Once they were not
so popular but today, with their
pretty clothes and charming chatter,
they even entice a campus saint to
renounce his life ambition. But the
whole matter' is traced to the natu­ralistic
philosophy and new psycholo­gy
which they get at college, and but
half digest, out of this getting a
half baked philosophy of their own.
'But Phillips says he is not against
the co-ed and is not to blame for this
topic, laying his blame on Wilfred
O. Cross, a student at IllinoisT Uni­versity
and F. E. Bertram, chairman
of the Wilsontan Society program
committee.
Joe Palmer gave some interesting
jokes; George Stafford listed "What
Literature can do for me," and W. H.
Phelps brought the last entertain­ment
to the members with his hard
jokes on the members themselves.
A.I.E.E. MEETING
IS ADDRESSED BY
DEAN WILM0RE
Some of the Electrical Engineer
ing students proved to be quite lucky
last Wednesday r.ight. That is the
ories who came out to the regular
weekly meetings -of the A. I. E. E.
This luck came in the form of an ad­dress
by Dean Wilmore, who gave
a very interesting account of the life
and works of John A. Brashier. He
called his talk "A Successful Life"
and proved it by this great man, who
though only aTmill wright and pos
essing only a common school educa
tion rose to such heights by his illus­trious
work that before the end of his
life six prominent colleges honored
him by conferring Doctors Degrees.
To add to this he attained the high­est
honor to which any Mechanical
Engineer can aspire, that of Presi­dent
of the American Society of Me­chanical
Engineers. The lessons
that Dean drew from this was that
to be sucessful, a man must be an
untiring worker^ and possess a con­genial
home, robust health, and the
ability to make and retain friends.
In Mowing the plan to get our
members more familiar with every
day engineering subjects, that of
having someone to discuss his sum­mer
work. Mr. T. S. Lynch was an
employee of the Cox Electrical Engi­neering
and Supply Co. of Mobile
Alabama. His work consisted of re­winding
armature, estimating, draft­ing,
and inspecting. He illustrated
his talk with diagrams and sketches
on the board, explaining the unique
description of the State Docks Cot­ton
Warehouse, and the new U. S.
Quarantine Station. This concluded
the program for the night.

Said the Russian, "My friend, your

Then the Bul-bul drew out his trusty

went

HOT DOGS MUST
BE TESTED FOR
PURITY IN FUTURE
New York, Oct. 22—Armed senti­nels
who halt toothsome hot-dogs,
challenge, then admit them to camp
are conjured up by publication today
of new Army regulations requiring
rigid examination of the popular and
succulent Coney'Island delicacy be­fore
serving to soldiers.
As in days* of yore the Regular
may take his frankfurter and roll or
leave it alone. But now if he decides
to indulge in a savory, mustard-smeared
"doggie," the K. P. will trot
out only choice specimens which have
stood the acid-test of Army regula­tions.
Hot-dog inspections are not to be
added to the numerous Saturday
morning duties of the Regular Army
man as a result of the new regula­tions,
but hereafter all frankfurters,
upon arrival at an Army camp, must
submit to a searching examination as
to ancestry and youthful career be­fore
being accepted by the moss of­ficers.-
"Non-Reg. bow-wows" will
be barred from all posts.
PLANS MADE FOR

WORKERS HERE
Following a showing "of an excel­lent
display of agricultural and farm
home products at the Birmingham
State Fair, the extesion service of
the Alabama Polytechnic Institute,
Auburn, will have another big exhi­bit
at the Montgomery State Fair,
October" 25-30.
Preparatory to the Montgomery
exhibit a special committee was se­lected
and this committee has been at

Resists Corrosion
THIS picture, taken in the salt marshes near
Kearny, N. J., shows two lines of 30-inch Cast
Iron Pipe replacing pipe made of other material.
The alternate exposure to the action of salt water
and air is a severe test.
While the pipe shown in the picture is subjected to
unusual corrosive influences, all underground pipe
must be able to withstand corrosion to a greater or
less degree. Cast Iron Pipe has this quality. It does
not depend on its coating to resist rust; the material
itself is rust-resisting. The first Cast Iron Pipe ever
laid is in service today at Versailles, France, after
two hundred and sixty years' service.

