AUBURN TIGERS OUT TO BEAT SOUTHERN AT CRAMTON BOWL TONIGHT
ALABAMA rOLf-At/MCrXfJ-Tigers
Are Ready For Southern Game
Probable Line-ups Are Given
With the finishing touches ap­plied
the Auburn Tigers are anx­iously
awaiting the opening whis­tle
at eight o'clock which will start
them off on their ten game sche­dule
of 1937. Close to 20,000 fans
will witness the "battle of lights"
between Auburn and Birmingham-
Southern, to be played in Cram-ton
Bowl.
The Tigers will enter the game
with a weight advantage of nine
pounds to the man, both backfields
averaging the same. The average
weight of each man of the Au­burn
line will be 194 pounds, to
185 for the Panthers. In the back-field
the weights are 166 for both
Dutfitas.
Coach Jenks Gillem of Southern
has eight seniors in his starting
lineup, together with three soph­omores.
The entire squad will be
ready for action tonight. The team
even better this year. Rex McKis-sick
and Stancil Whatley are out­standing
reserves.
The Plainsmen will be well
fortified at the tackle posts. In Bo
Russell, Coach Jack Meagher has
one of the best tackles in the
South. Freddie Holman at the other
tackle spot should give Auburn's
opponents something to think
about. Add to this the assistance
of Nichols and MacEachern, the
tackle position should be well
taken-care of.
Happy Sivell is slated to start
at left guard. Sivell is agressive
and a hard worker and likes his
football. At right guard will be
Fred Gillam. He has had the ex­perience
and will prove very val­uable
to the line. Vernon Burns
and Milton Howell will also see
some service tonight.
Lester Antley is a sure starter

was impressive in Tuesday's scrim?'
nage and Coach Gillem expressed
the belief that his team will give
Auburn a real game.
At the left flank for Auburn
will be Goon Harrison, who al­though
just a sophomore has given
promise of developing into a great
end. At the other terminal will be
stationed Oscar Burford, who gave
good performances at the end of
last season and is expected to be
CAPTAIN

ALABAMA &O/-V -AUBU/Zht
at center. Being a substitute for
the great Walter Gilbert he was
overshadowed somewhat,, but
gained invaluable knowledge these
past two seasons and should really
come out in the open this season.
He is being counted upon heavily
to carry on where Gilbert left off.
Malvern Morgan, a sophomore, is
a good reserve.
Little Pig Walker, who scales
165, will be in there calling signals.
He has developed into a good
blocker and field general, and
should have a lot to do with the
way Auburn goes this year. Di­minutive
John Davis,, who has
great potentialities as quarterback,
but lacks size, will probably re­lieve
Walker.
Billy Hitchcock and Jimmie
Fenton are slated to be in there for
the opening kickoff. The back-field
is supplied with plenty- of
good reserves and the competition
is keenest here. George Kenmore
at left half and Ralph O'Gwynne
at righ half will comprise the sec­ond
string backfield.
Dutch Heath, has the exper­ience
to give him the edge over
Pelham Sitz and Kermit Weaver
at fullback. He weights but 166
pounds but is rugged and fast.
Sitz and Weaver have both shown
up well in practice and will see
plenty of action tonight.

