Tigers, Yellow Jackets Mix Tomorrow
'WRECK TECH'IS
BATTLECRYAS
TIGERS LEAVE
WRECK TECH! That was the
battle cry of the Tigers as they
entrained for Atlanta this morn­ing
to renew one of the oldest
grid classics in the South with
Georgia Tech on Grant Field Sat­urday
afternoon at 2 o'clock.
Auburn versus Georgia Tech has
been appearing on the programs
since way back in 1892, and to­morrow's
engagement will be the
41st game between the two
schools. The Plainsmen hold an
edge in past games, having won
24, losing 14 and tieing 3.
A large portion of the Auburn
student body will be on hand to
witness the battle between the an­cient
rivals. At 11 o'clock Sat­urday
morning the Auburn stu­dents
and supporters will fall in
behind our famous band and stage
a parade through the streets of
Atlanta. The parade will start
from the Terminal Station.
Western Railway of Alabama
will run an "Auburn Special"
train to Atlanta for the Georgia
Tech-Auburn football game. The
train will leave Auburn at 8 o'­clock
Saturday morning, arriv­ing
in Atlanta at 11. For the re­turn
trip the special will leave
Atlanta at 7:30 p. m. Round
trip fare is $2.90.
By handing Mississippi State a
20-6 licking Friday night, the Ben­gals
remained in the top bracket
in the Southeastern Conference.
They flashed considerable dash
and fire in trimming the well-coached
and well-organized Ma­roon
outfit and their win was the
tonic needed to put them in fine
spirit to work for Tech.
Coach Jack Meagher was well
pleased with the eleven that op­ened
against State, and this means
that Burford and Whatley at end,
Capt. Russell and Nichols at tac­kle,
Burns and Mills at guard,
Walker at quarter, Kelly and O'-
Gwynne in the halfback slots, and
Sitz at fullback will probably be
on the field when the starting
whistle blows.
Using the words of Coach Mea­gher:
"We will meet another high-spirited
club in Tech and we will
have to play much better than we
have played in any game this
year if we give them a hard bat­tle."
Kicking was stressed in the Ti­gers'
practice this week and Coach
Meagher also worked overtime try­ing
to give stronger fortification
to an overhead attack that alrea­dy
is very potent. Dick McGowen
is the Bengals' ace punter, but
there are also some others, Kelly,
Happer, Dean, Perry and Cantrell,
who can shine sending spirals
down the field. Hawk Cavette, a
prodigious punter, and Billy Gib­son
are Tech's ace booters. Last
year McGowen and Cavette wag­ed
a sterling punting duel in the
freshman classic and this will be
continued in tomorrow's conflict.
Speck Kelly came through in
fine style against State and he can
be the back of destiny in Auburn's
backfield from here out. Kelly,
who is greyhound-fast, not only
showed to advantage as a passer
but he looked better than at any
other time as a broken field run-

'Wreck Tech' Rally
Held Last Night
By Bob Anderson
Several hundred Auburn stu­dents
and townspeople gathered in
front of Langdon Hall last night
for one of the most colorful pep
rallies of the year, a fitting pre­lude
for the Auburn-Georgia Tech
football game.
Torches and freshmen with
shirt-tails flapping characterized
the spirit of the mass meeting.
On the steps of Langdon Hall
the Auburn band and Charlie O'­Reilly's
pepper-upper worked the
crowd into a frenzy which show­ed,
as expressed by O'Reilly, that
"that old Auburn spirit is still
with us."
A number of old-timers were at
the rally; among them Jack Ad­ams,
head cheerleader of last
year's squad, and "Flash" Flow­ers,
another ex-cheerleader who
raised the excitement to a high
pitch by his enthusiastic story of
how Auburn's battle cry, "War
Eagle," originated.
The students formed behind the
band after leaving Langdon Hall
and snaked-danced up and down
College Street for several minutes,
finally ending up under the traf­fic
light.
The Atlanta pre-game parade
will begin at 11 o'clock tomor­row
morning at the Terminal Sta­tion.
O'Reilly requested that all
students in Atlanta for the game
take part in the parade.
'Both Your Houses'
Given Wednesday
By J. H. Wheeler
The Jitney Players, traveling
theatrical organization, presented
Maxwell Anderson's three-act sa­tire
on government, "Both Your
Houses," in afternoon and night
performances Wednesday to en­thusiastic
audiences in Langdon
Hall.
Biggest success of the play was
Douglas Rowland, playing Solo­mon
Fitzmaurice, old-timer in
Congress and big-time political
grafter. His performance was ex
plained simply by Ethel Barry-more
Colt in talking with a group
of Auburn Players after the show.
"He's our star," she said.
Vincent Carroll, electrician and
technical director for the Jitney
Players, filled the role of Dell,
excitable congressman from Cali­fornia.
His performance was a
triumph for the arts of acting and
make-up, for those who saw and
talked with him before the play
were astonished at the complete
transformation he underwent in
his stage character. Carroll, from
Wilkes-Barre, Pa., went to school
at Massachusetts Institute of Tech­nology.
The other members of the cast
included Ethel Barrymore Colt as
Marjorie Gray; Bettina Cerf as
Bus; Charles Howard as Eddie
Wister; Herbert Everin as'Mark;
Tom Gorman as Simeon Gray,
Harry Gresham as Levering; Reed

