Staples Speaks
To Kiwanians
Prof. R. H. Staples of the Archi-tectual
department addressed the
weekly meeting of the Auburn Ki-wanis
club last Monday during
their luncheon at the Thomas Ho­tel.
Prof. John W. Roe of the Lan­guage
Department, had charge of
the program and introduced Prof.
Staples at the beginning of his
talk. The lecture was on "The
Modern Trend of Art" and in­cluded
an interesting exhibit of
paintings to illustrate the talk.
Several free-hand drawings were
done by Prof. Staples during the
talk to further illustrate hi?
points.
After the lecture, the club bus­iness
was taken up. Prof. Burke
president-elect of the Kiwanis
Club, made a report on the state­wide
convention that was held in
Mobile recently. The club also en-uorsea
unanimously the projec
started by Mrs. H. B. Peacock,
chairman, committee for beautifi-cation
of highways, to widen the
highway between here and Ope-lika.
Dr. C. S. Davis was present at
the meeting for the first time as
a regular member. He was recent­ly
taken into the club.
Eta Kappa Nu Taps
Eight Juniors
In Electrical
Formal Tapping Is To Take
Place On November 1 At
An Eta Kappa Nu Smoker
Eight of the top-ranking mem­bers
of the junior class in electri­cal
engineering were tapped for
membership at a recent meeting
of Eta Kappa Nu, national hon­orary
electrical engineering fra­ternity.
Those named from the junior
class for this signal honor are
William Miller Boggs Jr., Selma;
James William Cowen, Elba;
Frank Beasley Gunter, Phehix
City; Clarence LeRoy Mershon,
Fairhope; Carl Clifton Motley,
Autaugaville; and Dawson Hope
Mullen Jr., Birmingham; all of
the preceding being non-frater­nity
men. In addition, William
Brooks Carroll, member of Delta
Sigma Phi from Birmingham, and
Henry Edward Mohns, member of
Kappa Sigma from Atlanta, Ga.,
were tapped.
Seniors elected at a previous
meeting were John Lorenzo Phil­lips
Jr., a non-fraternity man from
Birmingham; George Shumaker,
member of Sigma Nu social fra­ternity
from Florence, Tau Beta
Pi pledge, Scabbard and Blade
member, and lieutenant colonel in
R. O. T. C; and Ben Shirley

Beta Pi and a member of Phi Del­ta
Theta social fraternity.
Prof. Woodrow Darling, instruc­tor
in electrical engineering, was
also honored by election to mem­bership
in Eta Kappa Nu.
Xi Chapter of Eta Kappa Nu
was established at Auburn in
1920. This national professional
fraternity of electrical engineers
was founded at the University of
Illinois in 1904, the purpose be­ing
to bring into union for mu­tual
benefit these men in the pro­fession
of electrical engineering
who, by their attainments in col­lege
or in practice, have manifes­ted
a deep interest and a marked
ability in their work. Members
are selected from the junior and
senior class.
Members include R. E. Ledfoet-ter,
president, Eugene M. Knight,
vice president, Clayton Merrell,
secretary, George V. Stelzenmul-ler,
treasurer, Richard L. Wat-kins,
William E. Benns, and W.
J. Brennan.
On Nov. 1 all these men will be
formally tapped at a smoker to
be given in their honor by the
members of Eta Kappa Nu. All
freshmen and sophomores in elec­trical
engineering are cordially in­vited
to attend.

Herndon McGehee Wins Cup
Of Delta Sigma Pi
Delta Sigma Pi's freshman sch­olarship
cup was awarded to
Herndon McGehee last week at the
special convocation for business
students in Langdon Hall.
The presentation was made to
McGehee, whose average for his
freshman year was 95.69, by Dean
John W. Scott who highly coni-plemented
the award winner on
"his most remarkable record."
Dean Scott expressed the belief
that this was the highest aver­age
ever to be attained in his bus­iness
department.
The cup is presented each year
by the business and professional
fraternity to the sophomore who
during his freshman" year had the
highest average.
The award was followed by the
second in a series of lectures
sponsored by Delta Sigma Pi for
business students. The speaker was
Ed Reed, executive seceretary of
the Alabama League of Munici­palities,
whose subject involved
the relationship of government to
business.
GETTY FAIRCHILD, shifted
from fullback to center at the
beginning of the current season,
is pushing Morgan hard for the
starting position. He is in on
every play and is a fine diag­nostician
of plays.
Rally And Parade
Held Wednesday
Several hundred Auburnites met
on the steps of Langdon Hall
Wednesday night to give the foot­ball
team a big send-off for the
trip to Houston.
Pepmaster Charlie O'Reilly led
the crowd to Toomer's corner,
where a parade formed behind the
great Auburn band. Students and
townspeople marched with the
band down College Street and
back to Langdon Hall.
In the auditorium the pep squad
led several yells, and the band
played two numbers. O'Reilly in­troduced
Coach Jack Meagher,
who spoke for a few minutes
minutes, promising that in spite of
what happened in the remaining
five games, Auburn "will be
proud of its team at the end of
the season."
Spec Kelly, Ralph O'Gwynne,
and Captain Bo Russell each said
a few words thanking the students
for their support and promising
to "give Rice hell."
The band played "Alma Mat­er,"
following which O'Reilly
closed the rally with three ap­propriate
"War Eagles."