BENEFIT FROM
COLLEGE COURSE
TO BE MEASURED
The extent-to which college courses
in economics and business administra­tion
enable students to solve practical
business problem^ is to be measured
this fall by Senator Arthur Capper,
of Kansas, and a group of business
experts.
Senator Capper, author of a bill
to end destructive price wars, heads
a committee seeking the best solutioi
of the price-cutting evil. Suggestions
have been sought from students and
professors of colleges in all parts of
the United States. The student or
professor who presents the suggestion
of most practical value will not only
receive a money prize of $1000 for
his ideas but will have the satisfaction
of seeing them adopted as the basis
of action by business men and legis­lators.
The special prize of $1000 has been
offered by Dr. Edward Plaut, New
York manufacturer, specifically for
he best college plan for the main­tenance
of standard retail prices.
"What we are after," said Dr. Plaut
in sponsoring the competition, "is a
real solution of this trade problem.
The answer is vital to the future suc­cess
of American industry. The
metnod of presenting the plan is
not retoric. A large number of men
in wholesale and retail trade have
already submitted their plans. They
are thinking clearly and construc­tively
on this important question and
show good business judgment. I am
interested to see how the winning
college plan compares with the best
suggestions from business men."
Dr. Plaut is a graduate of Prince­ton
and received his doctor's degree
from Columbia. As both a college
man and a business man, he is in­terested
in seeing whether the better
plans come from American colleges
or from the ranks of trade itself.
Details of the contest, which closes'
November 1, have been sent to pro­fessors
of economics and business ad­ministration.
The jury of award,
headed . by Senator Capper, includes
Mrs. J. Bordon Harriman, chairman
of the National Consumers League;

THE PLAINSMAN
Roll Back the Green Wave
Tigers Lose Hard
Fought Game to L.S. U.
Crampton Bowl was the scene of
one of the biggest upsets of foot­ball
dope in the Southern Confer­ence
thus far this season. It was
truly a big day for Mike Donahue
as he sat on the sidelines and saw
his team get a 10-0 decision over
the Auburn Tiger. Auburn started
a team that has received the name
of "shock troops" and before they
" could get functioning right Haynes
and Connell, two stalwart backs of
the Louisiana team had plunged the
line for a touchdown and Neesom had
kicked for extra point. A few min­utes
later this same Neesom made a
perfect placement kick for the last
scoring of the game. Snyder and
Fisher showed up excellent and made
a good impression on all who witness­ed
the game. Many questionable
penalties inflicted on Auburn kept
those backs form getting in a series
of runs,which in all probability would
.. have accounted for some scoring. It
was truly a big day for the referee
as he penalized the Plainsmen on
every possible pretense. It must be
said however that Donahue had a
team against his former tutors that
fought with grim determination and
with a spirit that adds glory to the
institution they represent.
First Quarter
Auburn won the toss up and chose
to kick off. Wattwood booted the
oval 38 yards to Haynes, who re­turned
for 18. After three whacks
at Auburn's line, the Lonisianians
decided to kick and Mason shot the
ball to Moulton on the latter's ten-yard
stripe,who returned ten. Moul­ton,
after twoattempts at the flanks,
punted 36 yards to Haynes, who sig­nalled
for a fair catch.
Babers elected to kick and the ball
traveled to Allen on the 17-yard line.
Allen fumbled and L. S. U. recevered.
Haynes hit the center of the line
for a two-yard gain, after which the
Losisiananians were penalized fifteen
yeards for holding.
At this time the ball was on L. S.
U.'s 30 yard stripe. A forward pass,
Godfrey to Mason, netted 16 yards
while another one failed and the ball
went over to Auburn on the 10-yard
line.
Moulton immediately punted, the
ball traveling 44 yards to Mason, who
signalled for a fair catch. Babers
elected to kick again and the oval
spiralled out of bounds on the 20-
yard line. Ellis then skirted left end
for seven yards and was followed by
Moulton and Turner who added the
needed yardage for first down.
Ellis crashed left tackle for two
to start the second drive, but another
crash failed and then Moulton decided
to punt. Pat booted the ball 47
yards to Mason, who returned nine.
It was L. S. U.'s ball on her 27-yard
line. Connell smashed center for a
couple and then the fleet-footed Ma­son
traveled around his right end for
38 yarcis, behind perfect interference.
The ball,' after this, was on Auburn's
32-yard line in L. S. U.'s posession.
After Colnell had failed to gain,
the husky lad took the next two
crashes for eleven yards and another
first down.
This placed the oval on Auburn's
21-yard line. Godfrey and Mason
soon added another first down and
the ball was on Auburn's seven-yard
stripe. With a touchdown in sight,
-Haynes tore loose through the line
