Miss Homecoming Be Chosen
Tuesday In Special Election
Any Co-Ed Eligible '-.
For Nomination
In Election
One of Auburn's co-eds will
be chosen "Miss Homecoming" by
popular vote of the student body
Tuesday, November 16. The young
lady chosen will be official spon­sor
at all events of the week-end
of the Auburn-Georgia game.
The polls will open at the Main
Gateway at eight o'clock and close
at five. Members of the "A" Club
and Omicron Delta Kappa will
be in charge of the election. Any
co-ed is eligible for the position
of honor. Ballots will carry no
names as each student will be ask­ed
to fill in his or her choice of
"Miss Homecoming." The co-ed
receiving the largest number of
preferences will be elected. There
will be no run-off and the returns
of the Tuesday election will be
final.
On Friday night, November 19,
"Miss Homecoming" will be es­corted
to the ODK pep rally
which takes place on the rat foot­ball
field. After the mass meeting
she will lead the "A" Club dance
at the gymnasium. On Saturday
she will be the official sponsor
at the game in Columbus.
The annual bonfire will be pre­pared
and ignited at the pep rally.
Several speakers will appear on
the program that night. Among
them are Dean Petrie, Bill Ham,
Maurice Bloch, Dr. Rufus Dorsey,
Haygood Patterson, the football
coaches, and several of the players.
The Auburn Knights will play
for the .dance which will follow
the meeting. In past years the
Homecoming dance has been re­garded
as one of the best of the
year.
Charlie Grey Is To
SpeakToY.M.C.A.
Charlie Grey, of Birmingham,
will speak in the Student Hall
Monday night at 7 o'clock, on the
aims and objectives of the Y. M.
C. A. The speech will be open to
the public. He will remain in Au­burn

Hall. The office will be taken
over by the Y. M. C. A. as soon
as Don Johnson, Glomerata pho­tographer,
finishes his work here.
The following is the Y. M. C.
A. program for this semester: Wil­liam
McKee will address Y. M. C.
A. members on Nov. 22 on the
subject "The Y. M. C. A. Program
of Service." He will remain in
Auburn the next day for con­ferences
with Y members. The Y.
M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. will hold
a joint meeting on Dec. 6 and
present a Christmas program. On
Dec. 15 the two organizations will

a new surfaces for the tennis
courts and is working on the traf­fic
problem. They plan to an­nounce
the names of the Faculty
Advisory Committee and of the
friendship Council sometime this
.rionth.
NOTICE
Keys Interfraternity will initi­ate
its new members Friday night,
Nov. 12, 7 p. m. from the Lambda