'A' Club To Enforce
Ruling On Rat Caps
John Davis, president of the
"A" Club, announced last night
that established campus rules
regarding the wearing of rat
caps are to be more strictly en­forced
hereafter.
He said, "Freshmen should
not have to be made to wear the
caps that distinguish their class.
If they do not wear the caps on
their own accord, we shall work
with upperclassmen in forcing
them to do this."
The "A" Club has always tak­en
the lead in getting freshmen
to wear their caps, and the ulti­matums
of this organization
have been pretty generally en­forced.
"The "A" Club does not wish to
get the reputation of being a vig­ilante
group, but we do plan
to go the limit in making fresh­men
wear those caps," said Da­vis.
He called attention to the
fact that rat caps are a signifi­cant
part of campus life, that
they add to the color of the cam­pus,
strengthen the class bonds
among the freshmen, and serve
to instill school spirit.
"Our warning is out," said
Davis, "and we ask the coopera­tion
of all upperclassmen."
Cavaliers To Play
For'A'Club Dance
The Auburn Cavaliers, API's
outstanding contribution to the
orchestra world, will return to Au­burn
on Thursday, Nov. 10, to play
for a dance sponsored by the "A"
Club.
This will be the first appearance
of the Cavaliers in Auburn since
their departure at the close of the
1937-38 school year.
The Cavaliers will also play for
a dance in Birmingham on the
night of Nov. 12, following the
football game with LSU. The
scene of this dance will be an­nounced
at a later date.
In Auburn the Cavaliers will be
featured at a tea dance to be held
in fee WPA Hall from 4:30 un­til
8 with a 45 minute intermission
for supper.
Both the tea dance in Auburn
and the dance in Birmingham will
be broadcast over WAPI and WS-FA.
Along with many other engage­ments
they have played for the
Opening Dances at Clemson, Pres­byterian
College, VPI, Randolph-
Macon College, Hampden-Sydney
College, and fee College of Wil­liam
and Mary.
The orchestra is under the man­agement
of fee Pumphries Agency
of Richmond, Va. This agency was
the one which started Kay Kyser
off on his road to success. Accord­ing
to Mr. Pumphries himself, the
Cavaliers are more advanced at
this time than Kay Kyser's or­chestra
was during toe same stage
of development. This is welcome
news to fee many Auburn stu­dents
who are familiar with the
quality of Kyser's music.
Admission to the tea dance will
be $1.00.
Johnnie Davis, president of the
"A" Club has urged feat all stu­dents
who will attend fee LSU
game make dates for the dance in
Birmingham and plan to be pres­ent.
Damage To Special Trains
(AN EDITORIAL)
Dr. L. N. Duncan, President
Alabama Polytechnic Institute
Auburn, Alabama
My dear Dr. Duncan:
Referring to movement of student body from Auburn to Mont­gomery
and return Oct. 14.
I wish to assure you that this movement was equally as sue.
cessful as last year, and the credit for the success should go to
the thorough manner in which the most minute details were work­ed
out by your Executive Secretary, Professor Draughon, Profes­sor
Martin, and Coach Hutsell.
Of course there are in every large crowd several who through
their action might tend to cast reflection on the organization, and
while there was a little more damage to our equipment this year
than last year there was also a much larger number of students
and particularly a greater number of freshmen, which is to be
considered. Taking the movement as a whole, we are well pleased
with the behavior and gentlemanly attitude of the vast majority
of your students.
Assuring you that it is a pleasure to have been associated
with you in handling this movement and sincerely wishing for you
and your student body continued success, I am,
Yours very truly,
W. W. Snow,
Asst. General Passenger Agent
Atlanta and West Point Railroad Co.
Below is an itemized bill, which Auburn students will pay
out of their contingent deposits, for materials missing and dam­aged
in the cars used in carrying students to and from Montgom­ery:

Although Mr. Snow states that the movement was as success­ful
as the one last year, we feel that he is merely being polite.
Frankly, we do not know what to say when we are faced with the
fact that seemingly intelligent college students, after being urged
by their own leaders, by college officials, by alumni, and by railroad
officials to conduct themselves as becoming true Auburn men,
cannot ride from Auburn to Montgomery and back without losing
their heads and deliberately and maliciously damaging, destroying,
and stealing a lot of property that they know full well they must
pay out of their own pockets.
It beats us. The entire student body and the school receives
the blame for what happened. But we do not feel in the least that
the students who broke loose and played merry hell in any way
truly represent Auburn. A small group of rowdies in four hours
Friday severely damaged the good name of Auburn. And the dam­nable
thing about it all is that they will go scot-free, never car.
ing that they have hurt Auburn, while the students who love the
institution and her traditions will suffer.
We wish that in some way we could have a hand in eradicat­ing
that small group of undesirables that cut loose last Friday.
We know that if the administration knew who they were that they
would ship them home post-haste.
And Auburn would be a cleaner and better school were that
done. Auburn has no place for reckless persons who put their own
personal whims and peculiar conceptions of enjoyment above the
welfare and good name of the institution. The sooner the students
guilty of misconduct on the spceial trains get out or get in line
with the true Auburn Spirit the better it will be for them and for
Auburn.
Race To Be Run
On Saturday
Instead Of
Wednesday
The annual freshman cake
race will take place on Satur­day,
Dec. 10, according to an
announcement made this
morning by L. E. Foster, Pres­ident
of Omicron Delta Kap­pa,
national honorary frater­nity.
This year's race will be run on
Saturday afternoon instead of
Wednesday so feat freshmen may
ask their parents and girls down
to fee affair. Heretofore, fee fact
that the race occured in fee mid­dle
of fee week prevented many
outsiders from observing it. A rec­ord
crowd of spectators is expect­ed
for this race.
The same course will be run
this year as last year. All fresh^
men are required to run fee stren­uous
2.7 mile course. Members of
different organizations will be
posted along fee route to see that
no contestants stray frqm fee set
course.
As in fee past, toe starting or­ganization
of the race will be in
charge of toe military department.
The freshmen will assemble in
their regular R. O. T. C. company
and battery formations on toe rat
football field, and toe roll will
be checked by cadet officers. At
toe beginning signal toe runners
will proceed' across toe field to
Thach Avenue and down Thach
to College Street. From the cor­ner
of Thach and College they
will proceed north to Glenn, down
East Glenn for three blocks, turn
south and go west down Magnolia
to toe corner of Magnolia and
Gay, where they will turn south,
run to the comer of Gay and Mil­ler,
run west for one block, turn
north 'on "College and prbceed for
half a block, turn west again and
continue to Drake Field and fee
finishing line.
Last year Herbert Drake, run­ning
for Sigma Chi fraternity, es-tablsihed
a new cake race record
of 14:55.6 for fee 2.7 mile course.
The old record of 14:58 was set
by Wesley Finlay in 1932.
The winning freshman this year
will be awarded his track nume­ral
and a large cake. Smaller
cakes will be presented to the next
24 men crossing fee finishing line.
A loving cup will be awarded to
fee fraternity placing fee first
four men.
Sarver To Return
To Auburn
President W. W. Hill of the
First National Bank announces
this week that George McMillan,
assistant cashier for fee past two
years, has resigned to accept a
position wife American National
Bank, Union Springs. At fee same
time it was stated feat Joe Sar­ver,
Auburn graduate now living
in Danville, Va., will succeed Mc­Millan.
McMillan will begin his new
duties as cashier of fee Union
Springs bank on Nov. 1. Sarver
will be here within 10 days to ac­cept
fee assistant cashiership of
the First National Bank, said Mr.
Hill.
After graduating from college
here in 1937, Sarver accepted a
position wife a national wholesale-retail
concern in Danville, Va.,
which job he now holds. While a
student here, he made an out­standing
record. During his sen­ior
year Sarver served as presi­dent
of the student body.
Coming to Auburn wife her
husband will be Mrs. Sarver, nee
Molly Brasfield of Demopolis. Sar­ver
is a native of Athens. WRECK GEORGIA TECH!

Filling Stations
Somehow, we have always liked for folks
visiting Auburn to comment on the corn
patch growing in the middle of town and
the fenced-off grove of trees down by the
diner, so suggestive and reminiscent of the
Southern small-town square. Along with
many other things, that corn field and grove
of trees sitting right plumb in the middle of
progressive and business-like Auburn meant
to us that Auburn was still Auburn, where
everyone speaks to everyone else.
But the trees are going—to make room
for a filling station.
The University of Alabama last year faced
much the same thing. University Avenue
was becoming a mere chain of filling sta­tions.
And like last year's Editor of the Crim­son
and White, we view the rise of more
filling stations with sorrow.
Auburn, saved from the demon rum by thp
staunch efforts of evangelical Don Quixotes
and interested fathers, need no longer greatly
fear the ravaging effects of alcohol. But an­other
liquid is making its influence' felt in
Auburn.
That liquid is gasoline. Auburn citizens
are now engaged in the doubtful project of
making two filling stations grow where none
grew before. Beautiful College Street will
soon be a commercialized Gasoline Alley.
The stately oaks, long the pride of Auburn,
are giving way before the sentinels of prog­ress,
the station pumps.
When the Persians landed on the shores
of Greece, it is said that the arrows they fired
into the air made so dense a canopy that the
sun could not pierce through. Even so, filling
station sheds will soon so cover the lawns on
either side of College Street that the sun
cannot pierce through to a single blade of
grass.
Progress cannot be stayed. America mar­ches
on, with the pump handler and the fill­ing
station greaser in the vanguard of the
march. And in all the land, Auburn will yield
second place to none.
Has Flea Hop a filling station for every
hundred inhabitants? Then Auburn shall
two for every four hundred. Can the drab
beauty of a century-old oak compare in
beauty with the brilliant orange of a Gulf
pump? Can the conventional pink of the az-elea
compare in charm with the beckoning
red of the Texaco emblem? Can the trailing
purple of the wisteria even dare to lift its
head in company with such an alluring ar­ticle
as the yellow-orange Shell?
Away with our old beauties of nature!
They are outmoded, done with—hindrances
to progress. Raise high the banner of the
new era! A chicken in every pot, two cars in
every garage, and a filling station on every
lot on College Street.
Curriculums
With the ever increasing complexity and
variations in technique and applications of
engineering and technical work in industry, it
becomes every day more difficult to offer
college courses broad enough in their scope
to cover all of the requirements necessary to
adequately educate a college student in pre­paration
for the work that lies ahead of him.
The critical public, which constantly sits
in judgment of the product of modern edu­cation,
expects from the college graduate the
ability to do certain things which will mark
him as an efficient and well-trained indivi­dual.
To have a specialized technical or pro­fessional
training is highly desirable from a
practical point of view. Yet there are other
things which do not come under the head of
the course the student takes which are just
as highly desirable and necessary to equip
the undergraduate for his job when the roof
of the college no longer is above him. At
such a time, the criticism for his mistakes
lies no longer with the college curriculum,
but with the individual himself.
There are certain basic skills which are
every day demanded of men who by the
signatures on their sheepskins are certified
to be proficient and adapted to meet prob­lems
which arise in their field. There are
fundamental abilities which employers in­variably
seek in the men who apply to them
for positions; namely, the ability to write
clearly and correctly . . .; ability to speak
clearly and correctly with forcefulness and
effectiveness . . .; ability to assimilate ideas
effectively through reading and through lis­tening
. . .; ability to handle one's self effi­ciently
in tasks that require coordination of
hand and eye . . .; quantitative thinking and
the ability to handle the mathematical con­cepts
which underlie everyday thinking . . .;
and most important of all—qualitative think­ing,
ability to make judgments in problem
situations on the basis of comparative values
involved and the basis of previous experience,
meaning application of knowledge acquir­ed
in the classroom.
A college education sorely needs a content
which will function effectively in meeting the
demands which life makes upon those who
pass through college into after-college ex­perience
under the illusion that they are
prepared for successful living and immed­iate
fortune. In general the knowledge con­tent
of the average college course has laid too
much stress on the technical and theoretical
side of the questions which have arisen, and
the result has been that the college graduate
has been overburdened with knowledge
which has not been too thoroughly classi­fied.
No matter what defense the college may
make for the continuance of its classical and
traditional curriculums, industry and the
outside world will continue to judge the col­lege
product more sternly in terms of what
he can do rather than how much he knows.
R.T.
Omar The Modern
Almost twelve years ago Dr. Alphonse
Mingana, curator of Oriental literature in
the John Rylands Library in Manchester,
England, discovered the famous "lost" qua­train
of Omar Khayyman, the Persian poet.
Not many months ago Dr. Mingana died,
and many newspapers published the five
famous lines that the curator had brought to
light. Even if all the other Rubaiyat had per­ished,
this single verse would still make the
old astronomer the most modern of poets.
A rough rendition of the stanza, which
smacks somewhat of the disillusionment of
A. E. Housman, follows:
But tell me, if the Builder builded
well,
Who flawed this sorry world in
which we dwell?
And whose fault to let it stand
awry,
Then toss the good and bad alike to
hell?
Even today that twelfth century stanza
seems to echo the voice of modern youth in
every unhappy country of the earth. And,
as the New York Times says, it will be a
verse "for all ill-treated fellows, unborn and
unbegot, for them to read when they're in
trouble and I am not."
Yellow Baseballs
Next baseball season the official baseball
may be yellow, rather than white. If so, the
change will not be made with a view to
satisfying the fans' desire for color, but be­cause
yellow has a greater visibility, and
balls of that color will lessen the danger of
a batter being struck.
Mickey Cochrane, who was struck on the
head by a ball pitched by Hadley of the
Yankees, said afterwards that for a fraction
of a second he lost sight of the ball. It had
entered a blind spot.
Recent experiments have indicated that
this would not have happened with a yellow
ball. So look out for yellow baseballs next
season.
Well!