for two and was followed by Con­nell
who skirted his right end for
the initial score of the game. •
Neesom added the extra point from
placement and the count was 7 to 0
in favor of L. S. U. The quarter
ended as Neesom's boot traveled
throught the goal posts.
In spite of the touchdown the Au­burn
cheering section went wild,
cheering the Plainsmen on to better
efforts.
Second Quarter
Moulton kicked off to Hinkey
Haynes on L. S. U.'s ten-yard line
and the fast-stepping lad returned
for 34 yards. It wasL. S. U.'s ball
on her 44-yard line. "Pop" Paterson
replaced Market at center for Au­burn.
The local lad got a big ovation
from the many Montgomerians pres­ent.
Conr.ell ripped through center
for two and they with Godfrey gar­nered
nine more for first down. At
this juncture time was called for
Auburn.
After Pruett had nailed Haynes,
Godfrey and Connell made first down
through guard. Godfrey was still
active and he tore off another five
around left end and followed up with
a smash at right guard for two. The
husky chap had made nineteen yards
in three tries.
Godfrey, Connell and Neesom soon
chalked up another first down to
place the ball on the 21-yard stripe.
Godfrey rammed left tackle for two
and Connell tried the same place, but
for only one.
The Auburn line was beginning to
show better strength, as Baskin had
dashed through and tossed Godfrey
for athree-yard loss. Here the Lou-isianians,
after a conference decided
to try for a placement, and Neesom,
standing on his 25-yard line, sent the
ball squarely through the posts for
the three points.
The count then stood L. S. U. 10,
Auburn 0.
Pat Moulton again kicked off and
the ball fell on the ten-yard line and
Haynes picked it up and raced back
for 22 yards. Godfrey smashed at
left tackle for nil, with Ellis nailing
him hard. Godfrey was thrown for
another loss, six yards, on an attempt­ed
end run and then Auburn drew a
penalty for being off side. The ball
was on the 38-yard stripe and it was
second down. Connell immediately
got back the needed distance, however
when he smashed through the line.
Haynes shot at left tackle for one
and was f ollowed^ by Durrett, who
skirted left end for fourteen, only
to have the play called back when
both elevens were offside.
Durrett failed to do an y damage
in Wattwood's territory and then
Mason punted over the goal line, 53
yards. Shotts went in for the Au­burn
captain, Paul Turner, and Snider
and Fisher subbed for Ellis and Allen.
The Auburn rooters gave out a bog
cheer when the ten seconders step­ped
out on the field. Vineyard re­placed
Babers, of L. S. U.
It was Auburn's ball on her own
20-yard line. Fisher skirted right
end for seven years and then Snider
tore loose around left for 23. It
was a sad tale, however, as the ref­eree
called the play back and penaliz­ed
Auburn 15 yards for holding.
Haynes intercepted Fisher's pass on
Auburn's 35-yard line and was stop­ped
cold in his tracks. L. S. U. drew
a penalty on the next play for being
effside and then a pass from Godfrey
was intercepted by Shotts on Au­burn's
.30-yard line.
Auburn was the victim of another
bad break when Moulton shot a neat
pass to Wattwood for 31 yards, only
to have the play called back again
for an offside penalty. Then Mason
intercepted Moulton's pass on Au­burn's
47-yard line. Paterson stopped
him in his tracks. A pass from God­frey
to Connell was intercepted, and
then Connell hit left guard for one.
On another pass, Godfrey to Haynes,
Fisher was in the way and the hall
went over to Auburn on her 35-yard
line.
Tuxworth then replaced Moulton at
quarter for the Plainsmen and sailed
over left guard for four. A lateral
pass, Snider to Tuxworth, netted 22
yards and the ball was on L. SyU.'s
37-yard line. Fisher smashed at left
tackle for four and then Hodges of
Auburn went in for Tuxworth. "Bull"
McFaden and Emmett Sixemore both
insisted at this moment that L. S. U.
was rapidly becoming rapidly disman­tled.
A pass by Fisher failed and
another one, and Auburn was pen­alized
five yards. Another pass by
Hodges was intercepted by Godfrey.
Nelson went in for Hodges. Snider
got off" on a 13-yard jaunt around
left end on a reverse play. It was
a beautiful run. Nelson then dupli­cated
with a 14-yrd spurt on a lateral
pass from Fisher.
The ball was then on L. S. U.'s 7-
yard line. Fisher was thrown for a
loss by Tinsley and then Burns came
in for Wattwood. Haynes intercept­ed
Fisher's side pass as the half
ended. Another bad break for Au­burn.
The score at this time still stood
L. S. U. 10, Auburn 0.
Third Quarter
The Auburn squad was the first
to take the field during the half
while the Louisianians followed close­ly
behind. Both teams appeared fir­ed
with determination.
Dimmick went in for Council, at
fullback for L. S. U. Wattwood went
it for Burns of Auburn.
L. S. U. elected to kick off to
Auburn and Dimmick kicked to the
12 yard line to Snider who returned
to his 32 yard line. Snider hit left
end for 18 yards. McFaden said
they couldn't be stopped, so did Size-more,
incidentally. Fisher was held
for no gain. Nelson, on a fake through