Draughon, Ingram
Attend Regional
Conference
Executive Secretary Draughon
and W. T. Ingram, Accountant,
represented Alabama Polytechnic
Institute at a regional conference
of the Association of American
Colleges held Nov. 3 and 4 in
Birmingham.
Subjects taken up by speakers
at the conference included "The
Liberal Arts College and the Com­munity,"
"Higher Education and
Government," "Academic Freedom
and Tenure," "Social Security
From the College's Point of View"
and "Principles of College and
University Business Administra­tion."
- Treasurer F. L. Jackson of Da­vidson
College, representing the
Financial Advisory Service of the
American Council of Education,
spoke on "Principles of College
and University Business Admin­istration,"
explaining the uniform
accounting system that universi­ties
are being urged to adopt. Re­ports
of institutions using this
system are then easily comparable.
Engineer To Give
Lecture Here
A demonstration-lecture on nine
electrical phenomena which, after
research have been adapted to
practical use will be given here
by Dr. Phillips Thomas, research
engineer with Westinghouse Elec­tric
and Manufacturing Co., on
Wednesday evening at 7 .p. m. in
Langdon Hall.
The lecture is sponsored by the
Auburn student branch of the
American Institute of Electrical
Engineers. Prof. W. W. Hill, of the
engineering faculty, stated that
all students, townspeople, and fac­ulty
were invited.
The exhibit includes equipment
which performs a wide variety
of feats, including the'removing of
particles from air electrostatically,
which provides air almost 100 per
cent pure and thereby points the
way to relief from bronchial ail­ments;
a stroboscope which can
stop motion and apparently make
a stream of water run backwards
in a faucet and which is useful
in the examinattion of rapidly
rotating parts of machinery.
Also to be demonstrated will
be a breath relay which permits
the user to literally "blow" out
electric lights because of the sen­sitivity
of a grid-glow tube; and
an infra-red ray, invisible to hu­man
eyes yet which will trap
burglars. Other facinating exhibits
will demonstrate the continuing
progress of electrical development
which paves the way for future
achievements of industry.
Dr. Thomas graduated at Ohio
State in 1904, afterward spending
two years in the electrical testing
department of the Western Elec­tric
Company. For the next five
years he was an instructor in
electrical engineering at Prince­ton
University where he was a-warded
the doctor of philosophy
degree in 1911. Since that time
he has been with Westinghouse.
Art Professor Delivers
Address At LaFayette
LaFayette — Prof. Alfred E.
James of the applied art depart­ment
at the Alabama Polytechnic
Institute, delivered a lecture on
art appreciation here Thursday
afternoon at the High School be­fore
an audience of 300 under the
auspices of the LaFayette Study
Club of which Mrs. Will O. Walton
is president.
Following the lecture the meet­ing
was turned into an open fo­rum
discussion during which Pro­fessor
James gave a brief criticism
and explanation of the pieces of
art on exhibition at the high
school.
Musical part of the art' pro­gram
was rendered by a group of
the LaFayette High School faculty.
Depicting Scenes Of The Tiger Invasion Of B'ham
Grouped and individually, they took Birmingham last Saturday at the Auburn-Tennessee game.
At the top left is the Tiger football team's captain, Les Antley. And at the top left is Joe Haynes.
Both are featured in characteristic poses that exemplified their prowess on the field. Cnetered in
the top row is Sara Smith, the co-ed who was elected Miss Auburn in a recent campus wide election.
Below at the left are two of the Tiger aggregation receiving the welcome kiss from their mothers.
They are L. E. Foster, Jr., and John Davis, Jr., and their mothers respectively. Then in the lower
right are four of the Tiger mainstays, Oscar Buford, end; Dutch Heath, fullback; Capt. Les Antley,
center; and Bo Russell, tackle, all going for pep-up ride.
Boxing Team Will
Have Meet Soon
With the boxing team entering
upon its third week of training,
the men are shaping up rather
well. Most of the sessions during
the past week have been devoted
to work with the leather mittens,
and the pugilists have progressed
far along this line.
However, a definite lack of in­terest
is evident because of the
lack of adequate facilities with
which to work. Although the team
started out this season with more
than thirty-five candidates on
hand, the number now reaches
only ten. Most of this has been
-due to lack of proper equipment
and atmosphere. At present, the
leather pushers are working out
in the Alumni Gymnasium on the
sidelines of the basketball court
with no aids such as punching
bags, heavy bags, weights, or ring.
Sam Dorfman, student coach, has
been attempting to remedy the ad­verse
conditions confronting the
team in order that they may be
in shape for the forthcoming meet
with an Atlanta outfit during the
early part of December. It is ex­pected
that a ring will be avail­able
for the team in the near fu­ture
and plans are being formulat­ed
for the practice sessions to
take place in a room especially
reserved for the exclusive use of
the boxing team.
Dorfman again urges that all
experienced boxers of all weights
turn out for practice at 4 o'clock
each afternoon. He is especially
desirous of securing men under
135 pounds and over 185.
Showalter Is Principal
Speaker At A. E. A.
Mrs. B. R. Showalter, president
of the Alabama Congress of Pa­rents
and Teachers, was one of the
principal speakers at the district
meeting of Alabama Education
Association and the P. T. A. held
Saturday at Troy.
Prof. E. B. Smith, of the Auburn
physical education department, al­so
attended the meeting and di­rected
the recreational period.
Mrs. Showalter will speak at a
similar meeting to be held next
Saturday at Monroeville.
// Miss Auburn/ /
By JOAN METZGER
"I can't believe it's me," Miss
Auburn said when I approached
her for the first interview since
her election to the coveted title
position.
Sara Smith modestly protested
at my inquiries. "There's nothing
to tell about me—I'm just very
happy at the . honor my friends
have bestowed upon me."
Whether she believes there's
anything to tell or not, the leading
papers of the state have been fea­turing
the likeness of Miss Au­burn's
brunete beauty with the
factual information that she is
from Union Springs and a first
year student in Science and Lit­erature.
It is a slight misconception to
think* of Sara as a freshman, for
she has been attending Auburn
two years as a part-time student.
"College should have a person's
undivided attention" was her ref­erence
to the fact that working
had prevented her from taking full"
time classes. She thinks unless its
absolutely necessary, working and
attending school is too big a drain
on a person's health and energy.
When questioned why she liked
Auburn, she retorted compactly,
"Here we are a primary, not a
secondary group. I like knowing
all the students and having face
to face contacts with them."
She wears her laurels with
charming reserve. There's nothing
high-hat about Miss Auburn. Con­fronted
by problems similar to
those of all students she exclaim­ed
with spirit. "The worst thing
in my life is advanced algebra."
Her hobby, she confessed, is learn­ing
new words. This chic little
person also professed a weakness
for blue evening dresses.
Her democratic spirit is evi­denced
by the fact that she_re-sides
in Smith Hall and displays
an interest in the increasing co-ed
enrollment and their participation
in extra-curricular activities.
Her sincere personality endears
her to those whose pleasure it is
to know her intimately. As more
students become acquainted with
her they will be justly proud that
Sara Smith is Miss Auburn.
Austria entertained an unusual
number of tourists this year.

Patrick Addresses
Crowd At Langdon
Hall Yesterday
Congressman Luther Patrick, of
Birmingham, told Auburn students
yesterday morning that the philo­sophy
of American life and gov­ernment
today had evolved from
a "root hog or die poor" policy
to that of "live and help live" as
characterized by recent national
legislation.
Until recent years most of our
laws have been principally con­cerned
with a "shall not" element,
whereas today they are devoted
largely to ways and means of aid­ing
millions of Americans toward
a more abundant life, said Mr.
Patrick in delivering the annual
Armistice Day address in Lang­don
Hall.
The review of R. O. T. C. cadets
on Bullard Field scheduled at 10
a. m. was canceled because of
heavy rains Wednesday evening
and Thursday morning. Presiding
at the program was Prof. John
C. McKinnon, commander of the
local post of the American Legion,
which cooperated with the college
in bringing Congressman Patrick
to Auburn for the address. In in­troducing
Mr. Patrick to the ca­pacity
audience of 600 cadets, Dr.
L. N. Duncan, Auburn president,
referred to Mr. Patrick as a suc­cessful
lawyer, distinguished sol­dier,
and a young representative
who is rapidly becoming a Con­gressional
leader. The invocation
and benediction was delivered by
the Rev. William Byrd Lee, local
Episcopal rector.
Before beginning his address,
Mr. Patrick paid high compliment
to W: A. (Bill) Young, 1925 Au­burn
graduate who has served as
his secretary since he assumed his
duties in Washington in January
of this year.

