Students In Science And Lit
Launch Loan Fund Wednesday
Raise $500, Name Fund for
Dean Scott, Who Gets Key
From Delta Sigma Pi
Meeting in general convocation
lor the first time in its history,
the School of Science and Litera­ture
by unanimous vote Wednes­day
adopted the proposed student
loan fund for needy science and
lit students.
Almost without exception the
assembled students signed over
their contingent deposits to the
fund, raising over $500 as initial
papital for the organization.
The fund, named the John Win-field
Scott Student Loan Fund
by science and lit students in ap­preciation
of 'the efforts of their
dean for his school and his stu­dents,
is to be incorporated under
Alabama law. Students are en­thusiastic
in their belief that the
fund will prosper.
Before the convocation began a
discussion of the fund, Rufus
Porter, recently elected president
of Delta Sigma Pi business fra­ternity,
secured the floor and in
the name of his organization
thanked Dean Scott for his untir­ing
efforts in behalf of his school
and especially the business depart­ment
and presented him with the
Delta Sigma Pi achievement key.
This is the first time that the
local chapter has ever made this
award, which goes to either stu­dents
or faculty members who
haye been outstanding in their
contribution to the success of col­lege
business students and their
training.
Dean Se§tt simply and briefly
thanked the students for naming
the fund after him and for the
achievement key, saying that he
considered them the highest hon­ors
he had received during his life
in Auburn.
Science and lit students who
have not contributed to the fund
and who are interested in doing
so, may contribute by signing over
their -contingent deposit. Blanks
may be secured from a number
of seniors and juniors, from the
economics library, or from Dean
Scott's office.
Before the morning was over
Wednesday, a person other than a
student had already asked that he
be allowed to contribute to the
fund.
11 Interested students are confi­dent
that tijey can'secure' outside
junds since the students themsel­ves
are" so interested in the pro­ject.
'
' XJ. E. Foster, senior in business
administ atlop from Birmingham,
presided over the convocation and
fteaded the students wfco arranged
t£e campaign.

Earle Says More
Industries Is
Need of Region
Lauds Schools of Type
Of API; Forum Expresses
Sympathy for Dr. Duncan
Speaking to the Faculty Forum
Wednesday on the subject, "The
Spirit of the Land Grant College,"
Dr. S. B. Earle, dean, Clemson
College engineering school, said
that "the Auburn type of school
has the opportunity to perform a
valuable service for the South by
training engineers to step into po­sitions
which are being created by
the coming ,of industry to this sec­tion."
Declaring that the South must
have more industry if it is to pros­per,
Dean Earle said the area
needs more factories to use the
products of the farms.
He urged a greater diversifica­tion
of- industry as a means of
using all the agricultural products
of the region. "Art present there
are too few factories other than
cotton miUs," he stated. "If we are
to balance agriculture with in­dustry
we must erect other types
of mills."
Dean Earle reveiwed the his­tory
of Land Grant Colleges from
the passage of the Morrill Act in
1862 to the present. That the col­leges
have succeeded in their ef­forts
to give a high type of tech­nical
engineering and agricultu­ral
training was asserted by the
speaker when he called attention
to the nurnber of graduates of
land-grant colleges who hold high
positions in the world of industry
today.
Teaching English to engineering
students, both written and spok­en,
was stressed by Dean Earle as
being of first rate importance.
Dr. B. R. Showalter, forum
chairman, called the attention of
the group to the death of George
Duncan, brother of President L.
N. Duncan, ije' called: upon, Dr.
Leo dosser to read a resolution
expressing syuipatfyv to members
of the Duncan family.
The resolution follows: "Where­as,
we have learned of the death
of George Webster Duncan, a
graduate of the Alabama Poly­technic
Institute, a former resi­dent
and educator of this coni-munity,
and the b/qtfeey" ei our
President," Dr. L. N. Duncan, the
Faculty' Forum upon this occas­ion
wishes to extend its deep
sympathy to Dr. Duncan and Ws
family.",'

