Softball Practice
Begun by Greeks
With basketball season nearly
over, Softball practice has been
started by fraternities, and by the
interest shown so far a close race
is assured.
The Beta Kappa's and the Pi
K A's, last year's final teams, are
favorites to repeat this year. Both
have good prospects in their fresh­man
classes, which will strengthen
both teams and fill the holes made
by graduation.
Play in the tourney will begin
soon after spring holidays are
over. •
Agricultural Education Seniors Take
Over Practice Teaching Next Week
Auburn-Tennessee
Swim At Gym Today
Tigers Fighting for
.500 Average for Year
Auburn's swimming team, with
a record of one win out of three
meets, will meet Tennessee's tank
squad this afternoon in Alumni
Gym. Capt. Henry Mohns said to­day
that a definite time could not
be announced, but that it will be
posted on downtown store win-dows*
when decided upon.
Winning from Emory and los­ing
to Georgia Tech earlier in the
season, the Auburn tanksters hope
to avenge their defeats and fin­ish
the year with a .500 average.
The lineup today will be prac­tically
the same as in last week's
contest with Georgia Tech, with
one or two changes. The Auburn
entrants are as follows:
220-yard free-style: Gammage,
McCall, and Austin.
100-yard free-style: Kelly and
McCall.
50-yard free-style: Yarbrough
and McCall.
Diving: Norvell and Austin.
Backstroke: Gammage and Kel-ly.
440-yard free-style: Gammage
and Kelly.
Breast-stroke: Mohns and Mil­ler.
Relay: White, Yarbrough, Nor­vell,
and Smith.
Following this afternoon's meet
several swimmers will continue
practice for the Southeastern
Conference in Atlanta next week.
The tournament is to be held
in Atlanta next Friday and Satur­day,
March 22 and 23. According
to swimming team members, the
entire team will not go.
'CO TO CHURCH'
CONTEST TO BE
DURING APRIL
The YMCA announced Wednes­day
that its annual interfraternity
"Go To Church" competition
would be held during the month
of April. A cup will be awarded
to the fraternity having the larg­est
percentage of its members at­tending
either morning or evening
services each Sunday during the
month.
Members on inspection trips and
those working on Sundays will be
expected. Members who are at
home on Sunday and attend ser­vices
there will be allowed to sub­mit
a certificate showing that they
attended, according to Warren
Darty, YMCA member.
The YWCA sponsors every year
a similar go-to-church contest for
sororities. However, they have
made no announcement as yet as
to their plans for this year.
Last year Beta Kappa won the
competition for fraternities with
a score of 100 per cent.
All to Gain Practical
Teaching Experience
Three weeks of actual experi­ence
in the type of jobs which
they hope to get upon graduation
in May will be obtained by 52 Au­burn
seniors in vocational agri­culture
who begin their apprentice
teaching assignments Monday in
26 Alabama high schools.
With two seniors assigned to
each of the schools, they will take
over the teaching of vocational
agriculture to all-day students un­der
supervision of the teacher in
charge. In addition the seniors
will advise with students on their
supervised agricultural projects
at home where they are apply­ing
instruction gained at school.
A third phase of their experience
will be gained through instruc­tion
to adult farmers who attend
evening school classes conducted
by vocational teachers. The ap­prentice
teachers will also serve
as temporary advisers to local F-FA
clubs.
Following is the list of 52 sen­iors
and schools where they will
do their apprentice teaching, ac­cording
to S. L. Chesnutt, profess­or
of agricultural education.

Two Former Auburn
Students Leaving
Randolph Field
Two former Auburn men who
have been stationed at Randolph
Field as flying cadets are sched­uled
to be transferred to the ad­vanced
flying school at Kelly
Field for a final three months
training before receiving their
wings and being commissioned
second lieutenants in the Air
Corps Reserve according to a re­cent
bulletin released by the Unit­ed
States Army.
The Cadets are Hoyt A. Jolly,
Jr., of Auburn and Ingram C.
