AUBURN, ALABAMA, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1937. NUMBER 24
Annual Freshman Cake Race To
Be Held Wednesday Afternoon
Numeral And
25 Cakes To
Be Awarded
Next Wednesday afternoon, Dec.
8 at 3:30, the entire male freshman
class will start the annual ODK
cake race by leaving the Rat
Field for a three mile run through
Auburn. All freshman classes will
be excused at 3:00 and the men
will form on the field in R. O. T.
C. formation. No excuse will be
accepted for absence other than
one signed by the college physi­cian.
Members of ODK, Spiked
Shoe and the "A" Club will be
stationed along the route to pre­vent
anyone from cutting off. Any
freshman caught in the act of try­ing
to shorten the course will be
apprehended and turned over to
the "A" Club hazing committee.
The winner of the Cake Race
will be presented with his fresh­man
track numeral and a large
cake. Each of the next twenty-four
men will be presented with a
smaller cake. The presentations
will be made by Sara Smith, Jane
Handley, Suzelle Hare, Edith Ce­cil
Carson, Eleanor Wright, Jean
Bailey and Ellene Nearing.
Omicron Delta Kappa, national
leadership fraternity and sponsor
of the event will present a loving
cup to the fraternity which is first
to'place four men in the race.
Interfrat Football
Season To Close
With the end of the Interfra-ternity
Council touch football sea­son
drawing near much specula­tion
is evident concerning the
choice of winners in the two war­ring
leagues. With two games yet
to play, the Lambda Chi's are
leading in the Japanese League,
having a record of eight games
won, no ties or losses, and the dis­tinction
of not having been scored
on in any of their games so far.
However, far from being left too
far behind in the wake of Lambda
Chi's conquests are the SAE's, who
have an enviable record of eight
wins and one loss, having lost to
Lambda Chi, 12 to 0, and the
Theta Chi's, who have won six,
lost one, and tied one game.
Next Sunday afternoon on Drake
Field these lads will clash with
the boys from West Mag. in the
last game in the Japanese league.
Last week the SAE's completed
their schedule with a 13 to 0 win
over Theta Chi, and the PiKA's
took Kappa Sig and ATO for a
well defined spill, the former to
the tune of 15 to 0, the latter 23
to 0.
Over in the Chinese ranks there
is little doubt as to who will play
the Nipponese winners in the two-out
of three play off for the eigh­teen
inch Council trophy. Alpha
Gamma Rho seems to have the sit­uation
well in hand with a record
of seven wins and one tie. Last
week in this league the AGR's beat
Sigma Nu 25 to 0, SPE carried the
Phi Delta Theta's for 6 to 0, and
the Phi's came back last Monday
with an 18 to 0 win over KA.
Seniors In R. O. T. C. Will
Have Change In Uniforms
In Next Drill Periods
The uniforms for seniors in the
Field Artillery unit of R. O. T. C.
Tuesday December 1, will be
blouses and white shirts. This
announcement was released from
the office of Colonel Wallace yes­terday.
The reason for the change of
uniforms, Col. Wallace said, was
that the R. O. T. C. pictures for
the Glomerata will be made at
that time.
Other members in the Field
Artillary unit will wear the regu­lar
uniform, blouses and grey
shirts.
Col. Wjallace also annotmced
I that the pictures of seniors in the
Engineering unit will be made on
Tuesday, December 14, and they
will wear the blouses and white
shirts at that time.
Can the Glomerata!
Forum To Follow
Branscomb Talk
Dr. Louise Branscomb, M. D., of
Birmingham, one of the South's
outstanding women members of
the medical profession, will ad­dress
women students at the Ala­bama
Polytechnic Institute here in
Langdon Hall, Wednesday, Dec. 8,
at 11:00 a. m. Dr. Branscomb's
address is sponsored by Sphinx,
senior honor society for women
students, and Cardinal Key, honor
society.
Following the address, "Medi­cine
as a profession for Women",
the special convocation for wo­men
students will be turned into
an open forum during which stu­dents
will have opportunity to ask
questions concerning the oppor­tunities
fof women in this field.
It is expected that Dr. Branscomb's
address will be of particular in­terest
to students who contem­plate
entering the fields of diet­etics,
nursing, or that of research
laboratory technicians.
Before receiving her Doctor of
Medicine degree at John Hopkins
University, Dr. Branscomb grad­uated
at Huntington College in
Montgomery. Later she did grad­uate
work at Columbia University
and at Oxford University, Eng­land.
For the past several years
she has been practicing medicine
in Birmingham.
Dr. Franscomb was a student at
Huntington while Dr. Rosa Lee
Walston, academic advisor of wo­men
students at Auburn, was at­tending
that institution. "Dr.
Branscomb is a charming and
forceful speaker," said Dr. Wal­ston.
If this, the first of open forum
discussions following an address
by an out-of-town speaker, proves
to be in interesting procedure,
Dr. Walston said that others would
be arranged for women students in
the future.
Ag Seniors Attend
Evening School
Tuesday night, Nov. 30, eleven
members of the senior class en­rolled
in Ag. Ed. and S. L. Chest­nut,
professor of Agricultural Ed­ucation,
went to an evening school
for farmers at Pine Grove. This
"lass was taught by Mr. Bottoms,
professor of vocational agriculture
at Camp Hill.
Home beautification has been
the subject taught at Pine Grove
for the last month. As a project
to be carried along with the sub­ject
the farmers have undertaken
to draw up a plan in which they
are going to landscape the com­munity
church.
Evening schools for farmers are
conducted all over the State for
the purpose of teaching the farm­ers
the new practices in agricul­ture.
Each senior enrolled in Ag.
Ed. is required to attend at least
5 evening schools during each
semester in order that he may
learn the procedure used in teach­ing
these classes.
The seniors that attended the
Pine Grove meeting are as follows:
W. H. Alsobrooks, Pete Beard,
Gordon Black, A. M. Boiling, J.
H. Camp, E. S. Collier, A. A.
Clemons, R. L. Griffin, O. M. John­son,
Henry Lyda, and W. P. Smith-erman.

