Tabulation Of
Cheating Survey
Results Finished
1101 Students Polled
By College to Obtain
Cheating Information
Final tabulations were complet­ed
last week on a poll of student
opinion taken week before last
on the general subject of the
cheating problem at Auburn. A
two-page collection of questions
were presented to 1101 students
in all schools of the college, and
all answers collected and tabulated.
"Some of the results are start­ling,"
Executive Secretary Ralph
Draughon said this morning. How­ever,
no statistical results will be
issued for some time yet.
The complete results are to be
completed, digested and made in­to
a report, which will be pre­sented
to the Executive Council
for consideration, and its action
in attempt to solve the cheating
problem will be based on the find­ings
of the survey.
The majority of the question­naires
were given to sophomores,
juniors, and seniors, who were ad­judged
to be more familiar with
the situation here than were the
freshmen.
Assimilation and tabulation of
results was handled by the ag eco­nomics
department.
Plainsman Wins
Athens Glee Club F«^CfeH Ra,i"9
Sings Here Tonight
No Charge To Be Made for Admission;
Scene Is Langdon Hall at 8:15
The Glee Club of Athens College will present a con­cert
at Langdon Hall tonight at 8:15. The second visiting
choral organization to appear in Auburn this week, the
Athens group follows the Alabama Madrigal Singers whose
performance last night was warmly received.
Their appearance is sponsored by the Home Economics
and Ag Clubs.
There will not be any admission
charge for the performance. The
statement on the third page of
this issue of the Plainsman that
there would be a charge and that
tickets are on sale is not correct.
A party has been arranged for
the visiting girls immediately af­ter
the concert in Smith Hall by
the two sponsoring organizations.
During the concert all Limestone
County students at Auburn will
occupy a reserved seat section.
The club will give a varied pro­gram
of 21 different numbers:
"0, Divine Redeemer" by
Gounod, '-'Elegie" by Massenet,
"O For The Wings of a Dove"
by Mendelssohn - Bartholdy, "A
Candle, A Candle" by Goodell,
"Lullaby" by Gretchaninoff, "A-merican
Lullaby" by Rich, "To
You" by Oley Speaks, "Venetian
Love Song" by Ethelbert Nevin,
and "O Morn of Beauty" by Jean
Sibelius all will be sung by the
entire club.
Solos will be Novello's "The
Little Damozel," sung by Betsy
"Moreland; "The Crowning Indig­nity"
by Nesbit and "So Was I"
by Smitey, both sung by Robbie
Nell Christopher; "LeParlate d'
Amour" from "Faust" by Gounod,
with Frances Roberts singing; and
finally, "Slavonic Fantasie by
Dvorak-Kreisler, sung by Frances
Cojean.
The club octet will present
"Vesper Hymn" by Beethoven-
Victor Harris, "I Dream of
Jeanie" by Stephen Foster and
"Will 0' the Wisp" by Spross,
"Sonny Boy" by Curran, "Green
Cathedral" by Hahn, "Yesterday
and Today" by Spross.
Mary Emma Peck will direct
the club, and accompanying will
be Madelyn Rogers.
Tau Kappa Alpha
Initiates Tonight
Four API debaters, Kirk New­ell,
Richard Bjurberg, Charles
Dubberly, and James McBroom
will be initiated tonight into Tau
Kappa Alpha, honorary debate
fraternity.
The initiation, which will begin
at 6:30 this afternoon, will be
under the direction of William
Boggs, president of the local Tau
Kappa Alpha chapter.
Is Highest Ranking
Ever Won by Paper
The Plainsman was awarded
first-class honor rating Jn the An­nual
Associated College Press
judging of college papers the ACP
announced this week. This is the
highest rating yet to be attained
by the Plainsman, last year's pub­lication
receiving third-class hon­or
rating and the 1937-38 paper
receiving second-class honor rat­ing.
First-class honor rating is the
second highest rating given by
ACP, the highest being the "All-
American" award.
All 406 competiting papers are
separated into divisions according
to enrollment of the school and
frequency of publication, the
Plainsman falling in the 2,500
plus, two or three times weekly,
classification.