before he was tackled. Fisher lost
a yard at right end. A pass Fisher

Howard Rats
Scrap to 6-6 tie
Last Saturday was "Donahue Day"
in -Montgomery and came very near
to being "Bull P*p" day in Birming­ham.
While the big gang was tak­ing
that heartbreaking defeat at the
hands of L. S. U. the Rats were fight­ing
hard to stave off defeat at the
hands of the Howard Rats. Doped
to win this game by a large score,
the Rats found themselves fighting
with their backs to the wall to get
by with a tie game to their credit.
It seems that the Rats are in line for
some criticism just at this time be­cause
of certain actions of some mem­bers
of the squad on this trip. Per­haps
their showing against Howard
Rats, a disappointing one it was, can
be attributed to some of their ac­tions
that are not exactly in line with
strict training rules. This temporary
lay-off was perhaps the outgrowth
of over confidence, a thing that will
ruin any team. The team seemed to
be slow to wake up to the task that
was really theirs in this game and
by the time they did the Pups had a
taste of Tiger blood and were hard to
handle. The old drive and heady
football that so evident in the Mar­ion
game was noticeably lacking in
this game. Many mistakes on the
part of the field generals were chalk­ed
up while the line did not have
that charge that carried the heavier
Marion line down the field backwards.
It is true that the Howard touchdown
came as a result of what might be
called a break of the game but nev­ertheless
it was legal and served as
the necessary margin to stave off de­feat.
The Rats think they should
have had at least one more score and
we agree with them but it was not
forthcoming so we have to take the
game as it was 6 all nobody lost, but
our Rats won because they know now
that football teams have to be beat
on the field and not by dope on past
games.
The second chapter of Rat foot­ball
history is now to be closed. It
can be said that it is far from what
was expected a few days ago, but it
contains facts that should be of bene­fit
to all concerned. It was expected
that the Rats would beat Howard by
a very impressive score but they had
be content with a tie game and thank­ful
that they did not get heat. They
should have learned a lesson though
that will be of great value to them
all through their future football
career; that football games have to
be won on the field. Some of the
playeds were almost discouraged over
the showing made and layed the
cause to the slack training tactics of
some members of the team. Every
man on the squad should now real­ize
the need for strict adherence to
the training rules and the laws of
nature that pertain to good health.
It is not our place to give the Rats
a lecture on how to keep fit, but be­cause
so- much has been said about
their carelessness about their phy­sical
selves it seems only fair that
we should call their attention to it.
We are trying to give a correct line­up
on the team and this requires
telling some thing that could be left
out.
The season is young yet and in
spite of the reversal of form the Rats
are expected to come back strong and
do their stun5 as they should. The
next game is with Oglethorpe Rats
in Montgomery October 30. This
game will be a preleminary to the
Auburn-Swanee game in that it will
be played in the morning and the var­sity
game in the afternoon. Hard
work is now the regular program and
will be for several days in order
to have the team in readiness for
this game. Dope on the young Petrels

counted on to furnish plenty of op­position.
To the Rats we say, one

are counting on you to come back
in this next affair and show that old

is only one team that can beat you
and that is yourselves. COME ON

With Our Gridiron Foes
More interest was shown in the
Alabama-Georgia Tech contest last
Saturday than in any other game in
the South. A remarkable passing
attack won the Crimson Tide. Ala­bama
outclassed Tech in every de­partment
except in punting and even
there Tech did not have a wide mar­gin.
The Yellow Jackets made two
first downs, which tells the whole sto­ry
of their offense. They were un­able
to gain over 'Bama's line and
there was no circling the ends. On
the other hand, Alabama gained al­most
at will and threw passes when
she got ready. Marshall, right end,
who seemed to be everywhere at once,
was the star for the Jackets.
Tulane was completely outplayed
at New York City and lost to New
York University by a score of 21 to
0. Three long marches down the
field ending in touchdowns did the
work.
For the first time in history Fur-nj*
m defeated the University of Geor­gia.
The Bulldogs made a desperate
rally in the last quarter, but Furman
had gained a lead too great to be
overcome. Long runs won for the
Purple Hurricane. One for 48 yards
in the second quarter made the first
score; the other came when a pass
was intercepted and run back 97
yards. The final score was 14 to 7.
Howard, using second-string men
most of the game, won. from the Jack­sonville
State Normal, 13 to 0. Ban­croft,
hero of the game with Auburn,
scored both touchdowns and kicked
goal after the first. He put the first
one over by gaining 45 yards on two
successive plays and the last on a
line buck after the ball had been car­ried
steadily down the field.
Chattanooga and Oglethorpe bat­tled
to a 14-to-14 tie in one of the
roughest games of the season.^ Each
team registered 15 first downs. When­ever
either team would take the ball
a steady march down the field to the
opponents' 20-yard line Would re­sult,
when the defense would stif­fen
and the ball would go over. Bar­rett
and Newbern made several pret­ty
runs for Chattanooga.
Clemson and Sewanee did not have
games schedule!. The Sewanee varsi­ty
spent the afternoon playing the
Rat team,, winning handily, 48 to 0,
while Clemson took a much-needed
rest. Marquette took one from St.
Louis by 28 to 0.
Tigers Had
Hard Week
Of Practice
Beginning Monday afternoon and
continuing through Thursday, the
Tiger coaching staff has worked hard
with the squad each afternoon. Some
of the plays have been changed and
some new ones have been given.
Synder who is already a star back
has practiced placement kicks sever­al
afternoons. If he is successful in
these it will add a great deal to his
merits in the backfield.
Coach Morey carried about two
elevens to New Orleans. Instead of
the regular Thursday night mass
meeting, the student body followed
the band to the station and gave
Sthtse Tigers a send-off to victory.
The probable line-up for the Tu-iane
game is.
Burns, Left end.
Pierce, Left Tackle. ,
Carter, Left Guard.
Paterson, Center.
Cunningham, Right guard.
Pruitt, Right tackle.
Ingram, Right End.
Moulton,, Quarter back
Fisher, Left half.
Ellis, Right Half.
Shotts. Fullback.
The students at Furman have gone
in for old, delapidated automobiles
of all sorts. They are demanding
cars of any and all descriptions. Any
thing that will run on gasoline, kero­sene,
Tanlac, or Moonshine liquor, is
said to be looked upon with favor by
the students. The widespread inter­est
in football is given as the reason
for this suddon popularity of the
lowly rejuenated cars.