0. D. K. Lays Plans
For Activities
OfTheYear
Gigantic Pep Rally Before
Georgia Game Will Be
First Event
Plans are under way for Omri-cron
Delta Kappa, national honor­ary
fraternity for outstanding col­lege
seniors, to sponsor a large cel­ebration
on the eve of Auburn's
homecoming game with Georgia
November 20 .
A pep rally and bonfire have
been scheduled for Friday night
before the game on Saturday, fea­tured
by speeches from outstand­ing
Auburn alumni. Following the
rally, O. D. K. is sponsoring a
dance.
Election of a "Miss Homecom­ing"
will be conducted this year
by O. D. K. and the Plainsman.
Results of the election will be an­nounced
at the rally Friday night
and "Miss Homecoming" will be
Auburn's sponsor at the game in
Columbus Saturday.
The eighth annual O. D. K. cake
race for freshmen will be run De­cember
12. The course will be the
same as formerly, beginning at the
freshman football field, proceed­ing
through the streets of Auburn
to Drake field.
Winner of the event will be
awarded a huge cake and his
Freshman numerals; the next 24
placing will receive smaller cakes.
In addition to these awards, the
fraternity having the first four
pledges to finish the race will be
given a silver loving cup. All prizes
are presented by O. D. K.
Thomas Turner, student in
Electrical Engineering, won the
cake race last year in the time of
15:43.6. The all-time record for
the competition is 14:58, set by
Westley Finley in 1932.
At the end of the intramural
sports season this year, a cup will
be presented by O. D. K. to the
outstanding intramural athlete, se­lected
from both fraternity and
non-fraternity competitors.
Billy Hitchcock is chairman of
the O. D. K. committee on the
homecoming celebration. Other
members of the committee include
W. B.'Stelzenmuller, Jarvis Brown,
and Charles Chisolm.
Heading the cake race committee
is Buck Darden. He will be as­sisted
by Ed Duncan, Lopez Man-toux,
and Roy Dodge.
CORRECTION
Sergeant Reeves, former Auburn
engineer tutor, is stationed at
Memphis Tech rather than Georgia
Tech as was slated in the Wednes­day
issue.
NOTICE!
The meeting of the editorial
staff has been changed from 7
o'clock to 8 o'clock Monday night
in order not to conflict with a
journalism class. Any student in­tending
to work on the staff must
be present at the meeting.

.Ingram, college accountant; and
Prof. Joseph E. Roop, assistant

MANY STUDENTS ATTEND
FIRST DANCE CLASS
Approximately eighty students
consisting of co-eds and their
partners, turned out Tuesday night
for the first of a series of social
dance classes in the Student Hall
under the direction of Miss Louise
Kreher, of the physical education
department.
The class will function to fulfill
the desire of the students for in­struction
in ballroom dancing. For
that reason only beginners are
asked to attend the classes. In­structions
in the one-step and box-step
was given at the first meet­ing.
Chick Hatcher Is Chosen
Freshman Cheerleader
In Severe Tryout
Due to the inability of the
judges to choose one out of
three freshmen in the run-off
for cheerleader, the selection
was left up to the eheerlead-ing
staff, Jack Adams, Charlie
O'Reilly, and Richmond Flow­ers.
Taking the three aspir­ants
to the lawn of the Pi
Kappa Phi house, the cheer­leaders
ran them through ev­ery
Auburn yell and routine.
It was after midnight last
night when Chick Hatcher
was finally selected freshman
cheerleader. The others trying
out were Bob Gamewell and
Harold Sutton.
With loud "War Eagles" re­sounding
far and wide, what was
probably the biggest and most suc­cessful
pep meeting in the history
of pre-game rallies was held last,
night both inside and out of Lang­don
Hall. Under the leadership of
Head Cheerleader Jack Adams, up-perclassmen
and freshmen alike
responded to the urge of the 'Au­burn
Spirit.' Last season's Cheer-master
Bill Lee and '33 Cheer­leader
Bill Ham led students in
familiar Auburn yells and songs.
Auburn's eighty-piece band that
will today lead parading Auburn
men through the streets of down­town
Montgomery lent its full sup­port
with their renditions of stir­ring
marches, 'Glory to Old Au­burn,'
and 'Alma Mater.'
Max Weldon, president of the
Student Government, advised stu­dents
that "The trip to and from
Montgomery will not be a po­liced
excursion, but a trial of the
honor and ability of students to
conduct themselves in a way be­fitting
men and women of Au­burn.
If the trip turns out to be
successful from the standpoint of
both students leaders and school
officials, future freedoms of the
same nature may be expected,
whereas should the excursion fail,
it will be difficult to ever again