Connor, Jr., of Columbia, Tenn.
Jolly is a Sigma Nu and received
his B.S. Degree in 1937, and Con­nor,
a Phi Delta Theta, attended
Auburn for two years, though he
did not graduate.
Jolly received his preliminary
training at the school operated in
Tuscaloosa in connection with the
University of Alabama. He is the
son of Mrs. Rena Jolly, the offi­cial
hostess at the Student Center.
Twenty Scholarships
Offered by Harvard
Graduate School
Twenty national scholarships,
with maximum awards of $1,000
each, are offered this year by the
Harvard Graduate School of Busi­ness
Administration.
In an announcement last week,
the Harvard Business School said,
"Applicants will be judged on
basis of their college record, char­acter,
and business experience, if
any."
Recommendations from profess­ors
are required, and all appli­cants
will be interviewed by a rep­resentative
of the school. The a-mount
of each scholarship will be
adjusted to the applicant's indi­vidual
financial need on basis of
information they and their fami­ly
supply.
Successful applicants for these
scholarships who secure satisfac­tory
averages during the first
year will be assured sufficient fi­nancial
assistance to complete the
two years on the MBA degree.
Unsuccessful applicants will be
considered for other types of
scholarships and aid available at
Harvard.
Application forms may be se­cured
from the Committee on
Scholarship; Harvard University
Graduate School of Business Ad­ministration;
Morgan Hall, Sol­diers
Field; Boston, Mass.
All applications must be made
not later than April 1.

ORANGES ARE
FAVORITES OVER
BLUES TOMORROW
A squad of time-tested veterans
clad in orange shirts and a squad
of untried gridders clad in blue
shirts will line up on the Auburn
Stadium field at 2:30 tomorrow
afternoon for the Alumni Day
grid battle, with the Oranges a
heavy favorite to win.
One of the features of the
mighty Orange group was the ace
backfield of Lloyd Cheatham at
quarter, Carl Happer and Dick Mc-
Gowen at half, and Rufus Deal
at full. But a jinx has shot that
mighty backfield to bits, for the
speedy Happer was sent to the
College Infirmary yesterday with
a case of measles, and the sensa­tional
"Ripping Rufus" is in Mont­gomery
recovering from an ap­pendectomy
administered last Fri­day.
The grapevine from the gym­nasium
has it that Coach Jack
Meagher will shift '38 letterman
Ross Dean from the Blue squad
to the Orange squad to give the
Oranges a complete veteran squad
to start against the Blues.
Shifty little Bud Wendling is
available to start in the right half­back
spot vacated by Happer.
Considering a l l , tomorrow's
game will be a group of veterans
against a group of yannigans. In
spite of the promise that several
of the yannigans have shown in
freshman games and in spring
training, the Oranges still look
much stronger..
George Mattison presiding. Dr. L.
N. Duncan, Coach Jack Meagher,
Alumni Secretary Porter Grant,
and dozens of other college and
alumni luminaries will be present.
Tomorrow morning at 10:00 the
Auburn polo team will meet the
Atlanta Horse Guards on Bullard
Field in the first game of the
year for the Plainsmen.
The new buildings completed as
part of the Greater Auburn pro­gram
will be o p e n tomorrow
morning for inspection by alum­ni.
Feature of the "spring home­coming"
for Auburn's old grads
will be at 2:30 tomorrow after­noon
when the Oranges and the
Blues line up against each other
at the Auburn Stadium for a reg­ulation
football battle, closing
spring training for the gridiron
squad.
Students and faculty members
will be allowed to sit in the wood­en
stands at the stadium tomor­row
afternoon free of charge, but
tickets to the concrete section of
the stands will be 25 cents. Stu­dents
will be expected to present
activity books for admission.
Tomorrow night at 8:15 the
Aeolian Guild Singers of Georgia
State College for Women will be
presented in concert at Langdon
Hall. Admission is free.