NOW THAT THE WEATHER­MAN
is plumb tired out playing
summertime and has turned his
annual icebox on, it is high time
that the moths and mothballs
were shaken from those overcoats,
heavy socks, and mufflers that
your roommate borrowed from
you last year. It won't be long
before getting out of bed will be
a pain at any hour of the day, and
P. Bag's coffee will begin to taste
good, provided it is hot enough.

NOMINATION FOR "Miss Au­burn
of 1939" goes in advance to
"Colonel" Hilleke, whose shapely
stems were the pride and joy at
the ODK musical miscellany.
When Auburn co-eds begin to get
as good-looking as the "Cunnel"
was last Monday night, it will be
time for them to start eating a-gain
and get back to where they
are now.

AUNT HATTIE says that any
time any of you Auburn boys and
girls get into any love troubles
she'll be glad to play Dorothy Dix
and pull you out of the hole. It
seems that, according to Aunt Hat-tie,
Auburn folks can get into the
d dest scrapes of anybody she
has never seen. The solution would
probably be to build a filling sta­tion
in every dark corner in Au­burn,
including the tower to Ram­say,
and to put bells on all the co­eds,
et cetera. For suggestions on
how to get away with murder on
this love situation, please see Edi­tor
Godbold (paid pol. adv.).

ANYTIME Auburn freshman
start the well known gripe about
what a tough time they are hav­ing,
the next best thing is for them
to go to Atlanta and look at he
Tech freshmen. And if you still
don't see the difference, perhaps
it's an optical illusion. Sort of like
the meals served to the rat foot­ball
players, only different. They
are gastric hallucinations.

ALL OF WHICH reminds me
that this column is getting lousier

1942. IN THE FOLLOWING,
CHARLES LAMB has given a
challenge to the Auburn Players:
"The Lear of Shakespeare cannot
be acted. The contemptible mach­inery
by which they mimic the
storm which he goes out in is not
more inadequate to represent the
horrors of the real elements than
any actor can be to represent Lear;
they might more easily propose to
personate the Satan of Milton u-pon
a stage, or one of Michael-angelo's
terrible figure."
However, storm-making mach­inery
has improved since Lamb's
day—so, more power to the Play­ers.
After all, according to Brown­ing:
"— a man's reach should exceed
his grasp,
Or what's a Heaven for?"