ROTC Unit Given
Excellent Rank
For 20th Time
Corps Area Commander
Notifies Duncan of
War Department Rating
To mark the twentieth consecu­tive
year, Auburn's ROTC unit
has again received the War De­partment's
maximum rating of
"excellent."
Notification was received Wed­nesday
by Pres. L. N. Duncan from
Major General S. D. Embick,
commanding officer of the Fourth
Corps Area. The rating was ac­corded
after a study at headquart­ers
of reports of the recent annual
inspection here of the Auburn
unit,
"That there should be such un­iform
and continuous excellence
evidenced in the ROTC in this
corps area is gratifying indeed to
all at this headquarters," wrote
General Embick. "All here are
aware of the cooperation and in­terest
displayed by yourself and
your faculty, of the zeal and in­dustry
of the professor of mili­tary
Science and tactics (Col.
Fred C- Wallace) and his officers
and enlisted assistants, and of the
high morals and sustained endea­vor
of the student membership
of the corps,"
Military training has been a
vital part of instruction at Au­burn
since the founding of the
institution in 1872. The record of
20 consecutive years of maximum
rating for the ROTC unit by the
War Department is regarded as
unique among Southern institu­tions.

The football team, handicapped
by the proximity of the Windmill,
lost one, tied one, and won one,

OK of Seven More F r a ts
Needed, Says Henley;
Only Four Disapprove
With nine of the fraternities
having already signified approval
of the second plan submitted by
Chairman Tom Henley of the Socr
ial Committee, Henley states that
he has high hopes that this pian
will be accepted by enough fra­ternities
to make it workable.
A vote of 16 fraternities will
be enough to Insure the committee
of sufficient financial backing to
contract for a top ranking band
for the opening dances, as well as
the other major dance sets, says
Henley. Next year's dances are to
be different from any in the past
in more ways that one. Several
•new features are to'be instituted,
and several prominent out-of-town
and out-of-state visitors are
to be invited as guests of honor.
The present vote is nine to
four in favor of the plan. The oth­er
fraternities are yet to be heard
from, but present indications
seem to insure the acceptance of
the plan.
Chairman Henley states that
if paternities not voting lor the-plan
this year will not have the
opportunity next year, and that
these frats will not be allowed to
take advantage of the special
rates. Fraternities who vote this
year to support the plan will be
honored with leadouts at next
year's dances, and the dates of
the presidents will be presented
with flowers. These fraternities
will be honored 'With other forms
of recognition.
Some of the fraternities who
voted against the plan are plan­ning
to have a revote. This will be
the final plan submitted this year
and Henley is anxious for it to
meet with the approval of the
fraternities so that he will be
able to make arrangements for
securing the finest music avail­able
for the dances next year.
Henley points out that other,
schools in the South who have
been having much better fortune
than Auburn in getting bands for
dances, operate under a plan sim­ilar
to this one, and that such a
plan would insure the social
committee of financial backing so
that it could go ahead with plans ,
to bring the type of band here
that would be the beginning of
bigger and better dances for Au­burn.
Fraternities voting for the plan
were Phi Delta Theta, Pi Kappa.
Phi, SAE, Sigma Nu, SPE, Lamb­da
Chi, Theta Chi, Sigma Chi,
and TEP. ATO, KA, Sigma Pi,
and Phi Kappa Tau voted against
the proposed plan.
Cayce Heads ASME
For Next Year
Frank Cayce, junior in mechan­ical
engineering, was elected pres­ident
of the student branch of the
American Society of Mechanical
Engineers for the coming 1939-40
term at a meeting of that organi­zation
Monday evening. He suc­ceeds
Gore Kemp, retiring presi­dent.
Other oficers elected were: John
Sandibrook for the position of vice
president succeeding James Swan-ner;
Rudd Loder succeeding L. O.
Westbrook for the secretary-treasurer's
position; and Arthur
Steele, succeeding Francis Bagby
as the reporter of the society.
Plans for a bjgger and better
year for the coming term were
discussed. The meeting was ad­journed
after all business had (been
cleared.
The technical papers contest
given by the society two meetings
ago was a huge success. Three pa­pers
were presented which were
as follows: ."An Adaptation of the
Cathode-ray Oscillograph in Test­ing
Engines" by Gore Kemp;
"Mental Telepathy" by Barnett
Banks; and the "Design of Auto­matic
Heating for Tobacco Cur­ing"
by Tom Memory.
The first prize of five dollars
was awarded to Kemp, and the

