Frat Council Makes
Initiation Changes
Scholastic Requirements for Fraternity
Men Changed by Croup at Last Meeting
At its last regular meeting the Interfraternity Council
made several important changes in its constitution, according
to George Hiller, president of the Council.
The major changes concern requirements for initiation
of fraternity men. The scholastic requirement has been
changed to a 70 average, weighted only. Formerly the
rule required that the average might be either weighted
according to the number of credit hours the student was
taking, oorr tthhee ssttrraaiigghhtt average
would be accepted.
The grades for the semester immediately
preceding the time at
which the student is initiated,
must be used as a basis for the
scholastic requirement. No student
may be initiated on the basis
of mid-semester grades. Another
change was the raising of the
council dues from $25 to $30 for
each chapter per year.
Selection of four houses which
will hold house parties during the
final dances on April 26 and 27
was also announced. These houses
are Kappa Sigma, Theta Chi, Kappa
Alpha, and Pi Kappa Phi.
It was announced that Parent's
Day would be sponsored by the
council on May 5. A polo game will
feature the day's entertainment
and all the new buildings will be
open for inspection. Letters are
being prepared and will be mailed
to parents by each individual
fraternity. A letter will also be
sent to each student's parents
from Dr. Duncan.
T h e Interfraternity Council
banquet will be held the night of
April 22. Each fraternity will
have four representatives present
at the banquet and new officers
for next year will also be elected.
The annual track meet sponsored
by the council has been postponed
until the latter part of
April because of the illness of
Prof. E. B. Smith, head of the
intramural sports department.
FRANK B.WILSON
TO HEAD DELTA
SIGMA PI FRAT
Frank B. Wilson, junior in business
administration from Greenville,
has been elected president
of Delta Sigma Pi, honorary business
fraternity, for next year. He
is a Pi K A.
Other officers elected are: K.
L. Lott, vice-president; Henry
Faucette, secretary; Archie Hark-ins,
treasurer; Sam Nettles, junior
warden; Charlie R a y , senior
guide; Bobby Adair, junior guide;
Turner Hudson, chancellor; and
L. Z. Thrasher, publicity director.
Retiring president of the organization
is Rufus Porter.
The initiation of newly selected
members and formal installation
of officers will take place at a
banquet next Monday night.
John Rice, Captain of the local
chapter of Scabbard and Blade,
supervises the initiation of 23
neophytes this week-end.
Two Dances Slated
For The Week-End
Sigma Chi's Hold Dance
Tonight; ATO Tomorrow
Two fraternity dances occupy
the spotlight of entertainment for-this
week-end with the Sigma
Chi's giving their annual spring
• dance tonight and ATO holding
their dance tomorrow night. Both
dances will be held at Graves
Center with the Auburn Knights
furnishing the music and beginning
at 9:00 p.m.
Miss Frances Dowling of Birmingham
will lead the Sigma Chi
dance escorted by Frank Cayce,
president of the chapter, also
from Birmingham. During the evening
there will be a Sigma Chi
lead-out and three no-breaks.
The Sigma Chi dance will be
featured with a 30-minute broadcast
over radio stations in Birmingham
and Columbus.
The ATO's annual Orchid Ball
will be somewhat similar to that
of last year, when all dates of
the members and pledges, and
Mrs. Rebecca Henry, housemother,
were presented with orchids and
the selection, "Orchids in the
Moonlight" was played for the
fraternity lead-out.

Annual Church
Event Starts
This Sunday
Fraternity, Sorority
Attendance Awards to
Be Given by "Y" Group
The annual fraternity and sorority
Go-To-Church Month will begin
Sunday, April 7. The fraternity
division is supervised by the YMCA
and the sorority division is conducted
by the YWCA. Both morning
and night services during the four
Sundays of the month will be considered
in the contest.
A list of men in fraternities entering
the contest must be turned
in to Bill Carroll or W. G. Darty
not later than Sunday night, April
7. A list of sorority members from
each sorority entering the contest
must be turned in to Alice Little
by the same time.
The contest winner will be determined
on a percentage basis and
not on total number of boys or
girls attending the services. Those
who are out of town on any Sunday
during the month must bring
a certificate signed by the pastor
or church usher certifying that
they attended church. Names of
students from fraternities or sororities
entered in the contest must
be turned in to a "Y" member as
they enter the door of their church.
A cup will be awarded to the
fraternity and the sorority having
the highest percentage of attendance
for the month. Last year the
Beta Kappas won the fraternity
cup with 100 per cent attendance
for the entire month.

