FAMOUS AUBURN BAND TO
CELEBRATE ANNIVERSARY
Auburn Band Is Thirty
Years Old This Year
» During the national observance of
music week the Auburn band will celebrate
its thirtieth anniversary. The
commencement program, which will
be inaugurated May 22, will be featured
by the band and orchestra.
Governor Graves and his staff will
review the R. O. T. C. unit, including
the band, on May 23. It will also
participate in the Alumni Day exercises,
including the traditional "festival
of lights" Monday evening, May
23. Again the Auburn orchestra, auxiliary
to the band, will furnish special
music at the graduating exercises
Tuesday, May 24.
The Auburn band is widely known
throughout the United States. It
was founded at Auburn in 1897 by
Professor M. T. Fullen, at the present
time head Professor of Mechanical
Drawing and Machine Design.
The band has appeared in Montgomery,
the capitol city, at practically
every inauguration of the governor
since the band was organized.
It had a leading place in the inaugural
parade of Governor Bibb Graves.
Its history is inter-twined with the
long and eventful history of the Ala^
bama Polytechnic Institute. The
band has traveled all over the United
States, visiting practically every
southern city of importance and in
cidentally has unique connection with
Alabama's part in the great World
War, for the present director of the
band, Mr. P. R. Bidez and four other
Auburn men, members of the band,
were leaders of the famous 167th
infantry band of the Rainbow Division
in France.
In fact, Paul Bidez was the chief
musician and band master of the
World War outfit, F. M. Taylor was
drummer, M. G. Crosthwait handled
the oboe and A. L. Scarbrough had
the clarinet.
The war records of the 167th infantry
show that an entire division
of the German army, including the
band was captured.on one of the big
drives of the American army in
France. The captured German band
instruments were turned over to the
members of the 167th infantry band,
headed by Mr. Bidez and the captured
German drum was later presented
to the Auburn band by Taylor.
It was this band with Auburn men
in places of leadership that gave the
first concert ever given by a military
band from the states in England.
Colonel Screws, commander of the
167th, was there, as well as Major
Alfred Edmeades of Winchester England.
And later when the Alabama boys
went into Germany, as part of the
army of occupation, Mr. Bidez and
his band on German soil played
"Touchdown Auburn."

of next term were elected. The
following elections were made: More-land
G. Smith, president; Charles R.
Moore, vice-president; Catherine

in dramatics this semester, and a
number of splendid entertainments
have been staged by this organization.
For the past year this work has been
effectively tutored by Prof. Harry
Hamilton, a member of the faculty in
the English department. A number of
the entertainments given have been
composed by him, and have been great
successes on the stage.
The organization of Auburn Players

THIS SESSION
Seventh Dance Given By Athl

200 SENIORS CANDIDATES
FOR DEGREES AT AUBURN
The "A" Club held its final dance
of the season Saturday night. The
event was the last of a series of seven
dances given during the college year
the proceeds of which are for the
benefit of the "A" Club fund.
The dance was probably the most
successful of the year, being widely
supported by the student body. A
number of out-of-town visitors were
also present. Music for the evening
was furnished by Dick Yarbrough's
well known orchestra.
It is felt that the "A" Club dances
foster a spirit of unity among a portion
of the student body as well as
offer a means of recreation throughout
the year. The "A" Club is anticipating
another successful year-next
term.