Kappa Delta Pi on "Problems in
Consumer Education."
Dr. Goff Speaks To
I. R. C. On Travels
Around Globe
Economics Professor Says
Steamer Trip Is Worth A
Year In College
Glimpses of the seven seas came
to International Relations Club
members last night as Dr. John
H. Goff veteran world-traveller
from the economics department,
lectured informally for an hour
on "Vagabond Cruises on Freight
Steamers."
In a talk flavored with anec­dotes
of Calcutta, the Philippines,
and little-known Tarus in Asia
Minor, Dr. Goff heartily endorsed
the idea of vacation vagabonding
around the globe for college stu­dents.
"I feel sure," he said, "that in
educational value a trip around
the world would be worth as
much to any student as a year in
college. I don't know of a more
worth while way to spend money."
The talk discussing ways and
means of making these cruises
opened with a short classification
of available vessels. Passenger
liners with regular routes were
described as "a bit too steep for
the average student's pocket,"
tramp steamers of the old type
as "gradually disappearing from
the seas," and freight liners "as
the ships on which I always pre­fer
to travel."
"I've travelled in fine passenger
liners, medium passenger liners,
and dirty, dingy steamers, and I
prefer the freighters. Though they
have fairly regular routes, they
just seem to drift along. You see
more on them, hear more, and
get more of the touch of the sea."
Prominent lines mentioned as
possibilities were the Aluminum
Line from Mobile to the Guianas,
five and one-half to six weeks
for $200; the Waterman Line from
Mobile to North European ports
and back for $175 to $200; the
Silver Line of Diesel-motored ships
giving around the world trips
for $600; and the Dollar Line from
New York offering completely
first-class service around the
world for $850.
Dr. Goff spoke, of accommoda­tions
on these freighters as "sur­prisingly
good" of the food as
"up to the average Auburn board­ing
house diet", and of the offi­cers
as "well trained, friendly, and
many of them college men."
Especially did he mention Jap­anese
ships as being "very clean
and all right in every way. They
are very courteous and considerate,
in spite of the impression of them
that has been created in the popu­lar
mind by the trouble in the
East.
Dr. Goff, an honorary I. R. C.
member, has been engaged for over
a year as economic adviser to the
T. V. A., and was welcomed last
night "back to the International
Relations . Club and the Auburn
faculty by Lamar White, Club
president.
A short business session follow­ed
Dr. Goff's talk during which
Mrs. Fred S. Barkalow, chairman
of the I. R. C. raffle committee,
made a short report. Drawings at
the student center December 1 re­sulted
in the five dollar book of
tickets to the Tiger Theater going
to Mrs. Wild, proprietor of the
Tiger Cafe.
The raffle cleared around thirty-five
dllars, which will be used to
purchase space in the Glomerata
for a picture of the club.
All-Fraf Team To
Be Selected
Ballots for an all-fraternity
team appear in this issue of the
Plainsman, and each member of
a fraternity team who has a team
entered in the tournament is entitl­ed
to one vote. The results of this
ballot will be given in next Fri­day's
issue of the Plainsman. It
is hoped that the managers of the
different teams will supervise the
completion of these ballots. The
members of the sports staff will
come around to the different fra­ternities
Saturday afternoon to col­lect
the ballots and it is hoped
that you all will cooperate with
them by having your ballots filled
out by that time.—Bill Troup,
Sports Editor.
Plans Mid-Terms
Edward Duncan, chairman of the
Social Committee, from Alexander
City, is now busy with prepara­tions
for the Mid-Term dances.
The orchestra will be announced
on Wednesday before the holidays.
Duncan is a senior in Business
Administration.
Dartmouth Takes A
Close Decision On
Wednesday
Dartmouth University won the
decision over Auburn in a debate
at Langdon Hall last night. The
local team upheld the affirmative
side of the question, "Resolved:
That the National Relations Board
should be empowered to enforce
arbitration in all industrial ques­tions."
Two residents of Auburn, John
and Edwin Godbold, defended the
affirmative, while the winning
negative team was composed of W.
F. Moss, Monte Clair, N. Y., and
William Green, Manchester, N. H.
The Auburn debaters are brothers,
sons of Mrs. Elsie Godbold, West
Glenn Avenue. They formerly re­sided
in Selma.
Judges for the debate were the
Rev. William Byrd Lee, J. W. Wat­son,
and Robert E. Smith. Dr. J.
W. Scott, dean of the School of
Science and Literature, acted as
chairman.
The Auburn debaters defended
the position that the strike, with
the physical danger and bloodshed
which often follows it, is antiquat­ed.
Their argument was 'that just
as disputes between individuals
must be settled in court, so should
labor disputes be settled by arbi­tration.
Their oppenents pointed to the
failure of the compulsory arbitra­tion
board established in Kansas a
number of years ago, and to the
failure of the present Labor Dis­putes
Board to settle industrial
disputes. They also insisted that
the right of labor to strike is writ­ten
into the United States consti-ution,
and is as fundamental a
principle of Democracy as free­dom
of speech or freedom of press.
The question debated last night
was the national collegiate debate
question selected by Pi Kappa Del­ta,
national forensic fraternity. The
Dartmouth team is on a speaking
tour of the South, debating this
same question. From Auburn they
go to Florida.
One of the Dartmouth debaters,
Wiliam Green, was on the Dart­mouth
team last year when his
college won the decision over Yale.
He is a junior, majoring in psy-choloy.
The contest was a clear straight­forward
battle all the way. There
was none of the haggling and bick­ering
which sometimes is present
in a debate. Edwin Godbold, as the
first affirmative speaker, set the
terms upon which the Auburn
team believed the question should
be debated, and Dartmouth ac­cepted
the terms without a quib­ble.
William Green of Dartmouth
gave to the capacity audience an
exhibition of extemporaneous
speaking ability and skillful con­vincingness,
the like of which is
seldom seen on any platform.
The debate was very close with
the decision being entirely in doubt
until it was announced by Dean
Scott, the chairman.
The Dartmouth debaters were
unanimous in their statement that
Auburn was the best team, which
they have met so far on their tour.
Seven Professors
Named Judges Of
Beauty Revue
Parade Of Beauties Will
Begin at 10:15; Seven Will
Be Selected
At 10:15 o'clock Saturday night
during a brief halt in the "A"
Club masquerade ball, Auburn co­eds
will parade before • a com­mittee
of seven judges from the
faculty of the Architecture Depart­ment.
Seven of those girls will
be chosen to appear in the Beauty
Section of the Glomerata.
The group of judges will be
composed of Professors E. Walter
Burkhardt, Louis B. Ambler, Fran­cis
W. Lincoln, A. E. James, S. W.
Little, Roy H. Staples and F. W.
Applebee, it was revealed last
night by Morris Hall, editor of
the student year book.
To avoid confusion and con­serve
time, the women students
who will appear in the revue
were selected at a recent joint
meeting of the editorial and busi­ness
staffs of the annual. All the
contestants have been notified of
their entrance in the contest and
will appear in evening gowns rath­er
than the movie star costumes
the other attendants will wear.
Selections of the winners will
be made on a basis of physical
beauty, grace, charm, poise, per­sonality,
and general appearance.
The seven having the highest score
in a weighted average of all points
will take the top honors in the
contest. They will be announced
in a future issue of the Plainsman.
In addition to the beauty revue,
all attendants at the dance will
take part in the "A" Club movie
star masquerade contest. Appro­priate
prizes will be awarded to
the boy and the girl who are best
dressed to represent some popular
cinemactor.
A variety of special attractions
will be featured at the dance for
the first time in Auburn. The
only change in the program, which
includes the rhumba, the Charles­ton,
whistling, and solos, is in the
rhumba team. Doris Greene and
Tony Cortina will interpret the
dance rather than those formerly
announced.
The Auburn Knights have been
engaged to play for the dance
which will begin at nine o'clock
in the gymnasium. Mary Bourg,
of New Orleans has returned to
her post as torch singer with the
orchestra. The usual script of one
dollar will be charged for the af­fair,
which is expected to be one
of the most successful of the year.
Fenton, Sivell Are
Named On Team
Jimmie Fenton and "Happy"
Sivell were named last night to
posts on the Chesterfield All-
America football team. The se­lection
was made by Eddie Dooley,
former All-America star and
sports commentator. Other players
from the South who took places on
the team were Joe Kilgrow and
Leroy Monsky of the University
of Alabama.
The stellar playing of Fenton
at halfback and Sivell at guard
brought them wide recognition in
spite of the fact that Auburn's
suicide schedule prevented it from
being a championship team. Fen­ton,
for a time, was one of the
leading scorers in the conference.
He converted every kick from
placement for the extra point that
he tried during the season. Sivell,
besides distinguishing himself
with his line play, astonished spec-taters
by scoring in the Mississippi
State and Georgia Tech games.
While the Chesterfield, like
many other All-America teams, is
not the oficial team for the nation,
it is made on a basis of merit and
gives recognition to the outstand­ing
players from the point of view
of Eddie Dooley. He brings sports
news to interested listeners every
Thursday and Saturday over CBS
at five-thirty o'clock. Assisting
him is Paul Douglas.
Fenton and Sivell, Kilgrow and
Monsky were also selected on the
All-Southeastern team by the
members of the Plainsman sports
staff. Bo Russell, who with Lester
Antley received cards of merit
from the All-America Board, was
also selected by the staff writers
for the conference team.