Dear Sir:
Let me take this opportunity to
express my appreciation to every­one
who cooperated in making the
Musical Miscellany a huge success
MondSy evening.
Those of us connected with in­tramural
athletics are indebted to
Pres. L, E. Foster and all members
of O. D^ K., to those who perform­ed
on the program, and to the
hundreds of students and others
who purchased tickets.
I have been informed that work
will begin soon on the construc­tion
of the nine tennis courts for
students. Proceeds from the Mis­cellany
and those already avail­able
because of previous efforts
by O. D. K. and the Auburn
Lions Club will be used in the
construction of these courts.
Yours sincerely,
Ernest B. Smith, Director

Dere editer:
we all is well pleased with the
auburn sperit. show that the mis-sippi
stale game m montgumery
this pass week-end. we all think
that we showed more sperit than
miss, state, rite off hand we all
would say that we blowed it out.
can we do the same at the teck
game in atlanta this commin week­end?
i believe that we can. what
do you all think? pussonly, we all
are predicting a win over the teck
teem.
the auburn chair leaders were
quite competent at the miss, state
game, however, we all think that
erhanging pointed iron beam lo­cated
at the west door of Brounjs
Auditorium. We admit we know
next to nothing of engineering
principles, but couldn't it be re­moved
without much expense or
weakening of the foundation of the
hall?
And fire escapes should be built
right away. It takes five minutes
to work one's way from the fourth
floor to the first now, when hun­dreds
are rushing- to far away
classes. If a fire were to break
out, a stampede would kill or in­jure
quite a few, even if the fire
turned out to be a mere blaze.
a skool az large az oum shud have
more than three yells, students,
how a bout it; aren't we willing-to
learn some new yells- new uns?
or could you not revive some of
the old yells? the skool haz had
some in the past.
we all noticed that the chair lea­ders
got up quite frequently, and,
with the able assistance of the p.
a. (persicution of auditory) sys­tem,
asked us to make some noise;
then they proceeded to sit back
down, of corse, yellin like a bar-bary
horde is quite in place at a
football game, but, don't you
think that it should be preceeded
by a yell?
this was writ, not with the in­tention
of makin anyone mad, to
see if some of us can't get started
on some tall thinkin and have
some ideas as to how we can have
some reel sperit. we're doin good
now, but we should never be sat­isfied
with results of today, lets
always strive to make tomorrow
a better day! let's see some of
those suggestion, i feel that the
editer uv the plainzum will be
glad to publish anything that is
a boost to the skool.
if anybody wants to get mad at
me, well, im frum the mountains
of south calina an i still remember
how to run like hell, if i wanta.

Dear Sir:
In Tuesday's issue a petition
was "exposed" to keep us "rats"
from being called "rats."
What's this place coming to?
Who are these nice (surely they

being called "rat." I don't know

Dear Sir:
How are the rules passed by the
Executive Council and college of­ficials
going to be enforced? No
girl is going to report herself, and
she will not select one to do it.
Last year the Council appointed
a girl in each house to do the job.
Were they successful? In truth
they did not make any headway
except to put the rules before the
public.
Rules cannot be rules until they
are carried out and enforced. One
house out of a thousand may select
one member of their group to be
responsible for enforcement of
rules.
Before rules can be enforced
Auburn will have to have dormi
tories to hold all girls. Then there
will be no complaint, as each girl
will feel that she is being treated
as the others are. Some houses
will enforce rules while others
will not if they think they can get
by, and those not enforcing the
Before Tomorrow
By John Godbold
A GRAND JURY in New York
refused Tuesday to induct a 65-
year-old man for the confessed
mercy slaying of his wife. He had
killed her, according to his state­ment,
because he could no longer
see her undergo the agonies of the
incurable disease from which she
was suffering.
This case effectively demon­strates
the need for legalized mer­cy
deaths for suffering persons
who can die only after horrible
suffering. It is a peculiar justice
which will send a man to his
death for killing another, yet will
not allow the relief of death for
a person who wishes to die to
avoid agony.
Some would fight mercy deaths
as they have fought birth control,
sterilization of those unfit to bear
children, and similar social move­ments.
However, fight though they
may, the time is going to come
when mercy deaths will be legal
and considered entirely ethical.
When that day does come, the
world is going to be a much more
pleasant place in which to live.

CORDELL HULL, the white-haired
southern gentleman from
Tennessee, is going down in his­tory.
The public has carried on
during his term in the cabinet.
Silently and unobtrusively this
quiet, retiring man has done his
work. He has negotiated nume­rous
beneficial reciprocal trade
treaties—often in the face of great
difficulties, has continuiously ex­erted
a patient and yet masterful
influence in international relat­ions.
Hull has often been spoken of
as potential presidential timber
for 1940. But he is from the
wrong section of the country to
be an effective candidate.
The name Hull may not have
been in the headlines very much
during the years of his service
as Secretary of State. However,
when the great men of this period
are selected, Cordell Hull will be
one of them.
* * *
Auburn is a live college this
year. We all protest about things
as they are; however, when one
considers carefully he finds that
the student body is much more
active than it was last year.
Students seem to be taking more
interest in almost all activities.
The football team is now getting
good support, dozens of applicants
are seeking places on the Plains­man
and Glomerata staffs where
usually there are shortages. The
senior organizations are working
together toward common goals in­stead
of bickering and name-call­ing.
The "culture series" is re­ceiving
very good support.
Of course, we could throw a
number of monkey wrenches into
the machinery by pointing out
such matters as the deplorable
lack of support of the Opening
Dances and the still-unimproved
Student Center. Yet, taking all in­to
consideration, one can say that
Auburn has finally reawakened.
* * *
MUCH PRAISE is being given
to the courageous pilot who saf­ely
brought down his flaming
plane near Montgomery and saved
the lives of all who were on
board.
Certainly the man deserves all
the commendations he received
and more too. He is only one of
many airmen over the world who
often take their lives in their
hands for the advancement of av­iation
and the betterment of man­kind.
The courage of those men
who love aviation has made it
what it is today.
Not only is aviation but also in
the field of the sciences, the doc­tors,
bacteriologists, chemists, are
daily carrying on a great fight
with one purpose—the betterment
of civilization. Often at the sacri­fice
of their home life, their fam­ilies,
their personal hopes and de­sires,
these men unselfishly give
themselves to the service of an
unappreciative mankind.
In this kind of work interna­tional
boundaries are almost for­gotten.
Men of this kind are big
enough to see the dotted lines
drawn on maps and the little sign
posts marked "frontier." When one
considers the example of the men
who make guinea pigs of them­selves
for all humanity's sake, the
petty jealousies and quarrels of
nations, the innate selfishness of
men are shown up for exactly what
they are.
rules will have no trouble finding
girls who wish to live there. Un­til
the school has the dormitories
rules cannot be properly enforced.
Yours sincerely,