"WAR EAGLE" CLEARED UP
IN TILT WITH WRITER
In accordance with that fine Auburn
Spirit, this paper feels it expedient to an­swer
the somewhat desultory letter which
the editor received this week. But, first, it
is necessary that it be understood that
letters are expected and are greatly de­sired.
The Forum is maintained to afford
just' what its title connotes.
It would not be much of a wild specula­tion
to wager that such a very few of
those "war-eagling enthusiasts" know what
they are saying and why they are saying
such words that the number would be en­tirely
negligible. It is a very good instance
of the workings of mob psychology. When
we go to our first mass meeting and are told
to holler "War Eagle" with all our might.
We are made to believe that our very lives
depends upon the volume with which we
are able to bring out these savage calls.
The yell does sound good, and it gets into
one's blood, coming very near making all
of us loyal Auburn supporters.
Now this "War Eagle" business started
back in the good old Anglo-Saxon days
when the essence of true blue Auburn men
with their iron-clad spirit had its nucleus
generated from a clan that was strong it­self.
Like our own Tigers, they were fight­ing
men with a sincere mettle. When they
went into battle the very same cry could
have been anything like as strong as ours.
To them the War Eagle was a buzzard.
Mind you, they, by no means, worshipped
this bird, but they did call on him to~lend
his aid when they went into battle. Just
like we do today, they yelled "War Eagle"
with all their might to come to the field
and move the dead that were sure to pile
up in their tracks. Don't our Tiger warriors
leave just such destruction in their wake
when on the field?
This issue should have been settled at
this point, that is, the quality of the edi­tors'
Auburn spirit. Though let it be re­membered
that there was hardly any al­lusion
to such an incongruency. The edi­torial
was a bit of satire on fraternity and
sorority rushing and that which was in­volved
in the quiet little matter.
Formerly, students have been reminded
of only one tradition which they were to
uphold. That tradition certainly warrants
the remonstrations of the upperclassmen
and the cheerleaders of the freshmen and
the other potential supporters. Now you
have even more for which to yell, the noble
forebearers and their spirit, and the inspi­ration
that brought about its initiation on
this campus as our battle cry.
NEW WAR FILM TEACHES OBJECT
LESSON ABOUT WAR HORRORS
To debunk the glory of war that leads
hundreds of students to study R. O. T. C.
and the majority of the nations to engage
- ,in a rearmament race, Henrique Maria Re­marque's
book, "The Road Back," has been
filmed. Banned from Germany because of
the stark lesson it teaches, it should give
the Americans, who have a chance to see
it, food for serious thought.
War is not a child's game, but is a chess
game played by Mars and Fate with men
as pawns—mere pawns that are sacrificed
to gain a castle or a queen. Students, with
their child's idea of war, grasp for the
chance to take as much war training as
possible. That is the training that gets
them ready to go to war. With more and
more students getting ready every day, the
nation becomes filled with fighters. It is
always the nation that is best prepared that
\
first plunges into war.
There is enough war talk in the air, with
the conflicts in China and Japan, with out
giving the youth of the nation a daily re­minder
that they must someday go out to
die for the fatherland. Youth is told to
study war and be officers in the next
battle and they dp so thinking that they
will get an easy birth when the conflict ar­rives.
The film showed that the berth of the
lieutenants and captains was. out in front
of the rank, leading, not sending, the pri­vates.
• Sherman had a word for war back in i
CivilWar times. His word would not des­cribe
the horror of the World War, and an
entirely new word would have to be coined
to describe a modern international war
which would bring into play all' the fien­dish
death-dealing machines that have been
devised since the last conflict. Would it not
then be better to teach the elements of
peace than the elements of war? The answ­er
lies with each individual as he charts his
course during the next few months and
years.
"BIG APPLE" IS JAZZ AGE
AT ITS HEIGHT
It is little more than common knowledge
that the Opening Dances were virtual "Big
Apple" sessions. That is, people went to
them expecting to do that big of low-down
swingy jazz well known by its rather com­mon
and fruity title. All'of this spectacle
not only pepped up the dance attendants
to a frenzy that was appaling but also serv­ed
to remind one that we are again going
through the ordeals of another "jazz age,"
apparently.
Not only has dancing been jazzed up
but practically everything else that would
stand the tension. That includes a large
community of commodities and interests.
For such an exercise as the Big Apple ex­ercise,
one might well expect the partici­pants
to'come dressed in the most colorful
array of gaudy clothes that might be se­cured.
In all probability, the on-lookers,
those puny souls who have not had their
tension cords restrung, will be required to
present some similar dress that is in keep­ing
with the occasion.
Providing the musical accompaniment
will be the swingiest and the jazziest num­bers
that dizzy souls are able to improvise.
It is an established fact that this music is
not jazz- The copyright for this modern
touching will not allow it to be called such;
it is Swing, streamlined.
Strong running feeling surging against
the barriers of self respect in self and so­cial
restraint refused to stay pent-up any
longer. With the beginning of the era of
practicality instead of morality, the repeal
of prohibition laws and standards that
were not considerate of a thirsty and tired
people, and the return of the true appre­ciation
of screwy art at its zenith, some­thing
started and it has been going over"
with a bang since that time and with every
new introduction of a pepped-up idea or
conception of doing things the modern way.
COLLEGE NEEDS DIRECTOR OVER
CURRICULA ACTIVITIES
Both for the benefit of students wishing
to engage in some extra-curricula activity
and for the assistance of those already en­gaged
in some activity the college should
provide a head for all activities. Such a
man would be over all heads of separate
activities.
The provision of a head of this sort would
be a saving to the college in dollars .and
cents as he could be purchasing agent for
the publications, the Auburn Players, the
debaters, the sports not included in the
Athletic Department, and any other sub­division
of college activities. Equipment
for all the divisions could be bought at re­duced
prices through lump sum buying.
Aside for the value in money, he would
be of additional .value to the college in
smoother functioning of the divisions.
With smoother functioning would come
increases in students taking part in activi­ties.
More divisions could be created to
cover any desire of the students to get
something out of college besides actual
book work. If the school offered a larger
field of activities, more students would
attend the school and better fitted students
would graduate.
Such a man would be of infinite value
to the students in placing them and ad­vising
them as to the activity for which
they are best fitted. He could organize an
Activities Board consisting of the exist­ing
heads of the separate divisions for
closer cooperation between them. Any pro­gram
or schedule arranged would be pro­fitable
and the idea remains a good one.