Letter From A
To His Son At
THE profound advice that sometimes
may be given by a father
to his son is almost as great as
infinity. Each of us have probably
received a letter from our
father that has contained some
of the soundest and most useful
advice we have ever known.
Recently a student at Auburn
received a letter from his father,
and thinking that it contained so
much good advice that it might
be useful to all of us, he turned
the letter over to us. We present
it here as an editorial. We hope
the advice contained in this letter
will be as gratefully received
as it was freely and judiciously
given.
Dear Bud:
I see in the Plainsman this
morning that you made the Honor
Roll again. Now that really is
good. You know that—The Honor
Roll—really is a great society.
You are over half-way through
college now and have made the
honor roll every time up to now.
I cannot see any reason why you
should not continue to do so. It
will be something that you will
be proud of as long as you live,
and besides that it will pay good
dividends all down the line. It
will give you the right start and
a good chance to fight the battle
of life and stay on top. Many a
man has come from behind after
finishing college and forged a-head
and made better in life
than many who had brilliant college
careers. But this was because
he did not work hard when
he was in college and after graduating
he had an awakening and
got up and went to work. But the
same fellow would have made

After The Ball Is Over
THE senior class elections are
over. Nothing is left but the
smiles of the successful candidates,
the job that lies before
them, and the friendships that
all candidates have made.
Looking back over last Tuesday's
election we find many interesting
things to talk about.
First, we should all extend a vote
of appreciation to the Elections
Committee for the splendid manner
in which they conducted the
elections. It was without a doubt
one of the fairest elections ever
held on the campus. The placing
of ballot boxes at three strategic
positions on the campus w as
largely responsible for the large
vote that was cast in the election
—approximately 560 votes.
Prize oddity of the election
was the fact that only one vet
student failed to vote. Our congratulations
to Vet Hill for their
extreme interest taken in the election.
Voting is one of the first essentials
of good citizenship and

even better if he had had his a-wakening
sooner—while he was
in college.
Many boys and girls do not
give their best while in college,
but they would all be better off
if they had, when they get out
into the world where only ability
counts. And ability and knowledge
are the two essential things
now, and they are going to be
more essential in the future. In
the past a man who had political
pull and could build it up
could get ahead but that day is
passing fast, if it has not already
passed, and from here on it is going
to be the man who can really
deliver the goods. And the
young fellow who comes out of
college with a good record is going
to have the best chance.
Now that does not mean that
good horse sense will be useless,
but it means that the fellow who
makes good in college has already
shown that he has the
fundamentals of that quite unknown
quality of horse sense.
Two plants may come from identical
seeds but the one that is
properly cultured and fertilized
will by far outgrow the other
plant. And it is the same way
with human beings. I have seen
men who could not read or write
and who yet had much natural
ability, and some of them made
money, while some brilliant college
graduates wasted their time
and money after leaving college.
Such is the way of life. The
race is won by those who are
strong, well-equipped, and fight,
fight, fight all the way.
Love,
Dad
right here in college is a good
place to start developing that
quality.
To those who were victorious
in the elections, just this—along
with the honor that has been accorded
you, and it a distinct honor
to be selected by your fellow
classmates as their leaders,
there is a certain responsibility,
a certain task to perform. And
it is up to you to put forth your
best effort to justify the faith
that has been placed in you by
your classmates. To those who
lost — you did not really lose.
You made many new friendships
that will last through life. Just
remember that friendship is a
very valuable asset, and in marking
up your account books, do
not place the "election loss" on
the debit side, but place the
"loss" on the credit side. D.H.
On Rowdiness
WE do not like to say anything
about this subject of rowdiness
but invariably, year after year,
something happens which almost
forces something to be said on
this subject. We speak in the
main now of an incident that happened
this week.
This act of rowdiness occurred
last Wednesday night at Ross
Chemical Auditorium where the
Ag Club was holding its regular
weekly meeting. Somewhere a-bout
the middle of the program,
several large rocks were thrown
through an open window. Only
one of the rocks struck anyone
in the audience and that one
caused no injury.
No one k n o w s what the
purpose was in throwing the
rocks, except the person who
threw them. We really do
not care to know who threw the
rocks. We would not want to
know anyone who would stoop to
such a trick and we do not believe
you would either. That type
of person is the kind that no decent
individual wishes to know
or associate with. Furthermore
there is no place in Auburn for
persons of such rowdy conduct.