Tigers Will Clash
With Rice Owls
In Houston
Auburn Will Face Tough
Brand Of Football In Tilt
With Rice Institute Team
By Boots Stratford
Southeastern and Southwestern
Conferences meet tomorrow in
Houston, Texas, with those trav­eling
Tigers from the Loveliest
Village representing the merits of
the Southeast, and with the Owls
of Rice Institute as the exponent
of the brand of ball that the
Southwest plays. And that brand
of ball is hailed as the roughest,
toughest and most wide open type
of football in the nation by the
almost unanimous vote of that
learned gentry: the spouts editors
of these United States. Ernie Lain,
who is likened unto a rampaging
Texas longhorn steer by the Owl's
publicity department, is another
reason why Rice should afford the
Plainsmen an extremely busy af­ternoon's
work.
Lain Is Brilliant Rice Flayer
This Lain, who tips the beams
at a mere 230 after a hard day's
practice, is given the spot of num­ber
one All-American of the coun­try
by Liberty magazine and he
has justified this praise by the
consistently brilliant play and
fighting spirit that he has Shown
in Rice's grid battles so far this
season. He was injured last week
when the Owls beat Texas U.,
but he will probably be in there
ready to tee off against Auburn
tomorrow afternoon.
The Auburn football team will
return home by train Sunday
night at 7:55. The hand and the
cheerleaders will lead the re­ception
and everybody is urg­ed
to be on hand at the station
to give those Tigers a rousing
welcome.
The Owl array presents another
great back in.Cordill, whose ability
has been somewhat obscured by
the brilliant spotlight of publicity
that has been concentrated " on
Lain. CorduTs supports claim that
he is even better than Lain, and
that it is he who mops up the
would be tacklers and allows Lain
to break into the clear on his
spectacular runs.
Tigers In Good Shape
Auburn came out of the Tech
game disappointed but not down
hearted. They will be ready to
shoot the works at Rice, and in the
words of Coach Meagher and Cap­tain
Bo' Russell, they "will give
Rice hell." The Plainsmen are in
about the best physical shape pos­sible
and if they ever start click­ing,
they stand a good chance of
avenging themselves of last year's
13-7 setback.
Spec Kelly should be ready to
do a little traveling, and with
Dick McGowen as the most cap­able
of replacements, the Tiger
aittack should function to its high­est
degree of efficiency. Fresh
from his magnificent performance
against Tech, the "Baby Face As­sassin,"
to wit, Bo Russell, will
be ready to display his murderous
tackle play to the Owls. And the
rest of his team mates will be
right in there with him.
Coach Jack Meagher would
rather win the Rice tilt than any
other on the Tiger schedule, and
we believe that his boys will win
this one for him.
Rice is rugged, but we believe
that those grea| Auburn Tigers
are just a little bit more so.
Rugged Guard
S^eOETTS 3/HtTH
EVERETT SMITH has been on
the squad for two years and his
third year should be the best.
While he hasn't played in many
games, he plays a rugged game
at guard.
YWCA Hears Speaker Talk
On "Building Personality"
The theme of the YWCA prog­ram
for last Monday night was
"Building Personality." Special
emphasis was placed on the im­portance
of building a desirable
personality while on the campus.
Mrs. Hugh Francis was the
speaker of the evening, and her
subject was "Personality, Its
Meaning and Development." Fol­lowing
her talk Mrs. Francis led
an informal discussion of indivi­dual
problems.
At the close of the meeting the
social committee served refresh­ments.
Review To Be Held
For DAR President
Mrs. Henry M. Roberts Jr., An­napolis,
Md., president general of
the National Society Daughters of
the American Revolution will be
the guest of honor at a review by
the cadet corps of the Alabama
Polytechnic Institute on Tuesday
morning, Nov. 1.
Following the review President
L. N. Duncan will further honor
Mrs. Robert by making her an
honorary colonel of the unit.
Mrs: ZSbuIoh • Judd, Auburn,
past national vice president gene
ral, D. A. R., states that a visit
to the two CCC camps near Au
burn, Camp Samford and that at
Chewacla State Park, will be
made by Mrs. Robert on Tuesday
afternoon. Later in the afternoon
she will be the guest of honor at
a tea at 3:30 to be held at the
home of Dr. and Mrs. L. N. Dun­can.
At noon Mrs. Robert and out-of-
town guests will attend a lun­cheon
at the home of Dr. and
Mrs. Judd.
Mrs. G. W. S. Musgrave, Laur­el,
Md., high-ranking D. A. R.
officer, will accompany Mrs. Ro­bert
to Auburn.
Petrie Addresses
Kiwanis Club
The fact that Japan is winning
the undeclared war with China
and that Fascist nations in Eu­rope
have not been checked bring
certain definite dangers to the
United States, said Dr. George
Petrie, Auburn's head professor
of history, in an address here this
weeK before the Auburn Kiwanis
Club at the Thomas Hotel.
Japan's success in the Far East
definitely threatens the United
States, in the Phillippines, Haw­aii,
and Alaska, he declared. In
case of war, Dr. Petrie believes
that the position of the United
States in the Phillippines would
be untenable. Moreover, it is en­tirely
possible that the United
States would need a second fleet
to protect the Panama Canal from
the Pacific side.
There is no doubt, continued thj
speaker, but that democracy i:
now on trial in Europe and is
definitely under pressure in the
United States. Disorders in Europe
and Asia will result in the nece
sity of higher taxes here for in­creased
armaments. In case of
war in other parts of the world,
certain restrictions will probably
be placed on radio, the press, and
on teaching in the United States.
Disorders in Europe and the
Far East also offer a threat to
our foreign trade in South Amer­ica,
said Dr. Petrie. It is a fact, he
pointed out, that the people in
Latin America are distinctly "La­tin"
in their traditions and ideas
of government. For this reason
they offer a fertile field for the
establishment of Fascist ideals.

