Frosh Team Loses
Southern Game
By One Point
Scoring once in the second quar­ter
and again in the third the
Birmingham-Southern frosh grid-men
vanquished the fighting Tiger
Cubs Saturday afternoon, by the
close score of 13-12.
Although the local frosh were
the first to cross the zero mark,
the invading foe soon came from
behind and tied the score at 6-6
early in the second quarter. In
this, the first encounter the fresh­man
squad has been on the low
end of the score since Coach Jor­dan
became their grid mentor, an­nual
fracas the local squad was
outclassed from the very first of
the game. It was ony through the
valiant efforts of the baby Bengals
on the offense that checked the
powerful Panther foe.
No Early Action
The ehtire first period was mere­ly
a pantomime battle between
the two cats, each waiting for the
other to take the offensive. Neither
team came into anything like scor­ing
distance until late in the quart­er
when' the Tiger cubs pushed
deep into Southern territory,
through the fine running of those
fleet backs, McGowan and Willi-ford.
Early in the second frame
the freshies. drew first blood, but
they failed to convert the extra
point. Following close on the heels
of the Tiger score was a marker
for the invading Panther, when
substitute Clarke went over from
the four yard line. The try for the
extra point from placement went
wide and left the score tied at6-6r
Early in the second half of the
game Sands, Southern fullback,
piaked an Auburn fumble out of
the. air at a dead run, racing 55
yards for another Panther score.
The kick for the extra point was
good. Trailing by the score of 13-6,
the Tiger frosh increased their
efforts to overcome their tradi­tional
rivals. However, the injury
jinx began to play against the
local squad, forcing Spivey and
McGehee to leave the game. De­spite
these tough breaks the Ti­gers
kept fighting gamely and
pushed the pigskin across the goal
again in the last stanza, but failed
to kick the goal, leaving the trail­ing
by the score of 13-12. For the
remainder of the game the ball
see-sawed back and forth in mid-field,
with Auburn in possession
on Southern's 16-yard line at the
end of the game.
If machines are a menace to
civilization, why do so many un­employed
girls refuse to do house­work
and seek jobs in factories?
It is always fashionable to be
sensible.

Aero Club To Have
Ship Here Sunday
The Auburn Aero Club will
have a new airplane here on Sun­day
for the use of their students.
The ship, a new Taylorcraft, is
an entirely different type from
that which most of the students
of the club have been flying. While
the club will not have this plane
permanently the club plans to ob­tain
one of this type as soon as
possible if the student flyers are
sufficiently pleased with it. Since
the plane' will not be here but
one day the club hopes that a
majority of their students may
visit the field Sunday and look
the ship over.
The club now has approximately
forty members who are taking
flight instruction. Among the new
members of the club are: Robert
Mundenk, George Jeffries, Ali
Lumpkin, Dick Hall, Lee Hallo-way,
Charles Gilbert, Charles
Roberts and Henry Maulshagen.
Headed this year by Jack Steppe
and Jimmie Brown the club has
grown even larger than last year.
Still desirous of obtaining new
members the club will invite in­quiries
by anyone interested. In­formation
may be obtained at the
local airport or by calling pHVine
65.
Camera Club To Meet; See
Motion Picture Program
An illustrated lecture on "Color
Printing by the Eastman Wash-off
Relief Process"-by Cecil Brooks
and the election of officers for the
present year will be the principal
features of the next meeting of the
Auburn Camera Club on Tuesday
evening, October 5, in room 213,
Ramsay Hall, at 7 o'clock.
Student Conduct
Is Praised By
Railroad Man,
In a letter to Coach Hutsell, of
the Athletic Department, W. W.
Snow, Assistant General Passen­ger
Agent of the Atlanta and West
Point Railroad, said in regard to
student conduct on the two spec­ial
trains to Montgomery:
"I can only express my feeling
by simply saying that the con­fidence
I had in these boys was
fully justified by the splendid
manner in which they conducted
themselves the entire time. There
was very slight damage to the
equipment'. In fact, the damage
occured was what.I consider nor­mal
in the handling of any special
train and is not sufficient to justi­fy
any bill against" Auburn. As a
matter of fact, we more than ap­preciate
the splendid conduct of
these boys on the train."