By Herbert Martin
Editor's Note: The opinions expressed in this
column are those of the writer and are not to
be construed as the editorial policies of this
paper.
THE Auburn Plainsman is now published
twice daily, by dern (original adjective
censored by Hays office), if
last Tuesday can be
taken as an example.
Seems that we are
stepping i n t o the
metropolitan c l a ss
with two entirely different
editions, one
of regular size published
in the afternoon
for reading at
leisure, and one tabloid
edition on the
sensational side published
in convenient
size for reading on the subway.
* * *
It's no news to say that "Chimes of
Normandy" was a success, and it's
nothing new to point out the excellent
acting done by various members of the
cast. Even scenery and stage properties
have been favorably mentioned by
those fortunate enough to have seen
the performance.
Perhaps you didn't hear, however,
the cries of "Author!" which rose at
the conclusion of the first showing.
There's nothing like a top-hat touch to
give the proper atmosphere to such a
performance.
* * *
Given a fair chance, orientation of
freshmen before the regular session
next September should prove well
worth the preparation it will need. It
is to be hoped that fraternities will
keep "hands off" until the period is
over and not defeat the purpose of the
work by premature rushing.
* * *
An interesting aspect of Tuesday's
election was the fact that only one lone
vet junior failed to vote. Drug stores,
fraternities, and infirmary, and both
Montgomery and Opelika corners were
diligently searched, but the culprit had
made good his escape.
* * *
The Auburn Junior Chamber of Commerce
has been reliably informed that
the CCC Camp will be moved from Che-wacla
by June first. Civic clubs and
business men in this section are working
to get this order rescinded. It
seems to us that matter vitally concerns
students as well.
* * *
For students in regular session in the
late spring, and for summer session
students, Chewacla offers a large portion
of the recreational facilities available.
Much work already started has
yet to be completed, and many needed
improvements have not as yet been
made.
Plans called for hard-surfacing roads
through the park, building new cabins,
barbecue shelters, a lodge house with
dining room facilities, paths, boat piers,
and numerous other improvements.
* * *
This work cannot be completed by
June 1, and people in this section are
anxious to have the camp remain another
year to finish up. Of 15 State
parks which have been started, none
have been completed, and only seven
are under construction now. The Chewacla
Park is right at the top of this
list in respect to financial returns,
number of visitors, and topography and
flora.
* * »
We saw a gross violation of the five
minute telephone conversation rule in
Dormitory No. 2 a few nights ago.
This violation was made by a freshman
when we noticed it, but it must be
rather common practice. At any rate,
our frosh took one phone, curled up on
the shelf under the desks, and proceeded
to beat her gums for approximately
25 minutes.
And we've wondered why dormitory
phones stay busy!

They wuz as thick as flies, very
friendly flies, around the Bulletin office
Tuesday night as they waited for
the late news edition. Feverish candidates
peeped in vain through holes in
window-shades, and the whole thing was
pretty much of an uproar.
Surprisingly enough, very little information
leaked out besides the news
that Darty and Christenberry, both unopposed,
were piling up substantial
leads. Hopeful contenders bit their
fingernails to the bitter end, and it was
all so useless. Why??? Just ask Karrie.