Scott Loan Fund
Students in the School of Science and Lit­erature
paid their dean high tribute Wed­nesday
when, after unanimously adopting
the proposed student-financed loan fund,
they named it the John Winfield Scott Stu­dent
Loan Fund.
Earlier in the convocation, a representa­tive
of Delta Sigma Pi, business fraternity,
had presented Dean Scott for his efforts in
behalf of the department, with the achieve­ment
key of the fraternity, awarded for
the first time in the history of the local
chapter in recognition of the dean's ef­forts
in building the business department to
its present position.
Both these honors, coming in one morning,
were tributes indeed.
The loan fund was enthusiastically endor­sed
by all students assembled at the convo­cation.
Evidence of their support was the
sum of over five hundred dollars which they
presented to the fund through signing over
their contingent deposits.
The loan fund, to be managed jointly by
students and faculty members, is destined
to grow and flourish and do much good for
needy students if it is carefully managed.
Youth Pays Tribute
Selmians familiar with the record of ach­ievement
written by Maurice Bloch as pres­ident
of Alabama Polytechnic Institute alum­ni
for five consecutive years will find cause
for gratification in recognition of his services
by undergraduates through dedication to him
of the school's 1939 yearbook.
No doubt Mr. Bloch regards this honor as
one of the finest which has come to him, for
dedication of the yearbook was a spontan­eous
gesture by students who have in charge
publication details and can be regarded only
as a genuine manifestation of admiration and
respect for the Selma man who has done so
much for his college and his home city.
The words of dedication are as follows:
"The spirit of Auburn, that gentle, invis­ible
something which permanently influen­ces
the lives of Auburn men is nowhere bet­ter
exemplified than in Maurice Bloch, for
the fifth consecutive year president of the
Auburn Alumni Association. He assumed the
direction of alumni activities in 1933 when,
due to "the economic depression, practically
all organized activity was at a standstill. At
great personal sacrifice of both time and
substance he began the reconstruction of
the Alumni Association. No man ever work­ed
more unselfishly, and the fruits of his
labors are to be found in an aroused, inform­ed,
and active alumni group with a perma­nent
secretariat, and a general feeling of
brotherhood and good will as its keynote. In
recognition of his services to his Alma Mat­er,
this 42nd Glomerata is gratefully dedi­cated."
—The Selma-Times Journal
Excellent 20 Times
Excellent rating for the twentieth conse­cutive
time for the Auburn ROTC unit is
a record of which we should be proud. It
bespeaks an alert and progressive military
faculty and a cadet corps sincerely interest­ed
in and attentive to a program of national
defense.
The War Department has this year com­mended
the cooperation displayed by the
faculty, the zeal and industry of Col. Wal­lace
and his officers and enlisted men, and
the "high morals and sustained endeavor of
the student membership of the corps."
Auburn's military history is a proud one
and her military record is a clean one.
A Girl And College .
Following is a letter which a senior co-ed
in Georgetown University wrote on the val­ue
of her college years.
I was merely seeking knowledge
When first I came to college
In an elementary, academic way
Also, I had firmly planted in my mind by
my parents the idea that four years of study
were to fit me to earn my own living and
"face the cold, cruel worldi" well-prepared.
As graduation draws near, I realize that I
shall soon discover whether an A. B. in Ro­mance
Languages is a marketable product.
I think it will be.
But, as I look back over my college days
now coming to a close, I find that college has
given me far more than merely a "bread-and-butter"
education. College has taught me—
laugh if you like—how to think for myself.
Maybe I would have learned the process out
of college; tout, at any rate, under the stimu­lation
of class discussions and the guidance
of some very fine professors, I discovered that
I need not necessarily accept as gospel every-ithing
I read in books or learned from teacher.
Gradually I began to formulate a few ideas,
not entirely original as far as ideas go, but at
least new to me—ideas concerning life in gen­eral,
the relation of the individual to society,
moral and ethical standards and others.
I ithink I can date whatever self-confidence
I possess from one day In Freshman English
class when I fpund myself differing very def­initely
on a certain point with the teacher and
the book. To me, my own idea seemed by
far the better!
College taught me tolerance.
What a surprised and startled freshmen J
was to find reflected in college many different
beliefs concerning religion and morals—some
quite the opposite of those I had been brought
•up to believe and had always accepted.
This state of affairs was a little disconcert­ing
at first, but from it I learned to respect
the rights and opinions of others in such mat­ters.
Extra-curricular activities are definitely a
part of college life. Participation in the ac­tivities
of various clubs and other organiza­tions
develops a sense of responsibility, of­fers
an opportunity to develop leadership,
teaches you how to get along with people—
to submerge personal prejudices and desires
for the good of your organization.
For my* own part, I could never repay such
groups as my sorority, Mortar Board, the rifle
team, or the Newman Club for the lessons
they have taught me—for the gifts of self-assurance
and friendship they have given me,
and for the real fun I have had in participat­ing
in their activities.
In sincerely believe that whatever time and
energy I have put into such activities has
been returned to me two-fold in the pleasure
I've had and the experiences I've gained.
And not the least are the acquaintances
made and friendships formed at college. Often
I think that the variety and the interesting
types of people found on a campus such as
ours is as much of an education in its way
as courses are in their way.
Mother says the main things I've got out
of college are malnutrition and lack of sleep
—but college has been a wonderful part of
my life.
It is with real regret that I see June 14 ap­proach.
Ideal Freshman
1. He must have the perseverance of Ein­stein
working a twentieth degree equation.
2. Emily Post must be able to use him as
a shining example of perfect manners.
3. His finesse in handling people must be
comparable to the standards set by Dale
Carnegie (this is not an advertisement).
4. His good nature must be surpassed only
by Bob Burns—no, not the poet.
5. Charles Atlas shall be his only peer in
physical development.
6. A most important factor in his makeup,
friendliness, should be equal to that of a
hungry dog.
7. People should be able to look at him
and say, "Who is this guy, anyway?"
8. He shall have a military knowledge at
least equal to that of General Pershing.
9. As a dancer, Arthur Murray shall be his
disciple.
10. And last, but not least, a Don Juan
technique must be employed with the va­rious
members of the fair sex.