Tigers Meet Strongest
Rival In Louisiana
Tomorrow
The Auburn Tigers, who are
knocking at the door that opens
to the Southeastern Conference
football throne, will come up a-gainst
their toughest foe of the
season when* they tangle with
the Louisiana State powerhouse in
Baton Rouge tomorrow. This grid
spectacle will be one of the lead­ing
attractions in the country and
probably will be witnessed by
some 30,000 fans..
Upset only once this season, the
Plainsmen will carry a fine record
into action against the powerful
Bayou Bengals, S. E. C. champion
the last two years. Auburn stands
in second place in the conference,
with only a scoreless tie, Tulane,.
marring their record.
Auburn will enter the game as
the underdog against L. S. U, who
will seek its sixth straight victory
in the series, but the game is ex-.
pected to be a hard-fought con­test
throughout. Auburn probably
played the best football played by
a Southeastern Conference club
this season in trouncing the Vols
and handed them their second
worst trimming in 10 campaigns
under Major Bob Newland.
Coming out of the Tennessee
fracas with only the usual game
knocks, the Tigers are again slated
to be in good physical shape for
L. S. U. Also, they will have Speck
Kelly, who is again in running
order after resting through the
Vol conflict. Kelly is an ace left
halfback and starred against both
State and Tech, and his presence

in the lineup is expected to aid
Auburn's running attack consid­erably.
'
Auburn is expected to place a
strong outfit on the Held tomor­row
than a year ago. A spirit that
cannot be beaten and superior re­serve
being the primary reasons
why the Tigers are more potent.
Any time the firsts are stale,
Coach Jack Meagher can depend
on the seconds, "Vho are still giv­ing
the regulars a run for their
money.
Two big problems were being
worked out by Skipper Meagher
in practice this week in prepa­ration
for the L. S. U. tilt. The
problems were defense against L.
S. U.'s running game and an at­tack
via the air. Last year the
Plainsmen were smothered by a
ground attack which had more
momentum than they could cope
with.
Auburn's aerial maneuvers this
season have not been up to par
but against Tennessee last week
the team showed improvement in
handling the ball. Some valuable
yardage was gained through pass­ing,
with George Kenmore and
Jimmie Fenton doing most of the
tossing. With the addition of Billy
Hitchcock and Speck Kelly, the
Tigers will have four good passers.
Lines have passed on in the
south and great ones will appear
in the future, but it is believed
Auburn's starting forewall of Har­rison
and Whatley at ends; Rus­sell
and Holman, tackles; Sivell
and Howell, guards; and Capt.
Antley at center, that opened wide
holes in the Vols' front trenches
will go down as one of the leading
seven-man fronts of ail-time.
These linesmen were given able
assistance from Burford and Mc-
Kissick, ends; Wolff and Nichols,
tackles; Gillam, Burns, and Thorpe
guards, and Morgan, center. These
reserves played as much as the
regulars and their presence failed
to weaken the Tigers.
In tests at Harvard it was found
that ultra-violet rays purify, the
air and kill germs.
Pipe smoking is rapidly increas­ing
in England.