upstairs next door to the Plainsman
office. It was unlocked; not a soul was
there for a good part of the time; and
election returns were spread out all
over the desk!"
The Plainsman Forum
Letters to the Editor
Editor, Auburn Plainsman
Dear Sir:
It would seem that the school authorities
would have more regard for the
safety of the students when they construct
stands for the students to sit in
at baseball games.
Last Friday afternoon in the midst
of the Auburn-Purdue baseball game,
the center section of the stand collapsed,
injuring one small boy quite seriously,
and several students slightly.
The wood from which the stands were
constructed was apparently of a very
poor grade, for it collapsed under a
rather small load. It seems that a few
rowdy students, who have been the
cause of other disturbances on the
campus this year, were in the stand's
at the time of the collapse. These students
got into an argument over a foul
ball that another spectator caught.
There was some stamping of feet and a
gathering of people around the spectator
with the ball. This additional concentration
was all that the weak stands
needed. With a resounding crash they
collapsed, carrying all the spectators in
that section down with them. The small
boy who was seriously injured happened
to be under the stands when it fell.
He had to be dug out of the debris.
Some measure should be taken by
the school officials to erect stands that
will be safe for the spectators. Perhaps
the group of rowdy students who congregated
at one location in the stands
had a lot to do with the collapse, but
the stands should have' a high enough
load limit to take care of the weight
of more than one person in any one
place. Something should be done to
avoid further accidents which may
someday cause someone's death.
Sincerely,
An indignant student.
By I. SAWIT ALL
RETURNS from several weeks of intensive
research prove that the favorite
campus hot spot this spring is not
Ag Bottom, Bullard Field, or even the
new stadium. Campus choice at present
was the champion of 1934, '35, and
'37 . . . baseball dugouts on the diamond
half of Drake Field.
This doesn't mean that other spots
are not popular. On one or two nights
the total number of visitors to other
portions of the campus was a little
greater, but for general effectiveness,
rain or shine, the dugouts were far a-head.
On the night after the first local
polo game, six couples hurredly left
Bullard Field, first choice., One couple
joined the two already situated in Ag
Bottom, one ventured onto the old football
field, and one attended mass meeting
in the new stadium. The other three
sought secluded positions in the dugouts.
Close inspection revealed that games
were played on the athletic field behind
the Girls' Gym, especially on Friday
and Saturday nights. The exact nature
of these games were not determined,
but the turf showed evidence of
high-speed running and a struggle.
Smooch was the order of the day, or
night, on campus benches, and certain
benches had their regular callers. The
overworked moonlight proved quite effective
in two specific instances.
Yea, many are the places Auburn
lads go to court their lasses, but the
best by far, in rain or shine, with your
girl or mine, is a dugout on the baseball
field.
. . . It is not known just how much
the unidentified writer of this dissertation
found out during his nocturnal
wanderings, but we have his word that
no details will be revealed, and that no
names will be mentioned. Anyway, nothing
happened. The girls always had to
leave at eleven.
Words On Music—By Jimmy Gilbert
ORCHIDS this week—four of them—
to Fred Mohns, Lem Edmonson, Miss
Jean Byrd, and Miss Martha Daily, for
their excellent work in "The Chimes of
Normandy". Too much cannot be said
about the expression and eloquence of
both the acting and the singing, with
emphasis on the singing. A fifth orchid
to Bob Haas for his unsurpassed acting
in the role of Gaspard, the miser. Let's
put on the pressure for more productions
like this, with continued emphasis
on the local talent. We know
they're good.
Still locally, the Auburn Knights
will play a half hour broadcast tonight
from the Sigma Chi dance. More local
talent making good. How about "Rose
of The Rio Grande", boys?
On the record: Just received a copy
of Artie Shaw's first release, "Frenesi",
and "Adios, Marquita Linda". (Victor.)
After listening to such an assorted
group of symphonic and swing artists
as I've never heard before, I'll venture
the theory that Shaw is still on the
solid side, in spite of the strings.
A new group of Decca discs include
the Animated Andrewses doing "The
Woodpecker Song", and "Down by the
Ohio"; Jim Savitt's "Rose of the Rio
Grande" (plenty good) plus "Blue* in
the Groove"; a Sweet one, "Reminiscing
Time", and a swingaroo, "Tit Willow",
by Bob Crosby; Bing Crosby in a sing-aroo
with John Scott Trotter on "The
Singing Hills", backed by "Devil May
Care"; finally, Jimmy Dorsey playing
"Cherokee", and waxmate (I like the
word), "A Man and His Drums". Try
them all, they're tops in records right
now.
Did you ever attend an orchestra re-hersal?
At first you get assorted sounds
that remind you of fish horns and kids
with old washtubs; but after much
warming up, the sounds are a little better.
Sections going over phrases again
and again, drummer"" setting his outfit
just right for the best effects, and everyone
telling everyone else off in no
uncertain terms.
The Auburn Plainsmen, at rehearsal
this week, did give me something to
listen to in "Zaggin' With Zig", with
some trumpet work that just won't
wait. These boys are working hard for
their coming engagements at the various
smaller colleges over the state. Two
others worth mentioning a r e Lynn
Riley's arrangement of an oldie, "Exactly
Like You", and "If I Could Be With
You." Both feature sax choruses that
really fine. Rosalyn Shepard does the
vocal on the former.
Network notations: Band per week
shows are good this week. Harry James
visits the MBS "Show of the Week",
(5:30) while Ben Bernie heads the NBC
bandwagon show.
Three NBC features worth mentioning
are: Lou Breeze and breezy rhy-them
every night except Wednesday at
10:30. Metropolitan presents Richard
Crooks in "Faust"—Saturday at 1:00
p.m., and for the late sitters, Glenn
Miller at 11:00 p.m. on Monday.
CBS presents: Jack Leonard at 3:00
p.m. on Friday; Guy Lombardo at 9:00
p.m. on Monday.
With the Co-OpS — By A Fred Henning
THE Engineers' Day which was held
here on the campus last Wednesday
has been recorded as a big success. Professors,
as well as students are now
convinced that such an exhibition is
not only entertaining but educational
as well.
Among those more colorful displays
seen about the campus was that of the
Mitec Engineers. Their exhibit, set up
in Ramsay Engineering Hall, was self-explanatory.
The men who assisted in
the planning and setting up of this exhibit
are to be congratulated and these
fellows are given a whole-hearted
"thank you" by the Mitec Engineers.
Special thanks are given to James A.
Weems who constructed the key of the
organization which was used in the exhibit.
Another list of "thank you's" go to
the many Alabama employers of cooperative
students who so graciously
loaned displays to be used in the exhibit.
So inspiring was the Engineers'
Day exhibit that many students are already
making plans for a bigger and
a better exhibit to be held here next
year. Perhaps by that time Auburn's
Engineers' Day will attract alumni from
points far distant from Auburn. Perhaps
by that time it will have been
established as an annual affair on Auburn's
calendar of events.
* * *
Three co-op students, C. J. Bastien,
Don Kirk, and Bob Morgan made a visit
to Auburn last week-end. These fellows
are members of section B and all
are pre-juniors in their scholastics. The
co-ops in section A enjoyed having these
fellow co-ops and extend to them a
hearty invitation to return soon. Such
informal meeting of groups from both
sections are to be encouraged.

