Twenty-seven on Tuesday's Ballot
Voters Must Present
Student Ticket Books
Polls Open in Student Center and Comer
Hall From 8 to 11; and From 12:30 to 5
Twenty-two freshmen and five seniors have qualified and
turned in petitions for the elections to be held next Tuesday
from 8 to 5. There will be two ballot boxes for the students.
The seniors will go to the same places but will vote in dif­ferent
boxes. Further instructions will be given them at
the polls.
Charles Flowers, Chairman of the Elections Committee,
said yesterday that the plans for the election had been com­pleted
and everything was ready
for Tuesday morning.
The polls will be open at 8
o'clock and will remain open un­til
11 o'clock when they will close
for drill and lunch. At 12:30 they
will re-open and will stay open
until 5 o'clock. Students must
bring their ticket books with
them in order to vote.
The ballot boxes will be located
close to the majority of the stu­dents
and within easy access of
them. One will be in the Student
Center and the other in the lobby
of Comer Hall.
Anyone found guilty of unfair
practices at the polls shall have
his voting privilege removed by
the Chairman of the Elections
Committee. After a Cabinet hear­ing
the offender, the offense, and
his fraternity affiliation will be
published in the official publica­tion
of the Alabama Polytechnic
Institute.
Also, any means of "campaign­ing
other than personal contact
with the voters shall render the
voters ineligible. No candidates
or any of his supporters may dis­tribute
free merchandise or ad­vertising
of any type or have
cards or circulars printed or cir­culated
in his behalf. The Elec­tions
Committee shall decide
cases in which any of above rules
are said to be violated.
The above rules were adopted
by the Executive Cabinet to pre­vent
unfair practices by those
students who were financially
able to spend more than some of
the other candidates.
Flowers said that a total of 22
freshmen had been qualified by
the Qualifications Board and the
same amount had turned in pe­titions
on time.
The following men are running
for President of the Freshman
class: Frank Hawthorne, Ed Jer-nigan,
Charles Prestly, Bubber
Tillery, and John Spencer. Only
one will be chosen.
For Representative to the Cabi­net:
Ed Cadenhead, Bob Garri­son,
Nail Nuckolls, Fred Sum­mers,
and Lamar Woodham. Only
one of these will be chosen for
this position.
For Vice - President: L u t h e r
Taylor, Earl Thome and Russell
Upshaw. The students should se­lect
only one of these.
For secretary of the Class, one
of which will be chosen: Harry
Dawson and Emily Gipson.
There are four members of the
class who are trying for the po­sition
of Treasurer: John Hall,
Jack Moore, Donnie Parker, and
Bill Rodgers.
For Historian there are three
candidates: Mary Jo Spradley,
Mary Wilson a n d Katherine
Wright.
Because a vice-president was
not elected at the' elections last
spring for the senior class, one
will be selected tomorrow. There
are five candidates for this post:
Lamar Blalock, Billy Gordy, Tom
Hughes, Tom Rowan, and Leon
Marr Sahag.
Approximately twov hundred
freshmen attended a political
rally and freshman class meeting
last night in Langdon Hall.
Twenty-one of the twenty-two
freshman candidates appeared
at the rally, and spoke to their
classmates in their behalf in
Tuesday's elections.