Armistice Day Attitude
Observing of another Armistice
Day serves to remind one of the regular
Armistice Day complexes, which are, in
fact, those complexes which govern the
course of a nation and the inter-relations
of nations. It carries also in its observance
an expression of duty, of duty born out
of a complex undernourished.
That which we are supposed to do is to
make an expression, one indicative of our
selves and the governing temperaments.
They result in displayals of superiority or
inferiority complexes or a fusion of the
two. Anyway we call it paying respect to
those who have died in the service of our
country while it was warring with another
or to pay respect to an ideal which is born
out of war or its aftermath. That ideal is
Peace in Prosperity.
When we bow our heads during the pro­ceedings
of the Armistice Day ceremonies
our inferiority complexes are paying tri-buteto
an existing condition. It is in rever­ence
to something which we want to attain
in the dim futurity. It is a state of being
which is so elusive that we dare not breath
while seeking it. lest it be scared away
before it can be grasped. It is something
which can not be reached and possessed
out in the broad daylight before the lust­ful
stare of other interested parties. Ex­actly,
it is an ideal which lies in that com­munity
publicized as the perfect state. That
is one reason why we bow our heads!
And then we bow our heads another time
This is not in reverence to those who
died in the past conflicts but rather in
sympathy for those who were the unfort­unate
victims of circumstances, f rom which
all are shrinking with all their being. It
is the deep-felt sympathy of one who has
lost a creation of himself, a part of him­self.
And more than that, it is a confront­ing
with a possible situation for one's
self, and a more complete realization and
sympathy with one's own weakness.
This time the head bows deeper with a
few furtive glances about the vicinity.
Then there is the flashy displayal of the
superiority complex which is a mixture of
psuedo happiness and egotism. We all lift
our heads high and act with the most
profound affection when the band and
artillery go by on parade. There is some­thing
behind the blare of the music and
the steel of the fighting implements which
gives us courage for expression for the
moment. We want to be heard. We want it
to be noticed just how much noise we can
make.
If the making of all our big noise results
in the disturbing of some neighbor, who
may, by the way, want to be heard also,
the question must be settled. Both must
arise and make a big noise together until
one is snuffed out or until the two must
agree to withdraw for the time being, each
going into"a huddle with its noise makers,
and prepare for a bigger big noise to ofi>
set that of the neighbor. Thusly are Armis­tice
Days prepared.
So it all reverts to Auburn and a part
of its constituents. We must have a R. O.
T. C. Corps, especially if we hope to be
prepared to make a big noise. We must
prepare for Armistice Days. We must give
vent to our inferiority and superiority com­plexes,
which were especially designed for
exercising on such occasions.
New Course Needed
Whether surprising or not, the fact ex­ists
that the vocabulary of the average
college student is far below the standard
of a man of higher education. Spelling,
choice of words, and doubtful meaning of
words in student writing and speech give
tangible evidence of this fact. There is def­inite
room for improvement and measures
should be devised to bring about such a
change.
The average college student has a dis­taste
for English and will not willingly
make an extensive study of it. With his
completion of the required work he puts
it in the background and more or less for­gets
it. He will not on his own initiative
take up any further study of the language
he must use so much in life.
The required English courses do not
especially stress vocabulary work. They
do not even stress enough rhetoric and
literature to give the student more than a
smattering of knowledge. A student, drill­ed
in the same thing for sixteen years in'
school, invaribly is less informed about his
language than a foreigner who has studied
it for a short time abroad.
With more work in grammar should
come a definite drive toward increasing
the student's vocabulary. A course dealing
in nothing but word study should be in­stituted
in every college where such a
course does not exist. It should be the pre­requisite
to graduation and the attainment
of a degree that marks the student as a well
educated man. Such a course would facil­itate
speech as well as writing. Students
could then say what they mean and be
sure that they mean what they are say­ing.
Staff Gets Training
Wednesday the Plainsman was in the
charge of the staff with no help from the
editors. Such action was taken in an effort
to teach those members of the staff the
mechanics of editing the paper. In the
future issues, several will be taken over
by juniors who intend to run for editor
next spring. The last issue was edited by
Edwin Godbold.
It has been the practice for many years
for juniors to take over full responsibility
for one issue of the paper, but it is be­lieved
by the present editors that the as­pirants
for the post next year will be
better qualified if they take over more of
the work. It will then be the policy this
year for them to hav eas much actual edit­ing
to do as is practical.
Staff members get no financial remun­eration
and it is the belief of the editors
that the training they have received in the
past has not been enough return for their
labor. In view of that fact, the editors have
adopted a policy of teaching and helping
the staff members whenever such is need­ed.
In this way it is hoped that they will
reap benefits for the time they spend in
working without pay.
Cut Out Roughness
It is rather disconcerting to observe
how many injuries have resulted from the
playing of interfraternity touch football
during the past few weeks. College author­ities
have called it to the attention of those
who are in charge of the administering of
this tournament. And it is an obvious fact
that unless some definite change takes
place, the playing of these games will have
to be discontinued.
The group in the Interfraternity Coun­cil
who is in charge of these activities have
passed regulation designed to increase the
safety of the players. If the, tournaments
are expected to continue the players will
have to adhere to these regulations and
be careful that less injuries are made. In
the hope that such competition may be
continued, strict attention must needs be
given to these measures.
Buddy Debunks Armistice Whoopee News and Views
It was Armistice Day and uniformed troops
were pouring down the streets. The crowd
gathered on the curb was yelling and waving
flags. A man leaning on a cane turned as
though he could stand it no longer and shouted
at the crowd.
"Armistice Day, huh; Well, what th' hell are
all you people yelling about? You didn't go
over there. It ain't nothing to you but a big
holiday. I guess you'll just go on yelling year
after year. Yeah! Well, you oughta be pray­ing,
that's what. It's me what oughta be yell­ing
my head off. Hear me? it's me what
oughta be yelling my fool head off. Yeah, me.
I was there,-wasn't I?"
"Sure, I was there in '18. Bight on the front
line, rifle in hand looking for a man I'd never
seen before, trying to kill him before he got
me. Lord only knows how I got that far along
in the game. I know a lotta fellas, buddies
o'mine, who got themselves knocked off be­fore
they even knew what it was all about."
"They used to come to me on the night be­fore
a drive, tears in their eyes sometimes,
and hand me letters, little trinkets, bits of
sentimental junk to send to their mothers or
sweeties if they didn't come through on the -
drive. I don't know why they thought I'd
come through. Because I was an orphan, may­be.
Anyway, I always managed to get by
somehow and some of the boys would come
back for their trinkets, usually not many
of them, though."
"We would stand there tense, hungry, half
frozen in the muck and slime waiting for a
whistle blast to send us out into that inferno
of hell. The whistle! We would thrust our
tired bodies over the top and drive straight
into the merciless hail of the enemies bul­lets.
Half crazed we would run on, stumbling
over corpses half blown away by grenades,
seeing the men beside fall down coughing
blood, deafened by "the blast of guns and the
anguished cries of the wounded, until finally
the enemy trench was reached."
"Down into the trench we would plunge,
fighting like wild things, clawing, kicking,
trying to tear off another's mask so the gas
would start that deadly cough, stabbing hard
bodies with our bayonets, clubbing bloody
heads with our rifle butts, doing anything to
kill. Anything to kill a man we had never seen
before, a human being! At last the big guns
would let up the barrage. And you think there
must have been an awful quiet?"
"It's just now when the real hell would
begin. Everywhere we hear the moans and
cries of the wounded and dying out there in
the dark, crying for help, for water, crying
out from pain. And we-would crouch there
in the muck, waiting, watching, hearing every
cry with a stab of pain in our hearts, doing
nothing but slowly going mad. Mad, do-you
hear? Suddenly someone who could not stand
it any longer would rush out into no-man's
land to rescue his buddy. There would come
the crack of a sniper's gun, a groan, perhaps
a little cry, and a momentary silence, then
it all would'begin over again. Gradually the
cries became weaker and finally are heard
no more. Morning comes."
"It's November 10, only six more days un­til
our relief comes, but nobody knows wheth­er
he will last until then or not. A day and
night pass with only an occasional pot-shot
at heads showing above the parapet. Morning
comes. More waiting for the whistle. But no
blast comes from the whistle. Word is pass­ed
along that the armistice has been signed
and we do not have to kill each other any
more. At first we don't believe it, then we
yell and hug each other.''
"We are happy because we can be human
beings again, because we can quit killing, be­cause
we can go home in peace. Peace, do you
hear? Sure, we yell, but you who stayed be­hind
should pray. Pray that there will never
be another war to turn men into beasts fight­ing
to kill each other. To kill! Pray, don't yell.
Steppe's Talk About The Town
Comes another day, another column due,
and woe is us.—There being nothing blanker
than a page of blank copy paper, and we are
supposed to do something about it. Maybe
a good method would be to just close our
eyes and hit the keys and then see what hap­pens.
The only fault being that our friend the
linotyper would get ga-ga trying to read
it and that would never do on account of we
should not have anyone to spell our words
for us when we really had something to
write, seldom as that may be.
By the morning paper we see that our
friend Mr. Stuart X. expects our Tigers into
a defeat come Saturday afternoon, which is
good news if he is only as wrong as he usual­ly
is. Only being an expert he is never wrong.
Being an expert gives you the right to call
anything an upset when your prognostications
come out in reverse. That must be a sublime
life—one that we wouldn't know about be­cause
even our faithful six readers won't
admit that we are ever right about anything.
Some day we might slip up and if so—even
we would be surprised.
Inconvenient—being the opening of the new
jook joint on a week-day night. A flagarant
violation of custom—custom being that which
makes bath night also the night for pitching
benders of one sort or another. Of course
with a good reason, any other night will do
but going to classes the next day with that
let-down feeling is not one's idea of a pink
tea party, that is unless you inbibe naught but
tea—which may or may not be an idea.
Gullible—being the number of people who
really swallowed the story that bur head
grafters had been run off. The comments on
the issue put out by Godbold might indicate
that such would be a good course, but then,
Godbold would have the powers of office, and
giving a politician—even an aspiring one—the
tast of power is like giving a shine a taste of
back country corn—there being no telling to
what lengths either will go. There being no
escape from death, taxes or politicians we
have no choice but to grin and bear it.
We would like to have a nickle for every
prayer said by all but Seniors that it would
rain come Thursday morning. The Seniors
being excluded because a rain would rob
them of their chance to shine—and having
but a definite number of chances they would
hate to miss even one chance to show off all
their buttons—and bellow at the rest of
Bagby's so-called cannon fodder.
The letter from the Chinese student in the
last issue deserves considerable thought.
Theirs is indeed a sorry plight and while most
of us can hardly imagine the gravity of the
situation, and would be prone to pass it over
if we could comprehend it, even though they
belong to a remote and alien race they are
deserving of consideration as human beings
and any amount of help no matter how small
would be of great aid to them at the present
time.
Time passes Snd by some quirk or other
we arrive at the end of this piece. The paper
though covered with type is almost as blank
as it was to begin with. But think not that
we are apologizing for if you feel that your
time has been wasted you will have at least
learned not to read this the next time it
comes out. Selah.
PLAINSMAN FORUM - Voice of the Students
Editor of the Plainsman
Dear Sir:
I would like to remind some of the women
students that there is a tea hour at Smith
Hall, and every girl should be there—not on­ly
be there but bring your friends! For the
information of the few who have not seen the
many Plainsman announcements concerning
them, I would like to say, they are held every
Wednesday afternoon at Smith Hall from
four to five, and are sponsored by the various
women's organizations. And'a good time is
had by all!
This Wednesday afternoon tea hour at
Smith Hall is being very well attended this
year. At four o'clock in the afternoon the
girls begin to drift in in groups of twos, threes
or more, and by five a great percentage of
the women students have been served tea.
The interesting thing about these tea hours
v
is the fact that the students who frequent
hem, come attired just as they are, directly
from a lab' or late afternoon class. Apparently
no attempt is made to "Dress Up," which is
just as it should be—it is in keeping with the
good old Auburn spirit of informality and
common sense.
Miss Dobbs, dean of women, explained that
these teas correspond to the traditional Eng­lish
tea hour, an 'open house* affair with no
attempt at formality in any sense.
Women students who have been missing
these teas, either due to not knowing about
them or because of lack of interest, are really
missing something! They should make a note
on their weekly schedule to attend at least one
and see for themselves just how enjoyable
they are.
See you at the tea party!
Sincerely yours,
Tessie Tea Hound