GRIDIRON GAB
Now that the L. S. U. game is his­tory,
followers of the Auburn Ben­gals
are casting skeptical eyes to­ward
New Orleans and the strong
Tulane team,-wondering if the Tiger
can pull a comeback after the drub­bing
received at the hands of Dona­hue's
clan. This column sees no ma­terial
reasons for pessimism over the
outcome of the game in the Cresent
City. It is true that the Tulane
Greenies are considered a much bet­ter
team than L. S. U. but we also
believe the Tigers are capable of
putting up, a far better fight than
they did la^t week at Cramton Bowl.
Everyone who saw the clash of
Tiger against Tiger last week feels
that the Plainsman have t team bet­ter
than the Louisianians. The de­feat
is attributed partly to the fact
that the Auburn boys were prone to
realize that they were up against a
good team". Auburn's backfield with
Snyder, Fisher, Nelson, and Shotts
cer'tinly was superior to anything
Donahue had to display and it is be­lieved
that these pigskin toters would
have carried the ball down the field
for a touchdown more than once had"
not" the referee saw fit to penalize the
Plainsman so frequently. Such pen­alities
causing the Auburn lads to at­tempt
reckless aerial attack or else
force them to punt.
Tulane is reported to be equally
as strong as last season and if this is
the case things are not the brightest
possible. Most Of who saw the great
Flourney run last year in Montgom­ery
doubt that the Green Wave can
launch attack as strong as the one a
year ago. A youth by the name of
Menville seems to be the biggest bet
for the Cresenc City sports and we
believe he will have a hard row if he
tries to run away from Snyder and
Fisher. It is also doubtful that he
can make so much yardage through
the line with Salter, Cunnigham, and
Wattwood watching his movements.
The fact that both Auburn and Tu­lane
have lost to Conference teams
should not affect the attendance to
any extent. This game marks the
dedication) of a new athletic bowl for
Tulane. Many Auburn supporters
will be attracted by.the Special train
leaving at 8 P. M. Friday.
Snyder has certainly earned the
right to be recognized as one of the
sweetest running backs in the South.
He has shown ability not only at cir-culing
the opponents ends but at re­ceiving
passes and plunging the line
for neat gains. Auburn is certainly
fortunate to have such a man with
yet two seasons to play.
If "Lefty" Wattwood does not get
on the mythical All-Southern team
this year it will be because the sport
writers fail to see him in action. This
Tiger does-everything an end could
be expected to do and it has been im­possible
to get him out of the play
when a back is called around his end.
It is rumored that Morey has made
quite a shift in his line. He has
shifted Long and Howard from guard
to tackle and changed Andress and
Carter to guard. All of these war­riors
are hefty linesman and should
soon adjust themselves to their new
position.
Pat Moultin was playing the game
last Saturday under quite a handi­cap
as he had been ill all the past
week and was still weak from the ef­fects.
Nevertheless Pat got off some
beautiful punts and at times he was
being rushed by the L. S. U. grid-ders.
-
Alabama seems to be in for anoth­er
big season and are steadily march­ing
toward the Southern Conference
title. Theyhanded the Yellow Jack­ets
a severe drubbing on Grant Field
last Saturday thereby removing an­other
obstacle from the path of their
march.

MONDAY^ NIGHT
Interesting talks on various sub­jects
marked the regular meeting of
the S. A. M. E. Monday night, Oct.
18.
L. S. Whitten gave a very inter­esting
discussion of the "German
Crossing of the Duna River." He
told of the numerous obstacles which
had to be overcome in order to suc­cessfully
carry out their project. He
said there had not been much ad­vancement
in pontoon bridge con­struction
since the Civil War.
E. B. M'Cutchen then told us of
"The Construction of an Acqueduct
for the National Capitol." He out­lined
the plans drawn up by the En­gineers.
He said the project will be
completed by June, 1927.
E. T. Martin told of "Our Indebt­edness
to the Old Surveyor." He
told of the many crude instruments
used and of the amazing accuracy of
the work done with them. He said
that the first real surveying was
done in the valley of the Nile River.
E. L. Kipp gave an interesting
discussion of "Hydraulic Mining
Projects in California." He told of
the improvements that have been
made in mining and that mining pro­gress
is now hindered by lack of la­bor-.
President Putnam then told us
that we should vpick out some sone
thing to do; as sponsoring a hike or
barbecue. Lieutenant Bowley said
he was in favor of that also arid as­sured
us of his cooperation.
All Engineers turn out next Mon­day