Change Could
Not Be Made
This Year
At a meeting of the Publication
Board last Tuesday, a committee
was appointed to investigate the
advisability of changing the now
semi-weekly Plainsman to a week­ly
publication. When the group has
investigated the matter thorough­ly
the question will be presented
to the student body in order to
determine their attitude. It seem­ed
very likely from the trend of
discussion that it would be found
favorable to make this change.
The main objective brought
up in the discussion in favor of
the change was that the amount
of campus front page news is un-sufficient
to afford two papers
each week. A great deal was com­mented
upon the practices during
the past years of the Plainsman's
doing a more than favorable a-mount
of rewriting upon current
stories. It was argued that a much
more attractive and practical
front page could be presented even
though the edition included six,
or even eight subsidiary pages.
Another point which was dwelt
upon at length was the fact that
the administration of the paper
was no longer an extra-curricular
activity. Members of the board
who were familar with the oper­ation
of the Plainsman reported
that the running of it, especially
in the existing case where two
issues were put out each week,
now constituted a job. The ad­ministration
expressed their opin­ion
that this should not be the
case and that should it be the case,
a different arrangement should be
brought about.
A pertinent point used in the
argument for the change was that
practically all the colleges in the
South had weeklies on their cam­pus,
many of these schools being
larger than the Alabama Poly­technic
Institute. By mass opinion
it seemed to point to the fact
that the having of a semi-weekly
student paper was obsolete.
Still another point that was
brought out was that the fees
assessed students for the main­taining
of the paper would neces­sarily
be reduced to some extent
if this change was brought about,
especially if the paper were to
become a six page weekly.
Of course, it was kept in mind
that an immediate change could
not be made. That is, it could not
be done this year. This being due
to the fact that the paper is un­der
contract requirements which
would not allow such action.
The board was of the opinion
that the matter of student opinion
was certainly a feature which
could by no means be overlooked.
They expressed the opinion that
methods should be used to ac­quaint
the readers with the pro­position.
Mr. Draughon, chairman
of the board, stated that he was
sure sincere consideration would
be given the matter as in action
either for or against would be
done in the favor of the student
body and the publication. He also
asked that members of the Board
discuss it with as many students
as possible. The student members
are Mary Haygood, Billy Hitch­cock,
Bill Stelzenmuller, Danny
York, and the heads of the Plains­man
and the Glomerata. The fac­ulty
members are Ralph Draugh­on,
Kirtley Brown, Travis Ingram
J. R. Rutland, and Joseph Roop.
No action will take place until
the next meeting where the com­mittee
will make a report of its
investigation. Then it will be de­cided
whether any action should
be attempted and if so, what its
course should be.
Major Laird Will Speak At
American Legion Meeting
Major R. M. Laird, of the college