No Auditorium
In viewing the Alburn Master Plan one
feature is certain to catch the eye, the
prominent place given to the proposed
auditorium. This prominence is most cer­tainly
well placed; the only thing out of
key about the matter is that the audito­rium
is still only proposed.
The greatest physical need that Auburn
experiences at the present, as for years in
the past, is that of adequate auditorium
facilities. When any event is planned
that calls for use of an auditorium, there
are three sites possible On the Auburn
campus. These are using Langdon Hall,
well-steeped in history, but lacking in seats
and stage space; the Alumni Gymnasium,
minus permanent seats, stage, ease of ac­cess,
and adequate lighting; and Graves
Center, which also falls into class two
because of no permanent seats, the nui­sance
of peering around poles, and the lack
of the convenience of a sloping floor that
aids vision so much. These are the
auditorium facilities at Auburn, so it is
quite understandable that we say the next
addition to the Auburn campus should by
all rights be a new auditorium.
At the present time there is no way for
the student body of our school to assemble;
indeed there is no way for a meeting to
be held for all of any one class, unless it
does so out-doors. The excellence of our
concert programs is placed at a definite
minimum by the fact that we are unable
to provide first-class accommodations for
the audience or for the performer.
We need an auditorium badly, an au­ditorium
that is large enough and well
enough equipped to accomodate any size
crowd or any quality of performance. We
have such a building planned, it is there
in all its prominence on the Master Plan,
and we must make this plan become a re­ality.
It is to be hoped that the efforts of
those who are in charge of the carrying
out of the plan will all be bent to secur­ing
for Auburn the auditorium that she
needs so badly. J.S.
Whittle Elsewhere
For only a little more than one year
has the New Classroom Building been
open to students for classes. Upon the
opening of that building, an editorial was
printed in the Plainsman requesting stu­dents
to take pride in the building and re­frain
from whittling on the desks, writ­ing
on the wall, and causing other defac­ing
marks to appear throughout the build­ing.
That editorial, like many of the others
that are written in the Plainsman, seems
to have been written in vain, for already
pocketknives have gone to work on the
desks in several rooms of the building
and pencil marks have appeared as if by
magic on the walls as well as on the desks.
Nothing brings the reality of such de­struction
to the students as the period
of time when those students are forced
by the rules of the college to take their
mid-semester or final examinations. At
such a time a student will be writing the
answers to an examination, and in less
than a thousandth of a second, his pen or
pencil meets the vacancy of the desk's re­sistance
and his examination paper is torn
raggedly through the middle.
We realize that between many of the
hours the students have nothing to do so
they fill in that time by either whittling on
a desk or writing poetry, sometimes cute
but mostly simple, on the walls. The stu­dents
carry out such actions because they
have nothing more to do, but it is the wish
of every student, who takes an examina­tion
and every student who likes to look
at the four walls without seeing more
script, that such activities come to an end.
So we suggest that those students, who
must spend their spare times writing on
the walls and whittling on their desks for
lack of more creative work to do, bring a
bucket of water and a few rags to class
instead of an over supply of pencils and
a sword, dagger or graat pocket knife and
use that equipment in cleaning the writ­ing
that has been placed on the walls
since the founding of the Alabama Poly­technic
Institute. W.H.
CAMPUS CAMERA
Voters' Honesty
Next Tuesday the members of the class
of '45 will begin to pour to the polls at
the Student Center and Comer Hall. Those
students can carry out their voting in two
ways, either honestly or dishonestly.
In the years past such dishonest acts
have been featured as to vote for other
members of the voting class, voting more
than one time, staying around the polls
and directing certain of their friends in
the correct (but many times the incor­rect)
way of voting, politicking for the
candidates who are not allowed to ap­proach
the ballot boxes and there have
even been cases where the friends of can­didates,
who could not buy votes, have
purchased votes to aid in their line-up's
victory.
Such actions have always gone on to
a certain extent, not to any great degree,
but it is the wish of every Auburn student
that such practices become non-existent,
especially is the case if the student has
nothing to do with the election.
If the freshmen have candidates whom
they believe should lead them for a year as
officers of their class, they should believe
in them enough to let them win the elec­tion
by honest methods instead of acting
dishonestly in their behalf, whether the
candidate knows of the outside assistance
or not, so that they will be sure of their
candidates' success. W.H.
Pencil Sharpeners
What, with all of the Master Plans,
Freshman Greek plans, plans for new girl
dormitories, new auditoriums, new this
and that, we have unearthed another plan
which, in our opinion could be more eas­ily
realized, and that is a plan to supply
every room in the college with a pencil
sharpener. Sounds absurd, doesn't it?
We can imagine that this plan has been
overshadowed by the more important
plans, but what student hasn't cussed when
he breaks his pencil point during a test
and has to run several flights of stairs in
search of a pencil sharpener.
This little plan may not be any good
for improving the looks of Auburn, and
it certainly would not require a very
large "emergency appropriation" but it
would certainly help the grades and can
easily be financed.
We think it is a pretty good idea. M.K.
Military Appointments
Today the appointments of permanent
cadet officers for the ROTC Corps were
announced.
In past years these appointments have
been made at the first of school, but this
year Military officials decided to make
the appointments upon the merit of senior
cadets, after a trial period of a few weeks
of handling men on the drill field.
Today's appointments show, in the ma­jority
of cases, the wisdom of this plan.
The officers selected, are, we think, the
best possible for the good of the Corps.

