RIFLE TEAM GETS AUBURN PLAYERS
CLUSE SECUND IN RETURN FROM
4TH CORPS AREA
"Red" F. S. Arant was awarded
the Gamma Sigma Delta cup Fri­day
evening, April 17, for being
the best all round Junior on the
Ag. campus. The award took place
at the annual Ag. banquet held at
Smith Hall which proved to sur­pass
all occasions of the past.
The presentation speech was
made by Prof. Nichols, Pres. of
Gamma Sigma Delta, in which he
brought out the policy of the so­ciety
in awarding this cup each
year and what it meant to the cho­sen
one. He stated that it was a
reward for what had been done
but it in no way should call for a
slack up in his activities but on
the contrary it should be an inspira­tion
for him and others to do even
more.
In accepting the cup "Red"
thanked the members of Gamma
_Sigma Delta for the honor
had~bestowediipon him and
of his home surroundings and of
his father to whom he was indebt­ed
for the inspiration, and desire
to make good.
Had the society searched far
and wide they could not have
found a more deserving man upon
whom to bestow their honor for
"Red" is one of the most active
and best liked men on the Ag.
campus as well as making about
the highest grades possible.
WILSONIANS WIN DEBATE
"The Negro Exodus from the
South is beneficial to the South" is
the question on which the Wilson-ian
debating team, debating on the
affirmative side, won a victory
from the Freshman Literary Socie­ty
representatives. The debate in­dicated
that much work had been
done by the members of both
teams.
J. B. Sylvest and "Rat" C. D.
Greentree represented the Wilson-ian
while Rats Kurtz and Merri-wether
represented the Freshman
Society. The judges were, Prof. Rut­land,
Prof. Lindsey and Mr. David­son,
the Methodist student pastor.
The president of the Wilsonian
congratulated the Freshmen' on the
fine showing that they made in
the debate. A committee was ap­pointed,
by the president, to make
plans for a picnic which will be
held in the near future.
A. I. E. E. HOLDS
ELECTION OF OFFICERS
The election of officers for the
A. I. E. E. was held Wednesday,
April 15, at the engineering audi­torium.
The following officers were
chosen: for president, C. W. Mc-
Mullen; Vice president, Prof. Doug­lass;
secretary and treasurer, W.
E. Hooper; Plainsman reporter, J.
P. McArdle.
The committee reported on the
by-laws for the organization which
were amended and adapted. «,
On Sunday afternoon, April 10,
the first of a series of Band Con­certs
by the well known Auburn
Band was given in front of Lang-don
Hall. The members of the
band made a very pleasing appear­ance
in their new uniforms and
rendered a program worth coming
miles to hear.
Auburn is proud of its band
which is noted throughout Alaba­ma,
Georgia and other Southern
States for the music they render.
Last fall a drive was started to
buy new uniforms for the Band.
The drive was successful and the
new uniforms, not to be surpassed
by any other college in the South,
have been obtained. The concerts
are being given partly as an appre­ciation
of the help given in obtain­ing
the uniforms and partly to ad­vertise
the college.
The popularity of the concerts
was shown by the large attend­ance/
of both students and out of
t o ^ n visitors. No doubt but the
number of visitors will continue
cr-case. -a_s the- si-wis-af JCQUC er.ts..

Annual Banquet
Held By Ag.
Club
The Auburn Players have just
returned from a very successful
tour of five Alabama cities. The
places they played are: Montgom­ery,
Selma, Montevallo. Ensley, and
Sylacauga.
The trip was a success both dra­matically
and financially. Prof.
Jones says that the productions on
the road were superior to the one
on the campus. This is the first
time that the Players have been
on such a long trip, and it is the
first time that the productions
have been financially successful.
Everywhere the Players perform-
Never before in the history of
this Institution has such a banquet
been hold and carried out with
such perfection as was the annual
Ag. banquet which was held at
Smith Hall last Friday night. Prof.
Eaton was toastmaster of the oc­casion
and certainly kept pace
with the evening's activities. The
Ag. club is to be commended and
congratulated on the most highly
enjoyable evening's entertainment
which was enjoyed by all. Probab­ly
the sentiment of the occasion
was best brought out by the re­mark
of C. C. Smith when he said,