From the papers chosen this
year as the "All-American" col­lege
newspapers, six were given
additional designation of "Pace­makers"
:
The Cauldron, Fenn College;
Daily Cardinal, University of Wis­consin;
Daily Texan, University of
Texas; The Echo Weekly, Mil­waukee
State Teachers College;
Michigan Daily, University of
Michigan; and the Minnesota
Daily, University of Minnesota.

Award Given Bryant
Merlin Bryant of Andalusia,
outstanding junior in agriculture,
has been awarded the Danforth
Summer Fellowship for 1940, ac­cording
to information from the
office of the dean of the School
of Agriculture.
Bryant, in his three years at
Auburn, has made an excellent
scholastic average, while taking
an active part in extra-curricular
activities. He is particularly ac­tive
in club work, being president
of the Sears Scholarship Club
last year, reporter for the Ag
Club last semester, and a member
of IRC. In addition to these ac­tivities,
is assistant business man­ager
and a member of the Board
of Control of "The Alabama
Farmer."
The Danforth Summer Fellow­ship
is awarded to 38 outstanding
agricultural juniors in 38 state
universities each year, and is
given jointly by the Danforth
Foundation and Ralston Purina
Mills.
The award covers the students'
expenses for two weeks in St.
Louis for a course at Ralston
Purina Mills, and a two weeks
course at the American Youth
Foundation on Lake Michigan.
STATE POLL TAX
IS DEFENDED BY
JUDGEJONES HERE
Speaks Before Annual
Banquet of Phi Kappa
Phi Honor Society
Speaking before the annual
banquet of Phi Kappa Phi here
Friday night, Judge Walter B.
Jones of Montgomery, staunchly
defended the poll tax and express­ed
his unqualified opposition to
the Geyer anti-poll tax bill now
pending in Congress.
Under his subject of "Good
Government, It's Worth, and Its
Price," Judge Jones discussed the
duty of the citizen to vote and
presented argument that the bal­lot
is a privilege and not a right.
"The right to vote is not a
natural right, and never has been.
It is a political privilege, and it is
not a necessary attribute of citi­zenship.
It is a'privilege confer­red,
limited, or withheld at the
pleasure of the people acting in
their soverign capacity," Judge
Jones said.
In concluding his remarks about
the poll tax he pointed out: "It
would be a great mistake, at this
time, for the eight Southern
States that still have poll tax re­quirements
to do away with them.

Auburn Audience
Small Crowd Hears
Colorful Performance
Of University Girls
Before a small audience in
Langdon Hall last night, the Mad­rigal
Club of University of Ala­bama
coeds under direction of
Tom Garner presented a varied
program of vocal music, which
members of the audience describ­ed
as one of the most captivating
musical entertainments to be
given here this year.
Most enthusiastically received
of the several soloists on the Uni­versity
group's program was Miss
Willard Sharp, contralto. She sang
"My Lover Is a Fisherman" by
Lily Strickland and "When Irish
Eyes Are Smiling" and was re­called
to the curtain several times
by insistent applause.
Miss Iras Mae Barrington, so­prano,
sang "The Butterfly" by
Huntington Woodman; Miss Em-malu
O'Rear, soprano, "Song of
India" by Rimsky-Korsakoff; and
Miss Dorothy Adams, who has a
very clear, soft, soprano voice,
"If God Only Left Me" by John
H. Davis.
One of the most successful
numbers of the evening was Step­hen
C. Foster's "Beautiful Dream­er,"
sung by Miss O'Rear, Miss
Barrington, and Miss Sharp. The
club accompanist, Miss Alva Hil-bish,
refused demands for an en­core
after her piano solo.
Numbers sung by the entire
club included Schumann's "The
Gypsies," "Castanets and Tam­bourines"
by Lefebre, "The Snow"
by Sir Edward Elgar, "Ah, Love,
But a Day" by Mrs. H: H. A.
Beach, "To You" by Speaks-Rix,
"Sing Me to Sleep" by Green-
MacArthur, "Dickory Dickory,
Dock" by W. O. Perkins, "Jap­anese
Love Song" by Clayton-
Thomas, and the University of
Alabama Alma Mater.

The Bertrand Russell Case
THE courts, the traditional de­fenders
of rights, have shut
their eyes on freedom of thought
and rescinded the appointment of
Bertrand Russell as professor of
philosophy at the College of the
City of New York.