Entering the office one night this week to write this column,
we found on our desk a letter, which was very reminiscent of a
series of such letters which appeared some years ago in the Plains­man,
and which appeared again some time later, if our memory
is correct. In checking through the Plainsman files of the past
two years, iwe were' unable- te -find 4n y v e s t i g e of such a series,
although there's a strong thought roaming around our head that
we've read such since we've been in school.
So we're laboring under the burden of recognizing the style, the
names, the everything, of having read the letters somewhere, even
of remembering the approximate title of the series, but having for­gotten
when they appeared, and who wrote them. They were call­ed,
we believe, "Pete's Epistles."
We liked it. We hope you do. Here it is.

In past years a goodly portion of campus talk has hinged
around the selection" of beauties for the Glomerata. Last year
ODK and the Glomerata combined sources and threw a Beauty
. Ball, at which time the young ladies from whom the beauties were
to be chosen, were paraded before the assembled crowd, and the
assembled crowd voted by secret ballot on the eight girls whom
they wanted to see in the beauty section of the yearbook.
This method of selection caused a hue and cry which hasn't
even yet died down on the campus. People, and t very rightly,
couldn't see the selection of beauties by paid voting. • And the
method was practically that of an auction. You coudn't vote for
the beauties unless you went to the Beauty Ball, and you could­n't
go to the Beauty Ball unless you paid a dollar to do so. So,
votes were simply sold for a dollar apiece. Which, as anyone
could see, was no way to pick beauties.
For example, although this didn't happen last year, it could
easily happen now. Each sorority had a certain number of its
girls in the lineup. Suppose one sorority had seventy members.
Suppose that sorority, very desirous of having its girls in the beau­ty
section, went to the dance en masse, and took with them one
date per member.
Now that's one hundred and forty people, each voting for a pre­arranged
selection of beauties. One hundred and forty paid voters
ea,ch voting the same way might very easily put that group of
girls into the beauty section, even if each and everyone were as
homely as sin itself.
This year the Beauty Ball will be held, but the beauties will be
selected from girls previously nominated by sororities and by the
staff of the Glomerata, by a committee of judges, members of the
student body and the faculty. The object of this committee will be to
pick the eight (or ten) most beautiful girls, regardless of their
sorority affiliation, their personality, or their popularity.
Which seems to us to insure a much better, much more accu­rate,
selection of Glomerata Beauties.

Editor's note: The opinions expressed
In this column are those of the writer

policies of this paper.
The U. S. Delivers The Goods?
One important question that
nobody seems to have thought
much about is that of what is
going on in the minds of Hitler
and/or his advisors at the pres­ent
time. German vessels have
made a series of unprovoked as­saults
on United States ships, un­provoked
only because we did not
shoot first, because in any war­fare
it is perfectly legal to at­tack
anybody guilty of aiding and
abetting the enemy.
Still, before these attacks on
our ships, the question must have
been carefully considered in the
best German military and nav­al
circles, the decision resting on
determining whether the damage
America can do in the war is
greater or less than the damage
that can be done by uninterrupt­ed
streams of supplies that must
otherwise proceed f r o m our
shores to England. Another
question would be whether or
not these supplies could be ef­fectively
interrupted anyhow.
Perhaps the enumeration of the
various points pro and con would
have helped Mr. Hitler.
Con-Sinking
1. It would bring the full force
of the American Navy against
our submarines.
2. The loss of American lives
will enrage the American people
to a high state of belligerency.
3. Latin America will go even
more solidly pro-ally.
4. There is a possibility of an
American Army in the field and
& subsequent increase in allied
morale.
5. American defense produc­tion
will be greatly stimulated.
6: We won't be able to stop
many of the shipments anyhow.
Without adequate reasons to
balance these, we would not
now be being invited to fight.
Here are a few.
Pro-Sinking
1. Germany is going to have to
fight the U. S. before the war
will be won.
2. Before the U. S. can effec­tively
enter the war, the Russian
campaign will be finished one
way or the other.
3. A U. S. engaged in the At­lantic
will encourage Japan to
'get to work in the Pacific.
4. American defense produc­tion
is hardly a drop in the bucket
in the allies' needs. If the Unit­ed
States starts shooting, they are'
going to get panicky over there,
and insist on keeping all sup­plies
at home until the American
armies are equipped. An Amer­ica
trying to arm itself will be
of as much use to Russia and
England as a football player try­ing
to get dressed on the field
during the game. Too, the dis­appointment
in the value of im­mediate
American aid will be a
staggering blow to Allied morale.
The ships required to send an
Army abroad would just about
finish the U. S. merchant ma­rine.
Add up .the last items on each
list, and you will see why Adolph
is not so very much afraid of us
right now. The deeper we get
into this war, the better he will
like it. He obviously cannot
stop American aid to England by
sinking it, but there are other
ways. If this country does not
watch its step it is going to be
mousetrapped as neatly and sure­ly
as ever was a Georgia guard in
the Auburn backfield.