FRESHMAN LIT. SOCIETY
EPWORTH LEAGUE OFFICERS
Sam Mosley of Montgomery, Al­abama,
was elected to head the
Epworth League during the first
semester of next term, at the regu­lar
meeting last Sunday night. Mos­ley
was a very prominent league
worker in Montgomery before com­ing
to Auburn and should make the
league a great success in Auburn.
C. ,A. Smith was elected as vice
president; E C. Dean, secretary;
Dan Sikes, treasurer, and J. B. Ste­wart
as Era agent and publicity
man.
Students and young people have
shown a great interest in the lea­gue
during this term and give
promise to more interest for next
year.
There was no regular meeting of
the Freshman Literary Society last
Monday night but the Freshman
and the Wilsonian met together on
Tuesday night. This meeting was
occasioned by the semi-finals of the
debate. Two representatives from
the Freshman and two from the
Wilsonian debated. The Freshman
had the negative side of this ques­tion,
Resolved: The Migration of
Negroes from the South is bene­ficial
to the South. Mr. Merriweath-er
and Mr. Kurtz were their repre­sentatives.
The debate was hotly
contested but the Wilsonians finally
won. Mr. Merriwether and Mr.
Kurtz deserve not one whit less
praise on account of their loss in
the final decision. They worked
hard on this subject and they work­ed
with a will. It is the spirit in
which one enters a thing that
counts and not the way in which it
comes out.
There will be a regular meeting
of the society next week with a
regular program. There are several
members who have not as yet been
on the program twice, and these
membes will be taken care of at the
next meeting. The following week
after that elections will be held.
SENIOR BANQUET TICKETS
The committee on the Senior
banquet is now ready to sell tickets
to all Seniors wishing to'attend
the annual affair. The chairman
of this committee is Donald Cath-carl
who will be glad to sell Sen­iors
tickets right now.
the best of these was at Monte­vallo.
Due to the inspiration
of the audience, or possibly one of
the audience, the line spoken by
Garrick, "I played for her and her
alone" was mdre than appropriate.
A large reception was given the
Players in Montevallo and several
smaller ones in the other places.
The Players carried their own
scenery with them. Although this
was very expensive it was in the
opinion of the director, worth the
expense to have stage settings show
up well.
David Wright as "David Garrick"
again did himself honor as an ac­tor.
His interpretation of the part
was good from the beginning but
on the road he excelled himself.
Sudie Dowdell as "Ada Ingot"
was as charming as-David Garrick
could hope for his bride to be. Her
winsomeness won from her audi­ence
enthusiastic applause.
Robert Leary as "Squire Chivy"
has won for himself a name in
playing the part of a typical Eng­lish
squire. f
"Red" Roberts as "Simon In­got"
made his first appearance
with the Players on this trip. He
was very good at all performances
but we hear he was especially good,
at Montevallo.
These people who took the
leadiong roles were excellently
supported by the other members
of the cast. These are: Agnes In­gram
as "Mrs. Smith," Alma Bent-ley
as "Arminta Brown," Bill Wall
as "Mr. Brown," Phil Tippin as
"Mr. Jones," F. E. Bertram as "Mr.
Smith" and Dryden Baughman as
the Butler.
The Players have made many,
successful strides since the com­ing
of Prof. Jones as director but
this event overshadows them all.