Our Football Players
Our football team of '37 may carry a
creditable epitaph with this closing of the
season's games. Without giving way to
easy sentimentality, one may easily say
that, as always, our's was a good team and
played a darn good season. And we are
proud of them.
It is especially fitting to pay tribute to
those who played their last game of foot­ball
in the meet last Saturday in Jackson­ville.
They were all good men. They wore
their laurels well, after they were won in
honest competition. If this be a matter
wherein school spirit is to receive consid­eration,
it is also a moment to take stock
of the wholehearted efforts which they
have exerted in that direction. But even
more important than the foregoing, though
perhaps not quite so much considered, was
their display of manhood. Because of this
last condition, and there are no restricting
shackles connected with this phase, we can
indeed be proud that they were a part of
our Alma Mater's football team.
It is usually the case that the season af­fords
an opportunity which allows one to
say that Auburn has another "suicide
schedule" to play this year. They also may
add that the Tiger team is somewhat light,
but it would be best that they be watched.
They carry a terrible wallop in their re­sources.
And so on goes Auburn with its
hard games every year. It is entirely pos­sible
that the above might prove to be the
major cause for her not making a better
show than she does. However, this is no al­lusion
that she does not make a good show.
On the contrary, Auburn is considered as
having one of the better teams ki the
states. Still the top ranking is so illusive in
contrast with our good potentialities and
performance.
Anyway, we are proud of our team. Lit­tle
can be said that would really serve to
give a true expression of our sentiments.
Perhaps Auburn students are not so
adolescent after all — they are taking quite
an interest in politics, namely the Hill-
Heflin senatorial race. The general trend
of thought is that neither of them is a fit
representative of our state.
There has been a striking change in the
attitude of Auburn students lately and
they are to be commended on it. More im­provement
along the same line will take
the name of "Cow College" away from the
school.
Interest In Writing
It was announced Wednesday that fifty -
two dollars would be given in prizes in a
literary contest that was being held by
this paper. We think that it is an excellent
opportunity for one who is interested in
creative writing to try out his capacities.
While at the same time attractive awards
are waiting in store for those who prove
their worth.
Some may consider Auburn as a purely
technical school, with no creative writing
talent in its student body. This is false rea­soning,
naturally. A considerable amount
of interest has already been manifested.
Besides that it is a well established fact
. that many of the members of the profes­sional
technical field do varied amounts of
creative writing as an avocation. Many
desire a more or less steady income from
such, though it may not be large in net
volume.
Prizes of much smaller proportions and
a much less number of total prizes were
considered at the outset of the plan. But
upon the reconsideration of those having
to do with the conducting of the contest,
it was decided that it should be conducted
on a much larger scale. It is only natural
that attention is gained in relation to the
attractibility of a thing. So the amount of
prize money was boosted so as to prove a
definite attraction to all writing students
upon the campus.
And even besides the point of aiding the
cause of creative writing alone, there was
the consideration of its natural aids to
education. It has for quite a while been
recognized that too many trade school con­ditions
exist in many of' our higher in­stitutions
of learning. There have been def­inite
efforts made to add to the cultural
advantages which may be obtained by
one while in school, one other than the
bare knowledge which may be gotten con­cerning
the mere ojperation of mathematics
and the natural sciences.. In other words,
the colleges are attempting to help a per­son
find some excuse for living other than
becoming a mere machine in the network
of industrialism. The creative arts are in­volved
mightily in this campaign. Creative
writing is a natural cultural facility.
If the matter is given true worth of con­sideration,
it will prove a powerful facil­ity
to promote such action upon this cam­pus.
It is definitely a personal thing and
should be looked at from that angle. You
and you may not be what you consider
adept in writing. You may think that you
have no talents for such whatsoever. But
it would not take much effort to give it
a try. It is just another case of one having
everything to win and nothing to loose.
. Our Frat Houses
Auburn's fraternity houses still come to
the front—one new house is being built,
an annex added to another, and a land­scape
project being completed on another.
In the last couple of years the counte­nance
of our fraternity houses has chang­ed
very noticably. Kappa Alpha and Pi
Kappa Phi remodeled. Sigma Chi convert­ed
her house into a white colonial, and
several other fraternities did work along
this line.
Now three more improvement projects
are afoot— Sigma Pi has a new house well
under way, and when completed it will be
one of the largest and most beautiful
houses on the campus.
The two Ag bottom fraternities, Theta
Chi and Sigma Nu, are hard at work on two
jobs that will add very materially to the
appearance and accomodations of the
houses. Theta Chi is adding a wing that
will house a large dining room, a house
mother's suite, a bath and five study rooms.
Sigma Nu is having her premises land­scaped.
For about 40 yards all the way
around the house, the land is being ter­raced
and beautified.
Perhaps the whole fraternity house im­provement
program is traceable to the old
thing, competition. Auburn fraternities,
endeavoring to do outdo each other have
done a great deal of work on their houses,
and now we can truthfully say that our
frat houses are among the finest in this
part of the country.
There is a practical joker at the Univer­sity
who writes cards like an Auburn
jokester did. However, we have a sense of
humor and are not holding it against our
sister institution. We even bet our money
on the Tide in the Rose Bowl game.
You are reasonably happy if you're not
worried. Know that and be happy.

Editor
The Auburn Plainsman
Dear Sir:
Regarding the article that appeared in the
Plainsman on Friday, November 19, I wish to
say that you have entirely the wrong idea
towards the freedom of speech clause in our
Constitution. Just because the police would
not allow a Communist to make a certain
speech in Seattle you say that his rights were
taken away from him because of the freedom
of speech clause. If you will stop to think,
this clause has limitations. Any person in any
military service of the United States who
makes any statement against the President,
Congress, or even his commanding officer, is
subject to a military court martial. The court
martial may also direct a penalty of death
before a firing squad. It is also against the
law for anyone not under military rule to make
certain statements on the streets. How could
our Constitution uphold something that would
entirely destroy it? Communism is exactly
opposite the Constitution of the United States
Communism is something that can spread
and grab many people into its rotten bosom

Perhaps you wondered if you read this
column last time (if you didn't read it you
didn't wonder but you wonder what we are
saying now about what you would wonder
if you had read the column and knew from
reading it what to wonder about what you are
reading about wondering now) just where the
name came from. N'est ce pas?
Well, the Plainsman is a newspaper and it
is customary for newspapers to be filled with
print which is the product of the union of
a blank sheet of newsprint (which is not a
newspaper because it has no print on it) and
the type face (which is not a face at all be­cause
it is just a piece of crooked lead) with
ink as a go-between. To make the Plainsman
a newspaper we must speed up the reaction
and that is where we act as a catalyst by
filling up the blank space that would keep
the Plainsman from being a full-fledged news­paper.
Are we boring you?
The space we fill is on the editorial page
and is therefore sixteen ems wide by ad in­finitum
(depending on how many letters the
editor gets) long. Things equal to the same
thing being equal to each other and there be­ing
sixteen type measures across this column
we arrive at the solution of the first part of
the name—Sixteen. An em is one of the six­teen
things that measure the width of these
lines you are reading and since there are six­teen
of them it is plural and we make it plu­ral
thereby precipitating the reaction and ar­riving
by deduction at the second part of the
title—Ems. Q. E. D.
You are lucky to have the foregoing be­cause
now you can fill in the three letter word
meaning measures of type in cross word puz­zles
if work cross word puzzles. You can now
be a Spacer Outer in cross word puzzles like
we are on the editorial page. Gee! We're glad
to get all that straight. Of course, you still
wonder why the column began in the middle
of a word last time and why we use we in
writing this when there is just one of us but
we will explain that later.
We nominate the Midway Tavern for the
doggiest joint in these here parts. Hit's fitten
fer the blimey four-hundred. We ought to
know because we just came from there.
People who build bonfires in dark frat
house living rooms shouldn't do it because it
makes light and nobody but the ministry
sheds light in dark corners.
You don't have to to go to New York, Paris,
or even Bohemia to find Bohemians. We have
them right here in Auburn. They hold meet­ings
almost every Sunday night at their se­cret
rendevous.
And you don't have to go to Chicago or the
picture show to find rackets (we don't mean
noise). Auburn has them, too. We won't tell
you any more because we aren't a stool
pigeon.
We sure hope our best girl is one of the
Glomerata beauties. If you kinda like some
gal, we bet you wish the same thing about
her.
We also lay a wager that you wish you
had been reading Cats and Canaries instead
of this. A whole column nd no names! This
is station XAPI (prpnounced sappy) signing
off at four o'clock in the morning. We use X
because Mexican stations use it and they are
the only ones that stay out this late. Anyway,
we got the space filled again so good night
and thirty.
We may read, and read, and read again,
and still something, new, something to please,
and something to instruct.—Hardis
- Voice of the Students
overnight. It might be true that in England
they let .them speak and then laught at them.
Do you think that all of the people "laugh
it off?" What about the ones that stand there
taking it all in? There are always some that
will. Suppose that someone dear to you was
killed, in a riot caused by the braying of one
of these jackasses? Every red blooded Amer­ican
that knows anything at all about Com­munism
will fight until he draws his last
breath to keep this inhuman, rotten form of
government out of this country.
If this Communist would have been allowed
to make this speech he would have been threa­tening
the life of our whole democracy. The
people of this country will never allow this
form of government to rule in this country
because they just don't have the desire to be
shot down 250 at a time for such things as
gossiping over a clothes line to their neighbor,
or loaning their neighbor a sack of beans. The
police should not have only barred him from
speaking, but should have tarred and feather­ed
him. Personally I had rather stick to the
tokens.