Mr. Snow stated that 1,865 stu­dents'
rode the round trip to and
from the game, and 30 students
rode one way.
AGCIuUV.M.A.
Plan Program
Two Societies To Exchange
Speakers at Regular
Meeting This Year
Negotiations are in progress for
an interchange of programs be­tween
the Ag Club and the Amer­ican
Veterinary Medicine Associ­ation
to foster a cooperative spirit
between the two organizations.
At Ag Club meeting last night,
N. R. Crawford, president, an­nounced
that a speaker from the
A. V. M. A. had been invited to
speak on the next Club program,
and that an Ag member would be
sent to the veterinary body in the
near future.
Jack Cammack, chairman of the
Ag Fair committee, is planning for
an interesting program to be given
in the WPA amphitheater^ Friday
night, October 29, and committees
in the various departments are
working on exhibits to be shown
in the Agricultural Building.
Plans are underway for a de­bate
team which this year will
engage in debates at least three
or four agricultural colleges. The
team consists of two men and an
alternate, elected after tryouts be­fore
the club by vote of the memb­ers.
An' attempt is being made to
build up the Alabama Farmer, stu­dent
agriculture publication. Stu­dents
are asked to help in this
work by subscribing to the paper
at one dollar per year, and thus
enabling it to better finance it­self
through a large percentage of
national advertising.
Officers of the Club include N.
R. Crawford, president; Jack Cam-mack,
vice-president; Gregory
Oakley, secretary; Morris White,
treasurer; and H. P.. Thomas, re­porter.
N. Y. A. Employs 230 Local,
College Students
At Auburn there are 230 NYA
students. The average pay for un­dergraduates
is $12 per month, al­though
some work 40 hours for
15 dollars. Graduate students are
allowed fifty cents per hour. Au­burn's
allotment amounts to ap­proximately
$2,800 per month.
An attempt is made to give the
student the type of work appro­priate
to his course of study in
school. Such positions as labora­tory
assistants,' filing clerks, sten­ographers,
library work, and gen­eral
office work are the most com­mon
appointments.
It has been estimated that 220,-
000 students will be aided during
the coming school year by an ap­propriation
of $20,000,000 by the
National Youth Administration.
The aid funds will be shared
by all of the states. In Alabama,
1,198 college students and 2,083
school children will be helped by
the total sum amounting to $274,-
230.
The allotment for college stu­dents
will be up to $15 per mjnth,
This year graduate students have
been eliminated from direct stu­dent
aid. However, some (••lieges
may make allotments at their
own discretion to graduate stu­dents.

this fall. She is a freshman.
Tigers Entertain For New Orleans;
Greenies Ready For Hard Game
Meeting Is Held;
Students Meet
Train Sunday
Pajama-clad freshmen turned
out en masse last night for the gi­gantic
pep rally and send off for
the team as it left to engage the
Tulane Greenies in New Orleans.
Today a telegram from Jack
Adams set a similar exhibition of
spirit for the return of the Tigers.
The telegram follows:
New Orleans, La., Oct. 1, 1937
The Plainsman
Auburn, Ala.
Win Lose or Draw Stop Meet
The Team Sunday Morning 9:20
Jack Adams
Apparently determined to re­deem
the poor cheering at, the
Friday night game, hundreds of
students met in Langdon Hall for
a short pep rally before they pa­raded
with the band through the
streets to the station. The multi­colored
mass surged _ about the
train yelling as the thirty-six
members of the football squad
entrained for New Orleans.
Adams stated as he entered the
train -that he was well. pleased
with the display of spirit and in­timated
that he would expect the
students to meet the train with
the same sort of exhibition. To­day
he -confirmed the plan in a
telegram.