dred or more such occasions and I
must say this is the best yet."
. About seven-thirty the hoary
Hirams together with Iheir belles
assembled at Smith Hall where
they were presented with head
dressings very fitting to the occa­sion.
As was to be expected, in the
few minutes that preceded the
eats those who felt so inclined
indulged, in the noble art of fol­lowing
their noses about over the
spacious compartment to the tune
of the Rat Orchestra who also per­formed
in harmony with the
night's festivities.
As the guests assembled to the
scene of action the "Swiss Bell
Ringers" heralded the opening, fol­lowed
in close succession by the
members of the Holstein Fresian
Club, who brought back many fond
memories of eventide about the old
milking shed.
With no mention, yet awhile as
to the eats, the evening's entertain­ment
opened by several selections
from the Freshman Orchestra. Al­though
the evening contributed
much in the way of music the best,
most appealing, and, sweetest music
rendered was given by Miss Lucile
Frasier of Opelika in her charming
personality and clear, sweet voice.
She cast a spell over her audience
as if by magic. Miss Frasier was
accompanied at the piano by Mrs.
Giles, also of Opelika.
The program committee was
very fortunate indeed in getting
the Tuskegee quartet to render sev­eral
selections during their stop
over in Auburn en route to Boston.
To any lover of music who did not
hear this feature a treat was miss­ed
for the bass voice was excellent
and the ease with which the tenor
reached, the high notes was noth­ing
short of talent.
To add diversification to the pro­gram
some local talent of the dark
town revue was enjoyed for a time.
After the musical selections Prof.
Isbell was called on to present
some twenty members of the Senior
class with Ag. club diplomas given
to those who for four years have
During the regular Convocation
periods for Freshmen on Tuesday
and Upper Classmen on Thursday
of last week the nominees for Y.
M. C. A. officers for the coming
year were voted upon. The nomi­nations
were made by the senior
members of the Friendship Coun­cil
Cabinet, the official working or­gan
of the Y. and much consider­ation
was given each man before
he was placed on the ballot. The
fact was clearly shown when the
ballots were counted as all candi­dates
ran very close in the number
of votes obtained.
The officers elected are as fol­lows
: i
Caleb Bernard Burgoyne, Mobile,
president; John Buford Carter,
Athens, vice president; P. T. Ray,
Auburn, secretary; William Shir­ley
Herron, Chattanooga, Tenn,
treasurer.
The annual Friendship Council
Banquet will be held soon at whichw
time the new officers will accept
the duties of office.
CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR
Mr. Miles talked at C. E. last Sun­day
night on "Our Church," and
enlightened Ithe audience greatly
on many points. Very few church
members know many statistics rela­tive
to their church, especially the
younger ones.
Next Sunday the topic for dis­cussion
will be "Friendliness as ex­pressed
through Educational Mis­sions."
The leader will be L. F. Mc-
Connell. ' ,•
may be seen most anV time leading
his brigade about from place to
place or calling to them as an old
hen would, should he happen to
find a choice parcel of food.
This phenomena was brought
about by Joe Young, sometimes
known as "Country, Dizz, etc., and
is being carried on as a source of
material for thesis work. From all
indications he/will get plenty of
material.
The most exciting and most look­ed
for part of the program for the
members of the Junior class pres­ent,
was the presentation of the
cup to the best all round Junior in
the Ag. department. After a few
minutes of deliberation and speak­ing
on the part of Prof. Nichols,
Pres. Gamma Sigma Delta, the cup
was presented, to Mr. F. S. (Red)
Arant. He received the cup and
expressed his gratitude to the mem­bers
of Gamma Sigma Delta and
his father, in a short account of his
family history which led to him
being here at Auburn.
As the hour grew ripe Dr. Dow-rfl
was called" upon to introduce
Senator Bowling, the speaker of the
evening. In making his shor.t and
impressive talk Dr. Dowell resorted
to bits of poetry which were in­strumental
in expressing his point.
Senator Bowling was introduced
as a friend to Auburn. His even­ing's
speech centered around Au­burn's
needs and the inadequate
accommodations that we have. He
spoke of our need for more finan­cial
support and the meager facili­ties
we have for getting it. "Any
State," he says "that can afford to
appropriate twenty-five million dol­lars
for better roads should be able
to give ten times this amount to the
development of its young men and
young women who attend Auburn."
And, last but not least we ap­proach
the subject of eats. It is the
will of the writer to say that
sprinkled along between all of these
various forms of entertainment
were many courses of delicaces
and to voice due credit to those
who prepared the dinner I repeat
the words of "Sleepy" Guy W. But-trani
when he said, "Well, this is
the first time I ever spent four
hours eating one meal," so it must
have been a burner.

Members of the class of '26 are among its members a number of
strong men who have Auburn at
heart and are ready to bring things
to the front.
Auburn sends out a challenge to
the Junior Class to accept the re­sponsibility
that will be theirs dur­ing