He was tossed out after the
Board of Higher Education had
voted 11-7 to uphold his appoint­ment
in spite of terrific pressure
from objecting groups.
In this case the courts have
fallen prey to the "ostrich" theory
of thought — that when you see
something, you don't like, the
best way out is to hide your head
in the sand and ignore it. Fortu­nately,
neither university stu­dents
nor any other thinking peo­ple
are like that. Instead of try­ing
to pull down the curtain on
the unpleasant and the conflict­ing,
they prefer to weigh opin­ions,
reserving the right to sepa­rate
the wheat from the chaff
and accept what they believe is
right.
Logically, one concludes that
those who believe differently
from Mr. Russell are afraid to
allow his arguments to be put up
against theirs, for fear that his
might predominate. So they have
taken the easy way out and had
him silenced.
Mr. Russell is a pacifist, he is
an atheist, and his views on mar­riage
are at odds-end with ac­cepted
standards. Nevertheless,
he is a professor of philosophy
and a good one. John T. Flynn
hit the crux of the argument when
he pointed out, "I do not agree
with Bertrand Russell's theory of
marriage, but he was not appoint­ed
at City College to teach his
religious views, any more than
the Episcopalian, Jewish and
Catholic instructors have been
appointed to teach theirs." Un­fortunately,
the courts could not
see that.
Mr. Russell is just concluding a
teaching appointment at the Uni­versity
of California at Los An­geles.
As has been pointed out
time and again, no perversion
has been n6table there as the re­sult
of his presence; students act
and think about as they did be­fore.
While his personal beliefs,
even some of his professional be­liefs,
may not have jibed with
those of some Californians, his
three courses at UCLA are jam­med,
a n d both students and
faculty agree with him that, "A-man
expects that sort of attack.
It is best to ignore them."
The American Committee for
Democracy and Intellectual Free­dom
summed up the whole case
against the courts when it point­ed
out:
"Nor do Mr. Russell's unconvention­al
ideas, his observations on the con­ditions
and needs of our society con­stitute
proper cause for excluding him
as a teacher in a public college. Ameri­can
youth must develop its own judg­ments
through a' knowledge of conflict­ing
views, not by living in the shelter
of ignorance and cloistered security.
Mr. Russell's books are available in
virtually every library in the country.
They have been used as textbooks and
collateral readings for decades. Cali­fornia,
Chicago, and Harvard Univers­ity
have all invited him to lecture dur­ing
the present year. Certainly a muni­cipal
institution of higher learning has
the same—if not greater—obligation
as a private university to offer its stu­dent
body every available opportunity
to examine different views about the
nature and future of our society. Any­thing
less would constitute a denial of
both the democratic tradition and the
principles of free education."
Mr. Russell might have almost
foreseen t h e present situation
and been writing about it, when
in 1922 in his Conway Memorial
Lecture he said:
"We may say that thought is
free when it is exposed to free
competition among beliefs—i.e.,
when all beliefs are able to state
their case, and no legal or pe­cuniary
advantages or disadvan­tages
attach to beliefs. This is
an ideal, which, for various rea­sons,
can never be fully attained.
But it is possible to approach
very much nearer to it than we
do at present."
Indeed it is possible to ap­proach
very much nearer to it
then we do at present.
Elect At Mid-Year
PLACED IN THE hands of the
Board of Student Publications
some time ago was a proposal
backed by several student mem­bers,
providing that the date for
the election of candidates for the
four publication posts be changed
to first semester. The idea is still
in the nebulous state, and, if ac­cepted,
would hardly take effect
on students already elected for
next year.
The change does have varied
arguments in its favor, and theo­retically
would solve some of the
problems which are manifest un­der
the present system.
On both the Plainsman and the
Glomerata the editor and the busi­ness
manager assume office at the
opening of school. While they may
have undergone some training al­ready,
they are still not versed in
the experience which is requisite
to filling their posts. Unseasoned,
bewildered, a little frightened —
they are plunged immediately into
the toughest season of the year,
for in both publications the most
of the work falls during the first
semester, while the second semes­ter
is comparatively easy.