He thinks he's tough! He runs
around like mad shouting for
copy, but the minute he spies the
object of his search, he throws
two very critical eyes into action
resulting in the merciless slash­ing
of the document until even the
writer fails to recognize the fruits
of his labor.
"Aw, it's not so good," is the
statement that slaps the proud
author squarely between the ears.
The red-headed dictator is al­most
through, a victim of Father
Time's relentless, uncompromis­ing,
impartial rule. The average
student is familiar with him
through editorial comment and as
the writer of some articles, such
as "Engineering, A Crip Course?"
and many others with "By Ed­win
Godbold" tacked under the
head. Those of us who have work­ed
with this individual know and
respect him as one who not only
prints the news, but as one who
always lingers publically in the
shadows behind some of the more
important student projects.
If things don't happen, heck, he
just goes out and makes the old
pot start boiling.
But he ain't so tough!

After having buried himself for
nine months amid sixty-seven is­sues
of the best Auburn Plains­man
in a college generation, this
would-be lone wolf has started
running around the campus with
a grin on his face.
He even broke down last Tues­day
and publically admitted that
he had at least one good writer
on his staff. He's slipping. How­ever,
is his usual ironical way,
he stated that because this copy
producing ace had been elected
Editor of the Plainsman for the
corning year that he would be a
loss to the paper as far as writing
is concerned.
Now keep this quiet. This news­paper
editor wrote galley after
galley of type concerning the re­vision
of the constitution govern­ing
the student body. He gave all
the credit for such' work to a
joint student-faculty committee,
not mentioning the fact that he,
Ed Godbold, an outsider, gave the
project as much or more kick
than any two individuals on the
committee. He happens to be the
world's smoothest liar.
* * *
Aside from the fact that he
thinks he has a block of ice for
a heart, drinks printer's ink in­stead
of coffee, could eat ten-penny
nails for breakfast, and
scares all his reporters to death
by verbially cutting their respec­tive
throats, he ain't so tough!
* * *
He had rather take a beating
than go.to a dance. He thinks
women will ultimately be the
downfall of mankind. He is never
too busy to indulge in a good bull
session with a bunch of the fel­lows
regardless of the hour.
To his face we say that he is
the meanest man in the world,
that he is a slave-driver, that he
should apply for admission to some
institution harboring an assorted
group of nuts. But we know why
he glories in belittling his own
work, admits little, takes credit
for still less. Just from doing
something, from seeing his ideas
take tangible form, and from the
ability to enjoy life and its gifts
comes his reward'. . . not from the
outward praise which is easily
flung from flattering tongues, but
from winning that respect and
admiration which others had
rather hold within their beings
than cheapen by saying things
that might bear the taint of flat­tery.