Last Sunday night the topic "The
Constitution of the United States"
was discussed at Christian Endeavor.
Talks were made upon the different
phases of the Constitution; .its foun­dation,
what it is, how it can be
amended, some of its amendments.
Mr. Hay, the new minister told of the
effect of the prohibition amendment
from his own experience and what a
noted Australian investigator had
told him. Mr. Hay's topic was:
America, the Eyes of the World are

CONFERENCE AT
MONTGOMERY
The Y. W. C. A held its third an­nual
state conference at Camp
•Grandview on tke weekend of the
7, 8, and 9 of this month. Camp
Grandview is situated just out of
Montgomery and is the place where
many conferences and meetings as
well as summer camps are held.
These meetings have created around
the camp an atmosphere which in­voluntarily
makes for success. One
feels on arriving at Grandview that
there is a real spirit of comradeship
and fun about the place and this feel­ing
encourages friendships and brings
about- many good effects. The at­mosphere
which surrounds the camp
is inducive to real thinking and
many good plans and ideas were
created and went into effect at the
last State conference.
The situation is ideal as it is in
such a central part of the state that
a large number of colleges were able
to be represented. It is very well
fitted for week-end meetings and
camps. There is an ideal outdoor
swimming pool, among other recrea­tional
features and there is plenty
of "bunk room" so that a large crowd
may be accomodated.
There were girls at the conference
from every college in Alabama and
including the normal school with the
exception of Florence. They were
a representative group of girls as
there-were adherents of all the many
different fundamental problems there
who each presented the problem ac­cording
to their point of view for the
benefit of the group. Thus each
delegate was able to get a new view­point
and outlook to take back to the
campus on their same old problems
as well as a new idea of some new
plans and problems which have es­caped
their attention.
There were several very good
speakers included on the program
including Dr. Agnew of Woman's
College and Miss Striklin of Birming­ham.
Miss Striklin is the only wo­man
principle of a Birmingham
school" and is very intellectual and
outstanding.
Aside from the meetings at which
the conference was entertained by
speakers there ~ were discussion
groups held which were led by very
skilled leaders and advanced think­ers.
There were some really good
things brought out in these various
groups. There were two of them
and the things discussed were: How
may I come into close personal con­tact
with God? and "Science versus
religion.''
Lucy Stephens of Montevallo was
elected chairman of the conference
for next year with "Sis" Phillips as
manager.
Auburn sent six delegates who
were Mildred Cheshire, Beth Sie-bold,
Allye Hughes, Dot Taylor,
Eunice Stinnett, and Catherine Hare.

M0NEYT0 BURN
MONEY TO BURN
$562,751,466.
That was the nations fire loss in
1925, according to the National Bo­ard
of Fire Underwriters, the coun­try's
authority on the subject.
$13,689, 432. that was the in­crease
over 1924. The increase in
the annual fire-loss-since 1923 is
$403,759,969.
Who pays this tremendous annual
tribute to destruction? Not only the
'.owners of the property destroyed.
Not only the families of the 20,000
persons who die in fires every year.
Every resident of the country pays
his share.
For this loss, exceeding half a bil­lion
dollars annually, is what keeps
i
insurance-rates high. These destru­ctive
fires—one dwelling-house burns
in our country every four minutes
day and night. This is what makes
it necessary for the taxpayers to
maintain fire departments. The Na­tional
fire-loss is a problem. For
that reason, President Coolidge has
set apart this week for public in­structions
as to keep the causes of
fires and means of preventing them.
Just what this half billion-dol-fc,
r drain jon our national wealth
means may be visualized this way—
Uncle Sam, in taxing the incomes of
his people, allows an exemption of
$200 for every child. That is ex­empted,
presumably, because it is
sufficient to keep a child in school
for a year. On this basis, it appears
that the money WE WASTE BY
FIRES EVERY YEAR WOULD
KEEP MORE THAN 200,000 CHIL­DREN
IN SCHOOL.
Yet we go on wasting it—forit is
waste because it can be prevented
Insurance experts and fire depart­ment
officials and engineers firmly
state that 75 per cent of the fires
that cause this "tremendous loss are
preventable.
How? By being careful with mat­ches,
cigars, anoj cigarettes. Cer-f
tainly; that would help. By keeping
chimneys clean so that they don't
throw burning embers upon roofs?
Surely, that's a wise precaution. All
measures of common-sense careful­ness
are necessary. .
But caution alone won't save our
nation $562,751,466. What is more
needed is precaution. The reason
why buildings burn is that they are
built so that they will burn. The
fundamental way is to "build so that
they won't burn."
This does'nt necessarily mean that
the average home-owner must adopt
expensive masonry constructions to
substitute the traditional American
wood-frame house. It .means to
build wisely with wood—use wood
but protect it at its most vulnerable
points.
The development of modern build­ing
material has made this possible
at a cost no greater than that of un­protected
construction. For examp­le:
A wood frame can be sheathed
with incombustible frame a gypsum
lath—literally a rock lath—can be
used in place of tinder-like lath. An
artistic and beautifut exterior finish
can be put on the house through the
use of colorful stucco. Or brick or
stone may be used. The roof can be
slate, asbestos, cement tile or other
fire-resistive material. Insulation
and fire-stopping can be installed in
one operation between the walls, and
floors and over ceilings through the
the use of dry-fill gypsum.
This is the path to an appreciable
reduction in our enormous annual
fire loss and protection for yourself
and your family: FIRE SAFE
CONSTRICTION.
How much money have you to
burn?