Arrangements have been made
to care for any alumni who wish
to stay over Saturday night at
Graves Center cottages.
C. G. Bramlette
Chosen for Phi Psi
In Tuesday's story on the se­lection
of new men for Phi Psi,
honorary textile fraternity, the
name of Bryan Bramlette was in­correctly
given as one of the new
members. The man actually se­lected
was C. G. Bramlette, the
name of Bryan Bramlette being
given to the Plainsman by mis­take.
C. G. Bramlette is a sophomore
in textile engineering from Roa­noke.

A Change In Letter Policy
UNTIL now the Plainsman has
always followed the policy of
printing letters anonymously on
request, so long as the writer's
name was signed as evidence of
good faith. However, it has be­come
more and more evident that
a few people have been using the
screen of anonymity to air views
and charges that are sometime
purely prejudicial and often flatly
wrong.
Since the Plainsman is the stu­dents'
newspaper, we are convinc­ed
that every student has the in­herent
right to express his opinion
in it. But an honest statement of
opinion, acknowledged by the au­thor
is one thing, a destructive, in­jurious,
even false criticism, as­serted
from the dark, is something
else.
Therefore, following this issue,
all letters of a critical nature that
are printed will be published over
the author's name. Non-critical let­ters
will still be published anony­mously,
as usual, so long as the
author signs his name.
An Outdoor
Swimming Pool
THE idea of an outdoor swimming
pool for Auburn has brought on
heated discussion during the past
few days, ever since it was first
advanced by students. There are a
wealth of arguments on the ad­vantage
side. The nearest swim­ming
offerings are a small pool in
Opelika and Chewacla Park lake,
which is recurrently too muddy for
enjoyment, and six miles is too far
for most of us to travel for a swim.
The small pool in Alumni Gym
is almost too small for use by the
swimming team, and spectator
space is practically non-existant.
A large outdoor pool would make
it possible for the team to cater
to crowds and charge a small ad­mission
to non-students and possi­bly
bring more visiting teams here.
The 3,500 or more students here
in the spring and autumn when it's
warm enough to swim outdoors,
and the 1,500 enrolled in the sum­mer
should be insurance enough
for the financial success of a pool,
whether it be built by the college
or by some individual.
The Better Season
IN the springtime no season seems
more lovely, although everyone
knows that when the autumn
woods begin to be extravagant
with their colors we will forget
spring and, as somebody has writ­ten,
see the beauty of death. Now
it is spring, and we are all running
true to custom. Was there ever
anything more satisfying than this
rebirth of life?
The winter wind was with us
for so long, and spring was so far
behind, that we are more than
usually appreciative of the season.
We have watched the budding and
blooming of the f orsythia about the
campus with excitement, and now
they are at their height. Wherever
you go, you will rarely see any­thing
comparable to the golden
bank hidden between the gymnas­ium
and the L Building.
The cloud of romantic kiss-me-at-
the-gate from which Ramsay
Hall rises is as fragrant as a.
sachet. Ramsay's back terrace
boasts an unusually fine array of
kiss-me-at-the-gate, and it should
be duly appreciated. Behind Sam-ford
Hall you will find a pink
magnolia which, although Tues­day's
rain storm almost shatter­ed
it, is something worth going
to see.
Of course these shrubs are but
precursors of the maturity of
spring, but their conspicuous suc­cess
over the hard winter forecasts
an increasingly fine spring and
summer.
For the benefit of those who
have eyes and see not, we again di­rect
attention to the natural beau­ties
of the season. Look while you
may upon these early flowers, and
anticipate with us the pageant
which will be crowned with dog­wood
and laurel. R. S.
It Takes All Kinds
THE college man, who bears the
dubious honor of being the
world's most prolific critic, fre­quently
vents his wrath on the fact
that his college is not turning out
precisely the type of graduate he
thinks it should produce. The in­struction
is too tough, or it isn't
tough enough; there's too much
technical and not enough cultural,
or there's too much useless cultural
bosh; and on and on it goes.