Petrie Discusses Mississippi Flood
In His Current Events Lecture
More than forty mothers attended
Auburn's first Mothers Day festivities
here Saturday and Sunday.
The two day period created much
attention and interest in behalf of the
mothers, the college and the students.
This event goes down on the
pages of Auburn's history as the
first attempt of its kind.
Mothers received a warm welcome
from both the townspeople and faculty
and there is no doubt that hereat-te%
the feeling between Auburn and
the mothers will be much closer.
The student Y. M. C. A. sponsored
the program of their two day stay
here and are to commended for their
excellent work. Saturday's program
included a tour of the campus and of
the town, a military review by the
R. O. T. C, a picture show party
by the "A" club, and a reception at
Dr. Dowell's home.
The Sunday program consisted of
special Sunday School exercises followed
by special sermons at all the
churches.
Auburn has established a precedent
by having the mothers of her
students here for the first time to
share and observe Mothers Day.
After a week's absence, Dr. George
Petrie resumed his current events lee.
tures last week. His topic was the
Mississippi flood. He emphasized especially
the remedies which would prevent
the occurrence of such floods in
the future. He said: "Our country
is today facing a great disaster.
The Chicago fire, the San Francisco
earthquake, the Galveston deluge, the
Florida storm were terrible enough.
But the flood now sweeping the Mississippi
valley, the greatest in its history,
bids fair to surpass them all in
destructiveness.
The Effect of the Flood
"The scenes of desolation now extend
through seven states. Thousands
of square miles of fertile lands
have , been covered with water.
Houses, stock and improvements of
all kinds have been swept away.
Towns and farms have fared alike.
More than a quarter of a million
people are homeless. Thousands of
pitiful refugees in crowded camps exist
upon the charity or others.
"The heart of the nation is touched.
Its spirit is aroused. All is being
done that can be done. The Red
Cross, "Secretary Hoover and other
cabinet members, army engineers,
state officials, the national guard, organizations
of all kinds, and private
individuals without limit are doing
their utmost.
"But when the waters go down, the
people in the flooded regions must begin
over again. Most of their property
is gone. Their business is disorganized.
They must take a fresh
start in the midst of poverty, sickness
and sorrow.
"These people come from a brave
race. They smile grimly and build
their homes anew and better than before.
But it is a terrible experience,
and one question now lies in the back
of every thoughtful mind: "can such
disasters be prevented in the future?"
The Cause of the Flood
"Before answering this question we
must ask another: What causes a
flood like this?'
"The Mississippi river, including
the Missouri, is the longest river in
the world. Into it flow fifty other
navigable streams. It drains over a
third of the area of the United States.
This year the rains in this immense
valley have been heavy, prolonged and
widespread. From every direction
floods have come hurrying down to
the great main stream, and have been
(Continued on page 4)
That "a college education will enable
us to find ourselves" was presented
as the theme of a talk given by
Mr. W. H. Bruce of Texas, to the upper
classmen at convocation Thursday.
The speaker is an alumnus of this
institution, a graduate of 1883. He
is now President Emeritus of the
North State College for Teachers
in Texas, where he settled after leaving
Auburn .
Several reminiscenses of the past
led Mr. Bruce to his subject—a correct
attitude toward education. "In past
years the main idea of an education,"
he declared, "was to devote time incessantly
to learning and storing up
knowledge. The scholar, as he was
called, remained .secluded and merely
continued to acquire knowledge which
was of no advantage to the outside
world.
"The attitude toward education at
the present shows a marked change,
for the educated man no longer hoards
his knowledge but uses it precisely to
some advantage. Education now appeals,
not to an isolated group, but to
the general public.
The modern educated man must
know and do something to help humanity
and build character. To every in
dividual born there is a personality
and an individuality. It is our duty
to improve this nature called person
ality, for it is an indestructable thing
which stamps every young man as a
unique creation."