"The meeting tonight stands up
with any of the send-offs last
year," Adams continued, "and I
hope the spirit will build lip ev­ery
week during the season like
it has in the last week. The Tigers
have a hard schedule and, with the
student body behind them" like
this, they are sure to come through
with flying colors."
Bloodworth, Auburn Grad, Is
City Manager of Miami
Andrew W- Bloodworth, a far­mer
Auburn student, is now city
manager of Miami, Fla., having
been appointed to that position
early in the summer. Mr. Blood­worth
attended Auburn in 1912-13.
A native of Forsyth, Ga., Mr.
Bloodworth is the son of the late
Judge Bloodworth of the Geor­gia
Supreme Court. He is married
and has three children, twin girls
and Vianne, who has written poe­try
for Miami papers since she
was nine years old.
The Auburn Tigers open against
their first conference foe of the
year when they battle the Tulane
eleven in New Orleans tomorrow
afternoon. Coach Jack Meagher
and his squad of 36 members de­parted
last night with a big crowd
on hand to give them a rousing
send-off.
This game is the principal- in-tra-
conference match on this
week's offering. The attention of
the entire South will be centered
on the outcome of this conflict.
Both teams made good starts into
their schedules by inaugural vic­tories,
Tulane downing Clemson,
7-0, in a hard-fought affair, and
the Plainsmen taking Southern
into stride, 19-0.
Odds Are Even
The odds on the outcome are
about even. The Greenies' narrow
victory over Clemson should not

is big and tough and was
expected to give Coach Red Daw­son's
outfit a tough battle, al­though
most of the experts did
look for a margin greater than
one touchdown. In John Andrews,
Tulane probably has the best full­back
in the S. E. C. His defensive
work against Clemson was great.
Pete Dalovosio, end, and Dud Mat­tis,
right half, also stood out on de­fense,
while Warren Brunner and
Paul Krueger took care of the of­fensive
duties.
Offensive and defensive man­euvering,
blocking and a goal-line
punch was stressed in practice this
week by the Auburn grid mentors.
The coaches make no secret of the
fact that their squad has lots of
potential ability, but is still un­polished
and lacks experience. Tne
contention is that the Tigers will
have to brush up on their block­ing,
to enable the fleet halfbacks
a chance to get going. '

STOP A MINUTE TO READ THE
EDITORIALS ON THIS PAGE!
It is rather amusing, yet unfortunate,
sight to watch the students "read" the
Plainsman when it appears on the streets.
First they glace hurriedly over the head-'
lines, then turn to read the gossip appear­ing
in "Cats and Canaries," and finally
chuck the paper carelessly aside to con­tinue
their rush to home or class. Only a
few of them take the paper home to read
and digest.
The Plainsman is a student newspaper,
edited and written by the students, and
designed to give, as well as possible, a cross
section of student life, problems, and opin­ions-
News is printed to keep students
posted on campus activity, editorials are
written to invite thought and action, and
the Plainsman Forum is maintained; to
show student reaction and thought. How­ever,
the paper cannot be successful in its
purpose unless it is read.
Judging from the few letters written to
the editors, there is but little time spent
in reading the editorials and less time spent
in thinking over what they contain. Edi­torials
appearing on this page are not in­tended
to be the final authority on prob­lems
they deal with. Each editorial, neces­sarily
written by one person, could not
possibly show every side to all the quest­ions
and problems. They are but the
thought of the writer designed to commend
worthy action, attack undesirable action,
introduce a problem, or give information
on some subject.
Students should cultivate the habit cf
reading the editorials and expressing
themselves about them. Little is accomp­lished
unless action is taken. We invite
action. Read these editorials and write
your opinion on the problems they dis­cuss.
SEE TO IT THAT YOUR LAMPS
ARE WELL POLISHED
Friendly hostilities should break forth
soon upon this campus with a vigor that
might well be envied by our ancestral con­testants
in the Far East. Our thanks should
go fo that body, the Interfraternity Coun­cil
for having provided this inter-group
conflict. It is the most efficient and con-sistant
set-up that has ever been provided
for interfraternity sports competition.