Actually the college critic fails
to see that every graduate is of a
different type, each getting from
college something different.
In some men higher education
breeds a zest for learning, the in­tellectual
hunger of the scholar. In
others college means gathering di­verse
knowledge and filing it in
mental pigeonholes for future use.
And for a few the four years is
a training in leadership and per­sonality
development. Probably the
great majority of us collect a touch
of each, and of all the other effects,
too, that a college breeds.
There are a few, and surpris­ingly
few, to whom college means
nothing, but the blame is more fre­quently
their's than the institu­tion's.
The scholar, the pigeonholer, the
leader, each interpret the purpose
of a university in the light of what
he is himself, forgetting that to
others it is something entirely dif­ferent.
And in the end all succumb
to that human failing of criticiz­ing
when the cut of the pajttern
isn't what each of us thinks it
should be. Possibly an objective
viewpoint would be the most val­uable
attribute that college could
possibly create in all of us.
Alumni Hall For
The Co-ops
AUBURN'S ever-growing aggre­gation
of co-op students is
awaiting with interest the decision
of the college on the proposal of
Alumni Hall's being turned into
a dormitory for co-op students
alone and being used by them all
year round.
Co-ops are handicapped in that
their schedules differ from those
of the ordinary students, and their
heavy scholastic loads prevent
them from participating in as
much of college life as they'd like.
As a group they compensate for
what they miss by sticking to­gether
and seeking interests of
their own.
Since, by the system under
which they attend school, they are
forced to miss activities which
they'd like to have a part in, they
deserve every consideration in
helping them to find substitutes
among themselves- —Living to­gether
as a group in Alumni Hall
would be the answer to giving
them something more out of college
than what they are getting now.

Letters to the Editor
A Protest Against The
Dean's List
The Editor,
The Auburn Plainsman,
Auburn, Ala.
Dear John:
We have a few things to say about
the Dean's List that we wanted so long.
The only one that we know anything
about is the one for the Engineering
Department, so that will be the one
herein discussed.
According to the latest reports there
are 716 students enrolled in engineering.
The Dean's List is made up of only 16,
HONOR STUDENTS. We wonder if
any one thinks a list of this length is
long enough for a group of 716 stu­dents.
Of these honor students, few of them
have an average above the low nineties.
We of course wonder why these men
are on the List while engineering stu­dents
with 93 and 95 averages are kept
off. This was done to keep men off who
made high averages while only taking
about 16 hours. The averages were
weighted against the hours the man was
taking.
This might sound good at first till we
stop to consider that the senior that is
up in his electives and other work will
not be loading down his senior year with
useless work. We penalize him for being
up in his work while we honor the stu­dent
who is behind and has to take a
heavy load his senior year.
Many of the boys on the list realize
that they do not deserve the honor. The
boys earning the good grades and not
finding their name among the picked
few feel as do most of the students that
the system is very unfair.
We might ask why Henry Maulshagen
isn't on the List. It is true that he is
working on his second degree, but it is
still only his fourth year in school. If
a man with the highest average in the
school, 98.03, and taking 27 hours, can't
make the Dean's List, we say let's tear
it up and go back to the old system.
Who thought up this idea anyway?
Sincerely,
An Engineering Senior.
With the Co-OpS—By A. Fred Henning
Section A Come* Back
Back to school for another quarter
come the co-ops of Section A. The va­cation
is over, fellows, and now it's
time to go to work. Put away those
pliers, wrenches, and hammers and those
thoughts of the girl you left near the
job. She'll be true to you 'cause she
said she would, didn't she? Anyway,
just consider the next three months a
training period for the "vacation" you'll
be going on next June!
* « *
Section B's Accomplishments
Congratulations are now in order to
Section B which has just completed an­other
record-making quarter here on
the campus. Several times already these
fellows have proven their worth. Dur­ing
the last three months they mapped
out and accomplished a list of under­takings
worthy of the efforts of any
scholastic group. It is to them that goes
the honor of having designed the keys
and stationery of the Mitec Engineers.