Councii l to Discuss "Greeks"
Davis, Raport Will
Speak Monday Night
Fraternities to Hold Houseparties During
Homecoming Will Be Decided at Meeting
Main question for discussion at the regular meeting of the
Interfraternity Council Monday night will be the petition
for existence of Freshman Greeks, proposed interfraternity
freshman group.
The Freshman Greeks, as proposed by its supporters and
according to its constitution, is to be, if approved by the Coun­cil,
an organization composed of pledge presidents of all par­ticipating
fraternities, and one other freshman representative
from each fraternity.
/ • '
Purposes of the organization
would be to "gain and promote a
stronger fraternal feeling among
freshman fraternity men; to give
some constructive help to the
fraternities of API in general, and
give at least one project to this
institution yearly."
The Interfraternity Council will
vote on the question of allowing
the organization of Freshman
Greeks.
Community Chest
Dr. Charles S. Davis will talk
to the Council on the possibilities
of fraternities making contribu­tions
to the Community Chest
Drive of Auburn, to be held in
the near future.
Interfrat Football
Professor Raport will appear
before the Council Monday night
to discuss with the representa­tives
matters relating to inter­fraternity
football.
House Parties
The Council will decide at the
Monday night meeting which fra­ternities
will hold houseparties
during the Homecoming week­end,
at which time the second
major set of dances will be held.

without exception, have es­tablished
important places for
themselves on the screen. Miss
Turner is co-starring with Gable
for the first time.
Frank Morgan, for instance,
long has been one of Hollywood's
brightest light-comedy stars for
his work in "Paradise for Three,"
"The Great Ziegfeld," "Naughty
Marietta," and "The Wizard of
Oz." On the other hand he has
demonstrated his versatility in
serious roles like that of the pro­fessor
in "The Mortal Storm" or

AEA Six-Point Legislative
Plan Presented at Meet Here
Three Hundred
From District IV
Here on Tuesday
The six-point legislative pro­gram
of the Alabama Education
Association for the 1943 Legis­lature
was presented at the Dis­trict
IV A. E. A. meeting here
Tuesday afternoon by Dr. H. C.
Pannell, president of the A. E.

committee, is as follows:
1. Adequate support for the
elementary and secondary
ress who, as "Gold Dust" Nelson
in "Honky-Tonk," offers another
cool, sardonic characterization
such as she made popular in "Big
Town Girl," "Song and Dance
Man" and "Dead End." A grad­uate
of the American Academy
of Dramatic Arts, Miss Trevor is
as much at home on the stage as,
on the screen.
Adds Comedy
Marjorie Main, who takes the
part of an evangelist in this pic­ture,
is well known for her comic
portrayals which have won for
her the rare accolade of being re­ferred
to as a second Marie Dress­ier.
Her most recent performance
was in "Barnacle Bill," a co-starrer
with Wallace Beery. Chill
Wills abets Miss Main as Gable's
sidekick, "The Sniper." Wills is a
lanky Texan who has played in
everything from medicine shows
to night clubs.

2. A constitutional amendment
declaring education a primary
function of government.
3. The removal of the consti­tutional
tax limitations for edu­cation.
4. An amendment to the pres­ent
teacher retirement law and
revision of the' present tenure
law.
5. Qualifications of state, city