Total Enrollment
Now 3,005
Breaking ot enrollment records
at Alabama Polytechnic Institute
has become so common as to no
longer make news. However, there
should be some interest in the fact
that for the first time in its his­tory
college records now show
more than 3,000 students enroll­ed
at one time. To be exact, the
figure is 3,005.
Records in the accountant's of­fice
show this number. However,
records in the registrar's office
disclose that 15 of this total are
nursery school pupils and should
not be included in the regular col­lege
enrollment. Ten more regu­lar
college students are needed
then before the semester ends to
bring the total above 3,000.
Whether or not we accept the
registrar's or the accountant's in­terpretation
of the enrollment,
Registrar Charles W. Edwards is
confident that the needed ten stu­dents
will enroll. Students may
still receive credit in special cour­ses,
and as many as ten more can
be expected.
Women students show the great­er
percentage of increase over
previous school years. At present
the number of regularly enrolled
co-eds is 450 with 6 nursery school
enrollments to bring the total to
456. Last fall women numbered
375, making an increase of approx­imately
22 per cent.
Of these students 170 are in Ed­ucation,
132 in Home Economics,
98 in Science and Literature, 37
in Architecture and Applied Arts,
9 in Chemistry and Pharmacy, 2
in Agriculture and one each in
Engineering and Veterinarian
Medicine.
For the entire college the En­gineering
School leads with 716,
closely followed by Science and
Literature, 602. Other schools
show: Education, 570, Agriculture,
381, Chemistry and Pharmacy,
259, Veterinarian Medicine, 198,
Home Economics, 132, and Archi­tecture
and Applied Arts, 128.

Why I Like Horses
Because of their beauty, which delights
my eyes.
Because of their strength, which bears me
as lightly as a feather upon their backs.
Because of their speed, which carries me
from here to there and back again.
Because of their intelligence, which enab­les
them to understand my wishes and to
execute them promptly and joyfully.
Because of their docility, which allows me
to rush, shouting, into their stalls at any
hour of the day and night and pick up their
feet with impunity.
And—most of all—because of their frag­rance,
which permeates my clothing and
makes me a marked man in any company.
For some time the Plainsman has been
thinking of conducting a "You Be The Edi­tor"
poll by which every student who cared
to express his opinion about the paper and the
features appearing therein could do so. We
have also been thinking of conducting a poll
to determine how the student body feels
about this business of the Auburn Spirit and
its perpetuation.
At the suggestion of several Auburn spirit
enthusiasts the Plainsman, in cooperation
with Pep Manager Bill Troup, will Monday
conduct a poll to determine the feeling of
the students towards the Plainsman and the
features in it and to discover how they view
the organization of a Tiger Club on the Au­burn
campus.
The purposes of the Tiger Club will be
threefold: first, to maintain and perpetuate
the Auburn Spirit by working in cooperation
with the cheerleaders and the pep manager;
second, to work with the school officials and
aid them in their problems relating to school
spirit and student conduct; third, in general
to supervise the activities of the freshmen.
Suggested membership of the Tiger Club
is of pyramided nature: six seniors, five jun­iors,
and four sophomores. The "A" Club is
to choose the six seniors, looking toward
choosing men who are outstanding as far as
agressiveness and school spirit are concern­ed.
Then these six men will in turn select
the juniors, and they the sophomores.
No two members of a fraternity may be
in a class group. That is, in the senior group
of six there shall be no two men belonging
to the same social fraternity.
The club is to be perpetual in nature, the
retiring members making the selection of
members, as is the case in nearly all cam­pus
organizations.
At the end of the year the seniors shall
use their discretion in deciding whether or
not a sophomore shall advance to junior
membership or junior to senior. This provi­sion
gives the club the power to weed out
men who are not in accord with the activi­ties
of the organization.
Members of the club are to be recognized
by a key and a blue and orange pep hat.
In our minds there is much that can be
done with such an organization. It could as­sist
in organizing the freshman cheering
and in conducting organized freshman pep
activities. It could greatly aid in the current
rat cap situation and eould aid the pep man­ager
and cheerleaders in carrying out pep
rallies.
Balloting Monday will take place at the
Main Gate, and the ballot wil have on it a
statement of the purposes and organization
of the proposed Tiger Cub and the question:
"Are you in favor of the formation of a
Tiger Club as outlined above?"
The "You Be The Editor" section of the
ballot will enable Plainsman readers to give