Their's also is the credit for having
fostered the book-exchange plan for the
co-operative group. The new technical
report cover is another of their accom­plishments.
Certainly not to be forgot­ten
is the recent tapping of six of their
outstanding scholars by the Briaerean
Society of the Georgia School of Tech­nology.
What we want to know is —
can you top that, Section A? There's
a goal to shoot at so go to it and see
what you can do!
* * *
Scholastic
Since registration last week co-ops in
all classes have been covering no small
bit of scholastic ground. The freshmen
are scratching their heads over those
famous 101 themes. The sophomores,
likewise, are corrugating their brows
over those physics problems, and the
pre-juniors are burning the midnight
petroleum in an attempt to get the up­per
hand on applied mechanics.

During the past quarter several pros­pective
speakers for the Mitec meet­ings
of the current quarter were con­tacted.
Speech topics were discussed
with these men and tentative dates for
the speeches were made. Each of these
speakers will be representative of some
particular field of engineering. The
first of this group of guest speakers has
consented to pay us a visit in the near
future.
Fifty American Colleges Raising
Funds to Aid European Students
Fifty colleges in wide sections of the
country have undertaken drives for re­lief
funds and scholarships for European
students who are victims of the war and
of persecution because of race, politics,
or religion.
The fund, known as the European
Student Service Fund, is sponsored
jointly by the National Intercollegiate
Christian Council and International Stu­dent
Service.
In the first week of the drive the stu­dents
of Smith College raised $4,100, of
which $3,000 is being cabled to the Ge­neva
office immediately. At Yale a goal
of $5,000 has been set. Initial amounts
from other colleges are beginning to
reach the New York office.
In an appeal to American students
the ESSF points out in its press re­lease:
"The black-out of education pre­sents
a clear-cut challenge to the entire
world. This war involves so many deep-lying
conflicts that the world can ill
spare the present student generation as
still another sacrifice. They must be
saved for the reconstruction which is to
follow. In this sense, as students, we
hold the key to the future. By demon­strating
our solidarity with them in their
time of need we are helping to keep
alive not only human beings but also the
hope for a better world."
Funds will be distributed to refugees
from Czechoslovakia, Austria, and Po­land.
Assistance will also be provided

WITH all of the dust being stirred up
advocating an outdoor swimming pool
for Auburn, it seems that someone would
have thought of the
very evident solution.
There can be no deny-iny
of the fact that
Auburn needs a pool
badly, and that an
outdoor pool would be
a welcome addition
to Auburn's recrea­tional
facilities. Why
not look around for a
way of obtaining the
pool?
" The solution is sim­ple.
The football stadium will serve no
great purpose in the summer, so why
not utilize the natural bowl? A little
construction work would close in the
ends, and a day or two of Auburn rain
would fill it to the brim. When fall
comes, the temporary fills at the ends
could be removed, and we would have
our stadium again.

Movie and Radio Guide tells an inter­esting
story showing that rivalry be­tween
orchestra leaders isn't as bitter
as it is thought to be.
Recently, while his band was showing
at New York's Paramount, Glenn Miller
became ill and was taken to a hospital.
T. Dorsey, Dick Stabile, Charlie Bar-net,
and Gene Krupa alternated in
fronting the band for him. Krupa stop­ped
the show with his skin-thumping on
"In the Mood."
From the same magazine comes our
favorite name for a column on wax
production. Their record review is en­titled

WITH spring
the present
accompanying
rapidly approaching and
World War waiting for
favorable weather, the
chances of Europe's
war developing into a
blood bath become
greater and greater.
Along with increased
activity on the war­ring
fronts there will
also be a greater dan­ger
that the United
States might become
involved in the war
in some manner. Just
— exactly what would
be the status of our
civilian life if we were to join the con­flict?