1 FACULTY WHO'S WHO
fc--<
DEAN FUNCHESS
"Facts" FnnchesS, dean of the ag-ricultural
college is not, by birth
or education, an Alabama man. He
came originally from Orangeburg
County, South Carolina. His very
early education was received in the
gramma* schools of that district
and the high school whit& he at­tended
was located in Denmark,
South Carolina. Clemson College
next claimed him for a four year
course and conferred a B. S. degree
on him in 1»0». A year at the Uni­versity
of Wisconsin gave him the
degree of M. S.
His real work began in Auburn
in September of 1911 at which
time he took the position of assist­ant
professor of agronomy. In 1916
he was promoted to professor of
agronomy. Advance came again in
1921 at which time he became as­sistant
dean and director of the
experiment station in the College
of Agriculture.
Dean t'unchess is one of the most
widely known Agronomists in the
South and is an authority on "South­ern
crops and crop conditions. He
is known far and wide for his
practicability in the application of
agricultural principles. His papers
and addresses are an important
factor in the Southern and Nation­al
agricultural conferences. He is
a member of the Gamma Sigma
Delta, agricultural honor fraternity,
Phi Kappa Phi, a shriner, and a
member of the Alpha Gamma Rho
social fraternity.
Last, but not least, is the opinion
of the students who work under
him. A student says, "Facts" Fun-chess
lives up to his nickname. He
"puts out" the facts aud doesn't
worry with a lot of extras, aud is
impartial!" Such impartiality is a
trait that few attain.
Dean Funchess has climbed to
one of the highest positions in the
institution. He is one of the young­est
men carrying so large a respon­sibility.
Ability, application, and
good hard work have made this
possible.
0. K. LEBR0N MAKING
A GOOD RECORD
Another Auburn man, O. K. Le-bron,
formerly of Wetumpka. who
was graduated in the class of 1924
in mechanical engineering, has
registered a high record with one
of the large 'manufacturing con­cerns
of the north, the White Mo­tor
Co., of Cleveland, accordrng to
letters received by l>ean J. J. Wil-inore,
of the engineering college.
Dean Wilmor?, in line with his
policy each year, assists the rep­resentatives
of leading manufac­turing
companies in tne selection
of young men capable of qualify­ing
in the work of the respective
companies.
"•The man you helped us s-.-lect,
LcBron, has proved one of the best
men that we have selected, either
in this group or at any other time,"
wrote Franklin T.j Jones, super­visor
of training, while C. S. Cook,
regional service manager of the
White Motor Co., added the fol­lowing
statement: "I know you
will be interested to hear that Mr.
(). K. LeBron has been very suc­cessful
and ranks at the top of Ihe
list of training students who are
successfully carrying on our train­ing
course."

entertained on Friday night with
its annual spring dance at the fra­ternity
home. The house was beau*
lifully decorated in purple, green
and gold, the fraternity colors.
Sreamers of purple, green and gold
crepe paper were fastened across
the ceilings and down the walls
of the rooms. Bright ballons and
lighted Jack o' lanterns added to
the gaiety of the scene.
A very large crowd, including a
number of out of, town guests, was
present and enjoyed the hospitali­ty
of the fraternity. Attractive fa­vors
in the form of Lambda Chi
Alpha pennants in purple, green
and gold were given to each girl.
Paper caps, confetti, serpentine.etc
in the fraternity colors made the
occasion still more merry and
gUy". A spirit of fun and good time
pre ailed the entire dance.
Delightful music was furnish:d
by the Tommy Jones orchestra,
which was at its best. Punch was
served during the evening. Mrs.

interest, for the speaker was the
head of the Chemical Department,
Dr. B. B. Ross. Dr. Ross gave a
very interesting talk on Radio ac­tivity
and the structure of the
atom. He had some novel Charts
which presented; the structure of
the atom in a graphic way. The
structure of the atom is one of
perennial interest and those mem­bers
of the society who failed to
hear Dr. Ross have only themselves
to blame.
WEBSTERIAN SOCIETY
The society was called to order
by the pres. A debate was planned
but due to the lack of preparation
the debate was postponed.
Impromptu speeches were made
by several members of the society.
Georgia Thomas, a senior, realizing
that her days were short and num­bered,
made a very interesting ap­peal
to the society to take more
interest in society work. E. F. Wil­liams
expressed his appreciations
for the many benciits which he re­ceived
while Attending. "Cannon
Ball" Purser made a talk on "his
trip to Lake Condy." W. A. Harvey
made a farewell talk to the society
and friends which he has been so
faithful to. The critic, I. S. Johnson
made a very interesting talk on "If
called upon talk whether you. have
any subject prepared or not." C. M.
Kearns rose and,let'the society take
a look'at "Daddy" Kearns. Clyde
Hendrix mentioned several business
matters. After this business was

GLEE CLUB CLOSES
SUCCESSFUL SEASON
Bringing to a close its most suc­cessful
season the Auburn Glee-
Club rendered its farewell pro­gram
in Langdon Hall last Tuesday
evening. Although this was the
third appearance of the Glee Club
in Auburn, the attendance was
very large.
As usual the program was very
good and called for numerous ap­plauses.
Perhaps no special (fea­tures
were outstanding but each
one called for its share of the
praise. Solos by Mr. Francis and
by Mr. Strong were enjoyed very
much. The mandolin club has nev­er
failed to add to the occasion
iHUchj pleasure. Tom Jones and his
orchestra caused numerous . ones
in the audience to long to trip the
light fantastic toe. And the piano
duets by Mr. Boyd and Mr. Moid-ton
brought cheers from every
nook and corner of the house.
The Glee Club under the direc­tion
of P. K. Bidez has made two
successful Umrsveii different sec­tions
of Alabama this year and has
at every Point met with praise.
The Glee Club gives much publici­ty
to the college on these tours
and serves to display some of the
talent found at Auburn.
After the program the election of
officers for the year 1925-26 was
held. The officers are as follows:
R. E. Johnson, president; Frank
Crow, vice president; C. B. Burg­oyne,
advertising manager; M. G.
Smith, business manager.
was held at live-thirty on the Ag.
campus.
Myrlee Feulner, the Blue Ridge
chairman, had charge of the meet­ing
and the program. She placed
attractive posters about the town,
which told of Blue Ridge and of
the coming meeting. Beth Seibold,
as one of the joint chairmen of the
Social Committee, helped plan the
little supper which was spread on
the grass.
Blue Ridge songs were sung and
a great deal of enthusiasm was
created. Talks were given by girls
who had been to Blue Ridge, Doro­thy
bugger, Georgia Thomas, Al­berta
Proctor, and Emily Hare.