Talk About The Town
by JACK STEPPE
Just to keep our guessing average one hun­dred
per cent wrong we hadn't much more
than finished our piece about the University
not rating a Rose Bowl bid when they up and
gets it. Which at least proves we are consis-.
tent. At any rate we congratulate them and
wish them luck—and for our money they
are going to need it. California was looking
for someone with prestige whom they could
beat and we think they have found one. Even
though we would like to see Bama keep their
Bowl record of never having lost a game out
there. The records favor the Golden Bears
this time, though we will probably be just as
wrong as ever.
We don't quite see eye to eye with Ye Eds
on their piece about studying war in the last
edition. Granted that many of the students
take advanced Rr O. T. C. for the money in­volved
we believe that our noble Eds might
concede that there is a bit of patriotism in­volved.
Few students will admit to the love
of country merely because they believe that
any show of sentiment belies their psuedo
sophistication but there are few who do not
have an interest in the welfare and liberty
of our nation. As for calling them Hessians
we believe the Eds go quite a bit too far. Many
R. O. T. C. graduates have gone into active
service and of course they receive pay for
it, but don't we also pay our policemen and
firemen? Then why should there be any dif­ferentiation?
Probably some of you missed the dish of
dirt which has been your fare under the title
of "You and Who," but we believe that Work­man's
new brain child is a big improvement.
However we would like to put in a vote that
as long as he is going to write a column he
bring "Pete" and his famous epistles back.
They were widely read and thoroughly enjoy­ed
even though the Collegiate press thought
that they lowered the tone of the paper.
In the mornings mail comes a postcard
scribbled in the childish scrawl of one of the
inmates of the University. We quote ver­batim:
Who won the S. E. Conference this year? —
Ala.
Who is going to the Rose Bowl? — Ala.
"The sweetest village in the South" is again
on the bottom Ha, Ha, Ha!
We can't let that go by without comment
We admit that Alabama, with the aid of the
referee's in the Tulane and Tech games, won
the S. E. C. title after playing the weakest
schedule of any team in the conference. We
also admit that they are going to the Rose
Bowl—mostly because California wanted
somebody they could beat. But as for Auburn
being on the bottom we wonder where in the
! * ! ! ? ! * the writer of the card learned his
math. In case he can't add, Auburn won third
place in the conference after playing the
hardest schedule of any team in the country.
At least our team has no excuses to make
for any of the games they have played and
most of all we can be good losers and not
overbearingly oppressive when we win. If
the writer of that card is a true example of
the intelligence of the inmates at the larger
of the two mad houses over there we extend
our sympathy to them all we hope that barrel
doesn't get too heavy on their walk back
from California after they have been given
their cleaning on January first.
In other words nuts to him ! ! ! ! ! And I
wish we were meeting the Bama team just as
a matter of straightening out statistics.

THIS TIME: THE ARROGANT JAPS;
'BAMA TO LOSE; TAX REVISION;
THE SHORT SESSION; MEDDLING
FROM TENNESSEE.
THE LITTLE BROWN MEN from Japan
apparently belong to that category of people
who gain pleasure from courting danger. Tues­day
a group of them confiscated an Ameri­can
vessel for use as a troop transport. The
ship was returned and apologies were made.
Of course, the offense is nothing to go to war
about, but it does amply demonstrate the
growing disregard of the Japanese for other
nations. Contrary to popular belief, there are
many arguments of the Japs grows as the
conflict continues.
. When a little boy wins a fight, even though
the boy he beat was the smaller, the winner
puffs out his chest and says, "I can lick
anybody." Japan is just like a little boy; it
has beaten a smaller opponent and now has
adopted the attitude. "I can lick anybody."
But presently the Japanese will push some­one's
patience too far, probably' Russia's,
then they will get their cheeks slapped for
their insolence. It may be several years yet,
but eventually the Japs will get their spank­ing.
JANUARY FIRST will again find Alabama
in the Rose Bowl. Alabama starts west with
, a record of never being beaten in the Pasa­dena
classic. Team for team we do not be­lieve
that western football rates with south­ern
football. But it is about time for the law
of averages to catch up with the Crimson Tide.
Unless the Tide is keyed to just the right
tension, we believe that they will be on the
short end of the score.
THE MOVEMENT for Federal tax re­vision
daily gains impetus. Business demands
it, and President Roosevelt must soon see the
handwriting on the wall. Secretary Roper of
the Department of Commerce ha already de­manded
that the tax burden be distributed
more equally, which means less of the "seak
the rich" policy and a raise in taxes on the
man of medium income. The much-maligned
undistributed profits tax on corporations will
certainly be reduced if not entirely done
away with.
THE SHORT SESSION of Congress so far
has done a splendid job of doing nothing.
The members have spoken, filibustered, and
haggled day after day. The south opposes the
wages-hours bill and anti-lynching bill; the
mid-west opposes numerous provisions of the
farm relief bill. Every move which a group
of Senators make is checkmated by another
group. The supporters of the wages-hours
bill have almost enough support now to as­sure
that the bill be brought before the House
for a vote. It has already passed the Senate,
and if it does come before the House, it will
pass, we believe. The effect which the bill will
have on the South after passage remains to be
seen. If wage differentials are not established
the South may be dangerously handicapped;
on the other hand, if wage differentials are
established the Southern wage scale and the
Southern standard of living will remain low.
It is just a question of whether the industrial­ist
or the worker of the south is the more im­portant.
ALABAMA DEMOCRATS rose in violent
protest to the letters which a Tennessee Re­publican
representative sent to Alabamians
in regard to the Hill-Heflin race for the Sen­ate.
The letters would not have been so ob­jectionable
had they not been sent under the
Tennessean's franking privilege. The rever­berations
have been so great that probably
the gentleman wishes that he had never in­terfered
with another State's primary.