Already on the files of the War De­partment
is an order waiting for the
eventuality of the United States' en­trance
into war, any war. This bill,
when placed in the hands of Congress
and passed, would make our nation ex­ist
under a virtual dictatorship for the
duration of the war. To make matters
worse it would be practically a neces­sity
for the passage of the bill. Nearly
every principle of freedom that we now
deem precious would be sacrificed to the
government; every order would be
under the thumb of one man, the presi­dent.
The above description might sound
fantastic; however, the complete plans
are drawn up and the facts are as
stated, so we can draw our own con­clusions.
But a still more important con­sideration
should be taken in mind, and
for our factual basis we can go back
to the history following the World War.
After existing under a closely controlled
form of government for a period of time
during which the government would
dictate to industry, agriculture, and all
other phases of our economy, we would
have to face a transition that would be
crisis for democracy in the United
States.
After every war there comes about
a complete political and economic ad-for
some 400 Spanish students in France.
Distribution in Europe will be adminis­tered
by International Student Service
and the World Student Christian Fed­eration
working in cooperation with the
Red Cross, the Friends Service Commit­tee
and relief agencies of the League of
Nations.
justment in the belligerent nations,
world-wide in its scope. Nations that are
weakened internally, thereby being on
an unsound economic and political basis,
must of necessity have a steadying hand
somewhere to nurse them back to
their past standings. Think back to the
early twenties, to the rise of Fascism
and the full bloom of Communism . . .
these doctrines of government take hold
on nations weakened by the throes of
war or economically crippled.
After the present war the world-wide
readjustment will likely bring about one
of the worst depressions in history. Pic­ture
the United States faced with such
problems that require immediate action
. . . democracy requires time and
thought to go its course and find solu­tions.
This would be almost impossible
. . . such conditions will require control
on a national basis and immediate ac­tion
. . . there is but one answer and
that leans heavily toward some degree
of fascism, at least until readjustment
is over.
If we have been struggling with a
controlled form of government during
the war, then we will Have to depend
on more control after the war, and our
chances of ever returning to democracy
as we have it today become much slim­mer.
All this is not meant to even imply
that doom is approaching, or that we
are facing destruction, it is merely a
discussion of some things that might
happen under given situations . . . and
consideration of such possibilities should
be of prime importance to us all.
Final Exams Abolished
At Alma College In
Novel Experiment
ELIMINATION of final examinations
at Alma College as an experiment
for the next two semesters has been
announced by Prof. Roy Hamilton, sec­retary
of the faculty.
In explaining this inovation, Prof.
Hamilton said that the change was be­ing
made with a view to stimulating
students to keep up on their daily work.
Primary reason for the elimination
of final semester examinations is the
practice of a great many students to
neglect their work during the semester,
and then stay up late during the last
few weeks in an effort to cram for the
tests. This system Prof. Hamilton scor­ed
as being injurious both to the stu­dents'
health and to the educational in­terest
of any college.
Under this new system of classroom
examinations based on daily work, all
students will be graded three times a
semester, as has been the custom for
freshmen.

WORDS ON MUSIC
By JIMMY GILBERT
You Artie Shaw fans, lend an
ear! Your hero is coming back
with a new 31-piece band that
promises to be a sensation. To
quote the NBC Daily News —
"Shaw hopes to reconcile a swing
band playing as such, augmented
by legitimate instruments, playing
legitimately." This all means that
Artie wants a real grown-up band
of musicians, playing good swirg.
He will make his appearance soon
on Victor records. Listen for
them.
Local notes: Aeolean Guild
Singers coming up Saturday night.
They're fine. The Auburn Plains­men's
four saxmen are plenty
smooth on "You're A Lucky Guy."
"Tux Junction" is still applauded
at dances. New song coming up
on the campus is "Angel".