Swimming Tryouts
Are Finished
By John Watters
A successful conclusion, to the
freshmen swimming tryouts has
just been announced by Captain
Art Ousley of the varsity swim­ming
team.
The following freshmen made
the team, according to Capt. Ous­ley:
I. T. Quinn, Bruce Jones, Rus­sell
Stewart, William Perm, John
Pelham, J. S. Butler, Oliver
Board, Felix Turnipseed, Frank
Morris, Doug Parswell, Marvin
Mariani, S. M. Searcy, Tom Blake,
George McBride, and Jack Sim­mons.
Of the men who made the team
probably the most outstanding, ac­cording
to Captain Ousley, is
George Austin. Besides being an
accomplished diver, Austin is also
a splendid dash man, with a 27
second time over the 50-yard dis­tance,
which compares very fav­orably
with last year's varsity
time of 26 seconds for the same
distance.
Freshmen meets are to be held
this year and this should add im­petus
to the squad now working
out daily. Also, at some time dur­ing
the year, a trophy sponsored
by the Alpha Phi Omega honorary
Boy Scout fraternity, will be a-warded
to the most outstanding
freshman swimmer of the year.
This is the training program as
set down by Captain Ousley: The
next six weeks will be devoted to
distance swims, the rest of the sea­son
before the start of the meets
will be concentrated on practice
starts and turns and the time
trials. New men with some swim­ming
experience who wish to try-out
for the team should have an
excellent opportunity under this
program to develop and possibly
make the squad.
The team at present is being
built around these varsity letter-men:
Captain Ousley (medley and
150-yard breast stroke), co-cap­tain
Jack Lyons (220 and 100-
yard dash), Henry Mohns (200-
yard breast stroke), Bill Camp­bell
(150-yard back stroke) and
Marvin Thomas (diving). Some of
the sophomores comprising the
squad are Dick White and Sam
Kelly in the dashes, Adolph Hol-lings
and Bill Miller in the breast
stroke, and Lester Norvell in div­ing.
All these men are being coun­ted
on heavily to take Auburn's
colors successfully through com­petition
with such schools as
Georgia, Georgia Tech, Florida
and Tennessee.
A very important meeting of
both freshmen and varsity mem­bers
of the swimming squad is to
be held next Monday night at 7:-
30 o'clock in Broun Auditorium.
Captain Ousley wishes to urge the
attendance of all men concerned.

Auburn Shows Good
Brand Of Football
Against State
Kelly And Haynsworth Are
S t a r s I n Last Week's
Contest In Montgomery
Auburn's 20-6 victory over Mis­sissippi
State last Friday night is
a good indication of the brand of
ball the Tigers are really capa­ble
of producing.
The Bengals were off to an
early start, driving 45 yards in
seven plays to score in the first
period. After a march down the
field, Charley Haynsworth set the
ball up for the score by running
it down to the State seven-yard
line. Kelly later carried it over
on an end sweep.
Misssisippi State's only score,
and their lone threat, was a long
pass good for 67 yards, from
Bruce to Nix, the latter taking the
ball on the dead run and outdis­tancing
the Auburn backfield.
This same Nix, a sophomore, was
the spearhead of the State attack,
the unbalanced line plays of the
Maroon team giving them both
power and a style of offense that
the Tigers were encountering for
the first time this year.
The most outstanding play was
Spec Kelly's 96-yard return of the
kickoff to open the second half.
Kelly came straight down the
middle of the field, eluded two or
three tacklers, and raced across
the goal line.
To point out any particular Ti­ger
as the star of the game would
be foolish. The line was charging
with the greatest of ferocity. The
backfield was functioning better
than in any game thus far. The
end play of Harrison, Whatley,
and Burford was tops. Haynsworth
and Morgan or Fairchild formed
a bulwark behind the line which
made it a virtual impossiblity for
the Maroon boys to pick up any­thing
through the middle, even
with their unbalanced line. Once
Haynsworth broke through the
State line and threw the ball car­rier
for a loss without having been
slowed up in the least by a Mis­sissippi
man. The Tigers were
right.
Capt. Russell played his usual
dependable game at his left tac­kle
position. Bill Nichols is look­ing
better and better at the other
tackle. Junie Burns and Earnest
Mills handled the guard assign­ments
superbly, but Hatch How­ell
would still look mighty fine in
there. And in Morgan and Fair-child
Auburn can boast of two of
the most consistent centers in the
conference.
The best block of the evening
was turned in by Johnny Davis
as he led Bill Mims around left
end in the last quarter for 14
yards. The little quarterback cut
down two State huskies. With a
little more avoirdupois Davis
would be a sensation in any lea­gue.
Starting Guard
£?JZ*EST MIL.LS
ERNEST MILLS of Columbus,
through hard work and practice,
has been given a starting post
at guard. Although only a soph­omore
he has proven his worth
in all three games to date.
Pittsburg is Rated
Number One Team
Big names tumbled before good
teams in a series of games against
teams with earned ratings. The
week additionally showed up the
fallacy of rating teams highly be­cause
of wins over "big names"
alone.
Coach Jock Sutherland's truly
great Pittsburgh Panthers in a
mighty 26 to 0 swamp of one of
the best Wisconsin teams in years,
forged to the top with a rating of
97.3. Notre Dame dropped about
a point for its low score over the
fighting Illini, to second place
with a rating of 96.5.
Counting along with the rest a
lot of upsets that fooled them all,
the Williamson system met with
only 31 out-and-out upsets in 296
games reported last week. The
over-all efficiency for the week
was 86.4 per cent, and 87.8 per
cent not counting upsetting ties.
With their smashing 20 to 6 vic­tory
over Mississippi State last
Friday, the Auburn Tigers advan­ced
in the Williamson rating. The
Bengals were rated the number
eighteen team in the nation for
this week, with an 91.8 percentage.