23. THE FOLLOWING DITTY
composed some years ago and, in­cidentally,
never published. Read
it and you, too, will understand.
A missionary, Thomas Campbell,
Into the Congo took a ramble;
He made his way to a thriving
town
And tried to put the devil down.
One day the wife of the village
chief
Had no mutton, pork, or beef;
She knocked old Campbell for a
loop,
And the chiefitian's folks had
Campbell soup.

111. WHEN SHERMAN SAID,
"War is hell," he told us about
the what of war. Did "a man call­ed
Cercantes" offer an explana­tion
of the why of it when he
depicted one Don Quixote's en­counter
with a great army—an
army which in the eyes of Sancho
Panza was only a flock of sheep?
Of course, Sancho was a realist.
He saw what he saw, not what
someone told him he should see.
These realists are such unroman-tic

52. THE GREAT STRENGTH
OF the Deal family, whence
springs Rufus, freshman guard, is
hinted at by this most accurate
tale: One day, on being in a state
of slight irritation, Rufus' broth­er,
Dwight, with bare foot, kay-oed
a mule; whereupon Rufus tot­ed
the mule up to the barn, laid
it in a wagon, and pulled the
wagon into town to the veterina­rian.
All of which—and more—
leads us to predict for Rufus Deal
a not unbright future as a full-fledged
Tiger.

776. THIS COLUMN (UNDER
A DIFFERENT NAME) has allud­ed
before to Dale Carnegie. We
take this opportunity merely to
disagree with (not to offend) Mar­tin
Wender, whose letter com­mending
Mr. Carnegie to the col­lege
officials appeared in last
Tuesday's Plainsman.
We do not believe that Car­negie
has any place on an Auburn
schedule of entertainment. We be­lieve
that the American political
and economic systems are kept
in the air by too much super-salesmanship
already.
Furthermore, whenever we read
some lines from Dale Carnegie
we think of an aging phrase: "No
matter how thin you slice it, it's
still baloney."

725. A SURPLUS OF COLD

that—we meant to say, wander­lust.
It is practically the same

ALABAMA AND HER PROBLEMS
Own Your Textbooks
"Own your own textbooks" would be a
good slogan for Auburn students. A student
cannot do himself justice if he does not. He
seriously decreases his chances of passing if
he depends upon borrowed books for his
study.
Everyone knows of cases where three and
four students are using the same text. It is
unfair to parents who pay four and five
hundred dollars for a student's education
for students to court failure by not owning
textbooks.
The personal ownership of textbooks is
good insurance and good investment. Of
course, ownership does not mean mastery of
the contents. But ownership will help and
might save what might otherwise be a loss.

Dear Sir:
Is an Auburn team beaten after
another team has scored 7 points
against them? We don't think so
but the CHEERLEADERS do.
If you were at the game Satur­day
you probably noticed, after
Tech scored, all the cheer leaders
did was look at the game with a
down-hearted look in their faces.
They made no effort to lead the
stands in cheers.
In our section of the stands a
number of cheers were started by
the students and the cheer lead­ers
offered no help whatsoever to
put them over. The only help
came from one of the drummers
in the band. No matter where a
cheer was started you soon heard
the beat of the drum. We think
the drummer did more for the
cheering than any of the cheer
leaders.
We have all heard of the Au­burn
spirit being let down by stu­dents
this year but now we think
the cheer leaders let us down in­stead
of the student body.