SPEAKS TO STUDENTS
•Speaking on the theme of charac­ter
building thru proper apprecia­tion
of the fine arts, Mrs. Charles J.
Sharp, prominent civic leader 0|
Birmingham, declared that, she -was
grad that Au'burn has not'Onty in its
curriculum agricultural: and engin­eering
education but adequate train
ing in the arts; including music, as
well.- Mrs. Sharp, convocation speak
er' before upper classmen, was intro­duced
'by President Spright Doweil
as one of the leaders in the. civic de­velopment
of Birmingham' and the
state and a genuine friend of Al­burn.
Prior to the address Doctor Dow-ell
gave the oath to nine students
who will constitute the student
council for the collegiate year; l£?5-

presided.
Mrs,. Sharp' described what Ala­bama
had done in various wars of
this nation, mentioning Richmond,
Pearson, Hobson and Joseph Wheel­er.
She added, however, that 'ifi
spite of the state's' heritage in. pat­riotism
she stands fourth from the
bottom in education,. She urged her
hearers .to. demand-the best in edu­cation
of future1 governors and leg­islatures.
She also admonished the students
to do all of their work, whatever it
might be from the artistic stand­point.

"I believe that the greatest hap­piness
on earth is to have health,
self-approval, that sense of tri­umph
which comes from being
your own master, able to do the
things, big and little, which you
know you ought to do and can do.
But this joy of living will come
only to the man who has learned
self-discipline. Most of us know
what we ought to do, and what we
ought not to do. In nine cases out
of ten, physical breakdowns are

to lack of self-control- Watch your­self
for one single day. See how
often you transgress what you
know to be the principles of
health. There lies the secret of
physical well-being."
The man who opens his mind to
knowledge is on his way to a bet­ter
job and to a keener enjoyment
of life. »

HEALTH CLASS OF HIGH
SCHOOL FIGHTING FLIES
i -
The following i3 t h e second of the
series of high school themes on. t he
subject of health and flies. It Is by
Mabel Price.
Tlie Most Dangerous Animal Known
Have you ever stopped to think
what the most dangerous animal you
know is? That is, the one which
kills more people, does more dam­age
to our community. If t h e pso-ple
of today were educated as to t he
danger and harm of this animal
they would try to prevent its in­crease
and destroy it. That's what
we want.
The health class of Lee county
high school in a field trip found
t h a t in Auburn there were five open
sewers, 12 open closets and many
filthy stables and other places where
this animal or better classified as an
insect, the fly, breeds. The fly
causes about two-thirds of the
deaths of today while t h e l i t t l e one-t
h i r d is left for accidents and a few
diseases. Prom this insect we get
the germs of sore eyes, tuberculosis,
typhoid, dysentery, cholera, diarr­hea,
hookworm, anthrax, diphtheria
and fifty-one other diseases.
People seldom think of t h e dan­ger
caused by flies, but i t has be<m
actually proved that one flyspeck
may contain five million tuberculosa
germs.
Did you know t h a t one fly t an
breed five trillion other flies, or
enough which if laid side by side
would reach around the world eight
times and, if piled up would make a
pile forty-seven feet high and forty-seven
feet thick each way? How
many diseases a n d probably deaths
you co"uld save if you would pick
up a fly swatter and kill just one
fly.
The t h r e e " F ' s " in flies are fillh,
fever and ifunerals. So to have flies
we must have filth or in other words
a place for them to breed. Flie3
carry filth from the privy vault,
they breed in filth from t h e garbage
can and feed on filth from the sick
room. "We never stop to tiMnib *f
-things_IJJ?e_tliait_ when we see a f%
on our food or on a baby's mouth,
altho we should.
F i l t h and flies mean death. All
of us have heard t h a t before but
very few people do more t h a n hear
it. That is what I am trying to
stress most for in Alabama, on ac
count of t h e climate, fifes are breed;
ing now. Now is t h e best time to
check their growth and its is every
body's business that 'knows. What
we want most now is t h a t everybody
should know.
In 1918 neglect and ignorance
cost 6,000 lives of babies, 4,000 cas­es
of tu'berculosis, 900 of typhoid,
800 of malaria and 500 cases of sore
eyes. If we a r 6 strong enough to
keep good health, money and hap­piness
will be the results.
To have health and happiness we
m'ust t r y to keep down t h e flies. D;
stroy or remove filth is the most
important thing, because then you
are keeping things sanitary and
preventing increase of flies. Protect
food and drink, screen the sick
room, use fly paper, swatter, poison
or anything that will rid us of some
of these numerous flies. Heed the
old saying, "Get t h e fly or the fly
will get you". If the flies have been
given a chance to breed, it will take
them only 14 days to become grown,
and ready to s t a r t their work of
carrying disease. What we need
most, next to destroying the breed­ing
places is to screen our houses to
keep this dangerous insect away
from our food and our shelves.
Eighteen mesh is the 'best used be­cause,
while keeping out flies, it
also keeps out t h e mosquitoes, which
also is a dangerous incest.
If we educate, organize, act, de­stroy
breeding places, keep filth
covered, kill all our wintered flies,
make all privys fly proof, keep
houses wel screened, begin fly kill­ing
at home, trap and swat th© fly