"Bosom Pal" Writes Letter Griping
About Editorial Page
Editor, The Plainsman >. •'•'.
Dear Sir:
Might I take this opportunity and a little
of your precious time to register what might
commonly be called a gripe.
The point in question has to do with your
so-called editorial page. It is undoubtedly the
most moronic collection of literary prostitution
that has ever been my displeasure to xome
across. To begin with your editorial comments
are undoubtedly written merely to fill up the
space with little, or no thought, to the subject
matter or its presentation. They are at their
best little short of being inane and an insult
to the intelligence of the average college stu­dent.
As for the letters to the editors. They are
written by the members of the staff with the
obvious intention of inflating your ego by
making people think anyone would waste the
time writing to you. I am not quite sure but
what I am wasting my own time as you prob­ably
haven't the nerve to print this.
Lastly, but most certainly not leastly, we
come to the subject of your columnists. "Cats
and Canaries" is nothing else but a publicity
medium for a bunch of "name-in-print-hounds
with an assortment of gossip hogs." "Talk
About the Town" and "News and Views" are
poor imitations of the real thing by a couple
of psuedo-intellectuals who probably have
little else to do. They fill space I will admit,
but the result would be the same if it were
left blank.
Do I make myself clear?
Indignantly yours,

Dear Sir:
Here is a short poem that you may publish

I hate she; I hate she;
I wish she were died;
Her told I her loved I,
But, darnit, her lied.
My loved has flewed,
She's goned, she's wented!
How could it ever was?
She done me dirt;
I didn't know her was a flirt;
Future loves me do forbid,
Lest they be doed like I was did.