It might well be remembered that a
great deal of time was spent in the draw­ing
up of such a plan. But that is not
enough consideration. The group to whom
we are responsible is a smart, wide-awake
one. Just as a preface to the log of their
achievments, it will suffice to say that
the non-fraternity same as the fraternity
groups can well expect to see well directed
attention given to the matters which will
come within their community of interests.
It matters not whether you fall in the
Japanese or the Chinese group, it would
be well not to put too many stakes upon
your already gathered potentialities. This
war was designed to provide plenty of in­teresting
competition. All the regulars and
reserves should have already received a
thorough drilling. The major skirmishes
will begin in a very short while; then your
fate will have soon been decided. It is so
designed that there is too much at stake for
any faction to afford to sleep on duty.
There has been an especially small number
of credit points designed for those members
who fail to enter with the right spirit and
preparedness.
It hardly seems probable that any memb­er
of the two factions will forget the im­portance
of his putting all he has into the
conflicts. But it, too, must be remembered
that this will be a long seige, lasting all the
year with many different meetings and of
a varied nature. It will take intensive
training to evidence sufficient proof of
one's being enough the superior to take
away the grand trophy.
THE GLEE CLUB COMES THROUGH,
GETTING AN APPROPRIATION
It is the just deserts of the Executive
Council that they be commended for the
action taken in their appropriating funds
for the operation of the Glee Club. We, too,
have long been aware of the necessity of
this grant.
There is hardly any other extra curricu-lar
organization upon this campus that
renders a larger community of benefits
for the attention given it. We are proud
of our Glee Club. Their performances have
been a credit to the school and the organi­zation.
The group made quite an extended
tour last year, and the ovation given them
was large.
It has been the case in past years that
this organization, like many other like
campus groups, has suffered from the lack
of proper financial assistance. In fact, form­erly,
members have had to bear the brunt
of these inconsistences by contributing a
sum of five dollars to provide a place for
their taking part in the Glee Club work.
Naturally this worked a handicap upon the
functioning of the organization, especially
due to the fact that there was no great
stimulus to maintain a large membership
participation by students. Now this obstacle
has been removed; there is no doubt that a
much larger and more efficient Glee Club
will be the result of the financial assistance.
It is our edditorial opinion that our Glee
Club is really going places this year, so we,
along with Lawrence Barnett, director of
the Glee Club, feel it a gilded duty to urge
all students who are interested in such
work and who have some talent of such
nature to report to a Glee Club meeting im­mediately.
It might suffice to add that col­lege
credit may be gotten through mem­bership
and work in the organization.
WHY NOT GIVE CO-ED GLEE CLUB
ANOTHER TRY THIS YEAR
Last year an attempt was made to orga­nize
a girl's glee club on the campus. The
attempt failed because of lack of interest
on the part of the co-eds. It seems that
such a project would be likely to succeed
this year in view of the increase in the
number of girls attending school here.
There is a large number of girls here now
who transferred from Montevallo, Hunt­ingdon,
and Judson where they had train­ing
and experience in this activity:' This
number, coupled with the co-eds who re­sponded
to the call last year, should pro­vide
a group large enough to make the idea
of organizing the club practical.
Boys in school here have a large field
of activities to choose from while the field
open to girls is comparatively limited.
Now is the time for action on this project
while the college is enlarging its program
of extra-curricula activities. A bit of in­terest
on the part of the co-eds and other
concerned parties would carry a great deal
of weight with the college authorities at
this time.
Such an addition to the field of activi­ties
would offer some cultural training to
girls, develop their talents, and, at the
same time, be an added inducement for
more girls to attend school here. It would
fill a definite need that has been felt for
years on the campus.
The idea and opportunity but await the
impetus of some interested party or par­ties
for their culmination.

