• I K Cake Race To Be December 10 WA? Auburn plainsman VOL. LXII Z-I AUBURN, ALABAMA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1938 NUMBER 14 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- (Continued on Fage Four) Queen Of Harvest MABEL GRAY of Abbeville, who was recently selected by the Ag Club to reign as Queen of the Harvest at the Ag Club Fair to be held Nov. 4 in the WPA amphitheater. Miss Gray is a sophomore in home economics education. '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 (Continued on page four) '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: 101 light globes missing —, $21.50 1 plush seat cushion missing _— 1 smoking seat cushion missing.. 1 seat cushion missing 5 window glasses broken 2 vestibule glasses broken 1 vestibule door glass broken — 1 lamp shade broken 1 sash glass broken 3 sash locks out of place 1 seat arm rest out of place 1 vestibule curtain missing 1 thermometer and rack missing 2 toilet paper racks missing 1 drinking cup tube missing 15.00 12.50 5.00 1.50 7.50 2.50 .75 1.75 1.50 1.00 2.50 2.50 3.00 1.50 Total .$80.00 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! by I. Philip Space 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 every time and I don't hear any comment on it. Not even a rise of Jo-Jo, who is proud to get his name in the paper at least twice a week. AUBURN FOOTPRINTS Punchboard Gibbons and Strong 1313. SOME LINES RECEIVED from J.

The jest: "Providence has given to the French the empire of the land; to the English that of the sea; to the Germans that of—the air!" Carlyle's essay on Richter appeared in the Edinburgh Review in 1827. * * * 650.

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?" * * * 1874. SINCE BROUN HALL is evidently going to be used at least fifty more years, there are two minor changes that should be made—one at very little expense, neither a subject for a special P. W. A. grant. Those of you who are six feet tall or taller know about that ov- DEFESflTIONS: Consarn—A business firm. G. Whiz—An expert G. man. Pshaw—George Bernard's last name. Golly—A deep-sided ditch, such as the Grand Canyon. * * * They say there isn't much change in freshmen this year. You can always tell a freshman girl because she says "stop." And you can always tell a freshman boy because he stops. * * * The following persons may receive free passes to the Sunday and Monday show, "Sing, You Sinners," by calling by the box office and giving their names: John Cobb, Juanita Johnston, Walter Meadors, John Eagan, and C.

THE EDITOR'S MAILBOX To the Members of Omicron Delta Kappa: We would like to take this means of thanking you for the tickets to the Miscellany Monday night. The entire program was excellent, and O. D. K. should certainly be congratulated for arranging such a delightful evening and using the funds for the purpose of building those much-needed tennis courts. You picked a worthy cause, and it was certainly well done. Sincerely, Blue Key Allen Martin, President Editor The Auburn Plainsman 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.

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.

Yorn trooly, Naughty Cleveland Editor The Auburn Plainsman 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 aren't men) boys who quail at being called "rat." I don't know about the rest of the "rats," but as for myself, I am an Auburn "rat." "Rat" Cain. Editor The Auburn Plainsman 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.

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. FOR RENT—2 new apartments. 1 apartment, 4 rooms unfurnished; 1 apartment, 2 rooms furnished. 227 East Magnolia.

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. Will sell '28 Chevrolet 4-door sedan cheap. In good condition.

BURKES, AGT. Second, Alabama Eighth Phone 264 Auburn, Ala. Mill By John B. Thomas 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.

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.

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. Official Debate Schedule Given The official schedule for the opening round of the Tau Kappa Alpha Varsity Debate Tournament was announced today by the Debate Council. The tournament is slightly smaller than last year's in which 12 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.

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.

LXII Z-I AUBURN, ALABAMA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1938 NUMBER 14 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- (Continued on Fage Four) Queen Of Harvest MABEL GRAY of Abbeville, who was recently selected by the Ag Club to reign as Queen of the Harvest at the Ag Club Fair to be held Nov. 4 in the WPA amphitheater. Miss Gray is a sophomore in home economics education. '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 (Continued on page four) '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: 101 light globes missing —, $21.50 1 plush seat cushion missing _— 1 smoking seat cushion missing.. 1 seat cushion missing 5 window glasses broken 2 vestibule glasses broken 1 vestibule door glass broken — 1 lamp shade broken 1 sash glass broken 3 sash locks out of place 1 seat arm rest out of place 1 vestibule curtain missing 1 thermometer and rack missing 2 toilet paper racks missing 1 drinking cup tube missing 15.00 12.50 5.00 1.50 7.50 2.50 .75 1.75 1.50 1.00 2.50 2.50 3.00 1.50 Total .$80.00 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! by I. Philip Space 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 every time and I don't hear any comment on it. Not even a rise of Jo-Jo, who is proud to get his name in the paper at least twice a week. AUBURN FOOTPRINTS Punchboard Gibbons and Strong 1313. SOME LINES RECEIVED from J.

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?" * * * 1874. SINCE BROUN HALL is evidently going to be used at least fifty more years, there are two minor changes that should be made—one at very little expense, neither a subject for a special P. W. A. grant.

THE EDITOR'S MAILBOX To the Members of Omicron Delta Kappa: We would like to take this means of thanking you for the tickets to the Miscellany Monday night. The entire program was excellent, and O. D. K. should certainly be congratulated for arranging such a delightful evening and using the funds for the purpose of building those much-needed tennis courts. You picked a worthy cause, and it was certainly well done. Sincerely, Blue Key Allen Martin, President Editor The Auburn Plainsman 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.

Yorn trooly, Naughty Cleveland Editor The Auburn Plainsman 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 aren't men) boys who quail at being called "rat." I don't know about the rest of the "rats," but as for myself, I am an Auburn "rat." "Rat" Cain. Editor The Auburn Plainsman 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.

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. FOR RENT—2 new apartments. 1 apartment, 4 rooms unfurnished; 1 apartment, 2 rooms furnished. 227 East Magnolia.

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. Will sell '28 Chevrolet 4-door sedan cheap. In good condition.

BURKES, AGT. Second, Alabama Eighth Phone 264 Auburn, Ala. Mill By John B. Thomas 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.

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.

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. Official Debate Schedule Given The official schedule for the opening round of the Tau Kappa Alpha Varsity Debate Tournament was announced today by the Debate Council. The tournament is slightly smaller than last year's in which 12 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.

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.