THIS TIME: THE AGGRESSIVE JA­PANESE;
JAMES A. FARLEY; RAM­SAY
MacDONALD; GEORGE HAIR-STON;
RUMORS
THE AGGRESSIVE JAPANESE have
gained an even stronger foothold on China
by taking over all of Shanghai except one
small section. The Chinese worces withdrew
to take up new positions defending China's
capital, Nanking, which is the new Japa­nese
objective. In North China the Japs seem
to be meeting little resistance. Victory for
the Japanese can only be a matter of time,
if no other nations intervene.
The average American is inclined to take
China's side in the war, denouncing Japan
in assorted terms. Yet a brief survey of
American history reveals many incidents in
which the United States was equally if not
more imperialistic and domineering than Ja­pan
in the present situation. One must ad­mire
the Chinese for their game fight, but
also one must appreciate Japan's difficulties
which force her to expand whether she es­pecially
wishes to or not.
JAMES A. FARLEY, one time czar of the
Democratic Party, has apparently joined the
ranks of the has-beens as far as the Roose­velt
dministration is concerned. The nation's
first premediation of a break between Roose­velt
Administration is concerned. The nation's
headed politician was kept in ignorance of
Black's appointment to the Supreme Court
until the story appeared in the newspapers.
One thing led to another until Farley de­cided
that he should step down and become
an official of the Pierce-Arrow Motor Com-
' pany.
Then to add insult to injury, when Farley
supported defeated candidate Mahoney in
the election for mayor of New York, Roose­velt
made vacillating gestures in the di­rection
of LaGuardia, the other candidate.
Maybe all the facts are not known, but
Roosevelt's treatment of his aide certainly
gives the appearance of not being exaactly
fair. It was Farley who engineered Roose­velt's
nomination in 1932; it was Farley's po­litical
intuition and genius for organization
which guided the Democratic campaigns of
1932 and 1936; then for reasons unknown
Roosevelt stabs his friend and advisor in the
back.
All of which brings to mind the story that
Roosevelt has put so many taxes on the
millionaires that nobody except the Secre­tary
of the Treasury is going to have enough
money to buy one of Farley's Pierce-Arrows.
TUESDAY NIGHT DEATH claimed Ram­say
McDonald, adroit stateman and three-times
prime minister of Great Britain. He
was on the high seas bound for South Amer-ica
when a heart attack snuffed-out his life.
McDonald was one of those comparative
rarities among English statesmen—one who
fought this was up from a low level of so­ciety.
His most notable achievement was his
guidance of the British's government through
the years of depression. He gave up his party
allegiance to form a coalition government.
From 1931 till 1935 he led Britain through
many crises but for all his efforts received
very little praise and every censure.
GEORGE HAIRSTON and his co-workers
deserve credit for their idea of a crack mili­tary
unit for Auburn. The first drill of 102
selected men went over with much more snap
and precision than the usual "Tuesday-Thurs­day
from 11 to 12" affairs. The men are doing
this added work voluntarily, which should
add much to the success of the organization.
With a little more practice the three com­panies,
two of artillery and one of engineers,
will be working like a machine. By all means
the unit should be made a permanent organ­ization
to which it will be an honor to belong.
Other universities have such units; why
shouldn't Auburn have one.
IF THE RUMORS can be believed, some
Auburn student made a prize ass of himself
over the radio on the Saturday of the Au­burn-
Tennessee game. It seems almost im­possible
to believe that an Auburn student,
or any student, could have stood before a
radio microphone and told the gross lies and
exaggerations which the fellow stated. A num­ber
of Auburn students stated that they heard
the broadcast, which was one of those where
an announcer wanders around the town in­terviewing
passers-by, and were rightfully
incensed at the statements made by the boob.
If anyone knows who the fellow was, the
administration of the school should by all
means have a word with the culprit.