Also, the Plainsman is rated each
year by a national agency on its
excellence as a newspaper, and
naturally the two heads are inter­ested
in the standing they are
given. Yet the rating is given on
the basis of papers from the first
semester when both editor and
business manager have hardly put
a shine on their desk chairs and
are still swamped with work.
If ^he publication heads were
chosen near the end of the first
semester, the new officers would
have a complete semester during
which they could learn their jobs
from top to bottom and gain the
actual experience which is neces­sary.
They would have ample time
in which to gather and train a
staff for their nine months in of­fice,
instead of having the last
few weeks of school when no one
is interested and the first few
days in September when no one is
in school.
Then too, the system of electing
during the first semester does a-way
with the danger of some can­didate's
beginning work on one of
the publications during the fall of
his junior year, gaining his requir­ed
year of experience during that
year, and being elected to office
that spring over some man who
may have served on the staff for
three years. Election in the first
semester means that a candidate
must have been on the staff be-for
his junior year to have his year
of experience, which is as it should
be.
If the Board of Student Publi­cations
does deem it wise to adopt
the change, the first semester of
next year is as good a time as any
to begin operation.
Well?

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.
IT ALL started last fall. The best en­semble
of brawn that Auburn could
offer presented themselves for training
, on the football field.
They lasted through
four months of knocks,
bruises, and a wide
variety of sprains,
spiced with an oc­casional
broken bone.
During this time
they traveled over
more miles than prob­ably
any other out­fit
of pigskin lug­gers
in the country,
they missed classes in
school by the dozens, they managed in
the meantime to develop into one of the
best bootball teams in the South. Well,
finally the chapter football had to play
in the 1939-40 school year was over.
However, this was only the beginning
for some of the boys.
* * *
After a short rest until the first day
of February, the men of muscle once
again began their antics on the foot­ball
field . . . some of the boys were
missing because of having already
spent their four years in company with
the squad, but there was "fresh meat"'
in the form of some 35 "rats" who were
raring to go.
All this called for more rough and
tumble acts for the boys. But before
they got well underway some of the
boys were called out to the track field
to run their hearts out. Pretty soon
this group was leaving town on track
trips.
Well, as sort of a climax baseball
season got under way. The baseball-in­clined
football men tossed out their
shoulder pads for gloves and mitts. More
hard practice, time-consuming trips
that served still further to advance the
name of Auburn and certain stars in
the particular sport.
* * *
To kinda pick up the loose ends of
this disjointed story, we can easily see
that the school year for many of the
athletes is but one steady parade of
sporting events. They are thrown with
the same group every day, not only
on the field but at the training table,
and by virture of the fact that most of
the boys room together. They have al­most
everything in common. It is quite
natural to find that a great amount of
clannishness grows out of these circum­stances.
Not only do these men find that they
get relativly little association with non-athletes,
but they are put on a com­petitive
basis in the classroom with the
student who has very little diversion
from his classwork. This puts the ath­lete
on the spot if he is to obtain a
high degree of efficiency in his school
work.
From the foregoing it is easy to see
why, in many cases, the college athletes
run around together almost constantly,
it is easy to see why sometimes they
are in difficulty in their school work;
however, it also serves to show that
they have an opportunity to be the most
outstanding, most well-known, and most
well-liked group on the campus.
* * *
The men are almost constantly in
the public eye because of their activi­ties;
therefore, they have the first basis
for popularity if they capitalize on the
other matters that go to make up an
all-round college man. Of course it is
hard to keep up with school work when
•one is constantly on the move, but it
can be done . . . many outstanding ath­letes
have proved it. After all that is
what we are supposedly in school for.
But now comes the real test. Does it
make a man more of a man to be rough
at times because he is engaged in a
rough business? Wouldn't it be more
of an accomplishment to show his as­sociates
that he can bring himself out
and beat them at their own game on
social grounds?
Now the matter of clannishness is
another question. Anyway, some ath­letes
can point out similar examples in
other groups. But it does seem that
there should be some way of making
for more understanding between the
athletes as a group and the rest of the
student body.
From all we can gather by swapping
stories with men from other schools,
we have here at Auburn a most repre­sentative
group of athletes that would
make other schools envious. Some
schools have real problems in the ath­lete
vs. student body problem . . . ours
are relatively small.