Gamma chapter of Phi Alpha Chi,
a national sorority, was installed at
the Alabama Polytechnic Institute
on May 7 by representatives from
Chicago and Ohio.
Phi Alpha Chi was founded at
Berkley, California. The chapter at
Auburn is at the present the only
chapter in the south. The newly established
chapter gives Auburn three
sororities, namely, Kappa Delta, Chi
Omega, and Phi Alpha Chi. The latter
will occupy a sorority home, the
first on the campus.
A reception was given at the sorority
room Saturday afternoon' to present
the Gamma chapter to the fraternities
and the sororities of Auburn.
The room was decorated in the
sorority colors, red and white and also
with cut flowers, ferns and various
college pennants. Misses Gibbs, Cline
and Martin met the guests and presented
them to the receiving line, consisting
of Misses Dunn, Dobbs,
Thompson, and Professor Robinson.
On Saturday night the banquet
was held at the Thomas Hotel, with
Miss Neida Martin as toast mistress.
A musical program constituted the
main part of the porgram for the
evening.
The members of the sorority are,:
Lillian Dunn, Neida Martin, Lorene
Parrish, Leita Gibbs, Katherine
Nunn, Sarah Hollidy, Edna Creel,
Cindy Lester, Vera Isbell, Mrs. J. C.
Lowery, Viola Thorn, Gertrude Ger-ber,
Lemie Cline, Hadie Nichols, Martha
Haupt, Rebecca Pate, Jane
Springer, Sudie Dowdell and Clara
Nole.
According to reports issuing from
the lair of the Social Committee, of
which J. P. Atherton is big chief, the
Senior Prom, final dances of the collegiate
year which are to be held
May, 19-20-21, will be the most elaborate
to ever enthrall the hearts of
the Plainsmen and the fair sponsors.
Nothing in the way of entertainment
has been omitted and no expense has
been spared in obtaining the finest
auxiliaries to pleasure.
Weidemeyer and famous orchestra,
who so fascinated the dancing contingent
at the Junior Prom of last
year, have been secured. This group
of musicians is perhaps the most
pleasing combine of jazz dispensers
in Dixie and never fail to provide a
high type of entertainment through
their many novelty hits. The significant
feature about these men is that
they understand Auburn men and
what they want in the way of musical
numbers.
Forth from Beauty's most remote
haunts have been summoned the
flower of Southern womanhood as
companions to the Villagers and the
gaiety of the dances is assured by
the number who have evidenced their
intention of attending. Over seven
hundred and fifty invitations were
mailed out and it is thought that
more fair ones will grace the floor
of the Alumni gym than ever before in
the history of these gala functions.
The decorations will be in the spirit
of springtime and eternal youth, a
pleasing cotrast to the melancholy
tone prevalent each May at the departure
of the Seniors. This distinguished
prototype will be the cynosure
of all eyes as these dances are
his own, to do him homage before he
leaves his Alma Mater for the last
time.
The dances will be under the direct
management of the student Social
Committee who will be aided in their
supervision by suggestions frpm the
faculty Social Committee and Miss
Zoe Dobbs, popular social director.
Fraternity house parties, completely
chaperoned, will enliven the pleasure
of the participants. Fraternities
who will stage these affairs are:
Alpha Tau Omega, Kappa Sigma,
Sigma Nu, Alpha Gamma Rho, Lambda
Chi Alpha, and Pi Kappa Alpha.
A new feature in ticket selling will
be incorporated during these dances.
Instead of the customary method of
selling t l # whole ticket to all three
dances of the first night and allowing
the purchaser to retain the unused
portion each night, the admission
slips will be sold at the entrance
to the dance floor and, when the three
night's or two night's admission is