Alabama Named To
Conference Post
Last Saturday the curtain fell
on one of the most brilliant and
most surprising seasons S. E. C.
fans have witnessed. Week after
week the games were among the
best in the nation, filled with
upsets and splendid playing.
Alabama succeeds L. S. U. as
champion. The Tide had a perfect
record of six conference wins and
no losses. Three of the victories
were by slim margins; they eked
out a 7 to 0 score over Tech, and
had to depend upon the reliable
toe of Sandy Sanford tp give
them victory in both the Tulane
and Vandy games, the final score
in both cases being 9 to 7 in Ala­bama's
favor.
L. S. U. was second with five
victories and one loss. That de­feat
was suffered at the hands of
Vandy, who surprised the Bayou
Bengals with-the old hidden ball
trick, and handed them a 7 to 6
lacing.
Auburn and Vanderbilt were
third and fourth, respectively, and
Georgia Tech and Mississippi were
tied for fifth. The rest of the con­ference
was strung out from .500
on down.
Auburn's record was marred by
one loss, to L. S. U., and two ties,
to Tulane and Georgia. The Tigers
won four games in the conference.
Vandy won four and lost two.
The Commodores were defeated
decisively by Tech, but almost
ruined Alabama's Rose Bowl hopes
on Thanksgiving.
Last Saturday's games assured
L. S. U. and Auburn of their places
among the leaders.
L. S. U. had to take to the au­to
whip Tulane, 20 to 7 after the
Greenies had scored on a long
run by "Honest John" Andrews
in the first period.
Auburn had to hustle to trounce
Florida, 14 to 0. The Gators show­ed
very little on offense, but their
line held when the Tigers approach
ed their goal.
Georgia and Georgia Tech bat­tled
all afternoon for nothing.
Capt. Bill Hartman's 93-yard run
gave Georgia its score and only
piece of offense for the afternoon.
Tech kept moving from one 20-
yard line to the other, but they
finally had to recover a fumble to
score. The final count was 6 to 6.
Tennessee plays Ole Miss at
Memphis and Kentucky meets
Florida in Gainesville next Sat­urday.
However, they are just
two more football games, and
when they are over the conference
can really close shop for the year.
The S. E. C. can point to its
1937 teams with pride. The win­ner,
Alabama, is to meet Californ­ia
in the Rose Bowl, the nation's
grid classic. The Tide has/ not
lost a Bowl contest yet, having
won three and tied one in their
four games.
L. S. U., on the other hand, is
to play for the third consecutive
year in the Sugar Bowl, and has
not won yet. They lost to T. C. U.
in 1935, 3 to 2. Last year they fell
before Santa Clara, 21 to 14. This
year the Tigers meet the Santa
Clara Broncos in a return match
that should pack plenty of punch.
L. S. U. was rated eighth in the
nation, Santa Clara tied with No­tre
Dame for ninth.
Other laurels were added when
it was revealed that the third

East Takes Lead
In All Ratings
With little chance of their be­ing
altered in the few remaining
games the East leads the parade
in placing teams among the first
ten in the Williamson rating this
week. The East has five teams
ranked in the first ten, closely fol­lowed
by the South with four,
with the West adding the remain­ing
eleven.
Coach Jack Sutherland's Pitts­burgh
Panthers finished their
schedule with a smart 10 to 0 vic­tory
over Duke to earn the title
of the nations greatest gridiron
eleven. California, though idle re-tained
its second rating and won
a well-deserved invitation to re­present
the West in the Rose Bowl
I classic. Alabama proved its right
, to championship rating by out­smarting
a great Vanderbilt out-
I fit, 9 to 7, to retain their No. 3
I position and gain an invitation- to
play California on New Year's Day.
Auburn easily made its two
touchdowns over Florida and
knocked at the door several times
more, to win its berth as number
10 among the leaders. The tra­veling
Tigers played one of the
hardest schedules in the nation,
and is probably the only team
in the nation that did not play a
game at home.

All-Southeastern Conference Team Is
Selected By Staff Sports Writers
The sports scribes of the Plains­man
staff gathered in a huddle
last Wednesday and emerged with
their selections of a mythical "All-
Southeastern" football team for
1937. Auburn, Alabama and Vand­erbilt
dominate the all-star team
chosen by the sports staff. Auburn
and Alabama each placed four
men on the two teams and Vand­erbilt
placed three.
Jimmie Fenton, Auburn's great
right halfback, nailed down the
All-Conference berth at halfback,
being unamiously chosen by the
sports scribes. Ralph, Sivell, that
spectacular guard, and Bo Russell,
tackle, were also placed on the
first eleven through their splendid
playing throughout the year.