As an athlete the individual has ev­erything
in the world to gain by the
proper conduct, but by one or two

Plains Talk
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.
INCREASED action on the war fronts
bring new talk of the need for the
United States to step in and clean up
_ _ ^ _ _ _ _ _ the mess. Remote
possibilities of Ger­many's
m a k i n g a
chain through Nor­way,
Sweden, and
Denmark to Iceland
and Greenland, which
would put them in
possible striking dis­tance
of this nation,
incite certain astute
observers to make a
rush call for armed
* US forces for im­mediate
action. Others point out that
it is our duty as a civilized nation to
aid in preventing the invasion of neu­tral
European countries.
* * *
But let's not forget this. It won't
be some fellow from Wisconsin or Iowa
alone who'll do the job. We'll be right
there too.
It's we who'll be the glorious dead,
but dead just the same. We're the ones
who'll eat hardtack and canned beef,
when we can find that, and we'll be
counted in when they're assigning mud
holes as bunks because of a shortage
of sleeping quarters.
We're the ones who'll die for some­body's
country, for a cause we don't quite
understand. We'll die with honor, but un­less
they publish it in the Blue Sky Daily
Mirror and General Advertiser, well
never know about it.
* * *
We may be heroes to posterity, but
we'll be fertilizer to poppies just the
same. We like poppies, but we don't
particularly care for the idea of being
covered with the dern things through­out
eternity.
» * *
And when we come back to our coun­trymen
who idolize us we'll find that
those with the flat feet and the cross­ed
eyes will have all the jobs. We'll be
misfits, good for nothing except to wear
our uniforms and a few medals we got
for killing some fellows whom we
weren't particularly anxious to kill, and
who probably had just as soon not tried
to terminate our existence.
* * *
If the US is ever in danger of in­vasion,
we'll be there when the shoot­ing
starts, but until that real danger
is upon us we figure that we can do
more here, trying to improve something
that we have, rather than trying to
tear down a few forts on the Seigfreid
Line.
* * *
This installment plan of making the
world safe for democracy with pay­ments
every twenty years or so of hun­dreds
of thousands of men who are
vitally needed to help with our own
democracy is similar to the position of
one impoverished family we knew who
bought a vacuum cleaner on one of
these "five dollar down and a dollar
a month for the rest of your life"
plans.
This family sold garden truck to oth­er
families nearby. They reasoned that
in order to keep the good will of their
customers, it was necessary for them
to lend the cleaner to their neighbors
whenever their carpets got dirty. Many
accidents happened to the machine, but
the owners always managed to get it-repaired
in time for the next borrower.
* * *
A dust storm passed that way and
our track gardeners saw a chance to
make some money. Instead of lending
the machine gratis, they rented it out,
but, because of the dust storm, no one
had any money, so the neighbors made
flowery promises to pay when times got
a little better. The dust storm killed the
flowers in most of the homes, but one
small family made periodical payments.
This went on until one night some­body
dropped a match and a red flame
enveloped the house.
Most of the neighbors, although an­other
dust storm was beginning to blow,
promised to send a few fire fighters.
Buckets of water and some ice and
snow which had been caused by an ex­tremely
cold winter held the fire back
momentarily, but the neighbors had
some trouble getting their fire engines
started, and the house was destroyed.
* * *
The final payment was made on the
vacuum cleaner, but all that was left
was a miscellaneous collection of junk
which was worn out and outdated . . .
and dirt still accumulated on the neigh­bors'
carpets!
* * *
Karrie, the Kampus Kandid Konver-sationalist,
has one thing in common
with us. We both profess great ad­miration
for Robert Nathan's books. We
respect him too greatly to speak of him
in jest, but Karrie facetiously quips,
"Nathan's "Winter in April" must have
been written in Auburn 1"

Creels Hold Family Attendance Record
At Auburn—Nine Sons and Daughters
THE Creel family of Jefferson Coun­ty
holds an unusual record for at­tendance
at Auburn.
Two brothers, J. M. Creel of Morris
and R. J. Creel of Warrior have to­gether
sent nine sons and daughters to
the Alabama Polytechnic Institute since
1917. Four members of the two fam­ilies
made letters in at least two major
sports and one member made two let­ters
in each sport.