O T I S
'T'HE co-ordination of commercial strength, arch-
* itectural vision and engineering skill which
created this titanic quadruple office building repre­sents
the motive and creative force which has turned
the eyes of the world toward this type of American
architecture.
This, the largest office building in the world, pos­sesses
fundamentally magnificent largeness in its
conception, and a clean-cut directness in its execu­tion
which place it among the most significant of
American buildings.
With such existing structural achievements no arch­itectural
future is impossible, no project too vast
or too complex to come readily to our imagination.
Certainly modern invention—modern engineering
skill and organization, will prove more than equal
to the demands of the architecture of the future.

"One out of every six college
students in the United States is
studying some branch of engineer­ing,"
H. P. Hammond, former pro­fessor
of civil and hydraulic en­gineering
at Brooklyn Polytechnic
Institute, declared at convocation
here.
Mr. Hammond represents the so­ciety
for the promotion of en­gineering
education, financed by
the Carnegie corporation which a
few years ago rated Auburn as one
of the leight leading engineering
colleges in the United States.
"There are more than 60,000 en­gineering
students in the United
States, which is by far more than
any other nation," the speaker
said. "For each of these students
the average expense is $500 a year,
making a total of over $30,000,000
yearly spent by students taking
engineering courses.
"The survey has proved that
practically all the colleges are fol­lowing
good engineering practices
and procedure and that all con­clusions
are being based on facts.
With all these things, which are a
great advantage to boys, however,
there ai'e only 4 out of every ten
who begin engineering courses
that finish and take up the work
as a life vocation."

TIGERS SPLIT SERIES
WITH COMMODORES
HOME RUNS FEATURE BOTH
GAMES
The Tigers, due to some excel­lent
twirling on the part of Dog
Face Sheridan and four home runs,
two by "Gcechie" Stewart, fumed
back Vanderbilt in the ifirst. en­counter
of the series, 7 to 3^ Sheri­dan
sent the foemen back in regu­lar
order until the sixth round, no
man being able to reach the initial
sack until this time, when Moss,
the Commodore Iwirler, was pass­ed.
Until the eighth, inning : it
seemed as though the Tiger
naoundsman was out to turn in a
game of the no-hit variety. During
this frame, however, he weakened
and allowed the opposition to tally
thrice on a trio of bingles.
The Plainsmen were the first to
register a tally. After two were
tucked away in that, third, Stewart
bunged out a four base wallop-into
left center. Allen followed < with a
hit over third, and succeeded in
reaching the warm corner .after
two Commodores had erred. Wallis
left him stranded by popping over
first.
Three hits netted; two more for
ifie Bengals in the fifth. With one
•bht<'Maury singled over second.
Sfretfida-p sent him on to second,
when he also singled over the key­stone.
Stewart hit the first ball
pitched into the outer reaches of
the center garden for his second
circuit clout of the day.
The Bengals added a quartet
more for good measure at the ex­pense,
of Mr. Moss, who, at this
stage, was still handling the hurl­ing
assignment for the Tennessee
boys. Wallis singled over third.
Griffin hit a long drive into left
for the round trip, Wallis scoring
ahead of him. Hughes was thrown