IS HONOR GONE?
There has been quite a bit of speculation
here of late as to the effects
that the repealing of the Honor System
by the student body of Auburn
will have upon the college's good name.
It is indeed a very unfortunate
thin for us to have to take such drastic
action, but it is even worse to have
the erroneous reports going out over
the state about "wholesale cheating"
at Auburn under the tenets of the
Honor System. It has been reported
that anywhere from thirty to seventy
per cent of the student body were
was proven by a survey of two classes
cheating. This was erroneous, as
recently. In this survey, each student
was asked to write on a piece of paper
if he had cheated or not in that class.
He was not required to sign the ballot,
therefore eliminating chances of
a dishonest person's telling a falsehood.
When the ballots were checked
and counted ( it was found that only
ten percent of them had cheated. This
is a very low parcent of dishonesty
for any college.
Auburn is not the only school where
the Honor System has not worked efficiently.
At the state Y.M.C.A. conference
recently every college in the
state gave as one of their greatest
campus problems, the inefficiency of
the Honor System. Auburn has had
the good sense to get rid of something
that was not doing her any good. She
has tried to make the system more effective
for three years, but failed
to raise it as much as was desired,
though they did raise its standards a
great deal in that time.
Two years ago, the student body
voted in a new constitution for the system.
They did not back it whole-heartily,
and it failed to do much good.
It is far better for the student body to
reject the system than for it to vote
for it and then refuse to back it. It
takes real moral courage to do the former
and cowardice will do the latter
easily. The passing of the Honor System
does not mean that the student
body is dishonest. It only shows that
the students are fundamentally honest
enough to vote out an institution that
will not be supported, if voted in, by
are going to use their own forms of
tjie whole student body.
We find that the individual classes
honor systems. We think this will
work far more effectively than the
old system whereby every student was
policeman. This attempt to force
students to act as policemen was the
real reason for the defeat of the
Honor System. The thought of spying
on ones friends was repugnant
within itself.
No, honesty has not become an ambiguous
term at Auburn. If it had
become such, the Honor System would
not have been voted out. It took more
courage to act as the students did,
than it would have to keep the system.
Futhermore, this passing of the system
will not dishonor Auburn in the
eyes of any fairminded man, but
rather serve to create admiration for
the spirit shown by her students.
CIVILS VS. ARCHITECTS
The inhabitants of college towns
rarely surprized at the antics of the
are college students. The people of the
lovely village Witnessed one of the
most comical events this week that has
been staged in a long while.
The Civils conjured up a publicity
stunt that is to be commended. This
troup of vagabonds appeared on the
streets drawing a tottering and creaking
wagon loaded with Thesises, and
bedecked with appropriate signs.
The senior architects were not invited
to participate in "The Vulgar
Boatmen" parade. The indignant designers
displayed their originality and
appeared behind the Civils dressed in
tuxedos and riding in fine cars. No
doubt this was their final effort and
all their meager earnings were involved.
The Civils trudging in the
dust and straining under the heavy
load that they have been subjected to
for four years paused for a moment
in surprise at the appearance of the
Architects.
A band also accompanied the elegantly
dressed gentlemen and such
placards as 'Brains vs Brawn", "Why
walk and be Vulgar Boatmen when
you can be an Architect and Ride",
etc graced their cars.
Upon arival at Prof. Callan's home
the Architects formed a receiving line
and escorted the beloved teacher to a
waiting limousine. The Civils entreaties
were ignored by the professor
who s^ood for the Architects as if he
were of reinforced concrete.
Hundreds gathered to hear the silver
tongued orators of both schools
proclaim words of praise for their
esteemed professor.
THE BAND CELEBRATES
During the coming commencement
the Auburn Band will celebrate its
thirtieth birthday. So far as is
known it is the oldest college band in
the South and the only one that functions
throughout the entire year>
Plans are being formulated for the
celebration. On this occasion special
concerts will be a feature of the exercises
and all old members of the
famous organization are invited to
return and join in the festivities.
It is a coincidence that all three
directors of the band are still connected
with the college. These men
have been instrumental in placing the
college on the plane which it now enjoys.
The history of the band is long and
interesting and interwoven with that
of Auburn. We may trace its progress
from the small drum and bugle
corps inaugurated by Professor M. T.
Fullan to the splendid concert and
marching outfit of today.
The band under the baton of P. R.
Bidez has developed into the foremost
college organization of the country.
We know of no college band that attempts
to play the class of music that
our band so beautifully renders.
Wherever the band has appeared
this fact has. been the source of much
favorable comment.
With the snappy uniforms secured
mainly through the efforts of Bill
Wood, the organization is one of the
best uniformed bands in the country.
Today the band stands apart from
similar college musical groups. It's
unique station was not gained by any
swift or spectacular strides but by
conciencious and consistent effort on
the part of the personnel. We are
proud of our band and hope that
it will always measure up to the
dreams of its founders.
Let us join in celebrating the anniversary
of our band that has played
such a vital part in the development
of Auburn.
WITH OTHER COLLEGES
Deal Hal:
I am sure that you will be interested
in campus news. I intend to be
a regular correspondent if I can find
the time. *
The boys are in a great rush. Dummy
Howard, Weemie Baskin, (the
premier hurdler) and Spec White are
so worried aabout the coming exams,
that they have on several occasions,
gone to convocation on Tuesday instead
of Thursday.
Books, books! Why, everyone, of
them look like brand new ones. 'Tis
such a pity to use them now, thus
preventing the students from selling
them to the book stores as new books.
I made a startling discovery yesterday.
Goods have declined in price!
Ribbons are cheap and in the reach
of every student on the campus. I
wonder what all these ribbons mean,
that the men are wearing on their
shirts. Someone, Rat Hahn, I think,
told me that the ribbons were awarded
by the War Department to* all
students in R. O. T. C. who openly
avowed their ardent desire to drill
two hours on Saturday, instead of
one hour.
I notice that we have a new "Jack"
(of the Bean Stalk) in the person of
Lieutenant Bowley. He is a modern
Jack, however," having planted a few
steel seeds, and the result—a steel
pole grew up over night. It is reported
that Bowley will climb the pole
at the next Review, in an effort to
Teach the top.
Fred Ledbetter feels like Coolidge,
after shaking hands with the population
of the United States, since every
other student that sees him asks,
"When are we going to get our Glom-eratas?"
As this Class is ready to convene,
and the students, to depart for other
rooms, there to listen with eyes closed
and body reclining, to the "talked-out"
professors, I must stop and go
with them.