Auburn post office box Number 842
was used for 15 consecutive years by
Creels in school here, and during that
time the post office was moved three
times.
J. P. Creel, eldest of the six chil­dren
of J. M. Creel, enrolled at Auburn
in 1917 and graduated with a MS de­gree
in agricultural education. He has
been superintendent of the Donald
Comer Mignon Mills for the past 14
years. He is a former president of the
State High School Athletic Association.
His brother, Homer Creel entered Au­burn
in 1918, and received his degree
in civil engineering. He has been with
TVA for several years.
Annie Creel came here in 1921 at
the age of 16 and graduated at the end
of three years. She is now teaching
school in Shelby County and is married
to a successful farmer in that county.
Ben Creel entered Auburn in 1922 and
received his degree in veterinary medi­cine.
He is now with the City Health
Department of Mobile. Edna Creel came
here in 1925 but married at the end
of her junior year. Arlie Creel entered
in 1928 but returned to his father's
farm at the end of one year, and has
now become a successful farmer.
Of the four sons of R. J. Creel to
enroll at the college here, two have al­ready
finished and two are here now.
The eldest E. M. Creel entered in 1921
and obtained his degree in agricultural
education. He is teaching vocational
agriculture at Macclenny, Fla. Carl
Creel came here in 1927 and received
his degree in agricultural education. He
is. now field representative for the
Farmer Marketing and Exchange As­sociation,
Montgomery.
Hubert and Elnomac Creel, youngest
members of the R. J. Creel family en­tered
Auburn last fall. Hubert is work­ing
for a degree in agricultural ad­ministration,
and Elnomac is studying
agricultural education.
Teagarden Has Record of Playing
In N umerous "IN ame » Band:
JACK Teagarden, who brings his or­chestra
to Auburn on April 26-27 to
play for the Senior Ball, was born in
Vernon, Texas in 1906. His family was
definitely musically inclined, father di­viding
time between cotton business
and playing the trumpet; mother taught
piano and played a number of instru­ments,
the flute, trumpet, trombone,
violin and guitar; sister Norma is a
pianist, while Charlie and Clois play­ed
trumpet and drums.
Jack's musical life began at 7! He
started taking lessons on the baritone,
merely to give him the proper mouth­piece
blowing power that a baritone re­quires.
Christmas, the following year,
he received a trombone from his Dad,
and although his arms were too short
for any but the first four positions, he
managed to play a few simple hymns
and one lively military march.
In San Antonio Jack, at 15, joined
his first orchestra. It was only a four-piece
combination that moved from one
roadhouse to another, but it gave him
a world of experience.
Jack "T" continued to work around
Texas for the next three years, playing
in more bands than he can ever hope
to remember. Finally one day he ran
into Wingy Mannone, the f a m o us
trumpet player, who after hearing Jack
play, advised him to go North where
he had an opportunity to prove his
worth.
Played With "Red" Nichols
On Wingy's advice Teagarden pack­ed
off for Chicago and his first "name"
job. It was with "Red" Nichols, who
was near the top of the musical ladder
at the time. Nichols hired Jack, the lat­ter
joining a group that consisted of
among others, Benny Goodman, Pee
Wee Russell, and Gene Krupa. With
Nichols, Jack turned out some tremend­ously
popular trombone solos for re­cordings,
including "Dinah", "On Re­vival
Day", "The Sheik", "Basin Street
Blues", and his own later signature,
"I've Got A Right To Sing The Blues."
It was while with Nichols that Tea-garden
discovered, quite by accident
that he also had a good blues singing
voice. Shortly after joining "Red", and
during a recording, Scrappy Lambert,
the band's vocalist, failed to show up,
so Jack volunteered for a try. He was
a "hit." Since then his voice has be­come
nearly as well known as his trom­bone.
Leaving Nichols, Jack next went
with Tommy Gott, followed this with a
job with»Mal Hallett, both bands do­ing
all their work in the Middlewest.
Teagarden determined on a career in
the East, so again he packed up and
came to New York. It was 1927.
Joins Ben Pollack
Jack first saw Ben Pollack, and got
no farther. Ben had heard of Jack "T",
and hired him immediately. He continu­ed
with Polack five years, during which
time he probably made more recordings
than any other musician.