Auburn Climbs To
Tenth Place
After the smoke of last week's
battles cleared away the Pitts­burgh
Panthers were found perch-id
on top of the nation's teams in
the Williamson Grid Ratings. Pitt
eplaced California as the leading
leven by virtue of the former's
21 to 6 victory over Notre Dame.
California tumbled from first
place because of the 0 to 0 tie
with Washington, a strong team
with an in-and-out record in the
powerful West Coast conference.
It wag ranked in third place with
a average of 97.2 per cent. Ford-ham
smothered Purdue, 21 to 3,
for an earned rating of second
place.
Auburn climbed back into "the
first ten by virtue of its crushing
20 to 7 defeat of the powerful
Tennessee Vols, being rated in
tenth place. L. S. U. Auburn's op­ponent
tomorrow, is rated in fifth
place.
The following is a list of the
first twenty-five teams ranked: 1.
Pitt, 2. Fordham, 3. California, 4.
Alabama, 5. L. S. U., 6. Tulsa, 7.
Oklahoma, 8. Dartmouth, 9. Rice,
10. Auburn, 11. Duke, 12. Baylor,

Frosh Team Will
Meet Tech Frosh
This Afternoon
The second collegiate football
contest of the year played on
Drake Field finds the Tiger Cubs
of Auburn and the Baby Jackets
of Georgia Tech clashing at 2:00
Friday. In their only other ap­pearance
before students and local
fans this year, the Frosh lost to
Birmingham-Southern 13- to 12
earlier in the season.
Thus far the' Freshmen have
failed to break into the win col­umn.
In addition to the Southern
loss, they were also handed a set­back
by the Baby Gators of Flo­rida.
The game was played in
Selma and the count was 13 to 2.
These are the first losses to a
freshman team under Coach Jor­dan.
A potential varsity star on the
Rat squad is Dick McGowen, left
half. In addition to being a power­ful
plunger, this Walker County
product can pass and kick with the
best. Weighing about 180, Mc­Gowen
should be a bulwark on
both offense and defense by the
time he reaches varsity competi­tion.
Probable starting lineup for the
Baby Bengals: Ends, Herndon Mc-
Gehee, and Etheridge; Tackles,
Starks and Mills; Guards, "Kid"
Lott and Miller; Center, Ab Chri-etzberg;
Quarterback, McMahan;
Left half, McGowen; Right half,
Stratford or Williford; Fullback,
McCorkle.