Editor,
The Auburn Plainsman,
Dear Sir:
It seems as though my very mild admon­ishing
of your paper did not set so well with
Candy W. But, apparently, it did not seem to
have much effect upon the quality of material
in your paper and the getting it out for dis­tribution
once the foul bits of matter are
thrown into one conglomerate mess.
I was upbraided and reprimanded in^. most
thorough manner. The writer even went as
far as to call me names, which I now in turn
revert to not only the fog-brained members
of the Fourth Estate who are supposed to
gather the gossip and get it printed for us to
lap up but also include Mr. Candy W. By the
way, I don't like the name. If that be his right
moniker one could hardly expect much better
judgement of a newspaper or any other such
contraption.
What I want to know is, why don't you get
the paper out, even as foul as it is, before
lamp lighting time? Or at least let it get out
at the same time every issue? Friday it came
out at noon, then Wednesday it came out at
six, and I guess Friday it won't come out at
all or until Saturday.. I guess it must be a game
of guess when.
Last time I wrote about the editorial page.
What I said still goes as there has been no
change in it. The, front page joins the other
pages in being lousy. The stuff appearing on
it is nothing but a directory of the students,
at times, and but a bunch of paid publicity
the rest of the time. It doesn't begin to cover
the news on the campus as you so finely
said you would.
The whole paper is awful and the only rea­son
I read it is to see how much sorrier it
gets every time. The only thing I can say
for you is that you had the fortitude to pub­lish
my first letter. I wonder if you will have
as much this time.
Your friend (?)

The Origin Of Modern Greeks
By JOHN B. THOMAS
The college fraternity system is as old as
the republic it serves, for it was in 1776 that
the first Greek letter organization came into
existence. In those days it was customary for
students at William and Mary, the second
oldest college in America, to gather in the
Raliegh tavern in Williamsburg, Virginia, to
discuss their daily affairs. On the night of
December 5, 1776, five of them remained after
the others departed.
When they left Phi Beta Kappa had been
born. A secret motto, a grip, and a ritual were
adopted. A silver metal with stars symboliz­ing
Fraternity, Morality, and Literature, was
adopted as the insignia of membership.
Three years later the society began to ex­pand.
Chapters were established at Yale, Har­vard,
and Dartmouth. Soon it became known
because of its honorary nature. For this rea­son,
as other fraternities were established,
they did not consider themselves competitors.
After a half century of existence, Phi Beta
Kappa became the scholarship honor society
as it is known today.
Kappa Alpha, established at Union College,
Schenectady, New York, in 1825, is recog­nized
as the oldest fraternity in existence to­day.
It was followed in 1827 by Sigma Phi
and Delta Phi, both of which were established
at that same institution. Within several years
three other fraternities were started at Union.
Thus that college may well he called the
"Mother of Fraternities."
As colleges increased in number and en­rollment,
new fraternities were needed. Ac­cording
to statistics released in 1935, there
are 77 national fraternities with 2,713 chap­ters
and a total membership of 742,719. Of
these chapters, 1,547 own houses valued at
$75,000,000. These statistics do not include
the many professional, departmental, and
honorary fraternities.
Originally fraternities consisted of inde­pendent
chapters loosely bound together by
common principles and a common name. Now
they are thoroughly organized national in­stitutions,
many of them with central offices
and staffs. Conventions of each fraternity are
held annually or biennially. Here fraternity
policies are determined by undergraduate and
alumni delegates. This form of national or­ganization
is native to American academic
soil. Many societies have risen, flourshed for
a time and died. Greek letter fraternities have
endured for over a century.

Come tomorrow night and a bunch of
studes depart for the city of the Bayous to
witness our little dispute withe Green Wave
of N'orleans. The Alumni running loose
around there have planned a gala college night
and one and all concerned are prepared to
blow it out in no uncertain fashion. And it
should be that we'uns will blow the crest off
the Green Wave, thereby damping their ardor
no little. And taking the first step toward the
S. E. C. title, which we have a good chance
for in spite of 'Bama, L. S. U. and the ex­perts,
who don't know any more about it
than we do—and we don't know from noth­ing.