Following his stand with Pollack he
joined Paul Whiteman and for years
was featured as both vocalist and star
trombonist. He left Whiteman to form
his own orchestra, an ambition he's
nursed for a long time.
Alumni Office Aids
Cupid in Wisconsin
LAST June a dapper young University
of Wisconsin alumnus of the Class of
1934, back on the campus for class re­unions,
walked into the Alumni Records
office to inquire as to the present
whereabouts of a certain former class­mate.
She—yes, it was a member of the
opposite sex in whom he was interested
—had been a pretty nice girl on the
campus and he had dated her several
times.
Did the office know where she was
living? Had she married? The office had
and gave him all the vital information.
She was not married, it so happened,
and was living in a city not too distant
from our hero's home.
Not long ago the Records office re­ceived
a notice of the forthcoming mar­riage
of the pair with due thanks for
the "cooperation" in bringing about the
match. (ACP).

Returns To Tiger
Lionel Barrymore
Starred in Movie
Motion pictures, which once
gave actors and actresses their
identities as stars, are now remov­ing
those identities and replacing
them with new ones. So points out
Lionel Barrymore, who through
the "Dr. Kildare" pictures is be­coming
as well known as "Dr.
Gillespie," the part he plays, as he
is as Lionel Barrymore, eldest of
the Royal Family of stage and
screen.
His fan letters ask for medical
advice and recite symptoms, as a
result of his appearances as the
crusty old diagnositician, the
fourth of such appearances being
in "Dr. Kildare's Strange Case,"
the new Kildare story in which he
will be seen Thursday at the Tiger
Theatre.
Oddly enough, Barrymore says,
the first actor to gain a "char-acteridentity"
was Charlie Chap­lin,
back in silent days. When he
first appeared in pictures without
screen credit, as was then the cus-

Georgia Vanquishes
Auburn in 2 Games
Powerful Bulldog Team Wins With
Ease Here Friday and Saturday
Facing what is probably the strongest team in the con­ference,
the Georgia Bulldogs, on Drake Field, last Friday
and Saturday, the Tiger baseballers dropped a two-game
series by scores of 4-0 and 14-3.
In the first game on Friday the Plainsmen were shut
out by Bob Smith with a meager four hits. Pitchers Tommie
Mastin and Louis Diamond for Auburn were stingy with
blows also, allowing only five bingles, but faulty fielding
allowed for two runs. The Tigers ~~
were charged with four errors.
Georgia's four stolen bases also
counted in the scoring.
Woodie McNair, Auburn short­stop,
found his lost batting eye
and banged out three of the
squad's four hits. Charlie Rollo,
hard-hitting second baseman ac­counted
for the other safe blow,
a single in the ninth followed by
one of McNair's bingles. A fast
double play cut off these poten­tial
runs for the Tigers.
In Saturday's encounter, the
Bulldogs found their batting
range and blasted Charlie Kil-patrick
from the mound with a
six-run barrage in the second in­ning.
The Georgia team went on
from there to gather 15 hits and
combine them for 14 runs. The
Tigers garnered eight blows off
the pitching of Alex McCaskill
and put them together for three
runs. Four errors by the Plains­men
again aided the Bulldog's
cause.
Every Georgian except Pitcher
McCaskill garnered at least one
safe blow, with Cecil Kelly lead­ing
the parade slamming out three
for four and scoring four runs.
Jim Skipworth, first baseman, also
was credited with three hits. Cap­tain
Tommie Thompson and Ralph
Prazier each gathered two hits
for the Plainsmen.

Tigers Meet Three
Diamond Teams
During This Week
A full week faces the charges
of Coach Porter Grant this week
as the diamondmen run into a
slate of four games, one with
semi-pro opposition and one
against professional opponents.
This afternoon the Tigers meet
Lanett of the Valley League in
Lanett with Bill Andrews, now in
better shape than he was last
week, on the slab.
Tomorrow the team goes to
Gadsden to tangle with the Gads­den
Pilots of the Southeastern
League, a fast Class "B" outfit.
Southpaw Tommie Mastin, who
has come through with the goods
this year, is slated to be the toss-"
er.