The Auburn Tigers have closed
the curtain on their 1937 suicide
schedule with flying colors, wind­ing
up in third place in the South­eastern
Conference . . . Facing nine
consecutive opponents rating "first
class", the Plainsmen had no op­portunity
to rest, and making mat­ters
worse, they played the en­tire
schedule away from home . . .
Just take a gander at these foes—
Tulane, Villanova, Mississippi
State, Georgia Tech, Rice, Tennes­see,
L. S. U., Georgia and Florida
. . . Against that array of talent
Auburn lost two, but extremely
close decisions, and tied three . . .
Congratulations are in order to
those "traveling Tigers." . . .
The selection of Alabama to re­present
the East in the Rose Bowl
classic came somewhat as a sur­prise
to most fans . . . After Pitts­burgh
had voted against accept­ing
any "bowl" bids, the race nar­rowed
down to Alabama and Ford­ham
to oppose California on New
Year's Day, with many persons
believing that Fordham's cry,
"From Rose Hill to Rose Bowl,"
would become a reality . . . How­ever,
the Crimson Tide has an
enviable record on the coast, hav­ing
won from Stanford, Washing­ton
State and tieing Stanford in
its four trips to the Rose Bowl,
and is entitled to the bid this year
after an undefeated season . . .The
Sugar Bowl game in New Orleans

Tennis Matches
Get Slow Start
The all campus tennis singles
tournament is progressing slowly
but surely. Most of the first round
matches have been run off and
several of the second round duels
have been completed. •*
In first round matches Harlow
Chapman advanced at the ex­pense
of Beverly Hollis. Hubert
Sanderson beat Forrest Nixon.
John Alley bowed to Bobby Pick­ens,
and John Campbell beat D.
W- Hollis.
Ralph Young, H. L. King, Billy
Henry, and Norman Tobia moved
on to the third round through
virtue of byes.
Interest in the tournament has
not been so intense as the number
of entrants would indicate. Pro­gress
has been slow, and there
has been some difficulty in bring­ing
the netmen together for their
scheduled matches. But more en­thusiasm
is being shown as the
players move into the advanced
rounds. .,
Season's Features
Are Enumerated
Thanksgiving closed out anoth­er
big football season with up­sets
and thrills aplenty. The Go-liaths
that fell at the hands of the
fall.
Football's old timers, the nation
over, proclaim the 1937 season
as the most colorful in history. It
was abounding in upsets, spec­tacular
plays and players, unbeat­able
teams and new formations.
Invincible Alabama, Pitt, Santa
Clara, Fordham and several oth­ers
refused to yield to any op­ponents,
despite the fact that ev­ery
team they met was cocked to
beat the "big team." Their re­cords
put them in the national
limelight and provided their spec­tators
with plenty of flashy foot­ball.
A few educated toes won im­portant
ball games this fall. Head­ing
this list is Sandy Sanford,
whose field goal against Vander­bilt
boosted Alabama into the Rose
Bowl again.
Novelties, offensive and defen­sive,
added color to the game.
The use of more razzle-dazzle
and trick lateral plays was the
most noticable trend of offensive
play.
A relatively new pass defense,
the five-three-two-one, made
passing more difficult and increas­ed
the number of interceptions
considerably. These special de­fenses
for various situations con­tributed
immensely to the perfec­tion
of football.
It is obvious that the game
grows more colorful as it becomes
more complex. The development
of the lateral, the field goal, kick-off
plays, special defenses and new
formations in the past few sea­sons
have veritably revolutionized
football and have given it a great
deal of flash and zip that keeps
spectators on the edge of their
seats all the time.
Rohm, Snell, Davis
Share Honors
The high scoring honors of the
S. E. C. for the season are now
being shared by Charles "Pinky"
Rohm and Jabbo Snell, of L. S. U.
and Bob Davis, of Kentucky. The
neck and neck race between the
trio has developed with Snell and
Rohm adding a touchdown or two
each week to catch up with Bob
Davis who has not scored since
Nov. 6.
L. S. U. has closed its regular
schedule, but Davis will have one
more opportunity to forge ahead,
when the Kentucky Wildcats meet
Florida Saturday.
Second place "Dutch" Konne-man
failed to add to his 43 points
due to the great defensive play
of the Georgia line, but he still
has a one point edge over Joe
Kilgrow, of Bama and Banker,
of Tulane.

within the Y. M. C. A., the
governing body is now composed
of the chairmen of the committees
of the "Y", presidents of the de­nominational

campus, and the elective officers
instead of the body formerly
known as the Friendship Council.
The cabinet, as now organized,
is composed of the following stu­dents:
Clyde Jones, "Y" President,
and chairman of cabinet; Arthur
Cooper, V. Pres.; Bob Powell, sec.;'
William Carroll, Tres.; Bob John­ston,

Send the Plainsman Home
By Joan. Metzger Barkalow
Approximately 60 hours of group
practice, 10 hours of individual
drill per person, and 500 hours
of manual work on sets and pro­perties
have been devoted to the
Auburn Players' latest production
"Oliver, Oliver."
Work started five weeks ago
with reading rehearsals and mem­orization
of lines. This developed
into introductory business periods,
where plans of the stage were
studied and the cast walked
through their parts. Intensive drill
then commenced on the complica­tions
of timing, tempo, and pan-tomine.
Business, in stage language
consists of gesture and stage move­ment
requisite to the fullest in­terpretation
of characters. All ma­jor
gestures in the Players' pro­ductions
are carefully planned by
the director, Telfair B. Peet. The
requirenlents of good business,
he thoroughly explains to his act­ors
as "clearness, motivation, and
harmony."
Grouping to create effective
stage design is also worked out
by Prof. Peet. Unity and balance
are two requisites of stage com­position,
and inexperienced Play­ers
must be trained to avoid "cov­ering"
other actors in exits, cross­ings,
and general positions.
The importance of natural ges­ture
and movement in character­ization
is a problem particularly
perplexing to the new Player
who, because he or she has had the
head in a high school play, expects
to rely on individual originality of
interpretation.
Often exhausted from attending
classes all day, the Players must
control their enunciation and the
pitch and volume of their voices.
Several times during the present
production members of the cast
have lost their voices due to colds,
but have gamely carried on by
whispering their lines.
Early practices on manipulating
furniture and handling smaller
properties are essential for tim­ing.
Before the actual properties
are complete, the Players drill on
the stage with substitutes. An am­using
example of substitution re­cently
has been Oliver's dramatic
entrance with a garden sprinkler
under his arm instead of the small
pitcher he will carry in the final
performance.
After hours of repetition, catch­ing
cues and reactions to them
have come to be a natural pro­cedure.
Early next week the an­ticipated
orchestration rehearsal
will be held, with grease paint,
costumes, the complete set, and
properties to stimulate the weary
group. The director, prompter^
actors, stage hands, and property
crew will be tense with excite­ment,
for every detail must work
out with punctuality and smooth­ness.
Although the class in Play Pro­duction
is invaluable as a sub­stantial
auxiliary body to the Au­burn
"Players, the nucleus of the
producing organization is formed
by students sincerely interested
in dramatics who contribute their
time and energies to various plays
through the year.
"Oliver, Oliver" a comedy, holds
promise of being one of the most
finished productions of the year,
and will introduce several new
faces) to the audience next Thurs­day
night.