through short. Joe Market
then hit the second Tiger homer
of the inning, the blow swelling
the Tiger total to seven runs.
Sheridan eased up a little in the
eighth, and allowed the opposing
forces three hits and as many
runs. The Tiger slab artist was not
altogether at fault, however, as his
mates piled up a total of live bob­bles
behind him. Eight Vandymen
strode to the platter in this disas­trous
frame.
Ledyard got the first Vandy hit
of the day, a single into center
field. Hughes allowed the ball to
slip through his mitts and it rolled,
over the dump. Ledyard then came
ail the way around. Stewart tossed
out Yearwood. Ed Allen threw
wild lo first allowing Sanders to
arrive safely. Miller singled to
right. Sanders taking third. Larry
hit to Allen, who forced Miller at
second. On an attempted double
play, Allen threw wild to first, Lar­ry
going safe. Sanders ^scored.
Larry swiped second, and, scored
on Lancaster's hit to center. "Nig"
Waller went safe on Stewart's bob­ble.
The crowd breathed easier
when Rolling, hitting for Orr
siruck out to end the inning.

SECOND GAME
Gill Reese, Vandy grid luminary,
who holds .forth at third for the
diamond' aggregation, evened tjie
count for the series by slapping
out two blows to the far corners at
opportune moments. These blows
were responsible for a full half
dozen Gold and Black tallies, Van­dy
defeating Auburn 7 to C. -;
Each team used a pair of twirl-ers,
the elongated Mr, Hines giv­ing
way to Sitz to start the fourth,
with McKibbon getting the gate
in the fifth when the Tigers were
slamming his offerings to the four
corners. He was relieved by Lar­ry
who got the relief assignment
Friday.
The game was hotly contested,
throughout, each side making sev­eral
threats with negative results.
Good fieldirtg stayed off several
hits.

HOW TIGERS
ARE BATTING
Ed Allen is the leading swatsmith
with a juicy .400 average, while
there are six other Tigers packing
an average of .300 or better. The
Selma citizen also has the niost
hits, and is second in number of
runs scored. Captain Red Griffin
has been packing a mean wallop
recently and now leads in home
runs, with four, and in runs scored,
with thirteen. (May he break this
unlucky mark next Saturday.)

"Includes one tie for second in
Tech meet.
Opponent's total—61%.
The Commodores came, the Com­modores
saws—but they only half­way
conquered. And oh! how
close they came to not conquering
at all.
That old rallying habit seems lo
have been acquired "by the Tigers.
On two straight Saturdays now
they have staged an old-timer, and
are promising to make things un­safe
for any team, no matter what
the lead.
With the score 7 to 1 against
them in the fifth they went to bat
and scored five runs, brought the
score up to 7-6, and gave the Van-s
dymen a compound case of heart
failure and paralysis. ,
It is not expected that the big-boy
wil| have much time to loosen
up this Saturday, as judging by
the box-scores, the Tcchmen have
a regular Murderers' Row, and will
be likely to keep any pitcher on
his toes.
And had i! not been for a little
loo.se base-running the Commodores
would have felt much worse, since
•one run was wasted by failure to
put on the brakes at second.
While the baseballers were
fighting off Vanderbilt the track-sters
were over in Atlanta fighting
off the whole South. And they did
very well, too. How well they ac­tually
did do, cannot be staled ex­actly,
since no scores were count­ed.
If scores had been counted, the
Tigers would have had thirteen,
which would have entitled them to
second place. These thirteen points
were accumulated by Messrs. Lock,
Greene, Nelson and Speck White.
Lock, as usual, won the pole vault,
Greene took second in the broad
jump and third in the century,
Nelson gained a second in the cen­tury,
and Speck White look third
n the javelin.