MODERN smokers find in Camels
a nicety of blending, a friendly
cordiality of flavor, an inherent
goodness that thrills from the first
puff to the last. That is why
Camels are the favorite of the
present age. The warmth of golden
sunlight or autumn fields gleams
in their smoke. Camels are the
modern expression of all that is the
finest.
Camel quality and Camel excellence
are recognized wherever
modern smokers gather. Particular
smokers in this hard-to-please
age find the best of Turkish and
Domestic tobaccos blended in this
famous cigarette. They find a consistent
goodness that never fails,
no matter how liberal the smoking.
And wherever modern smokers
gather, wherever the conversation
turns to tobacco, to the world's
best, someone is sure to say:

Porter Athletic Trophy Awarded
Jointly To Famous James Twins
Every year a trophy donated by a
business firm of Birmingham, is given
to the best all-round athlete on
the Auburn campus. The election is
put on by the "A" Club, and has always
been awarded to one certain
all-round sportsman. But variety is
the spice of life and a very rare decision
was formulated by the Club
at a recent meeting. Two brothers,
twins in fact, and both on the football
team, both guards on the basketball
team, and both on the baseball
first sacker. What a likeness of ability?
And to settle the affair, it
was voted that the trophy should be
the possession of both, alike. Ebb,
the catcher, is the captain of the
1928 baseball team and Fob, the first
baseman, is the captain of the 1928
basketball team. The only thing that
one of the twins has on the other is
that Fob has been in the movies but
as no one can tell them apart, Ebb
could declare that it was he instead of
his brother. Both lads hail from Auburn,
where they starred on the teams

JONES LEADING BATTER
Jones, the slugging second baseman
of the Mechanicals, is leading the
loop in batting and also in fielding.
In twelve times at bat he has gotten
nine safe hits for a percentage of
.750. He has gotten on base every
time he has gone to bat except once,
having been hit by a pitched ball
once, and got on once on an error.
His fielding average is perfect, not
having made a single error in any of
the games thus far.
There are only three more games
in the schedule. On Friday, the
thirteenth, the Elecs hitch up with
the Architects. Two games are
scheduled for Saturday afternoon.

Tigers Lose To
Commodores, 2-1
In the second pitching duel between
"Cush" Wood and Larry Cre-son,
Vanderbilt emerged the victor
by a one run markin. For eighteen
innings these two stalwart hurlers
have faced each other and not an
earned run has been put across by
either nine. Quiet a record for both
pitchers. In the final nine innings,
"Cush" never allowed any more hits
than he did in the first, which made a
grand total of four bingles for the
tilts. But
Auburn could, not quite accomplish
her feat of the first game and only
gathered three single to her previous
five.
Tigers Start Off In Second Frame
Morey's boys took the lead in the
second setto, Ben Sankey .was the
first batter up and obtained a free
trip to the bases. Ed Allen sacrificed
him to second and when Hitchcock
hit a hot grounder to short,
Owens threw low and Brooks could
not field the ball fast enough at first
to throw Sankey out at the home
platter.
The next two innings went without
much hitting by either side. Both
pitchers were not taking any chances
and did their best every chance they
got.
Vandy Take* Lead on Wild Throw
In the fifth, Vandy obtained the
second and third unearned run of the
game. Spears walked. "Country"
Oliver bunted and Cush threw wild
over second and as Ellis let the ball
get by him in the center garden, both
runners scored.
The final four innings were uneventful
for either side. It seemed
Managers and
Assistants Elected
For manager of the football team
of next year, I take pleasure in announcing
that Hadden "Goat" Smith
will have full charge of all affairs
that come under the capacity of a
real manager. For the past three
years, "Goat," as he is best. known
has acted as trainer and water boy
on down to bat boy for all athletic
teams on the campus and has proved
himself worthy of the position awarded
to him. Assisting Smith will be
Raymond "Pup" Fayet, of Ensley,
and R. M. Hatcher, of Hartford.
Filling the post as manager of the
baseball outfit for next year Garth
"Dooley" Gilchrist, Jr. will be seen
in the front. "Dooley" was one of the
assistants during the present season
and has quite a bit of experience as
a player and as a manager. During
his Frosh year he cavorted around
the third bag but has not been capable
of ousting "Bullet" Hitchcock
from his berth on the Varsity nine.
Also "Dooley" has come forward as
cheer leader for next session and was
originator of the class colors for the
present Junior class. John Mosley
of Pensacola, Florida, who has for
the past two years managed the Fresh
baseball outfit will assist Gilchrist
along with John R. Taylor of Buffalo,
Alabama.