Orders for Mitec keys should be submitted
to Ray Ewald not later than
Thursday, April 11, 1940.
Radio's Sound Effects Men—Oddly
Enough, They See With Their Ears
"I KNEW that was a good idea," said
Walter Pierson, sound-effects chief
for the Columbia Broadcasting System,
"the minute I laid my ears on it."
"No," Mr. Pierson continued in answer
to an impertinent question, "I'm
not being quaint. We sound-effects men
lay our ears on things, not our eyes.
We give a listen, not a look. That's
more than just a funny lingo. It reveals
our way of thinking.
The dexterity of sound men is something
that all visitors to Columbia's studios
remember —• the way one of the
men juggles with trains, ambulances,
fire engines, and automobile crashes.
Let's see how a sound-man gives the
listener a picture of a man opening a
door, walking down a hallway to a second
door, opening that, and entering
an office. What does the sound-man
start with? A notation in a script. What
kind of doors are these? What kind of
shoes will the character be wearing?
How big is he? Will he be hopeful or
angry, depressed or defiant? The way
be closes the doors will reveal his mood.
Will the sounds have meaning to an
audience? Some sounds, like the plop-plop
of a swinging door shifting on its
hinges are meaningless unless verbally
identified, and the sound-man must decide
what sounds will paint the author's
picture.
"But his most important job is still
to come—building, with his sound effects,
a three-dimensional setting for
the dramatice action. This is done by
the arrangement of effects. Take our
man walking down' the hall. Suppose
we want to imply that the listener is
standing in the office. We start, then,
with footsteps off-mike, sounding far
away, with the first door also off-mike
and dead — reverberations muffled so
that they seem to be in a closed space:
a hallway. We move the footsteps toward
the mike—the second door opens
on-mike, and live. If we want the mike
to travel with the walker, as though the
listener were accompanying him, we
have a different problem. But it can
be solved by a different arrangement
of sounds.