enough for all practical purposes,
as the main object is to keep the
other team from scoring as much
as/one's own team, and Dog-Face
did this to perfection.
The tournament sponsored by the
Tennis Club is now in full swing,
two rounds having been played,
with the finals to be completed be­fore
the week is over. This tour­ney
is for the purpose of selecting
the men to represent Auburn in the
S. I. C. meet in Chapel Hill, N. C.,,
this spring.
—Next- week- rhTr-tfeitMcv-TCOirfeste
will be held in order to select the
best team to go to Chapel Hill. This
tourney is expected to bring out
some first class playing, as there
are several good tennis players on
the campus, who, when paired up
properly, form a combination that
will go far against and competi­tion.
Sixteen men were entered in the
singles tourney, and some fast and
furious games were offered in the
first two rounds. Doughtie was
conceded the best chance in the
tourney, but due to the stiff oppo­sition
in front of him, it is by no
means certain that he will come
through. Cartter, Ball, and Tra-wick
are especially formidable and
it would not be at all surprising
to see one of them in the finals.
The results up until Wednesday
afternoon:
FIRST ROUND
Doughtie b'ea't Turner.
Carter beat Blake.
Butler beat Moore.
Trawick beat Woodroot.
Garvin beat Lynn.
Bell beat McElderry.
Sellars beat Ware.
Adams beat Naftel,
The opponents for the second
round are: <{
Doughtie vs. Carter.
Butler vs. Trawick.
Garvin vs. Bell.
Sellars vs. Adams.
After all, it remained for a high
school boy to carry off the honors
of the meet. Hamm, of Lonoke
High, Arkansas, captured the high
school broad jump. His time in
the hundred was ten flat, and his
distance in the judtp was twehty-fpW
feet, two inches. The win­ning
time in the- collegiate century-was
ten and one-fifth and the win­ning
broad jump was twenty-one

Coach Newell ailtl his hirelings

Columbus last Saturday morning'to
do battle with the high school lads
of the Industrial High of that city.
The result of this ^hectic struggle
was most gratifying from an -Au­burn
standpoint as the Freshmen
annexed the scalps of their oppo­nents
with the final outcome heav­ily
in thei^ favor by the topheavy
count of 12 to 0. In their win the
Rats not only demonstrated their
ability to smash the old agate and

the Industrious youths, in a very

will be a fixture at second for the
rest of the season.
When it comes down to the kings
of swat in last week's game Cliff
Akin and Hitchcock lead the field,
The Notasulga slugger gathered a
four sacker and a double for his
part in the win while the former
Troy Normal star connected up for
three doubles in the course of the
struggle. Fobb James socked two
on the nose for safeties while Hard-w^
ek, n6r"cb"nteiffed-with turning
in j" a perfect performance on the
mound, slapped out a single to
score a couple of men.
The Freshman baseball squad is
about as smooth working a ma­chine
as you'll find around this
part of the country. The fact that
they have only lost a couple of
contests speaks for itself, especial­ly
when it is to be considered that
the Junior Jackets lucked out on
one of these, despite a beautiful
performance. Kirk Newell is main­ly
responsible for Ihe great success
of the present season, for, with a
late start, coupled with a lack of
material, not the men themselves,
but uniforms, etc., he has built up
a combination worthy to represent
Auburn on any field. With such
a trained body of ball-tossers grad­uating
into the Varsity class and
the "law o | averages" in inevitable
operation, the big team is due for
a great season next year on Dixie
Diamonds.
Friday finds the Tiger Cubs
hosts to another mighty bloodthirs­ty
enemy when they tackle the
Troy Normal squad in what prom­ises
to be a game well worth wit­nessing.
Wood, the mainstay of
the Frosh hurling staff, will prob­ably
draw the chunking assign­ment
for the first game. The sec­ond,
which begins at two o'clock
Saturday afternoon just before the
big team locks horns with Tech,
will probably find Potter on tile
mound for the Bengal Babes, It is
not known yet who will do the
boxwork for the Normalites, but
whoever he may be he has our sym­pathy.
This game will give Hitch­cock
a chance to strut his stuff be­fore
his former team mates.

noHN BARRYMORE himself would
"get the hook" if he did. not
know his cues, or read his lines
as called for by the action of
the play.
Engineers get cues, too—
from the industrial drama of
which they are a part. Like ac­tors,
their performance must fit
the action of an economic play.
Thus the reason that the
j o u r n a l s , the societies, the
schools, colleges, teachers, and
Well-known public men are
tinging engineers to study eco­nomics—
to learn the nature
and effect of economic laws.
To build the largest genera­tor
or the smallest meter, for
example, is not always in itself
a great engineering feat. The
feat consists in having it ready
at a time, a price, and with
such features as the prevailing
economic situation calls for.
In this sense engineers—
and particularly Westinghouse
engineers—must be "practicing
economists". They must follow
closely the "action of the play"
—analyzing fundamental con­ditions
in every field, and
calculating their causes and
probable effects.
All this, so that when a cue is
spoken in factory or home, on
farm or railroad, on the sea or
in the air, they may be ready.
This advertisement is eighth in a vocational series, outlining the fields
for engineering achievement in the Westinghouse organization.
A copy of the entire series will be sent to anyone requesting it.