Auburn continues to be the sur­prise
and delight of the conference
as S. E. C. competition swings into
its last lap. The Tigers' 20 to 7
victory over a powerful Tennessee
eleven was much more impressive
than any other conference game,
despite Alabama's Frank Merri-well
finish in nosing out Tulane
9 to 6.
In Birmingham last Saturday
some 17.000 fans realized that
the Bengals from the Plains were
not playing over their heads when
they were not dazzled by Tech.
The Tigers outplayed the Vols
much more than the score shows.
Opportunity changed her tac­tics
and knocked at least five
times before the Plainsman scored.
However, it was in the first half
that Auburn showed her superior­ity,
chalking up 2 first downs to
one, and gaining 156 yards to 29.
At the end of the game Auburn
had 19 first downs, Tennessee had
7.
Alabama rallied at the end of
the end of the last quarter to
eke out a 9 to 6 victory over Tu­lane.
The Greenies scored in the
first period, but were unable to
hold the lead. The Tide knotted
the count in the third quarter, and,
with three minutes to play, Sandy
Sanford placekicked a 33 yard
field goal.
The Gators of' Florida scored
a touchdown on Georgia on a
blocked kick in the second period
of their game at Jacksonville. They
clung to this slender margin and
the game ended 6 to 0 in their
favor. Protection for the small lead
wasr supplied by super kicking
from the toe of Capt. "Tiger"
Mayberry. The Bfulldogs never
advanced beyond the Florida 20-
yard line.
After many futile attempts the
golden-clad dazzlers of Tech final­ly
managed to cross the goal line
of Clemson late in the last quart­er.
They might not have scored
then if they had not struck just
when they did. After a drive of
their own late in the game failed
the Clemson boys let up for a
minute. Harry Appleby, who often
runs, but seldom passes, dropped
back and tossed to Konemann. The
Dutchman ambled over and ended
what had all the earmarks of a
0 to 0 tie. The final score was
Tech 7 Clemson 0.
Bob "Twenty Grand" Davis led
the field as Kentucky defeated
South Carolina, 27 to 7. Davis
scored two touchdowns and again
leads the conference in individual
scoring. One of his runs was for
63 yards. Late in the game the
Gamerocks tallied after a march
from their own 35-yard line.
In other conference games L. S.
U. showed tremendous power in
overwhelming Mississippi State
41 to 0, and Vanderbilt smothered
Sewanee with the same score 41
to 0.

Snorts Chatter
By BILL TROUP
L. S. U. Has Almost
Entire New Team
Th«.Auburn Tigers will see some
new faces in the Louisiana ranks
when the two teams meet in Baton
Rouge tomorrow.
The Bayou Bengals were hard
hit by graduation last year, but
the reserves and sophomores who
hold the vacated positions seem to
be just as effective in these berths,
and the team is generally regarded
as being nearly as good as last
year.
The whole line, from end to ned,
is new. Baur and J. Gormley are
on the flank positions formerly
held by All American Gaynell
Tinsley and his running mate,
Dumas. At tackle, two reserves,
Gatto and Friend, are filling the
shoes of Carroll and Strange.
The guard berths are well fort­ified
by Smith and Clark who
came up to fill the places vacated
by Leisk and Baldwin. The all es­sential
pivot post is held down
by Stewart's understudy of last
year. Gormley.
Milner is the only back return­ing
to the starting lineup. Rohm,
Booth and Lamak advanced from
the reserve ranks to carry on in
the places of Crass, May and Mor­ton
respectively.
Coach Bernie Moore says that
his greatest loss from graduation
was Tinsley, but in Kavanaugh,
Coach Moore thinks he has a man
who can at least handle the pass
receiving duties as well as Gay­nell
Tinsley. Kavanaugh needs
some experience, but he is al­ready
playing a fine brand of ball
and has been dealing L. S. U. op­ponents
plenty of misery.
Gormleys splendid performances
at the center position have -made
Louisiana fans nearly forget Stew­art,
who starred there last sea­son.
A new pass combination, Bussey
to Kavanaugh, has been a big
feature of her games this year,
^aiid many scribes hve named
this pair as the best in the con­ference.
Louisiana U. has a heavy, hard-charging
team that has played con­sistently
good ball in beating five
strong elevens this season. Her
Those Auburn Tigers bounced
right back last week, after losing
to Rice the week previous, to
upset the dope and beat Tennes­see
. . . Coach Jack Meagher has
matched his 1935 record—the year
his job was voted as the outstand­ing
in the Southeastern Confer­ence
. . . No coach has achieved
greater possibilities with the ma­terial
and schedule at hand, and
few can come close to i t . . . Some
say that Auburn will be soundly
whipped by L. S. U. tomorrow but
that's what they said before the
Mississippi State, Tech and Ten­nessee
games . . . Jack Pingel
Michigan State's star punter, has
averaged a shade better than 50
yards on his kick's this season . . .
Judd Timm, former Illinois star,
is given only 45 minutes a day
to coach .the Pennsylvania Mil­itary
college football team . . .
Jack Chevigny, former coach at
the University of Texas, is super­vising
the drilling of an oil well
near Taylorville, 111., for a Texas
oil company . . . Dan Topping,
owner of the Brooklyn Dodgers,
offered each member of the squad
a $100 bonus if they would beat
the Detroit Lions . . . Defeat saved
Topping $2,900 . . . Fred Vanzo,
Northwestern's husky quarterback,
is a talented harmonica player . . .
Back field players at Mississippi
and Duke are trying.out low cut
football shoes this season . . .
Southern California has an end,
Ed Coleman, who is used only
to kick off and then retires from
the game . . . Jimmy Hitchcock,
backfield coach at Auburn and
former All-Aemrica halfback,
was purchased from the New York
Yankees by the Chattanooga Look­outs
the other day . . . When Army
plays Navy this year Coach Har­rison
of Kankakee, 111., will have
to observe a policy of strict neu­trality
. . . Allen Bergner, Navy
left tackle, and Harry Stella, Army
right tackle, played on the same
team at Kankakee . . . There has
already been a sellout of the 102,-
291 seats available for the game . .
Howard Jones of Southern Cali­fornia,
whose football team has
played both elevens, says Californ­ia,
by the way, is the only team
that has whipped U. S. C. four
times in a row since Jones be­came
the Trojan's gridiron leader
. . . . The Auburn team of this
year has team speed and lots of
it and its line is the fastest line
in Dixie . . .-
HITCHCOCK TO PLAY