Dear Sir:
Being a soldier might mean very
little to some people, but to others
it does. The tramping of feet and
the music of a military band
might be mere drill field routine
to some, but it makes others want
to march at the prescribed 128
steps per minute, with shoulders
back and head and eyes straight
to the front.
However, even to the best sold­ier
there sometimes comes an urge
to desert. Such was the case dur­ing
the recent parade for the ap­propriations
committee of the leg­islature.
Storms clouds made the late af­ternoon
even darker as the cadet
corps came on the field. There
was thunder and an occasional
flash of lightning. There was a
distinct stir of uneasiness as the
men stood' at parade rest and
when they were presenting arms.
Then the Cadet Colonel shout­ed,
"Pass in review!"
As each battery impatiently
awaited its turn, one man said, "I
hate to lose anybody any money,
but if it rains I'm leaving."
Suddenly the water came down
in sheets. As the wind was already
blowing directly into the faces of
the men, the rain became almost
blinding.
Remembering what the men had
vowed, an officer said, "Look on
the road behind the reviewing
stand, fellows."
The men looked. There in the
road, alone now since the specta­tors
had sought shelter and with­out
a raincoat, stood Colonel Wal­lace.
That same torrent beat on
him, too, but he stood at atten­tion,
unnaturally rigid in the high
wind, and saluted each time the
colors passed.
You know what happened. Ev­ery
man marched in those drench­ing
blasts until his uniform was
Before Tomorrow
By John Godbold
Wednesday morning the students
of the School of Science and Lit­erature
gave unanimous approval
and support to the loan fund for
that school to be known as the
John Winfield Scott Student Loan
Fund.
Everyone who was present seem­ed
to give enthusiastic support to
the plan for the fund, and we
saw no one who did not sign one
of the slips turning over his con­tingent
deposit to the fund.
The potentialities of the fund
were not over-emphasized by those
who spoke in favor of it. By Wed­nesday
afternoon one person riot
a student had announced his in­tention
of contributing.
Of course, the fund must be
built from a small beginning, but
it should mean much to Auburn in
the future if it is properly ad­ministered.
Operating under the
set-up which, was outlined at the
meeting, we are confident that it
will ibe.

That there are two sides to the
question of the sale of TVA pow­er,
which was mentioned in Tues­day's
issue, was evidenced by an
announcement of a finance and
taxation sub-committee of the leg­islature
that the state has lost
$93,679 in taxes as a result of the
tax exemption of federal property,
which is enjoyed by TVA.
A further loss of about one and
a half million dollars is predicted
if TVA buys the facilities of pri­vate
power companies in a num­ber
of counties of north Alabama.
There can be no doubt that the
private companies are paying to
the state large sums as taxes,
money which goes into schools
and a number of other worth­while
ventures. On the other hand
TVA is selling power more cheap­ly
and paying less in the form of
taxes.
Just which of the two systems
Is superior, which will be the most
beneficial to the state of Ala­bama
and the nation, is something
that only time and a thorough
trial can tell.

The government is threatening
to end the strike in the coal in­dustry
if some agreement is not
reached in the near future. If it
does, we believe that it will be
entirely within its rights.
So long as a strike is going on
for the benefit of the workers it
is justified. If miners were seek­ing
better wages or shorter hours
or improved working conditions,
they might be right in striking.
But when half a million miners

labor, there is little justi­fication.
Transportation is being tied up,
private homes and even public
institutions cannot secure-an ade­quate
coal supply. Every day the
situation is getting worse. The rea­son
behind the whole strike is
that the CIO wishes to maintain a
"closed shop," that is, keep AFL
miners out of the mines.
True, labor has certain rights
and interests which must be
maintained and often can be main­tained
only by strike. But there is
such a thing as public interest,
too, and the public can hardly go
on strike. The only recourse is for
the government to do its striking.
Apparently that is what may hap­pen.

even having a better line
than they had ever had before.
Mushy sentiment, you'll probab­ly
say. Possibly so, too—for you.
To men in uniform a sounding
bugle and a waving flag might
come to be mere emblems, but add
to them an inspiring leader and
even the elements can't win.
Call it emotion if you will, but
it takes quite a bit of it to make
a good soldier.