"Something New Every Day"
Survey Includes
Five Hundred
CAA Pilot Schools
By George Head
The main reason that students
taking their physical examina­tions
for applications for the Civ­ilian
Pilot Training Program fail
to pass it is because they try to
take too much while in school.
This is one explanation offered
by the Civil Aeronautics Admin­istration
of why over 12 percent
of the applicants for CAA pilot
training fail to pass the entrance
physical examination.
Mr. A. C. Haller, supervisor of
tfie Third District which includes
this school, has received infor­mation
concerning a survey
made by the CAA pilot training
officials which covers more than
500 colleges now taking part in
the program. Although this is
a relatively small amount, it
could -be still further reduced if
the students would realize that
this examination should be taken
in a rested condition.
Most of them come into the
doctor's office in a tired physical
condition and in the wrong state
of mind. They do not take the
right attitude about the examina­tion
or the doctor giving it. Su­pervisors
in the different schools
are taking a greater interest in
the students when they have a
short talk with the student before
he goes in to take the examina­tion.
According to Mr. Haller there
are three principal reasons why
the students fail to pass the phy­sical
examinations. The first rea­son
being the tendency of the'
boy applying for the training
when he already has too much
activity. The average student
cannot work his way through
school, take part in some major
athletics, belong and take trips
with the Glee Club, keep up his
required scholastic standard and
still hope to take the CAA pilot
training course with any high
type of success. While he does
deserve commendation and the
student who tries to do this much
is of a high caliber, he cannot do
it and- have his body stand up
under the strain. Nor will his
mind be able to function prop­erly
and think clearly while try­ing
to do so much.
Second reason for their fail­ures
is that many of the appli­cants
go to the medical examiner
with a psychological complex,
feeling that the doctor is there
to hinder them and not to help
them on their way. They try
to hurdle the examiner and in­stead
they should use him as a
stepping stone or starting block
for them to begin their new ven-

ture. This frame of mind com­bined
with the period of hard
study or of hard physical exer­tion,
may result in certain mani­festations
of physical deficiency.
It is known that many such con­ditions
are frequently transitory
but this cannot be absolutely de­termined
in a regular physical
examination.
The third of these reasons is
in reality a combination of many
variables which will prevent ac­ceptance.
For instance many of
the students are all right until
they go to take a blood test and
their blood pressure. Then they
immediately become excited and
nervous, consequently increasing
their blood count to above nor­mal
conditions or what it should
regularly be.
Mr. Haller stressed that all, or
most of these conditions in some
cases, could be avoided if the
students would only rest and re­lax
thoroughly before applying
for the physical examination.

Best Georgia Team in Eight Years To
Attempt to Break Tied Tiger Record
It's Auburn and Georgia mixed up in their 45th football
game in 50 years as the two teams take the field tomorrow
afternoon at 3 o'clock in Memorial Stadium, Columbus.
The count in this dog-eat-dog rivalry, the South's oldest,
now stands at 20 wins, 20 losses and five ties for each school,
and though the Bulldogs from Athens will roll into town as
overwhelming favorites to take their twenty-first an expected
crowd of close to 25,000 seems to think the whole thing ought
to be worth watching and has
been fast to appropriate every
available seat.
For Georgia it will be the best
football team in the past eight
years with the renowned Frankie
Sinkwich at the head of the pa­rade;
for Auburn it'll be an out­fit
under capable Lloyd Cheat­ham
still looking for a win over a
major opponent; for the fans it
can't miss as a bang-up show
from start to finish if every other
game in this series started back
in 1892 can be used as a gauge.
Harkins Definitely Out
Auburn, already shaded far be­low
the Dogs due to the marked
differences in '41 records, goes
into the game with an old handi­cap
still hanging around. It's old
man injury and he's holding
wheelhorse Clarence Harkins,
regular starting tailback, on the
sidelines for the third time since
the Auburn-Tulane debacle. It
was the 165-pound Harkins who
last year passed to set up one Au­burn
touchdown and raced 70
yards for the other in the Co­lumbus
classic to give the Plains­men
their points in the 14-13 win
by the Bulldogs.
Jim Samford, senior right end
who was injured in the SMU
game and saw only five minutes
of action against Tech in Atlanta,
has been watching most of the
rough work from the sidelines
this week and stands as a ques­tionable
starter. In case he's forc­ed
to miss this one it'll be Billy
Barton, a sophomore who's show­ed
improvement with every week,
taking his place opposite left
flanker Clarence Grimmett.
Absence of Harkins will call for
the backfield which has been seen

Ancient Auburn-Georgia Rivalry Reopens Tomorrow

The five junior linemen above have played a heavy part in Auburn's football warfare thus far in
the season and will be seen in the bulk of the front wall duties against Georgia tomorrow. All are
lettermen. Williams, Ardillo and Eddins will start against the Dogs.