The last being the only statement we have
made since we began this thing that will be
agreefl with almost unanimously—except per­haps
for "Bosom Pal" and we have come to
the conclusion that he probably even cusses
himself out. He must have dyspepsia or some­thing.
And contrary to popular belief we do like
some things, in fact we envy: Tookers energy,
Stelzenmullers average in school, Todds way
with the wimmin, people who haven't got
eight o'clock classes every morning, and most­ly
the one who finally wins the bankroll the
Tiger Theater has been dangling before our
eager grasp for lo these many weeks.
And it might be a fitting suggestion that the
roll be split up among they who have the en­durance
to sit through most of those Wednes­day
night shows. And to think that some peo­ple
actually make money making things such
as we have to witness most of the time.
But then it evens itself up—cause on Sun­day
you can take your best gal to the show
and listen while her heart goes pitter-pat at
"Pretty Boy" Taylor's gamboling about the

edition and the same on trying to fit too
By John Godbold
Most observers laugh when there is talk of
Justice Black being prevented from serving
on the Supreme Court. But laugh though you
they may it is entirely possible that he might
be removed from his new post and by no
other body than the Court itself.
A former United States judge in the Virgin
Islands has petitioned for permission to file
a formal complaint against Justice Black on
the grounds that he cannot sit in a body whose
salaries' he helped to raise when he was a
member of the Senate. The petition will be
read before the Supreme Court some time next
week. If the Court so desires it can allow the
filing of the complaint, and at the resulting
hearing rule Justice Black off the Court. Of
course the chance isn't one in a thousand
that the august justice have any intention of
taking any such step. But after all, Roosevelt
tried to force some of the justices off the
Court; it would be irony indeed if those self­same
men forced Roosevelt's appointee off
the' same body. The venerable justices would
probably have the biggest laughs of their lives
and so would many million other American
who have opposed Roosevelt's court-change
propsals.
For a time it was doubtful if the new justice
would assume his seat Monday when the
session of the Court begins: but on his return
from his European vacation Justice Black
informed reporters that they might find him
next week in his office in Supreme Court
Building.
That statement needs no explanation; Black
plans to be there when the proceedings begin.
From England comes the not at all surpris­ing
news that English Insurance companies
will no longer issue policies protecting prop­erty,
in case of war. That little bit of news
carries with it an enormous amount of im­portance.
It is a further indication that the
far-seeing people of the world are looking
ahead and seeing another "great conflict."
The undeclared war in China and the slaught­er
in Spain are giving to the world a faint
indication of what the next war may be like;
it will make the last one look Ike a tea party.
Today three-fourths of the countries of the
world are sitting on a powder keg a dozen
times larger and more powerful than that
on which Europe rested in 1914. Some day
in some place—who can tell where—maybe
on the Russian-Japanese border, maybe in the
Mediterranean, maybe in Spain—an "inci­dent"
is going to occur and the fight will be
on. And America must be kept out of it. When
it comes we are going to find our neutrality
laws as futile as a wall of straw. The prob­lems
the government faces now in invoking
the laws which are supposed to keep us but
of war will be simple as compared with the
problems which we will face in the future
conflict. Legislation alone cannot keep us out.
It will take public sentiment—vast and unan­imous,
and cooperation down to the last citi­zen.
Our country swore to stay out of the last
great war, but slowly and relentlessly we
were drawn in. The next time we will stay out
if we want to strongly enough to do so and
work strongly enough to do s.
The "Sleeping Beauty" is dead. Patricia
McGuire, Illinois stenographer, who lay in a
coma for 67 months died of pneumonia. For
over five years the comely girl remained un­conscious,
a victim of sleeping sickness. Ever
so often some newspaper would burst forth
with a story to the effect that the "Sleeping
Beauty" was awakening, but never did she
awake. And finally Death wrote "Finis" to a
tragic story.