Thursday the boys have a day
off, but back they'll go to the job
Friday when they play the first
of a two-game setto with Georgia
Tech on Drake Field. Dependable
Charlie Kilpatrick will get the
nod on that afternoon, and
"Smokeball Bill" Andrews is ex­pected
to return to the hillock on
Saturday for the second of the
Tech contests.
A note of optimism can be
heard this week, for catcher Dick
McGowen, who has been on the

Auburn Swamps
State Maroons
At Sfarkville
Bulger, Morgan, and
Dickinson Are Three
High Scorers in Meet
With giant Chet Bulger leading
the way with three first places,
Auburn's track and field aggrega­tion
downed Mississippi State's
Maroons for their first defeat on
their home track to the tune of
a 73%-52% score last Saturday
in Starkville.
"Chuck" Morgan stood second
to Bulger in point gathering
laurels with 14 markers scored as
he swept both hurdle events and
took a tie in the high jump at
5' 11". Dickinson garnered 11
points with a second in both the
100 and 220 and a first place in
the broad jump to rate third in
the scoring.
State started the meet off with
a bang when their ace dash man
France sped to a first place in the
hundred and other star men
brought in first place bacon in all
other running events, which in­cluded
the 220-yd. dash, the 440-
yd. run, the 880-yd. run, the mile
run and the two-mile run.
But Auburn was hanging on
closely with plenty of seconds and
thirds and as the weight events
were run off, forged into the lead.
The Orange and Blue swept the
discus, one, two, three with Bul­ger
first, Stephenson second and
Maddox third; the shot put with
Bulger first and Stephenson sec­ond;
and the javelin with Bulger
first and Bob Wilson, distance
man, a surprising third.
McLellan of State won the pole
vault with a mark of 12' 8" with
Hall of Auburn second, but the
Tigers roared back with two more
sweeps as Morgan, McGehee and
Singletary took all six places in
the 120-yd. high hurdles and the
220-yd. low hurdles.
State was hopelessly far be­hind
then, but Dickinson racked up
a first in the broad jump with a
leap of 22' 4 % " for good measure
which all added up to 73%-53%
and another laurel to Coach Wil­bur
Hutsell's almost incredible
dual meet record.
bench with an infected leg, has
returned to harness.
Other than behind the plate and
on the mound Coach Grant will
start his usual combination of
Frazier, Rollo, McNair, McClus-key,
Hurst, Thompson, and Ken­more
in this week's engagements.

groups, Scabbard and Blade, Blue
Key, and Tau Beta Pi.
Ernie Mills, guard, is one of
the new Scabbard and Blade mem­bers
and is a Blue Key neophyte.
"Babe" McGehee, rangy end
and hurdler, and "Boots" Strat­ford,

Auburn Thin-Gads
To Meet Georgia
Giant New Track To Be
Christened Saturday
Auburn will officially christen
its new track Saturday against its
oldest athletic rival, the Univers­ity
of Georgia. The eight-lane,
quarter-mile track, the pride of
Coach Hutsell's heart, is one of
the widest and best in the South.
The dual meet against the Bull­dogs
will be the only home meet
of the season for the Auburn
cinder squad.
With two victories already un­der
their belts, first place in the
tough Florida Relays, and a win
over Mississippi State Saturday,
the Tigers will be out for the
Bulldogs' hide next Saturday.
The Bulldogs have standout per­formers
in Vassa Cate, who runs
the hurdles, the dashes, and toss­es
the weights; Jim Fordham, well
known to Auburn folk as a driv­ing
fullback, who participates in
the weights and the dashes; and
Oliver Hunnicut, also known as a
footballer, in the dashes.
Among the thrilling individual
battles that will be seen on the
Auburn Stadium track Saturday

Judge Jones Speaks
Continued from page 1
When the time comes to consider
that question it is a matter for
the States and not for the CIO,
the Southern Conference for Hu­man
Welfare, and other radical
organizations to pass upon."
Judge Jones' speech was the
subject of widespread comment in
Auburn where there is widespread
anti-poll tax sentiment.
More than 100 undergraduates,
graduate, faculty, and visiting
members were present at the in­itiation
and banquet.
Dr. Ralph Doner, retiring pres­ident,
spoke briefly then turned
Phi Kappa Phi affairs over to Dr.
Charles Davis, incoming presi­dent.