T"ers to Clash Tomorrow with Petrels
In Their Last Home Game of Year
By Boots Stratford
Those Auburn Tigers will meet the Stormy Petrels of Oglethorpe
tomorrow afternoon at 2 in what will toe the Tigers' last home ap­pearance
and their last game against a collegiate foe for the year.
The Plainsmen are back after a
road trip in which they split a
trio of two game series with
Florida, Georgia, and Georgia
Tech. With a record of 10 wins
to 4 losses in conference warfare,
the Bengals are assured of either
second or third place behind L. S.
U. and perhaps Vanderbilt in
loop standings for the season. This
is a splendid performance for the
year in view of the fact that pre­season
ratings relegated Auburn
to very low spots on the form

SPORTS CHATTER
By Boots Stratford
Those few predictions that we pulled out of the air last
week turned out right well:
The track team tracked on down to a 70 and two-thirds
to 55 and one-third decision over the Gators of Percy Beard,
.thereby adding 5 and a third points to our
^ predicted margin of 10 points. Some of the
, Florida tracksters figured that they would
|lose by a margin of 12 points before the meet.
The ball team split a two-game series with
the Florida nine, leaving us with a batting ave­rage
of .500 on that one. (Must have been day
dreaming when we picked the Tigers for a twin
win over Oglethorpe—we meant Florida all the
time!)
And our Derby pick was good with our favo-
BooTSSVZftrFbRD rlte> a n d eVerybody else's except the long shot
pickers, for that matter, breezing to an easy hand ridden first with
our second place nag, Challedon, pounding eight hard lengths be­hind.
Our third place pony, Steel Heels, was scratched.
And while on the subject we might as well whip up an­other
prediction—we'll take the Tiger cinder artists over
favorite Georgia Tech by a margin of three points. It'll be
one of the more exciting meets in collegiate America Satur­day.
Potpourri
We were just lending an ear to an interview over the radio of
Ralph Guldahl, national professional champion who is at present
touring the country putting on exhibition matches. The big slope-shouldered
fellow picked the four leading professionals golfers
of the nation (excluding himself) as being Jimmy Hines, Sammy
Snead, Dick Metz, and Harry Cooper, named without regard for
order of ranking. The dearth of good amateur talent was made
evident when he picked only one outstanding amateur golfer,
Charley Yates, who is in England at present defending his title
of British amateur champion.
Pathetic figures in the world of sports last week were
Monte Stratton, former pitcher for the Chicago White Sox
and Larrupin' Lou Gehrig of the Yankees. Stratton, last year's
most promising Sox moundsman, who suffered an amputa­tion
of the leg following an accidental injury while hunting
last winter, took the mound before his benefit game between
the White Sox and the Cubs. He tossed a few balls across the
plate with a queer halting motion while Dizzy Dean of the
famous "nothing" ball fame, looked on. Then Stratton walk­ed
slowly back to the dugout, a forlorn and yet brave figure,
for he must know that he will never be able to stand in the
pitcher's' box again and turn the batters back with his smoke
ball and fast breaking curve, for a pitcher's legs are as im­portant
to him as his arm.
The self-imposed benching of Lou Gehrig marks the passing of a
man from active playing life who, to many people, was the personi­fication
of all that baseball means. He had become to the baseball
world what Babe Ruth was in his hey-day and though by no means
as spectacular as the Bambino, he was, and still is, held high in
regard in the hearts of baseball fandom throughout these United
States. Baseball has lost more than a superlative ball player; it has
lost a true sportsman and a gentleman.
We note where the Polish and Rumanian Davis Cup teams have
won their first zone play-offs. Before long they may find them­selves
in the rather futile position of playing for countries that
don't even exist if A. Hitler and his goose-steppers keep up their
little "coercion without cause" game.
We hope Maxie Baer licks the living daylight out of
Lou Nova in their heavyweight bout come June 1 because
Maxie is such a slap-happy screwball and because he is the
embodiment of all the glamour and color that gives audience
appeal to sports.
That was a nice touch, the ovation given Coach Hutsell when he
made a brief appearance during the Florida-Auburn meet. While
he is not well as yet, nevertheless, he Is back at work again and
has been preparing his charges for the Tech meet which takes place