Picture Will Appear at

Reserved seat tickets are still

There will be three shows daily
at 10:00 a.m., 2:00 p.m. and 7:30
p.m. to accommodate the crowds.
The box office will be open at
9:30 a.m.
In consideration of its size, Auburn
is fortunate in getting to see
"GWTW" at so early a date. The
picture has been so widely publicized
that it is hardly in need
of an introduction to anyone who
has been exposed to radio, newspaper
or magazine in the last four
years.
David O. Selznick bought the
motion picture rights from the
author, Margaret Mitchell, for
$50,000, the highest price ever
paid for a first novel. The book
has already been translated into
16 foreign langauges and has sold
over two million copies, of which
one and one-quarter million were
sold in the United States.
The burning of military supplies
of Atlanta, one of the major
scenes of the picture, was filmed
on the night of December 15,
1938, at which time Vivien Leigh
was a mere spectator. Struck by
her remarkable resemblance to
Scarlett, in that she had green
eyes, narrow waist, and pert features,
Selznick suggested a test.
As a result she was assigned to
the coveted part.
Susan Myrick, (who recently
visited Auburn) known as the
"Emily Post of the South", assisted
Miss Leigh in the cultivation
of Southern manners and
speech.
The task of the costumer was
complicated by the fact that women's
styles underwent three distinctly
radical changes during
Scarlett's time. He thus had to
recreate the fashions of the hoop
skirt antebellum era, the makeshift
models of the poverty stricken
war years, and the bustle
modes of the Reconstruction period.
Omega Tau Sigma
Installed Here
On March 27th Omega Tau
Sigma, Veterinary fraternity, was
installed on the campus. Thirty-one
charter members were initiated.
Previously a group had been
organized, and this group was inducted
into the National Veterinary
fraternity by prominent veterinarians
who came from many
sections of the United States.
Telegrams were received from
chapters at the other veterinary
colleges including Ohio State,
Pennsylvania, Cornell, Ontario.
Omega Tau Sigma is the oldest
Vet fraternity in America. It was
organized at the University of
Pennsylvania by men who today
are prominent in the veterinary
field. One of these, Dr. Frank
Lentz, was present to help install
the new chapter. He gave an interesting
talk about the organization
in the early days, and explained
the growth on a substantial
basis and how the fraternity
had reached its present state of
leadership.
Dr. C. R. Rogers, from Avon,
111., also spoke, and Dr. Charles
C. Rife of Atlanta represented
southern members of the fraternity.
According to the rules of the
fraternity, only outstanding students,
and men with sterling character
may be admitted. It is a
professional, scientific and social
fraternity. Members must be
those who show early evidence of
being leaders in the future.
Omega Tau Sigma will become
affiliated with the Interfraternity
Council, and has reecived the
usual permission to organize,
granted by the officials of API.
Officers elected for the balance of
this semester are president, Dick
Swindle; vice-president, Ted Mason;
treasurer, Tom Wise; secretary,
Urban Whatley.
Dr. Leland E. Starr, Assistant
Dean of the School of Veterinary
Medicine, an alumnus who joined
at Ohio State, will serve as
faculty advisor for the organization.
Charter members of the
chapter here at Auburn are: John
T. Billingsley, Ray D. Loworn,
Julian Dubose Stith, Frederick F.
Warren, Leon F. Whitney, B. C.
Swindle, James Ashby Faughn,

TIGER TALES
By BOOTS STRATFORD
The only two track events to be held here this year
will be the Georgia meet on the twentieth of this month
and the Fourth District high school meet on the twenty-seventh.
The high school affair, which is
to be sponsored by Spiked Shoe, is Coach
HutselFs brain child, the purpose of which
is to develop interest in track among the
prep schools of this vicinity and in so doing,
to develop competition among the schools
and perhaps prospective Auburn track material.