Astaire Billed In
Merry Film ,
Fred Astaire makes merry in a
co-starring role with George Burns
and Gracie Allen in RKO Radio's
romantic musical, "A Damsel in
Distress," a P. G. Wodehouse
story, spiced with captivating
tunes by the late George Gershwin,
which comes to the Opelika Theat­re
Sunday. With his engaging com­edy
t Astaire introduces what are
said to be the most amazing dance
routines of his career.
Supporting Astaire and the two
radio comics in this ripping com­edy
is a brilliant cast including
lovely Joan Fontaine, in the title
role, and such distinguished play­ers
as Reginal Gardiner, Ray Nob­le,
Constance Collier, Montagu
Love and Harry Watson.
Astaire portrays a shy Ameri­can
musical comedy favorite, who
becomes involved in a hectic ro­mance
with a sheltered, titled
English girl, Lady Alyce, played by
Miss Fontaine. The servants at the
castle where Lady Alyce lives in­augurate
a sweepstakes based on
who will win Lady Alyce's hand.
The girl is being coerced into a
marriage with an English fop by
an imperious old aunt.
Through an ingenious set of cir­cumstances,
Astaire is made to be­lieve
that Lady Alyce is in love
with him, and he quits his show
in London and rents a cottage near
the girl's ancestral castle. The en­tire
castle and countryside enter
into the romance, and many hil­arious
complications result.
Burns and Allen, remaining true
to the characters they portray on
the radio, do their share to sa­botage
Fred's romance. Allen plays
Astaire's press agent, and Gracie
is George's dumb but efferves­cent
secretary. ,
Ray Noble, noted English or­chestra
leader, has the role of a
foppish English chap, who is As­taire's
rival for the hand of Lady
Alyce.
Reginal Gardiner, foremost Eng­lish
comedian/ plays Keggs, a mar-tiner
stewart, who reigns with an
iron hand over Totleigh Castle, the
real owners of which are Lady
Alyce, her father, Lord Marsh-moreton,
Montagu Love; and her
aunt Carolyn, Constance Collier.

ture of the picture is the dancing
of Astaire. In a departure from
his past pictures, he performs two
novelty routines with Burns and
Allen, one a Whisk Broom Dance
in an English cottage, and the ot­her
in a fun palace in an amuse­ment
park. He does two solo nov­elty,
dances, his Drum Dance, in
which he plays a dozen percussion
instruments, and his Street Dance,
in which he eludes a policeman
to rhythm.
Astaire is heard singing songs
written for the picture by the late
George Gershwin and his brother
Ira. For the first time in a film-musical,
two modernized English
pastoral songs, "Sign of Spring"
and "The Jolly Tar and the Milk­maid"
are featured with Astaire
doing a comedy routine with a
group of madrigal singers. "Foggy
Day in London" and "Thins Are
Looking Up," are lilting romantic
ballads, while "I Can't Be Both­ered
Now," and "Nice Work If
You Can Get It" are novelty rhy­thm
numbers.
The majority of the scenes were
photographed in and about an
English castle, an English coun­tryside
cottage, a London street,
and an English amusement park. A
huge Tudor castle was constructed
for the picture.
Many P. G. Wodehouse stories
have been adapted for the films,
but this is the first time the noted
English humorist has done one of
his stories for the screen. He col­laborated
with Ernest Pagano and
S. K. Lauren on the screen play.
George Stevens, one of Holly­wood's
youngest and most success­ful
directors, who handled a pre­vious
Astaire hit, "Swing Time,"
preferred the same function on "A
Damsel in Distress," which is a
Pandro S. Berman production.
Elmer G. Salter Announces
1938 Schedule Not Yet Made
Elmer G. Salter, sports editor of
Auburn, announced today that the
first football game of the 1938 sea­son
would be Birmingham-South­ern
at Cramton Bowl, Montgom­ery.
The other teams in Auburn's
1938 schedule has not been com­pleted.
This schedule, Editor Salter
said, would be completed just as
soon as Coach Meagher returns
from Chicago.
It was first announced that Flo­rida
would be first on the schedule
of the Plainsmen, but this was
changed to Southern.
The teams Auburn will play
next season will probably be the
same as those of the 1937 season
with only a few changes made.
The regular schedule will be pub­lished
at a latter date. It is ru­mored
that Fordham will be on the
schedule in place of Villanova next
year.
Coach Meagher has been in Chi­cago
attending a meeting of the
Western Conference of Athletic
heads. He will return to Auburn
next week. It is understood that
Coach Meagher might add a new
intersectional foe to the new
schedule.

Crosby, Raye Clown
In Tiper Film
When you have Bing Crosby
and his songs, Martha Raye and
her hearty warbling, plus Andy
Devine's "gravel" voice and a
whole slew of scintillating comedy
situations, you can just about
double your bets that you'll get
entertainment that will blow out
your laugh pipes. And that's just
what happens in "Double or Noth­ing"
which opens Sunday at the
Tiger Theatre.
Once again Bing and Martha
have scored a knock-out in un­adulterated
entertainment, there­by
doubling the hit they made
in "Waikiki Wedding."
Bing's own honey-crooing voice
is augmented by a "Sing Band,"
something swingingly new. And
Martha, as a song and dance girl
who can't get by a certain tune
without disastrously funny results,
literally brings out the riot squad.
Tuneful, mirthful, mouthful —
that's "Double or Nothing," with
infectious songs that include "It's
the Natural Thing to Do," "The
Moon Got in My Eyes" and "All
You Want to do is Dance." Mary
Carlisle is the romantic target for
Bing.
The story is about a freak will
that promises a million dollars
if either Bing Crosby, Martha Raye
Andy Devine, or William Frawley,
finders of planted purses, can
double $5,000 in thirty days. Sam
Hinds is the will-makers' schem­ing
brother who plots to keep the
million in the family and is not
above using his daughter, Mary
Carlisle, when there's double-crossing
to be done.
Andy opens a golf course and
loses his $5,000 in prize money to I
a drunk who makes the hole-in-one
on his first drive. Frawley
buys phoney stock, and Martha
literally skins herself in a canoe i
service, piloted by show girls, on!
the day the fleet comes in.
There is left only Bing to make
the grade. On Mary's pursuasion
he opens a night club and signs
a bad lease. The big night comes
when he's to sell an interest in the
club for 610,000. The Hind's plot­ting
just about wrecks the show—
but not quite. The situation calls
for one of the most spectacular
Hollywood "tricks" that ever aw­ed
a movie audience, and incident­ally,
introduces some top notch
song and dance acts.
Added attraction will include a
two reel cartoon of Popeye done
in technicolor. Two such films of
Popeye are made each year.