The Plainsmen played their last
game for the season on the.campus
last Thursday when they were one
of the principals in a three to three
tie in the second Clemson game. The
game was called at the end of the
sixth on account of rain.
Coach Morey used two pitchers
against the foe, starting out with McGhee.
This hurler went five and
two-thirds innings, allowing four hits
and three runs, and put seven Carolinians
down by the strike-out route.
Morey then substituted Moulton on
the mound in place of McGhee.
There was no individual batting
star of the" game. Auburn getting
only five hits and the visitors four.
For Clemson, Hendee, Sexton, Martin,
and Pearman, garnered a hit
each, while for Auburn, Ellis, James,
Wattwood, Akin, and Allen hit the
Clemson hurler, Gibson, for a lone
bingle each.
The Carolinians made a total of
four errors, the Plainsmen making
only two.
"Lefty" Wattwood made the only
extra base hit of the game when he
socked the apple for a two-bagger.
Two beautiful double plays were
completed by* the home team. * The

The Civils and the Ags are tied
for first place in the loop standing,
with each team having won two, and
lost none, and tied one, that with
each other. The Mechanicals are
second, and the Elecs and the Architects
are tied for the cellar position.
The Ags should win their game
Saturday against the Elecs, and the
Civils should win their game the
same time against the Architects.
Should this turn out as predicted, it
would leave them tied for first place,

"The present situation may occur
again at any time. It may be worse
as deforestation goes on. Can anything
be done to prevent it?
What is the Remedy?
"All the experts seem to agree on
one thing at least; the levees must be
improved. They must be made higher
and stronger. This in itself is a
big task. There are over fifteen
hundred miles of them. They have
cost at least a hundred million dollars.
It is not an easy job to make them
strong enough to hold in the mighty
river when it goes on a rampage.
Still it can and must be done.
"This is clearly a matter that concerns
the nation. The water comes
from thirty-one states. Year in and
year out the river bears on its bosom
a great volume of the interstate commerce.
Floods like the present one are
a national calamity.
"Congress when it meets, must face
the situation and provide liberaly the
necessary funds. The best engineering
skill of the country must be utilized
for the task. A nation which built the
Panama Canal can surely make the
Mississippi river safe for the American
people. .
"It seems reasonable to suppose that
these engineers will also find ways to
check temporarily the flow of water
into the main stream of the Mississippi.
Possibly dams and impounding
reservoirs can be built at points higher
up on its tributaries. These might
in time pay for themselves in hydro-

pegged the ball to Wattwood on
first in an effort to catch the runner
going down, but was too late. Another
Clemson runner attempted to

"New Orleans at least might be
protected by permanent spillways,
which would divert some of the water
into special channels, leading directly
to the sea.
"Whatever the details of the plan
may be when it is fully worked out,
the main point is that the remedy
must be carefully thought out on a
large scale. This must be done by the
best talent in the nation. The plan
when complete must be executed by
the one power that is able to do so
big a thing in the proper way, namely,
the national government."

Considerable changes have been
made in the coaching staffs of three
of Auburn's opponents on the gridiron
next year. Down at Tulane,
head Coach Shaughnessy has turned
in his resignation, although he had
signed a contract as head coach for
ten years. The slip in the contract
lies in the clause that he had the
privilege of resigning within the
next two years. As coach at Tulane,
Shaughnessy turned out several All-
Southern Greenies. Notable among
these are "Peggy" Flournoy, who was
given the National cup for being the
most valuable man to his team; and
"Irish" Milton Levy, husky guard
that played against Auburn's Tigers'
for three years. It will take a good
man to keep the Greenies on the level
on which Shaughnessy has placed
them.

As a result of graduation this
year, Auburn will lose only three Varsity
baseballers. These are Captain
Joe Wallis, right-fielder; Ed Allen,
second baseman; and Pat Moulton,
pitcher. By graduation, the limit
of playing the game is meant as only
Wallis will handle the Sheep skin.
These students have played the game
and played it well. Their presence
will be sorely missed next season but
there are a number of rookies ready
to give the best they have. Let's
hope that out of the throngs, three
players will be found as good as those
bidding us adieu.

PROTECTION I
WITH the increasing use of electricity,
circuits are becoming larger and larger.
Only three or four years ago, a 2,000 or 3,000
ampere breaker was considered "good size."
Now we think nothing of building a 6,000 or
8,000 ampere 3 pole Circuit Breaker with all
the I-T-E features.
Currents of this magnitude need the very best
possible form of protection, because a short
circuit of 100,000 amperes is a possible occurrence.
In fact, a "short" may attain a peak
of twice that; and then some!
Ask any Consulting or Electrical Engineer
what I-T-E Circuit Breakers are. He knows
them intimately. He no doubt specifies them
on all his installations. He knows there is no
type of electrical protective device that does a
better job—consistently, and at less money.