Although officially there is no winner
— - - of the Florida Relays, Auburn came out
BooTStmaTFtzo Qn t o p , a s t week-end at this event on the
basis of scoring S, 3, and 1 points for each first, second,
and third place won, respectively, beating out Florida
by a small margin with Maryland, Alabama, Duke,
North Carolina, Georgia Tech, Richmond, and Georgia
trailing the the rampaging Tigers.
We herewith give our impressions of a trip to the
Florida Relays.
Gainesville—A slightly sleepy, quietly modern, ideally
college sort of town with tall palms dotting the University
campus; azaleas, dogwood and wisteria in full flower;
giant oaks dripping with gray moss lining the streets; and
a snorting locomotive pushing its iron nose incongruously
beneath the beards of moss as it puffed down the main
residential thoroughfare at the ungodliest hours.
The University of Florida — Vine covered brick
classroom buildings and dormitories placed on flatly
spacious pine and palm sprinkled grounds, a large outdoor
swimming pool, a football stadium shaped, like
a squared horseshoe which looked a little odd in its
tropical setting, and a separate track stadium beyond
the open end of the football field.
The meet—How the uniforms of the prep schools in
their multi-colored silken glory far out-dazzled the uniforms
of the college teams. . . . How the queen of the Relays,
ace Gator dash man Francis Kearney's date, out-dazzled
everything within miles. . . . How the Maryland
four man team won three of the relays. . . . How Captain
Chuck Morgan of Auburn put on the heat to snatch the
120-yd. high hurdle title from March of North Carolina
after they came over the last barrier together. . . . How
Bob Dickinson won the finals of the hundred and the broad
jump to rank with weight man John Smith of Florida as
being the only two men to win two first places in the meet.

Tigers Meet Tech
In Atlanta Today
Play First Conference
Games of This Season
Coach Porter Grant's 1940 baseball
Tigers rolled into Atlanta today
to meet Georgia Tech in their
opening Southeastern Conference
tilts for this season. Games with
Tech were scheduled for today and
tomorrow. The Tigers will return
to Atlanta to meet the Oglethorpe
Petrels next Wednesday and Thursday.
The Plainsmen have won four
out of six non-loop battles and are
in pretty good condition to face the
Yellow Jackets. Many rough spots
in the Tigers' offensive and defensive
programs have been smoothed
out by Coach Grant during the
six practice games. Captain Tom-mie
Thompson and his team are
expected to make a fine showing
in this year's league games.
In winning this week over both
Daytona Beach and Hamilton,
Ontario, the Bengals demonstrated
fielding and hitting ability. The
stars of these two victorious engagements
will also be on hand to
wreck Tech if possible.
Talented sophomore southpaw
Tommie Mastin, of Montgomery,
will open on the mound for Auburn
Friday. Mastin was nicked for
only three hits in pitching the Tigers
to victory over Daytona Beach.
Charlie Kilpatrick, senior from
Carrollton, who struck out 10 men
in Auburn's victory over Purdue
last week, will be the starting hurl-er
in Saturday's game. Catchers
Dick McGowen, Jack Ferrell, and
Red Caudill, who have been dividing
time behind the plate, may possibly
all see service in the series
of games with Tech.
Starters at other posts against
Tech will be Ralph Frazier at first,

Atlanta Polo Team
Game Scheduled Here
Tomorrow Afternoon
If old man weather will give us
a break, for a change, the Auburn
Polo Team will clash with the Atlanta
Horse Guards here on Bul-lard
Field tomorrow afternoon at
2:30.
Two previous engagements with
the riders from Atlanta have been
called off because of wet grounds.
It will be the Tiger riders third
match of the year. They dropped
two contests here to the hard-riding
Ohio State team.
Probable starters for tomorrow's
scheduled match for the Plainsmen
will be Roger Hamel at No. 1, Bob
Armstrong at No. 2, Clyde Brown
at No. 3, and Fred Schell, who has
been on the injured list, at position