By Benjamin Russell, President
The Alabama State Chamber of Commerce
The subject assigned to me of "Alabama and Her Problems" is
one which can hardly be touched on in a brief editorial but rather
one to which we might devote a year's study with great profit to
ourselves and our state.
The problems of Alabama and the South have recently been
the subject of numerous reports, books, and studies. These prob­lems,
recently discovered by some, have long been understood by
many leaders in our state but too little has been done toward their
solution. If these reports and books reveal nothing new, they still
may serve a purpose if by them and the resulting publicity, our
own people can be spurred to a concerted effort to solve such prob­lems.
Alabama is a state rich in natural resources and advantages
which are known to all, but these resources and advantages have
not been utilized as they should have been. Hence the problems
which confront us today. We have long been a state "rich in pos­sibilities,
but we remain comparatively poor in reality.
Many Reasons For Alabama's Low Income And Buying Power
There are many reasons or contributing factors for our present
status of very low income and buying power. The Reconstruction
Period is one most frequently mentioned, and certainly this period
had its effect when we consider that it was about 1910 before the
total taxable value of all property in Alabama reached what it was
in 1860.
The protective tariff under which the South has bought its goods
in a protected market and sold its one cash crop (cotton) in an un­protected
market is another factor.
Unfair freight rates which have prevailed, lack of local capi­tal,
discriminatory legislation, waste of our lands, one crop system
of agriculture, and many other factors could be considered as con­tributing
to our present problems.
Alabama is 72 per cent rural in population, as compared with
less than 7 per cent in the New England states and a national ave­rage
of 44 per cent. The significance of these figures is the fact
that annual income runs much higher in those states where industrial
development has afforded payroll opportunities to a larger number
of the rural population than it does In Alabama.
Alabama's Wealth Contrasted With Ohio's
Contrast, for example, the wealth of a state like Ohio, which
has many industries, with that of Alabama, which has relatively
few in comparison: Ohio has 40,740 square miles. The wealth of that
state is estimated at $18,489,522,000. Ohio adds annually to her
wealth by manufacturing the sum of $1,576,176,000. The value of
her farm property is estimated at $2,236,902,000. Alabama has 51,-
279 square miles—about 11,000 more than Ohio, which is itself
equal to the size of a Nev? England state. Alabama has an estimated
wealth of $3,002,000,000. And Alabama's farm property is valued at
only $611,301,000. The reason for this difference in favor of Ohio
does not lie in the superior ability of the Ohio farmer. It lies in the
fact that while industrial workers In Ohio are piling up over 1 1-2
billion dollars annually by manufacturing, Alabama, for the lack of
opportunity, is adding only a scant $151,050,000.
Additional Industries Alabama's Greatest Need
Development and expansion of manufacturing activities are
the quickest and most effective force in stimulating permanent com­munity
growth and prosperity. A much desired balance between
agriculture and industry is needed for real prosperity and increased
purchasing power. Hence the Alabama State Chamber of Commerce
adopted as Its slogan "Supplement Farm with Factory." Increased
farm income from livestock and diversified farming can and should
be sought. Cash markets fdr farm products should be developed. Our
forest resources should be conserved and reforestation encouraged.
Our transportation facilities developed and maintained. Our recrea­tional
facilities developed and tourist trade sought. All these tilings
are important, but our greatest need is additional industries in Ala­bama.
We must set up, from within and from without, more and more
diversified industries providing employment for Alabama people,
laying stress on the particular kind of industries that would take
the raw material in the location where produced and process and
refine it for consumer use.
Alabama needs to produce more of the things it consumes and
to consume more of the things it produces.
Certainly no group should be more interested in development of
Alabama than Alabama college students being trained for citizen­ship
and business in an Alabama institution supported by taxes of
Alabama citizens.
Migration Of Tooth Sooth's Greatest Loss
The greatest loss the South is suffering today is from the move­ment
of its youth to other sections. In this loss Alabama shares.
Almost one-fourth of all persons born in Alabama have gone else­where
to live. An examination of the 1930 census discloses 311,587
persons residing in Alabama who were born in other states and
691,618 persons of Alabama birth living in other states. Thus Ala­bama
suffered a net loss of 380,031 persons in the movement of its
native citizens beyond the boundaries of the state. In this shift
the rural areas lost more in proportion than the cities.
In losing such a considerable percentage of our population to
other sections, we are losing young blood that is sorely needed for
our state's upbuilding. The vast majority of those who emigrate are
the most ambitious and promising of our youth, who have been
educated in our schools and colleges at the expense of taxpayers and
then forced to seek opportunity elsewhere. Thus are we contribut­ing
our young people to create wealth for these other sections.
This condition would bring home to all public-spirited citizens of
Alabama the urgent need for further state development along all
lines. To keep our talented young men and women in their native
state, we must see that Alabama offers them in equal measure,
equal opportunity to that which they can find elsewhere.
With these things in mind Alabama business men, industria­lists,
and leading citizens in every field have set up the Alabama
State Chamber of Commerce and more than a thousand of them
have made membership investments in this organization. Alabama's
problems must be solved by Alabama citizens who through coope­rative
effort can transform her possiblities and advantages into
realities, wealth and opportunity for "you and other Alabamians who
will follow you.
Before Tomorrow
By John Godbold
LAST YEAR, December 10, to
be exact, there appeared in the
Column "News and Views" by the
same author a brief paragraph en­titled
"The 1937 Psalm."
Since that paragraph was writ­ten
a lot of water has passed un­der
the bridge. President Roose­velt
has done some things, which,
perhaps, he should not have done.
He has made statements which
were better left unsaid. Be these
things as they may, the words of
that "1937 Psalm" are, to us, as
true today as when they were
written almost a year ago.
At the request of several read­ers
we repeat, "The Psalm of 19-
37."
Yea a time of great famine and
want fell upon the land. The peo­ple
cried out in their need for
they knew not whither to go and
their leaders could no longer lead
them. So from all corners of the
land the people cast their ballots
for a leader, yea, they cast them
till verily the land did slide, and
they said unto their new leader,
"Save us for we know not whither
to go."
Wherefore, he led them from
the paths of destruction and suf­fering.
But when he had guided
them out of their wilderness they
turned upon him and cast stones
at him, saying, "Thou squander­ed
too many of our shekels in
saving us. Thou should have sav­ed
us without spending any of our
substance. Surely we will not re­pay."
Each man whispered to his
representative in the court, "Sure­ly
this unworthy man might have
saved us without wasting our gold
and silver. You must not make
us repay."
And the courtesans gave heed,
but all over the land the wise
raen smiled at the foolhardiness of
the people.