GOOD PROGRAM
AT WEBSTERIAN
TUESDAY NIGHT
The Websterian Literary Society
enjoyed a splendid program at its
regular meeting last Tuesday at se­ven
o'clock. Several interesting talks
were made by members of the socie­ty.
At this meeting Rats Matthews
and Baird were admitted to member­ship.
We extend a most cordial
welcome to the many men on the
campus that are not members of
any society. The Websterian al­ways
has peppy meetings. Let us
see some more new members at the
next meeting at seven o'clock next
Tuesday, Room 305 Main Building.
WIRT HAS FINE
MEETING TUES.
The weekly meeting of the Wirt
Literary Society on Tuesday night
was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone.
A large crowd was present, and many
new members were added to the ros­ter
of the society. They were given
a cordial welcome, and they seemed
glad that they came to the Wirt.
L. J. Maxwell spoke on "Life and
Works of Dr. Charles W. Eliot". He
gave a brief summary of Dr. Eliot's
life, and mentioned some of his im­portant
works. Mr. Maxwell pointed
out that Dr. Eliot has long been con­sidered
one of the great educators
of the country, and that his death
caused universal regret.
"A conversation between two
Rats" was given by Rats Malone and
Stephens They talked about Au­burn
life in general, and they said
they would be glad when they became
sophomores. William Johnson spoke
on "Practical Pan-Americanism",
and he said that the purpose of the
Pan-American conferences is to pro­mote
peace, and to settle all disputes
amicably. The first Pan-American
conference was held in 1889.
J. B. Ruff in had" as his subject
"Keat's Theory of Beauty." He
gave an account of Keat's life, and
said that beauty is the main theme
of all his works. His main beauties
are of nature, of phrase and of hu­man
passion. Keats could see beauty
in everything.
M. T. Gowder spoke on "The Big­gest
Fish I Ever Saw". It was very
humorus, and was enjoyed by every­one.
Henry Wi.se was appointed
Vice-President of the society. It
was announced that the Declamation
Contest will be held soon. Many can­didates
signified their intention of
trying out for the contest, and the
Wirt will have some very good ma­terial
to select from.
The members cf the society ex­pressed
themselves as being well
pleased with the social that was giv­en
last Tuesday evening, and the
Wirt appreciates the efforts of every­one
who helped to make it a success.
It is planned to initiate the new
members at an early date, and a
large crowd will be initiated this
year.
Watch for Cupid.
After the program was completed
the following elections wer.e held:
Dean Collins to the program com­mittee.
.
A. L. Smith, Seargant-at-Arms.
Mr. B. Wiley announced that there
would be a social next Saturday im­mediately
after the Matiiiee. " All

BEEN POSTED AT DOOR
OF THE MAIN BUILDING
During the past week the grades
of the students who took, re-exami­nation
have been posted at the
door of the Main Building and on
the bulletin board inside. These ex­aminations
were taken durng the
week of September 27-October 2.
The results show that of the seven­ty-
six students that took them eleven
failed. There were no failures, how­ever,
among the grades of the stu­dents
who took re-examination on
more than one subject. The per­centage
of students failing in these
exams amounts to about 15 per cent
of the number of students taking
them.
Y.W.C.A.CAMP
WILLBE HELD
Enthusiastic meeting of the Au­burn
Y. W. C. A-. was featured by an
address by Miss Maria Whitson, an
alumnae of Auburn. Miss Whitson
spoke on "The correct lighting for
students rooms." She emphasised
the fact that most college students
have high enough wattage, but they
are not properly shaded. She also
gave a very interesting, but brief
history of light. After her talk, she
entertained the group with a negro
sermon.
Miss Dobbs told us of a boy in Kil-by
prison, whereas asked for books
of literature and grammar, so that
he may prepare himself for the writ­ing
of short stories and novels.