The Auburn Plainsman
Dear Sir:
I am writing this letter to enlist the assis­tance
of the students in getting as near pre­fect
coverage as possible in circulation, and
also to enlist their support of our friends, the
advertisers in these pages.
A survey has already been made of the
town for the purpose of delivering papers
to all students. However, since the survey was
made, many students have enrolled and many
others have moved to other boarding houses.
For that reason more than enough papers are
being delivered to some houses while too few
or none at all are being delivered to other •
houses.
In order to get the circulation working in
perfect order, I am asking that any student or
college official who is not now getting a paper
write me a letter giving their name, address,
and the number of students living at the ad­dress.
Such action will greatly benefit both
the recipient of the paper and the staff of
circulation managers.
In addition to my first request it' is also
my earnest wish that all readers of the paper
especially the students, read the advertise­ments
carefully, consider them, and, wherever
possible, patronize them. The businesses that
advertise in the student paper are in their way
backing the college, the students, and the ac­tivities.
Give them your consideration and
trade.
Sincerely yours,
C. M. Pruet
Student Submits Poem For Students
To Read In Paper
Editor,
The Auburn Plainsman.
Dear Sir:
Enclosed is one of my original poems for
your observation. If you think it worthy,
please print it in the Plainsman.
Her Eyes
Her eyes are as beautiful as truth,
As profoundly mysterious as life:
They reveal a soul
More enternal than the stars,
And a heart that is made for love.
Sometimes they are vast pools of blue
That reflect the depth of her soul,
And when they are dimmed by tears,
They are gray as an ocean in rain,
There are shadows, sometimes that linger
When her heart is pensive and sad.
Again they are fleeting as birds on the wing
When the song of her soul is glad.
Her eyes are as beautiful as truth,
As profoundly mysterious as life:
They reveal a soul more eternal than stars,
And a heart that is made for love. .
—Van Douglas
Talk About The Town
by JACK STEPPE
We have often wondered how the more
widely read polumnists managed to do their
daily stint and still avert the evil of boring
their readers. Old Mclntyre, Walter Lippman,
Westbrook Pegler and others whose's chores
are- somewhat more than mere reporting
seldom, if ever, lose their entertaining touch.
The mystery still remains however and we
are only the more confused when trying to
accede to the editors request for this copy a
day ahead of time. The blank copy pages
loom like a specter ahead of us, and we wond­er
if someone couldn't furnish a few bright
ideas to enliven these lines from time to time.
Mean-while we pound along and hope people
don't start reccomending this piece as a cure
for insomnia.
UNUSUAL—It isn't often that a professor's
lecture draws spontaneous commendations
from the students at large. Such, however, is
and has been, the award of Dean Petrie on
his spritely weekly lectures. It is to be r e ­gretted
that his efforts should be confined
to the campus alone, when his ready wit and
casual but forceful orations might win him an
even greater fame than he has already achiev­ed.
All this being brought to mind on hearing
two freshmen enthusiastically discussing his
efforts. Unusual is perhaps a mild word of
decription, but it conveys the idea.
IMPROVEMENT—Being the Auburn Band's
departure from their strict military parading,
at football games. On Friday night they will
unveil this innovation and the result, if the
preliminary drills are taken as a criterion, is
certain to bring a flood of favorable comment.
The game itself is probably but about half
of the spectacle for any but the real students