Auburn's outstanding news of the day con­cerns
the splendid behavior and morale of
the two thousand students who rode the
trains to Montgomery and returned. Conduct­ing
themselves to the last person as ladies and
gentlemen, the Auburn student body proved
to college authorities, to the public and them­selves
that they can and will cooperate in
mass excursions to football games. May there
be more in the future.
much stuff into this one. And still we mer­rily
roll along. Such S life.
Quotes and Notes: Hambone says, "The
fruit crop is mighty short this year, but they
say they's got a mighty big apple down in
Carolina." There doesn't seem to be any
shortage in the apple harvest here.this year
even if colling breezes have run the applers
in off the terrace.

GOOD ANY TIME
S p o r t s C h a t t er
By Bill Troup
Some' of our finest footballers
become our finest citizens—Pres­ident
Franklin Delano Roosevelt
used to play tackle and fullback
for dear old Groton—The con­temporary
critics said that he was
much better than fair—Supreme
Justice Harlan F. Stone was a
smashing guard at Amhearst—
Robert Baron, assistant secretary
of State, was a Harvard captain—
So was Hamilton Fish, congress­man,
and an all-american tackle
along with it—Remember "Curly"
of the Three Stooges? Take a look
at his double, Happy Sivell—Se­wanee
is to* play Dartmouth in
1940, at Hanover, New Hampshire.
Pop Warner, of Temple, gained
his 300th victory in 43 years of
coaching last Saturday—He coach­ed
at Iowa State, Georgia, Cor­nell,
Carlisle Indians, Pittsburg,
Standford before coming to Temple
in 1933. Joel Eaves, that great Au­burn
athlete, already has made a
big hit with Sewanee, where he
is assisting Coach Heck Clark, who
considers Eaves an invaluable aid
—California really started their
football season off in a big way
by tripping St. Mary's, 30-7—It
backs up their talk of a Rose Bowl
team.
Babe Hollinbery, Washington
State coach, rates Joe Gray, Ore­gon
State, as the best back on the
Pacific coast this season—Gilbert
Huffman, brother of Vernon Huff­man,
Indiana's great football star,
has entered Tennessee—The show­ing
of Pelham Sitz in the Auburn-
Southern game last Friday backed
up the opinion that he can be re­lied
upon as a hard-driving full­back—
Football officials in the
Southern conference must run 50
yards in seven seconds before they
will be given assignments this
fall—
This department would like to
see the Athletic Council take some
action regarding minor sports at
Auburn—Take boxing for example
—At their only exhibition last
year the gym was filled to ca­pacity,
which indicates the inter­est
that the students take in this
sport—At the University of Mary­land
the boxing team is self-sup­porting,
besides supporting other
minor sports—One meet alone
drew 10,000 fans last year—Let's
get the log foiling, gentlemen..
On the basis of practice show­ing
and last year's record, the
following teams shape up as pos­sible
leaders in the football i-ealui.
East—Pittsburg, Yale, Colgate,
and Boston College; Middle West
—Minnesota and Nebraska; South­east—
Tennessee, Alabama and L.
S. U.; Southwest—Arkansas, Texas
A. & M., and Texas; South—Duke,
Pacific Coast—California and
Washington—According to Coach
Jack Meagher a center must have
ambition, perseverance, sense of
timing and rythm.
Auburn's biggest asset at the
moment is a second team that is
not but a hairline behind the first
array that took the field against
Southern—Charlie Haynes'worth
showed possibilities of developing
into a great fullback before the
season is over.
Remember: Thoughts are things.
Plans Are Laid For
Tennis Team
Although the zest and feeling
of fall is in the air the swish of
rackets, the sound of bouncing
balls, calls of "Ready?" "Serve!"
can be heard on the country
club courts as the Tiger Tennis
Team begins their fall practice,
with the expectations of having a
great year with plenty of good
results to show for their hard
work.
Martin Lide,. captain of the
team, has improved his play dur­ing
the summer, winning the State
YMCA singles crown. He also was
a member of the doubles aggre­gation
that annexed first place.