SPEEDERS ARE CAUGHT;
STREETS ARE PAID FOR
(Continued from page 1)
Daredevils were caught by the police
forced and rushed to the town court,
where they left all their football and
board money for safe keeping in the
form of Paving Investments.
The Ford was driven and urged
onward by its owner, W. H. H. Put­nam,
and the Essex by Neal Collins
who is the proud possessor of this
1919 baby.These cars were young
once, so the owner of each says. But
upon observing each, the statement
seems absurd. The writer was once
a riveter in a boiler shop, and after
being near these machines or cars
for less than two minutes he had to
go to the Doctor with a severe case
of pains In the head, caused by the
assortment of pounds, knocks and
pitiful squeaks which emerged from
something that got caught under the
hood and sounded like it couldn't
get out.
For racing the Essev is equipted
with truck tires and the Ford has
toesacks for intertubes. However
miracles will sometimes happen. As
to how these drivers got over 25
miles an hour out of these cars is
baffling all students in Physics and
Mechanics. Various rumors are cir­culating.
Chemical students are of
the opinion that either camphor or
ether was put in the gas tank. The
Engineers lay the blame to the Ag.
students, saying that while they were
in the swamps of Ag. bottom, each
driver obtained several ounces of
Swamp juice for his car.
Anyway the law had its way, and
our streets are now about paid for.
We feel tho that air should take no­tice,
especially those who are out
for Cross Country. Be sure to slow
down to 10 miles an hour when cross­ing
at street intersections, or you'll
buy somj pavements sure.

work was of the highest calibre. His
recent performances quark him as
possibly the most outstanding back
developed at Auburn since the reign
of "Ed" Shirling and John Shirey.
In the line "Square Jaw" Salter is
a tower of strength and few enemy
plays will gain over him. Watwood,
Baskin, Cuningham, Howard, Long,
Patterson and the rest of the crew
will stack up with the best of 'em and
can be depeifded upon to render ex­cellent
accounts of themselves in
Saturday's encounter. Tuxworth,
Shotts, Ellis, Turner, Moulton and
Allen are slated to cause no end of
worry to the ponderous Tulane for­ward
wall.
The Tigers were given a great send-off
Thursday night when the entire
student body engaged in a torch light
parade. It was a magnificient spec­tacle,
a yelling, howling line of stu­dents
four abreast and extending over
six* hundred yards. Each man brand­ished
a stick around the top of which
a rag had been wrapped, soaked in
oil and ignited. The spectacle was
sufficient to inspire any team to a
glorious victory.
WEEKLY MEETING OF LIONS
CLUB HELD AT AUBURN INN

of Commerce, with the woman's civic
club, have pledged their support arid
all are well-started.
The hotel project, which has been
under consideration for, some time,
has not yet fully developed, but it
can well be prophesied that Auburn
will have a new, modern, upto-date
hotel in the near future.
A new undertaking was brought
before the club for their approval,
and which was approved one hundred
per cent. The new idea was started
last Sunday by the Y. M. C. A. C.
Clayton Phillips was elected chair­man
of the enterprise and it was he
who brought the undertaking before
the Lion's Club today. An employ­ment
bureau has been started to help
the student's in their quest for spare
jobs about the town. It is hoped
through this bureau that many boys
will get to remain in college who
might otherwise have to leave. The
bureau headquarters are situated un­der
Langdon Hall in the Y. M. C. A.
office.
"Slick" Moulton gave a report on
his trip to New York, telling how
hard it was for a "country boy" to
keep out of the jam in the large city.
"Slick" refused to prophesy on the
game for next Saturday, claiming
that he would rest up after his good
prophesy of last Saturday.
The club voted on having a Hal­lowe'en
party next Thursday night
at Smith Hall. The program, of
course, will be hastily prepared, but
Lion Young agreed to broadcast it
over station WAPI. Then too, the
club decided that Thursday night
would be better than Friday night,
as most of the members will go 'to
Montgomery to see Auburn beat Se-wanee
on Saturday.
The information on the new fire
wagon which has been under consid­eration
was not decided on, but will
be considered more fully at the next
meeting. It has been decided that
Auburn needs a new fire truck and
the plans are being hurriedly exam-
The Student Council at the Uni­versity
of North Carolina have ask­ed
the editors of the Carolina Maga­zine
to resign as a result of some no­torious
publication which they have
issued through the Magazine recent­ly.
It seems that they go too free
with their criticism of the Faculty.
The two men in question have 'taker.
an appeal, but it looks like the action
of the Council was a real piece of
work for the Council to undertake in
upholding the Student Government.

"Following upon the heels of the
action of the senior class recently
asking that relations between the two
Alabama state colleges be resumed,
tHe alumni came back to the village
for the annual homecoming.
"This, afforded us an opportunity
of seeing what they thought of the
matter. As far as we can find out
they are all "strong for it". The
Auburn Engineer holds nothing a-gainst
Alabama. We see no reason
why we should not enter into athletic
relationship with our sister college,
just the same as we enter social rela­tions
with them. Any prejudices that
we may have surely must be either
second hand or personal. Auburn is
game. If they beat us (which they
won't) they will not be the first ones
to do it. That's not the idea tho.
The thing is, we are sports enough to
admit we are willing to forget old
quarrels, whatever they are about,
and start things anew."

of hazing. In some places
it is being tried out to see what will

We dare say that it will be a long

Parker Duofold Pens from his perilous

the new Stevens Hotel, Chicago.
' One pen struck on asphalt, the other

more convincing than any guarantee. So
we have shown by a series of heroic tests
that the new Parker Duofold Pen with

no fall on corridor or classroom floor can
harm it.