News and Views
By John Godbold
The eyes of Alabama are these days upon the
selection of a successor to Senator Dixie
Graves when she finishes the remainder of
ex-Senator Black's term. With Tom Heflin
and Lister Hill already avowed candidates,
it is expected that several more may join in
the race. State Senator Miller Bonner of
Camden seems almost a sure candidate, and
Henry B. Steagall of Ozark is a good bet. Oth­er
possibilities are Hugh A. Loche, once can­didate
for governor, and Representative Sam
Hobbs of Selma who has so capably represent-*
ed the Fourth Congressional District.
Rumors continue to circulate that a search
is on to persuade one of the erstwhile candi­dates
to run on an an anti-Roosevelt plat­form
against pro-Roosevelt Lister Hill.
Alabama has long been famous for the
quality of her statesmen. Edmund W. Pettus,
John Tyler Morgan, Oscar Underwood, Hugo
Black, the Bankheads, and many others have
been capable and famous leaders.
This year Auburn has the largest enroll­ment
in its history. The "class of '41 is the
largest class ever to come here. It bids fair
to become one of the greatest classes ever to
finish here.
The state is giving to Auburn at least a large
• enough appropriation to operate the school
and perhaps to expand a little. The Auburn
men and Auburn supporters everywhere are
feeling their oats. Never again are they going
to stand by and see Auburn suffer in poverty
and hardship. '
Prospects for a field house and a stadium
are good. The Alumni groups which are being
organized are going to be of much greater
importance than just helping to pay for im­provements
of athletic facilities. The closer
unification of Auburn men means a greater
Auburn.
The outlook on football is good. Auburn's
prestige is steadily growing. This year's sche­dule
may mean added fame. For the first
time the college is paying the transportation
costs for sending the students en masse to a
football game.
All these facts when summed up mean one
thing. This is Auburn's year. Auburn is on
the way to becoming a bigger and a better
institution.
Watch Auburn go!
Last week a man died—the kind of man that
the world needs. He was Thomas Masaryk, ex-president
of Czechoslovakia. The devotion of
his people was sufficient evidence of the worth
and ability of Masaryk. Thousands upon thou­sands
of devouts stood in line for hours to
pass by the closed coffin of their national hero.
Out of the ashes of the World War, Masaryk
salvaged a portion of the old Austro-Hunga-rian
Empire. Though it was peopled by a
heterogenous population, divided by racial
differences, and ravaged by defeat in war,
Masaryk built there one of the great nations
of Europe. Though time and again he was in
a position to take over the reins of govern­ment
as a dictator if he so desired, Masaryk
only continued to practice the principles of
democracy which he preached. Recently when
he stepped down from the presidency of the
nation which he fathered, he turned over to
his successor one of the most democratic na­tions
of the world. Perhaps even Masaryk
builded better than he knew.
of the game and the gyrations of the bands
and the cheer-leaders add much to the color
of the occasion. •
Similies Again
As mildly unconcerned as a co-ed uppn
hearing herself mentioned as a possibe Miss
Auburn.
As calm and collected as Ye Eds trying to
get the copy together for an edition, before
the previous one has come out.
As unpatronizing to freshmen as a new
senior cadet officer with more than one but­ton
on his shoulder. (Contributed)
One might take the danger of exposing
himself to a little culture and seeing what
Hollywood has done to Will Shakespeare's
favorite tome now on view at the local "palace
de cinema." Superb acting by Leslie Hward
and Norma Shearer—who is somewhat more
than Willy's "rag, a bone and a hank of hair."
One of our six readers disavows his allieg-ance
upon finding himself mentioned. Re­cruits
bids are now being accepted to take s
his place—but we make no promises.
Tempis fugit and all that sort of thing—
and anyway the blank spaces have at last
evaporated so for now we say "30".

New Huddle System
Used By Varsity
This Season
The Tigers will flash a new
feature against Birmingham -
Southern when they come out with
the military huddle. For several
days Coach Meagher has been
drilling his men on the new hud­dle
and it has added considerably
to the appearance of the team.
In the past Auburn has used
the circular huddle with forma­tion
according to position, but this
year the eleven will form in an
extended diamond formation with'
the quarterback facing from the
defense. After the play is given
in the huddle, everyone stays
in position until given a "march
command" by the quarterback.
As this is given the lineman pivot
and assume a semi-crouch in then-regular
positions an dthe backs
go to their posts and assume their
offensive stance. A second com­mand
is given by the quarterback
and the linemen get down in then-crouched
positions and await the
signals.
The significance of the military
huddle is not altogether in im­proving
team appearance; it has
value in adding deceptiveness to
plays. Flayers are often careless
in games and allow their lining up
to give the play away; that is, they
are obviously more alert on early
snap plays than on the late-snap
plays. The mlitary huddle does
away with this by having line­men
go to a semi-crouch position
and then down to their regular
stances when given a command
by the quarterback. In addition
to appearance and deception mer­its,
this type huddle strengthens
the ties of organization and, in
general gives a coordinating "zip"
to a team.
The new ideas of mass atten­dance
of Auburn students at foot­ball
games is being tried out by
the Athletic Department at the
game tonight. If the affair proves
successful and practical it will be
repeated. If students don't deport
themselves properly it will not be
tried 'again.