Southeastern conference football
teams reach the half way mark
this week with Tennessee on top
of the loop with three wins against
no losses. Vanderbilt is the only
•other undefeated team, having
copped two and dropped none.
Major Bob Neyland's Vols show­ed
themselves as the class of the
conference by soundly trouncing
Alabama, last year's champs, 13-
0, in Birmingham last Saturday.
George Cafego, Tennessee ace,
found Alabama's vaunted line
much to his liking, and was the
spark in his team's strong offense,
This week the Vols take on The
Citadel in what should be a
"breather" for them.
Remaining in the undefeated
class with the Vols are Vander­bilt,
Tulane, who has a tie with
the Auburn Tigers, Georgia, and
Georgia Tech. However, the two
Georgia teams have not played a
league contest as yet.
Auburn meets Tech in Atlanta
in what should be the top tilt this
week. The Tigers found themsel­ves
against Mississippi State last
week and should be hard to stop.
The Yellow Jackets have shown
their strength against Notre Dame
and Duke, two of the nation's best,
and are definitely no set up. The
Engineers will probably enter the
game as a slight underdog. The
fact that Tennessee's powerful
machine had to wait on a break
to eke out a 7-0 win over the Ben­gals
shows that the local boys
won't be easy.
Vandy must beat L. S. U. to re­tain
her top position with Ten­nessee.
The Bayou Bengals have
yet to win a conference game.
Both teams are in good condition,
and the game looms as a thriller,
along with the Tech-Auburn fray.
In other games Georgia meets
a real test in the Holy Cross Cru­saders
from Worcester, Mass. The
Crusaders will be favored over
the Bulldogs. Tulane's Green Wave
meets Mercer. Florida, having lost
three out of four, encounters Tam­pa
University. Kentucky, who suf­fered
a surprising 8-0 loss to
Washington and Lee last week,
plays Xavier, whom they defeat-
7-0 last year. Both Mississippi
teams play intersectional games,
Ole Miss tangling with Centenary,
and the Maroons with Duquesne.
Alabama comes back against Se­wanee,
and, since these boys are
from Tennessee, should score at
will. Last year the Tide marched
through the Purple Tigers 65-0.

'Sing You Sinners'
To Be At Tiger
Hollywood's newest pair of screen
brothers are Bing Crosby and
Fred MacMurray, who head the
cast of the madcap Paramount
comedy, "Sing You Sinners,"
which opens Sunday at the Tiger
Theater.
Playing together for the first
time, Fred is cast as the serious-minded
and hard-working memb­er
of the tempestuous "Beebe"
family, while Bing is his lackadais­ical
and devil-may-care brother,
whose inability to land a job and
contribute to the household ex­penses
nearly drives Fred mad.
Elizabeth Patterson, as the strong-willed
mother who ends up as
madcap as her sons, and Donald
O'Connor, as the kid brother, com­plete
the "Beebe' family group.
The story, written by Claude
Binyon, an ex-newspaperman and
author of "I Met Him in Paris"
and "True Confession," traces the
adventures of the unpredictable
"Beebes" from their small town
beginnings to their thumping final
success in the night clubs and rac­ing
paddocks of fabulous Los An­geles.
Their rise starts when Bing,
believing the home town too small
for his talents, leaves for the big
Jitney Players
(Continued from page one)
McClelland as Merton; Madeleine
Hooley as Miss McMurtry; Robert
K. Adams as Wing Blatt; Jerry
Bascom as Peebles; and Pendle­ton
Harrison as Alan McClean.
"Both Your Houses" won the
Pulitzer Prize for Maxwell An­derson
in 1933. It is the story of
a young congressman with ideals
who suddenly finds himself in
city, promising to send for his
mother and kid brother as soon as
he gets well established.
Bing's dizzy career in Los An­geles
parallels the star's own col­orful
life story. After making an
immediate killing at the races, he
buys a swapshop with his win­nings.
But, by the time Miss Pat­terson
and young O'Connor arrive
they find he has traded his busi­ness
for a racehorse, on which he
places everything he and they have
in the world. Through the unex­pected
performance of the horse
and the intercession of MacMur­ray,
who organizes his brothers
and himself into a night club sing­ing
trio, the "Beebes" bring their
Los Angeles adventures to a suc­cessful,
although startling, con­clusion.