IN A GEORGIA TOWN the
sheriff has had to lock the door
of the jail to keep a prisoner out.
Not long ago an itinerant prea­cher
was jailed there for disturb­ing
the peace with a loud-speak­er
system on his automobile.
Immediately, controvery began
raging throughout the town as to
whether or not the preacher should
have been arrested. In order ito
stop the quarrels the sheriff offer­ed
the prisoner his freedom, but
the culprit refused to leave the
jail. The officer ordered him to
leave, but the prisoner's response
was to go on an "I won't eat"
strike.
There in jail the fellow lan­guished
until the sheriff lured
him outside of the building on a
pretext and then locked the doors
so he couldn't get back in.

AT CAYCE, in the southwestern
tip of Kentucky, last week Sena­tor
Barkley unveiled a stone
marker to John Luther Jones, the
Illinois Central engineer who was
killed near Vaughn, Miss., April
30, 1900, when his crack cannon-ball
train of twelve cars crashed
into a standing freight.
Jones stayed in his cab to save
his passengers and died. He told
the negro fireman to jump. That
fireman, Sim Webb, was in Cayce
to recall the famous order attribut­ed
to Jones:
Jump, Sim, jump;
There's two locomotives
A-going to bump.
The ballad, said to have been
begun by two negro engine wipers
in a round house and still the sub­ject
of addition and variation, has
almost made Casey legendary.
The two longest moving stair­ways

two "magic carpets"—great rings
seemingly unsupported in space—
slowly revolving in opposite di­rections
one above the other. From
the "carpets" they will look down
upon a model "City of Tomorrow"
and its environs, viewing it from
noon to night in all its beauty of
color, its lights and its changing
shadows.

Pitt, Notre Dame
Tops In Football
Sturdy Pitt and Notre Dame
remained at the top of football's
great during one of the wildest
week-ends of upsets since Rut­gers
and Princeton started the
game back in 1869.
Those upsets were reflected by
the lowest Williamson efficiency
on a mid-season week since it be­gan
rating football teams. The
System made an over-all efficien­cy
of 85.2 per cent on 307 games,
including late scores from the
week before.
The week's record on 307 games
included 36 decided upsets, 11 un­expected
ties, 11 anticipated ties
and 27 upsets which were not
violently opposed to the rating.
The System correctly predicted
half of the week's tie games.
By losing to a strong Georgia
Tech eleven, the Auburn Tigers
dropped down in Williamson's
rating for this week. The Plains­men
were ranked no. 30 among the
teams of the nation.
Following is a list of the first
15 teams ranked by Williamson:
1. Pitt 2. Notre Dame 3. Santa

Something New Every Day
Vols In Complete Control
Of Conference Football
After Last Week's Play
The Tennessee Volunteers, a-lone
in the undefeated and untied
ranks, moved into complete com­mand
of the battle-scarred foot­ball
forces of the Southeastern
Conference after last week's play.
Victorious in five games and
leading the conference champion­ship
race with three triumphs,
Tennessee had survived the
gruelling early season campaign,
which last Saturday saw Vander­bilt
and Georgia toppled from the
select group possessing unmarred
records.
There are eight games on the
program for this week-end in the
league, with the Tennessee-L. S.
U. engagement topping the list.
The game is to be played in Knox-ville.
The intersectional contest be
tween Auburn and Rice, to be
played in Houston, promises to
be a bang-up affair, with ithe Ben­gals
out to seek revenge for last
year's defeat.
Two other intersectional duel
are on the slate, Mississippi, go
ing to Washington for an engage
ment with George Washington,
and Florida invading Boston for a
combat with Boston College.
The Crimson Tide should have
little trouble in subduing the
Kentucky Wildcats in Lexington,
and Sewannee will have her hands
full with Tennessee Tech.
Another headline scrap is the
battle between Georgia Tech and
Vanderbilt, which is to take place
in Nashville. And the fracas be­tween
Tulane and Mississippi
State in New Orleans will be a
formidable affair, with the Green
Wave ruling the favorite.