Next Week-End
Next week-end the Auburn
Tigers will take on Tulane in their
first Southeastern Conference en­counter
of the season, the game
being played in New Orleans. The
Plainsmen will also be the first
conference foe of Tulane, the
Greenies meeting Clemson in their
initial game of the year tomor­row
afternoon.
Coach Red Dawson and his Tu­lane
Green Wave are gunning for
seven victories this year, with
Alabama and L. S. U. having too
much manpower to conquer, ac­cording
' to Dawson. Tulane will
have a shot at four teams given
top-flight rating by the experfe,
and this, no doubt will have an
important bearing on the outcome
of the conference race.
Tulane lost seven lettermen from
the 1936 club which functioned
like a world-beater in October and
then collapsed in accordian-fash-ion
in November. From tackle to
tackle Coach Dawson will have a
fast, hard-charging line with
plenty of beef to boot. The only
man in that quintet who weighs
less than 200 is Norman Hall, a
guard, who scales 190.

The success of failure of the
team will rest heavily on the ends.
Weak terminals last year proved
fatal, and Dawson is hard at work
to plug those spots. Two sopho­mores,
Pete Golomg and Kurt
Oelschlager, are being groomed.
Both are rangy and fast but lack
experience.
The reserves, weak point of the
1936 aggregation, should not hand­icap
this years' machine. Coach
Dawson has two or three pro­mising
replacements for every po­sition,
but the majority lack ex­perience.

Enjfoy Chesterfields . . . THEY SATISFY
Saturday afternoon, at 2:30 p.
m., on Drake Field, will see the
Tiger Frosh gridmen open their
1937 season as they engage the
Birmingham-Southern Rats in
their annual fracas.
Rounding out only two short
weeks of practice the baby Ben­gals
will battle their traditional
foe when they come to blows with
Southern Saturday. Due to the
large number of candidates for
the positions on the starting eleven
there has been plenty of action
among the forty Frosh who have
been issued uniforms to date.
For the past few years this has
been the outstanding gridiron en­counter
at Drake Field, even if
the battle is not one played by
the varjsityl For several! years
the game has ended in nearly a
dead heat, with never over one
touchdown difference in the score
any one year.
Since this Southern-Tiger bat­tle
of the Rats has been an annual
affair there has been one season
that the score was a tie. Last
year the Frosh annexed the en­counter
by a score of 12-7.
To date there ane no starting
lineups available for publication,
but it is expected that the game
will be a thriller as it has been
in the past. If you want to see
the future varsity boys in action
be out for the game Saturday
and pull for the rats.
This early in the season there
has been no display of unusual
talent on the Frosh squad, but
there seems to be a well-rounded
eleven shaping up that should turn
in good performances this season.
The baby Bengals also face the
Georgia Tech Rats and the Flori­da
Gator Frosh squad, this sea­son.
After watching Coach Jordan
put the rats through an extensive
afternoon's workout, it is noticed
that they are going to develop
into a very fraudable aggregation
before the end of the season. The
blocking and pass receiving seems
to be the strongest attributes of
the squad.
To date there has not developed
a formidable punter, although
there are several boys who show
great promise of becoming profi­cient
in the art of booting the
pigskin. Several are securing
plenty of distance on their kicks,
but are not able so far to get the
necessary height to give the ends
time to get down under the boots
as they should. Although the
squad as a whole is rather light,
there is plenty of speed present
and most of the boys look as if
they will add plenty of weight be­fore
time to begin practice for
varsity competition. The most pro­mising
material witnessed is in-cluuded
in the following list:
Ends—McGehee, Hall, Ethridge;
Tackles—Starkes, Mills, West;
Guards—Head, Miller, Potter; Cen­ters—
Criteberg and Spivey; Quar­terbacks—
McMahan, Feaster; Left
Halfbacks—McGowan and Ellis;
Right halfbacks—Willorford, and
Stratford; Fullbacks—McCorkle
and Lenoir. The starting lineup
for the scrap Saturday will prob­ably
be selected from the list a-bove.
Taking everything into con­sideration,
short time practice has
gone on, devotion of most of the
time to the varsity, etc.
Prospects Of Tank
Team Are Bright
Prospects for another top flight
tank team on the Plains are de­finitely
bright. Captain Ray Kier- ,
stead, after the first meeting, on
Tuesday night, reports that the
material looks exceptionally good,
even at this early date. The back­stroke,
breaststroke, and distance
men are especially good. There are
two lettermen returning to the
diving fold, but they are expect­ing
plenty of competition- from
three newcomers to the squad.
Kierstead also announces the
inauguration of a new kind of
campus emulation for this semest­er.
Plans are underway for a meet
in which any student i may par­ticipate.
Included.in this new en­terprise
will be such other aqu­atic
sports as water polo, and
basketball.
No varsity meets have been
scheduled yet, however, contests
with Ole Miss, Tulane, L. S. U.,
Kentucky, North Carolina, South
Carolina, and other Southeastern
and Southern Conference foes are
anticipated.