Nominations For Freshman
Election Due Wednesday
Nomination blanks for candi­dates
in the freshman election,
which is to be held on Thursday,
Nov. 3, must be in the hands of
Billy McGehee, chairman of the
elections committee, by noon of
next Wednesday. No blanks will
be accepted after that date.
Freshmen officers to be chosen
include: president, vice president,
secretary, treasurer, historian, and
representative to the Executive
Cabinet.
As in the past, the balloting will
take place at the student center.
The customary rules and regula­tion
regarding campaigning at the
polls and the presence of students
on the floor of the polling place af­ter
they have cast their ballots
will be in force.
All student nomination blanks
must be signed by 25 members of
the freshman class.
Dean Scott Is Named To
Committee On Government
Dr. John W. Scott, Dean of the
School of Science and Literature
of the Alabama Polytechnic In­stitute,
has been appointed as a
member of a committee on govern­ment
of the Alabama State Cham­ber
of Commerce. The names of
the six members of the committee
were announced Oct. 9 by Benja­min
Russell, president of the Ala­bama
State Chamber of Com­merce.
In announcing the appointment,
Mr. Russell stated: "Our govern­ment
belongs to the people, and
we have the right, and which
right we need to exercise, to mak*
recommendations with reference
to government affairs."
The YWCA will hold its regu­lar
meeting Monday night in Smith
Hall at 7 p. m.
the midst of a group of old-time
politicians at work on a big ap­propriations
bill and all intent on
their share of the "pie." He at­tempts
to draw up a relatively
honest bill, but soon realizes that
such a fight is hopeless, and makes
the bill so dishonest that he be­lieves
it will be killed at once.
However, it is so pleasing to all
parties concerned that it is passed
by a tremendous majority in both
houses, Again and again the irony
of "Both Your Houses" is directed
against lobbying, political graft,
party "whips" and similar fea­tures
of Washington politics.

teams were entered. Ten teams
have sent in their entries for the
38-39 contest.
The schedule is as follows:
Tuesday, Oct. 25: Winfrey Boyd
and George Hiller, affirmative,
vs. Sabel Baum and George Mc-
Broom, negative.
Thursday, Oct. 27: Knox Mill-sap
and Meredyth Hazzard, affir­mative,
vs. Homer Jacobs and Wil­liam
Boggs, negative.
Monday, Oct. 31: Joseph K. Mil­ler
and partner, affirmative, vs.
Ed Taylor and John Ivey, nega­tive.
'
Tuesday, Nov. 1: Martin Wen-der
and Byrd Marshall, affirma­tive,
vs. John Godbold and Har­old
Sutton, negative.
Thursday, Nov. 3: George Young
and Tom Memory, affirmative, vs.
Kirk Newell and partner, neg­ative.
The question for debate this
year is: "Resolved: That the U. S.
government should cease to use
public funds to stimulate busi­ness."
The Tau Kappa Alpha Varsity
Tournament consists of two rounds
of debate, each team debating a
different side of the question and
against a different opponent in
each round.
A. P. I. chapter of Tau Kappa
Alpha, national honorary forensic
fraternity, also sponsors a fresh­man
tournament each year. How­ever,
according to John Godbold,
president of the Debate Council,
the number of freshmen out for
debate is so small that it may be
impossible to hold the freshman
tourney. He emphasized the fact
that both tournaments were still
open for entry and that new con­testants
would be welcome, par­ticularly
freshmen. Entries may
be left with Godbold or in the of­fice
of Prof. E. D. Hess in the L
Building.
Members of winning teams in
both tournaments are awarded
cups, while members of runner-up
teams are given keys.
The freshman tournament of
last year was won by Joseph K.
Miller and Harold Sutton, run-ners-
up being Sabel Baum and
Knox Millsap. The varsity tour-
Price Of Auburn-Opelika
Game Cut For Students
The Opelika High School ath­letic
association extends a cordial
invitation for all Auburn stu­dents
to see the Auburn-Opelika
high school classic tonight.
For the benefit of Auburn stu­dents
the admission to this game
has been reduced to 25 cents plus
the student's athletic ticket book.
No coupon will be taken, but books
must be shown.
This game is the annual classic
for the championship of Lee
County. This year the game has
been made more colorful by the
strength of each team and a cham
pionship trophy to be presented by
the Opelika Daily News.
The game will be played at
Moore field tonight at 7:30.
Tech Game
(Continued from Face One)
ner. A coach has to tie his offense
to a triple-threat star, and it now
looks as if Kelly will measure up
to these standards.
Coaches Jordan and Chambliss,
Auburn scouts, have warned the
Tigers that the "Rambling Wreck"
is considerably stronger defensive­ly
than last year and also boasts
a much more deceptive running at­tack.
And these facts were borne
out in Tech's games with Notre
Dame and Duke, two of the na
tions best elevens.
Considerable shifting around of
the backfield is likely when the
Engineers plays Auburn tomor
row. The Jacket coaches are
striving mightily for more ground-gaining
power and especially a
scoring punch, which to date has
been lacking.