Jimmie Hitchcock, assistant
coach of the Auburn Tigers, will
play professional baseball with
the Chattanooga Lookouts next
season. Announcement of the pur­chase
of his contract was announc­ed

Morgan Is Power
Behind Scenes
In Coaching
Call him what you will . . . the
unmentioned man, the power be­hind
the throne or the unseen dy­namo.
Coach Dell Morgan de­serves
a world of credit for his
gigantic contribution towards the
success of those great Auburn
football teams.
He is mentioned occasionally
when fans are discussing Au­burn's
successful football cam­paigns,
but his name should be the
theme of such discussions. His
name should be synonymous with
Auburn football success.
Head Coach Jack Meagher co­ordinates
the various departments
into one strong unit, but as the
old saying goes, "the chain is just
as strong as its weakest link," the
unit is just as strong as its weak­est
department.
The various departments are
under the charge of assistant
coaches, who take their respective
candidates off to a corner of the
field and drill them. Consequent­ly,
the appearance of these men
in games largely reflects the abili­ty
of the specializing coach.
"Skipper" Morgan's department
is the line, and the splendid per­formance
of this group every Sat­urday
may be attributed to him
urday to a large extent may be at­tributed
to him. Handling the
line is a big assignment, but the
"Skipper" is just the big man to
put it over, and he has . . . wond­erfully
well.
By dressing like the rest of 'em'
and really roughing it with the
players, he has inspired the con­fidence
and admiration of every
man out for football, and his lines­men
will fight their hearts out
for "Coach Dell."
He knows all the tricks of the
game and can pass his knowledge
on to others. His personality and
genial nature have won him a host
of friends, on and off the football
field. Coach Morgan is one of the
most capable and best liked
coaches Auburn has ever had.
backs have shown themselves to be
among the best in the conference,
and the authorities predict a field
day for spectacular backfield play
when these men oppose Auburn's
crack squadron.

High School Will
Meet Dadeville
Lee County High will celebrate
Homecoming Day Saturday when
the strong Dadeville eleven will
be encountered on Drake Field at
2 o'clock. Many features have been
arranged for the day, and the high
spot of the program will be a pa­rade
headed by Auburn High's
crack band. Miss Mary Ella Fun-chess,
high stepping drum major,
will lead the band through the
business section of town just be­fore
the game.
Undefeated in Alabama compe­tition,
Auburn will have her hands
full with the Tallapoosa County
High team. Winning six out of
seven starts this season, the lo­cals
have made a great record
against top-notch competition, but
will enter the game the underdogs
Saturday.
Injuries received in a hard game
with Roanoke last week will ham­per
the Baby Tigers considerably.
Harold Smyer, Jim Flanagan, and
Herbert Morgan will see very lit­tle
action, and the team will be
weakened by the loss. Smyer, an
end, and Flanagan, a halfback,
were hurt in the last week's bat­tle
that saw Auburn run up 227
yards and 15 first downs to win
13 to 12 in the closest game of
the season. Morgan's appendix
threw him for a loss just before
the game, and he will likely be
out for the remainder of the sea­son.
The local high school has de­feated
Troy, Five Points, Tuske-gee,
Langdale, Opelika, and Roan­oke.
Columbus High won 18 to 13
in a wild game that found the lo­cals
asleep in the first half when
the Blue Devils ran up their 18
points and all but one first down
to win. Auburn has piled up 77
first downs in the seven games for
an average of 11 a game. Running
up 96 points to their opponent's
37, the Baby Tigers have used
their razzle-dazzle effectively.
The Dadeville game will be the
first time Auburn has played at
home in seven weks, and will be
the next to the last game of the
season. The undefeated Union
Springs team will be encountered
there the following Friday.

Hears Irvine
"The sciences of psychology and
sociology must be combined as a
dual foundation for the science
of education," stated Dr. Paul Ir­vine
in an education faculty con­ference
last night.
The conference was the second
of a series devoted to defining the
teacher education program at Au­burn.
Dr. Irvine's paper dealt with
the place of educational sociology
in the training of teachers.
"The laws of learning are the
same whether one is seeking to
train a good citizen or a gangster,"
he said. "The study of social pur­poses
and processes must provide
the direction of our education.
Schools must -accept the responsi­bility
of training the rising gen­eration
to build a better society.
Dr. Irvine's talk was followed
by a critical discussion by school
of education faculty members un­der
the direction of Dean Zebulon
Judd. Next month, another phase
of teacher training will be pre­sented.