Radio bugs, here are a few
suggestions. On the opera front,
the Radio City Opera Company is
opening the spring season with a
series of operas, presented in
streamlined, one-hour dress. This
Sunday it's "Rigoletto", starring
Jan Peerce, Robert Weede, Rose-marie
Brancato, and Edwina Eus-tis.
Time—1 p.m. Place — your
NBC station.
Then, if your date is on the
sentimental side, find a radio a-bout
10:30 Sunday night for the
music of Francis Craig and his
orchestra. (WSM, Nashville). In­cidentally,
he's the son-in-law of
the local Lambda Chi's house
mother. She's proud of him too.
Harry James plays half-hour
programs on Tuesday and Friday
of next week, NBC at 11. "It
Happened In Hollywood" every af­ternoon
at 4:30 on CBS is good
for variety.
This week's waxworks offer
Eddie Duchin in two pairs of of­ferings
that merit some attention.
The first is a novelty, "I Should'*
Stood In Bed", with the reverse
side reading "Wind At My Win-dow."
You've heard them both
and know they are good, as is the
other pair, "Careleaa", and "In an
Old Dutch Garden." All are well
known songs, given the distinc­tive
touch of Duchin.
Other offerings. Irene Daye,
with Gene Krupa's Kats, sings
"After All," and "Vagabond
Dreamt". (Columbia) Any Kind
of a date will go for these. Woody
Herman—Decca— "The Rhumba
Jumps", and "Peace Brothers" —
fair. Sweet-swinging Sammy Kaye
makes dreamy music with "When
You Wish Upon a Star", and
"Turn On The Old Music Box."
(Victor) Varsity's George Olson
grinds out two novelties — "She
Broke His Heart Of Oak", plus
"Woodpecker". Good for a laugh.
For the Rogers and Hart music­al
comedy fans, here's a bit of
news. Columbia is presenting an
album of records from the hits of
these two prolific writers. The
songs are taken from such hits
as "The Boys From Syracuse",
"The Girl Friend," "Babes In
Arms", and many others. They're
all 10-inch records, and are espec­ially
recommended.
Did'ja know: G. Miller, Dorsey
of the sax, and Gene Krupa were
once members of the pre-depress-ion
Red Nichol's "Five Pennies",
which is in the process of rebirth,
not with the original men, how­ever.
Hint: Good job for the local
dance band boys to work up is
"Rose Of The Rio Grande". Any­one
who has heard it will agree.

Poloists Meet Ohio
State Next Week
Games to be Tuesday and Wednesday
Afternoons at 3:30; Billiard Field
Ohio State's polo four will invade the Plains Tuesday
and Wednesday afternoons next week for games with Au­burn's
virtually untried horsemen. Both games will be at
3:30 on Bullard Field.
Against the Buckeyes Capt. L. E. Jacoby will start a
team composed of four seniors, Elmer Almquist at 1, Clyde
Brown at 2, Bob Armstrong at 3, and Roger Hamel at 4.
Fred Schell, senior and a veteran, is on the sick list, ac­cording
to Capt. Jacoby, and
probably will not be able to play.
The Staters will put on the field
Roof at 1, Capt. Kennedy at 2,
Lofthe at 3, and Conner at 4, all
of whom played against Auburn
last year except Lofthe.
Capt. Kennedy, who is playing
his third and last year of varsity
polo, is an ace mallet-swinger and
will give the Auburn boys a full
afternoon. Roof and Conner were
lettermen last year, but neither
was on the number one team,
and Lofthe is a newcomer to the
varsity.
In two games played on Bullard
Field last spring, the Plainsmen,
undefeated for the entire season,
swamped the Buckeyes 6-2 and
14-2. However, Capt. Jacoby said
yesterday that the Ohio State
team would be better than last
year's, while his team would not
be up to the par set by Auburn's
1939 champions.
The Ohio State team will arrive
in Auburn sometime Sunday night.