League Standings
In Football Given
By Herbert Martin Jr.
The ATO's, after scoring twice
in the first minute of play, were
tied yesterday in touch football by
a fighting PiKA team which tal­lied
in the second and third quar­ters
to nullify the ATO's early
lead. The final score was 13 to
13. As ties must be played off, the
two teams will meet soon to de­termine
the winner. In the event
the PiKA's win, these teams must
clash' again for the championship
of League I.
In League II, the Sigma Nu's
scored in the second period yes­terday
and added the extra point
to defeat the Phi Delta Theta's
7 to 0. This victory cinched the
crown for the Sigma Nu's, who
finished with a record of four wins
in as many games.
The Kappa Sig's whipped .the
Theta Kappa Nu's 46 to 0 t6 in
crease their lead in League III. A
victory in the coming game with
the Theta Chi's will give them
four straight wins and first place
in the league. The KA's and the
Ox boys are very much in the
race, and if the Kappa Sig's are
beaten, these teams will be in a
three-way tie.
The SPE bunch has annexed
the crown in League IV with four
victories and no defeats.
In the independent division
Thach has gained first place in
League I with three wins in as
many starts.
Wittel, with victories in the first
two games, leads League II. Wit­tel
is to face the Dudley team as
soon as a date can be arranged.
League III has been a little
slow in getting underway, and at
present the Carr Hall bunch, win­ners
of the first game, leads this
league.
Rew's Wildcats, with two wins
and no set-backs, are trying to
get a straight hold on the first
place in League IV.
In the recent intercollegiate
tilt between the ATO's of Au­burn
and Emory, the Emory
boys emerged at the paying end
of a 13 to 0 score. Emory stu­dents
said this was their first
intercollegiate football game in
years.

Are Outstanding In Play
For Auburn Team
By Boots Stratford
Georgia Tech was a well-directed
and well-coached
team Saturday in Atlanta, and
they won a tough ball game
because of this factor, defeat­ing
the Auburn Tigers, 7 to
6.
Hawk Cavette deserves high
praise because of his magnificient
kicking, Billy Gibson should be
lauded for his hard running, and
Bobby Beers was a vital factor
in Tech's victory over Auburn
with his beautiful run on the op­ening
play of the game and then
of course his nicely faked touch­down
pass. However, these things
would have come to naught be­fore
the charge of a battling Ben­gal
eleven but for the presence of
one Howard Ector, an unspectacu­lar
fullback who calls the plays
and who knows how to run a
football team.
Tigers Show Up Well, Too
But let us look at Auburn's side
of the picture. There was one
break that seemed to mean the
difference between a win and a
loss to the Bengals, for it occur-ed
just before the Yellow Jacket's
touchdown toss. At that point it
was fourth down and about one
foot to go for a first down. Tech
made a line plunge, or at least
an attempt at one, for the Jacket
tailback ran into a solid wall of
his own players that had been
straightened up by the Auburn
forwards, and was downed for
what was apparently a yard or so
loss. Now that may sound like
sour grapes, but that's the way
the play looked like from the
stands and that's the way it look­ed
in the movies the night after
the game. And it was definitely
the turning point of the game as
was proved by later events.
Russell, McGowen, Kelly Good
Outstanding were the achieve­ments
of Captain Bo Russell,
Speck Kelly and Dick McGowen.
Russell was brilliant and savage
in tearing into the Jacket's inter­ference
and often times he
brought down both interferer and
ball carrier at one fell swoop.
Getty Fairchild at center and
Charlie Haynsworth at fullback
both played a whale of a game,
especially on defense, where they
constantly made bone-jarring
tackles.
Diminutive Johnny Davis en­gineered
Auburn's touchdown
drive, which carried 80 yards,
with McGowen supplying the
drive that carried the ball down
to Tech's three yard line. There
the Golden Tornado held for
three downs and Jack Meagher
sent into the fray Charlie Hayns­worth
and Osmo Smith with a
play to be executed. The play
was a pass and it was completed
for a touchdown. And thereby
lies a tale, the most thrilling epi­sode
of the game. Smith took the
ball from Fairchild and drifted
back to about the ten, there a host
of Tech linemen burst through on
him and one of them attached
himself fondly, albeit firmly, a-bout
Osmo's neck. Osmo stagger­ed,
then starightened up and des-peratively
threw the ball. Hayns­worth,
waiting on the two, lean­ed
forward to make a shoe string
catch, then whirled and, with a
determined plunge, shot across the
goal line. His teammates embrac­ed
him and pounded him on the
back but their exultation was
short lived for a minute later An­derson
broke through to block the
try for extra point, and when he
dashed the flying pigskin to the
ground he dashed the hopes of a
gallant Auburn Tiger to the
ground with it, for the game end­ed
shortly after as Tech inter­cepted
an Auburn pass.