Tentative plans are being made
fdr tourneys with Georgia, Tech,
Tennessee, Alabama, and other
schools in the Conference in the
early spring.
Anyone who is interested in
trying out for positions on the
team can see Bill Shofner, mana­ger
of the squad, at the Delta
Sigma Phi house.

Befte Davis On
Opelika Screen
Again a.photoplay that has plen­ty
of scope for her unique emo­tional
talents, Bette Davis comes
to the Opelika Theatre Sunday in
"That Certain Woman," and seem­ed
to delight successive audiences
as this Warner Bros, melodrama
unreeled its fast-moving" action
upon the screen.
Adventure, romantic love, mar­tyrdom,
mother-love, are all por­trayed
by blonde Bette in the
course' ot this exciting drama,
which was both written and di­rected
by the celebrated Edmund
Goulding. Her part in the play is
much more important than the one
in her recent "Kid Galahad,! with
Edward G. Robinson.
'That Certain Woman" is a story
about the widow of a slain gangs­ter,
who despite the scorn of the
world and the persecution of ene­mies,
wins her way to business
success and to the affection of a
worthwhile man.
Henry Fonda carries the male
romantic interest, while others in
the cast include Ian Hunter, Anita
Louise, Donald Crisp, Hugh O'-
Connell, Mary Phillips and Her­bert
Rawlinson.
Locales of the action include
Monte Carlo1, with some very
striking sets, London, Paris and
various other Old World capitals,
as well as New York City.
Miss Davis won the academy
award for the best performance in
1935, and her enthusiastic fans
are saying that her present pic­ture
may put her in line for an­other
one for 1937.

tion. Pig Walker did a good job
in the Southern game, but only
weighs 165. The other two field
generals are litttle John Davis, a
150 pounder, and Jjilian Fowler.
All need more pounds to carry
them tthrough the strenuous sche­dule
that Auburn faces this sea­son.
Getty Fairchild, a 187 pound
sophomore, and Norman Perry,
the cannon-built lad, have both
been tried in the quarterback role
this week. Fairchild was formerly
the heaviest of the fullbacks and
Perry a 175 pound halfback. Both
will see action if they measure
up no. 1 blockers in their new
positions.
Auburn's lineup will probably
be the same as that for the South­ern
game last week.
A. S. M. E. To Hold Meeting
Of Interest Monday
A meeting of interest to all aer­onautical,
industrial, and mechan­ical
engineers, both freshmen and
upperclassmen will be held by the
student branch of the American
Society of Mechanical Engineers
at seven Monday evening in roorr
109 Ramsay. Besides the regular
business the program will consist
of talks by several members of
the engineering faculty on perti­nent
subjects in the engineering
field.
An aviation program is being
planned for a similar meeting in
the near future; this program will
be the first of its nature ever to
bbe presented on the campus, and
it is expected to attract attention'
even outside the confines of the
engineering school.
Men Turn Out For
Cross Country
"The best prospects since the
graduation of Gait, Funchess and
Pihl" was Track Coach Wilbur
Hutsell's statement when asked
about the outlook of this year's
cross-country track team. Coach
Hutsell went on to say that the
squad is the largest he has had
since his coming to Auburn, and
he is expecting big things from
them.
With the returning of veterans
Monsey Gresham, Ed Duncan, El­mer
Bissell, L. D. Jacobs, R. E.
Wilson and Jim Sw&nner, Auburn
has a high-calibre nucleus. These
men are all wearers of the cross
•country "A" and have been look­ing
good in the early striding ses­sions.
Not only do the "old timers" look
good—several new-comers to the
varsity squad have shown that
they can "take it" and have been
hitting the pace with the best of
them daily. Tommy Turner, who
won the cake race and a fresh­man
numeral last year, heads the
list of new varsity men. He is a
fine miler and seems to have the
endurance and kick needed for
the longer runs. Reid Roueche,
miler and half-miler on last year's
varsity track team, developed in­to
a first-class distance man and
will be a strengthtenihg addition
to the cross country aggregation.