On April 25 and 27 the Plains­men
will play a return engage­ment
with the Buckeyes on Ohio

Sigma Nu Wins Place
In Basketball Finals
Pike's, Sigma Chi's Play Tonight
For Other Leg in Final Bracket
By virtue of a 19-15 win over the Pi K A's Wednesday
night the Sigma Nu's won one of the two places in the
final bracket of the interfraternity basketball tournament.
However, the loss did not cost the Pikes their chances
at the cup, for the tournament is of the double elimination
type, and they have lost only the one game. So tonight at
8:30 they will tip off against the Sigma Chi's to determine
which will have the leg of the final bracket opposite the
Sigma Nu's. The Sigma Chi's, who
dropped their only loss to the
Pike's in the first game of the
semi-finals, will, because of that
loss, be the underdogs tonight.
The Sigma Chi's won the right to
face the Pike's for a place in the
final leg by downing the SPE's
Wednesday night by 38-27.
The game between Sigma Nu
and the winner of the Pi K A-Sigma
Chi game has been set for
tomorrow night.
Since the Sigma Nu's are un­defeated,
a win for them tomor­row
night will clinch the cup for
them, no matter which team they
face, for both have been beaten
once. However, a victory for the
Snakes' opponents will mean that
another game will have to be play­ed
to settle the double elimina­tion,
this one probably taking
place, if necessary, on Monday
night.

POLO TEAM BOOKS
ELEVEN GAMES,
MORE TENTATIVE
Eleven games are already sched­uled
and several more are pend­ing
for Auburn's polo team, the
only college polo squad in the
South. Topping the list are four
games with Ohio State, including
two in Auburn next week, and
four games with the crack Atlan­ta
Horse Guards.
This year's squad is replete with
senior talent, all virtually untried,
but there is very little reserve
strength.
A battle with the Atlanta Horse
Guards at 10 o'clock tomorrow
morning opens the season for the
Plainsmen.
The complete schedule is as
follows:
March 16 — Atlanta Horse
Guards at Auburn.
March 19 and 20—Ohio State
at Auburn.
March 24 — Thomasville Coun­try
Club at Thomasville, Ga.,
(pending.)
March 30 — Atlanta Horse
Guards at Auburn.
April 6—Atlanta Horse Guards
at Auburn.
April 25 and 27—Ohio State in
Columbus, Ohio.
May 4 and 5—Louisiana Na­tional
Guard, of New Orleans, at
Auburn.
May 11 or 12—Fort Benning
at Auburn.
Tracy, Lamarr
Showing At Tiger
Famous Actors Team
In Drama of a Doctor
America's Number One Glam­our
Girl and the king of the
screen's character stars are join­ed
romantically in "I Take This
Woman," dramatic romance of
New York with Spencer Tracy and
Hedy Lamarr, which will be shown
Sunday and Monday at the Tiger
Theatre.
Directed by W. S. Van Dyke II,
the play deals with a social but­terfly
who, after a wrecked ro­mance,
finds her real love and
happiness at the side of an earn­est
scientist working for the pub­lic
good in a tenement clinic. Ac­tion
ra nges from fashionable night
clubs and fashion salons to the
tenements. Dramatic highlights in­clude
an attempted suicide and
rescue, an encounter with a form­er
lover, and a powerful dramatic
sequence in which the woman
realizes she is about to ruin the
life of the man she really loves.
Verree Teasdale has the chief
comedy role and Kent Taylor
plays Tracy's rival in love. Other
players include Laraine Day, Mona
Barrie, Jack Carson, Paul Cav-anaugh,
Louise Calhern, Frances
Drake, Marjorie Main, George E.
Stone, Willie Best, Don Castle,
Dalies Frantz and Reed Hadley.
Elaborate settings include the
Zebra Club, its pillars formed by
huge carved zebras; an elaborate
fashion show with beautiful mod­els
in colorful new modes; pent­houses
and other typical bits of
New York. Miss Lamarr wears a
number of exotic gowns, and an
elaborate musical s c o r e con­tributes
glamour to the romantic
sequences.