Sahara Simoon To
Be Shown At Tiger
When earth, air and water all
let go at once in a terrific Sahara
simoon in 20th Century-Fox's
spectacular "Suez," audiences at
the Tiger Theater will get an e-motional
wallop seldom equalled
on the screen.
The zobab-hah, or devil-wind,
is a desert hurricane of savage
violence. Raging across the dunes,
it whips up huge clouds of sand
as it travels. The force of the blast
changes the terrain miraculously,
piling up mountains of sand
where once were valleys, com­pletely
obliterating caravan rou­tes
and even wiping out many of
the pitifully few oases.
This ferocious wind was Nature's
greatest weapon of defense in the
battle waged upon her by the a-mazing
Ferdinand de Ltfsseps, the
man who literally tore continents

Want to dedicate para 1 to those
most recent addicts of frenzied
swing—ATO's, and latest is all
about their cute little Charles
Scott, who sez if he's elected pres­ident
of freshman class, he'll
stand and vow for: (1) "Desert
Song" to replace Alma Mater (2)
mesh hose for all co-eds (3) non­profit
wholesale theme-writers.
More.
Raymond DeArmond, Executive
Cabinet candydate, class of '51, is
declaring on the plank of: (1) free
dances every Sat. night (2) r e ­building
Windmill back of Gym,
(3) free special bus to Monteval-lo
every week end. More.
The SAE's are running George
"Tarzan" Austin, who, if elected
president of ye freshman class,
promises: (1) pink caps with
white lace and blue ribbons for
the seniors (2) a goodly supply
of jitterjuice for each student be­fore
every game (3) to help with
fund for elevator for watertank
and dancing pavilion on top.
My friend and your friend and
lots of girls' friend, Lambda Chi's
candydate, for the same, Charles
Flowers, is authorating a song en­titled
"A Study in Pink and Blue
and Green and White and Red."
Jane Mayberry has a brand new
way of regal-airing the way for
her string of casanovas who -are
not all what think she's swell.
And don't we f emmes simply adore
hearing Flop Price ghost-storying
—anyway, it's one more excuse for
cuddlin close to those cute shoul­ders.
A gud reason for the in­crease
in population around the
Art Dept. is Verna Jack, one of
those cream-puffy types who's
every fait as good as she looks.

don't rely too much on that.

Glomerata
Advertisers
Dedicated to the "Pause That
Refreshes," the Glomerata in this
issue extends it compliments to
the Opelika Coca-Cola Bottling
Company, another in the parade
of outstanding advertisers appear­ing
in the 1939 yearbook.
The Opelika Coca-Cola Bottling
Company opened its new plant in
May 1938, to serve people in Ope­lika
and vicinity with the bottled
drink that leads all others in the
naition in popularity. The plant is
said to be as modern and well
equipped as any bottling plant in
the south, embodying all the lat­est
improvements in bottling ma­chinery,
and designed to give the
greatest degree of cleanliness and
sanitary precautions. Throughout
the entire bottling operation the
bottles are not touched by hand
until they are filled and capped.
Every possible measure is taken
to insure a completely pure
drink.
The plant is under the efficient
management of Mr. Curtis Rob­erts
Jr., assisted by an able staff
of trained operators who know
how to put the best into their nat­ionally
known product.
Operating two trucks, the Ope­lika
plant serves a wide territory
in this immediate section, includ­ing
Opelika, Auburn, Loachapo-ka,
Notasulga, Marvyn, Salem,
Beulah, Bartlett's Ferry, Cusseta,
Waverly, and intermediate points.
your column. And don't back up so
far—scared to sign your name
under that slouchy series of nasty
digs? For benefit of the girl who
calls herself "Fruitcake"—your
remark at the gym was overheard
—tout also overlooked on aocounta
it's been rumored that the excess
amount of nuts you eat make you
non-responsible.
Collection Of Watercolors
And Prints On Display
An exhibit of 25 prints and
watercolors by members of the
Art Students League of New York
will be on display at the Art Lib­rary
in the Architectural Build­ing
Oct. 31 to Nov. 5.
Three of the prints are from
wood cuts: "Fool in the Belfrey"
and "Christmas Sermon" by Al­len
Lewis, and "Breakfast Hunt­ers"
by Leo Meissner. Among the
interesting etchings are "Last
Load" and "Madame John's Le­gacy—
New Orleans" by Alice S.
Buell. The water colors include
Hayley Lever's "Trees, Tiffany
Foundation—Oyster Bay" and
"Tiffany Foundation — Oyster
Bay;" and M. Lois Murphy's

"Lower Manhattan" by
Howard Cook is included in the
exhibit.
The exhibit will be open to the

The company also operates sub-plants
at Tuskegee and LaFay-ette
which serve their surround­ing
territories.
Millions now testify by a
world-wide enthusiasm for the
drink that is delicious and refresh­ing.
It is a part of the daily lives
of these millions. No other trade-marked
product is better known
than Coca-Cola. In rural hamlets,
in great noisy cities, in far-flung
stretches of empire, on lonely is­land
cities, on ships at sea, in the
planes of the air, in more than
seventy countries of the world, it
is available—ice-cold, delicious,
and refreshing.
You'll find smokers
everywhere keeping Chester­fields
with them all day long.
They add to your pleasure when
you're on the job and when you
take a night off.
It takes good things to make a good
product. That's why we use the best
ingredients a cigarette can have
—mild ripe tobaccos and pure
cigarette paper—to make Chest­erfield
the cigarette that smokers
say is milder and better-tasting.