Mr. W. W. Snow, passenger-agent
of the Alanta and. West Point
Railroad, spoke to the pep-au­dience
and advised students of
the departure and arrival times of
trains both in Auburn and Mont­gomery.
Also Mr. Snow explain­ed
that signed student Ticket No.

of the two student specials. Trains
will leave Auburn this afternoon
at 2:45, and will leave Montgomery
on the return trip at 11:30 to­night.
Close on the heels of the Band,
enthusiastic students marched
through the streets as a climax to
last night's super pep rally.
Montgomery city officials ex­pect
the biggest crowd in the his­tory
of Auburn-Birmingham-Sou­thern
grid contests. But Montgom­ery
is well prepared for the mass
student-fan onslaught, and spe­cial
police have been assigned at
strategic points along the parade
route and streets in the nighbor-hood
of Cramton Bowl to insure
adequate handling of pedestrian
and auto traffic. All pre-game in­dications
as to crowds expected
point out that the city of Mont­gomery
will be filled to overflow­ing.

Great Wall Built
For Filming Of
Good Earth
Out of a range of hills Holly­wood
has sculptured a replica
of one of the traditional Seven
Wonders of the World—the Great
Wall of China.
Instead' of reproducing the
famous landmark of history by
building up, motion picture engi­neers
achieved it by carving down
—and the result is a monument
that will stand for ages. The feat
was accomplished for "The Good
Earth," based upon Pearl S.
Buck's novel of Chinese life, and
the Owen Davis-Donald Davis
stage version. Co-starring Paul
Muni and Luise Rainer, the spec­tacular
picture opens Sunday at the
Tiger Theatre.
It is thus that the modern engi­neers
of the films have solved the
problem of the Great Wall of
China, a time-honored puzzle. Like
the pyramids, nobody knows ex­actly
how it was built.
The Great Wall is part of the
vast location for Chinese towns,
villages and farm communities,
fields, gardens and orchards, in one
of filmdom's most spectacular set­tings.
A battery of steam - shovels
carved intb the hills, making per-perpendicular
walls. The battle­ments
on the top of the wall, be­tween
which a roadway runs, were
carved out of the granite boulders
with pneumatic hammers. This
method of construction proved
more practical than transporting
hundreds of tons of building mate­rial.
The soil and stone removed
were used for other construction
on the location, such as the walled
city.

Plans Are Laid
By Debaters
Debate prospects for this year
are bright with possibilities that
this may be the most successful
season Auburn debaters have had
in a long time. A few varsity men
were lost by graduation, but it is
believed that they can be replaced
by several competent men coming
up from the freshmen teams of
last year.
It has already been definitely
decided that Auburn will be rep­resented
at the Southern tourna­ment
to be held in Atlanta this
year,, this being the first time in
several years that a team from
Auburn has entered the contest.
Plans are underway at present to
organize an interfraternity debate
tournament, if possible.
A number of fraternities are al­ready
represented on the roster of
both the freshmen and the var­sity,
and it is hoped that more will
be entered in the hoped-for match.
The varsity and freshmen tourna­ments
will be held as usual. The
Debate Council and all men in­terested
in debate are to meet in