Tigers Tackle
Tech Tomorrow
Yellow Jackets Rated as
Favorites Over Bengals
Meeting their last and toughest
foe of the year in dual competi­tion,
Tiger tracksters encounter
strong Georgia Tech tomorrow on
Drake Field.
The Yellow Jackets are bringing
over a top-notch track and field
squad and rate as favorites over
the Tigers, due not only to their
excellence on the cinders, but
also to the casualties in the Au­burn
camp such as Dave Sprinkle,
who would have been a sure fire
bet in the pole vault if it weren't
for his severely injured ankle, and
Chuck Morgan, who is also ham­pered
by a bad ankle. Herbie
Drake, who has been out of the
running up till now with an in­jured
leg, may get a crack at the
Jackets in the two-mile event.
Bob Dickinson, Auburn ace in
the sprints and the broad jump,
will run into strong competition
from Tom Jones, crack Tech dash
man and Charlie Belcher, who
will run in some two of the 440,
220 and 100 yard dash events.
Jimmie Venable is another Tech-ster
strong in the 220 and 440
distances.
John Grady, Bill Ellis and Jim
Holley will be Auburn's standtoys
in the quarter mile against Bel­cher
and Venable. Jim Holley will
also run the half mile along with
Captain Jim Swanner and Frank
Gunter; Swanner will be Auburn's
main threat in the mile run. John
Sharp Gillespie Roberts III, and
Herbert Drake, meeting with
strong competition, will be the
entrants in the two mile affair.
Chuck Morgan, who broke his
own Drake Field record with a
7.5 over five hurdles at 60 yards
Wednesday, which neared the
world's record of 7.3, and Percy
South, will be the Tiger's chief
hopes in the 120 yard high hurd­les,
the 220 low hurdles and the
high jump.
In Sprinkle's absence, Lank-iford
and Long will be the per­formers
in the pole vault. Chet
Bulger and Jim Stephenson will
carry the Tiger's banner in the
shot put, the discus throw and the
javelin throw. -

The meeting was one of the
most successful held in the past
few years, (with many delegates at­tending
from most all of the
southern chapters. Alabama's Al­pha's
president, Turner Murphy,
was chosen as student leader for
the group of meetings.
The other delegates, Carl Adam-son,
Ted Wright, James Hard-wick,
Bob Foster, and Joe Baliss
all had a very enjoyable and
profitable trip. The next of these
meetings is to be held at the
Louisiana Beta chapter at Tulane
in New Orleans. The Alabama
Alpha chapter was host for the
convention two years ago.

Tiger Theater fo
Show Nazi Picture
By NANCYE THOMPSON
The sweeping drama of the
building of the nation's first
transcontinental railroad and the
linking of two oceans is brought
to the screen in the production,
"Union Pacific," to be shown Sat
urday and Sunday at the Tiger
Theater.
Co-starred in the picture are
Barbara Stanwick and Joel Mc-
Crea, giving outstanding' perfor­mances,
Miss Stanwyck plays
Molly Monahan, a lusty girl of
the frontier: daughter of the
UnioH Pacific's first engineer,
postmistress of the "end of the
track," and little sister to the
men building the railroad..
McCrea plays the handsome and
sturdy trouble-shooter, Jeff But­ler,
whom the government sends
out to quell disturbances.
Jeff and Mollie meet in the gaudy,
lawless settlement. There are in­trigues,
train robberies and fight­ing
throughout. Akim Tamiroff is
excellent as a brawling, hard-as-nails
guard. Lynne Overman
again wisecracks his way across
the screen. Robert Preston plays
McCrea's rival.
If it does no more this picture
will make America spy-conscious
and bring realization that the iheh^
ace is still here. Jt goes beyond
the mere expose of a small' sj^y.
ring. It shows the open and ftyr
grant campaign that Hitler sup­porters
are waging in this coun­try
against democratic institu-r
tions.