able tackles available the switch­ing
about at this position has con­tinued
and should end with Joe
Eddins and Johnny Chalkley,
standouts against Tech, in start­ing
roles. Nick Ardillo will man
one guard post and Jack Ferrell
the other unless a late change
pushes Vic Costellos in in place
of Ferrell. Tex Williams, one of
the better centers in the South­eastern
Conference, again will be
at center.
Quite a few wild rumors have
leaked into Auburn thus far in
the 1941 football scene concerning
the potency of Coach Wally Butts'
Bulldog aggregation and there is
a sad note present in that most
of the reports are pretty defi­nitely
the McCoy. That's what
the Auburn 'scouts will tell you
about it and they've been riding
the rails for four weeks to find
out.
Georgia has played five games,
winning three, losing one and
tying one. The wins were over
Mercer, South Carolina and Co­lumbia,
the loss to Alabama's
powerful Crimson Tide, and the
tie with Mississippi, upset winner
over Tulane.
It seems that the Georgia
claims to national fame center
about the best Bulldog line of a
decade, a merciless running at­tack
built around All-American
Frank Sinkwich, a dangerous pass
attack built around All-American
Frank Sinkwich, a ground defense
which gives up every yard with a
curse, and a tough pass defense
to crack open, this being built
also around All-American Frank
Sinkwich.
The running of Sinkwich, La­mar
Davis, Dick McPhee and
Capt. Heyward Allen stacks up as
something which has been in the
spotlight for the past two years,
and this foursome has shown that
it can use other means to get
ahead with a pass attack you're
bound to see a lot of in view of
the Auburn weakness in aerial
defense as exhibited during the
previous weeks.
-Line stalwarts to date in the big
Bulldog front wall have been
tackle Tommy Green, ends Van
Davis and George Poschner, guard
Walter Ruark and sophomore cen­ters
Earhardt and Godwin who've
shown Athens the best center
play in several years. The Geor­gians
will be handicapped in the
absence of Poschner, out with a
broken arm suffered against Ala­bama
last week.
That's about the situation lined
up for tomorrow. Auburn's due
for a revival, but it will have to
come with no strings attached if
the Plainsmen are to come up
with one of the big upsets of the

To Do With The
Score Tomorrow
By JOHN PIERCE
So here comes Sinkwich.
He's flat-footed and he says
he'd rather dance than play foot­ball,
but you can bet your hat
that how he shows up tomorrow
in Memorial Stadium will have a
lot to do with just how the final
score in another Georgia-Auburn
game will stand.
Because Frankie Sinkwich, the
Youngstown, Ohio, Georgian has
lived up to each and every one
of the elaborate press reports
which last season established him
as the nation's most publicized
sophomore football player. De­spite
a broken jaw he's gone on
to show up as a backfield terror
in five games of this year; he's
hauled in praises that already
point to him as a leading All-
American candidate.
And he faces Auburn tomorrow.
Playing but a quarter against the
Plainsmen last season he" engi­neered
the Bulldogs to their first
touchdown with a job of ball
carrying that took the ball to the
goal line and a pass to Capt.
Jimmy Skipworth that took it
across. That was but one of the
performances which landed him
on the United Press All-South­eastern
Conference outfit and

similar honor rosters and gained
him a scrapbook of superlatives
by the leading sportswriters un­equalled
in Georgia annals.
A product of Youngstown,
Ohio, High School, the 180-pound
blonde avoided the Big Ten
clutches upon his graduation, end­ed
up at Georgia, and has been in
the headlines ever since. As a
freshman he was the spark to
the renowned point-a-minute
club which that year probably
commanded more attention than
the Georgia varsity. As a sopho­more
he was all they had called
him to be, showing sufficiently
well to make the honor teams de­spite
an injury which kept him
out of action during much of the
latter part of the season. Later in
the year he threw Athens and
most of the state of Georgia into
a general uproar when he walked
out on a spring practice session,
saying he'd rather live a normal
college boy's life than that of the
spotlighted ball player.
The draft didn't touch Frankie.
"Flat, feet," they said, so he
ambled back to the Georgia foot­ball
squad and it seems that he's
been there ever since and will,

STUDENT LEADERS
TO MEET TUESDAY
Presidents, Heads, and Leaders Of
Various Student Organizations Invited
Student leaders, heads of various campus organizations,
will meet as a group for the first time this year Tuesday
night in Duncan Hall Auditorium at 8 p. m.
Presidents and other leaders and heads of all student or­ganizations
on the campus are invited to attend the meeting,
according to an invitation issued by Dr. L. N. Duncan.
The program of the meeting will consist entirely of a
round-table discussion of student problems, and the students
themselves will carry on this dis­cussion.
Dr. Duncan urged that student
leaders who have problems they
would like to offer for discussion,
or who have questions concern­ing
anything about Auburn that
they would like to have answer­ed,
or anything they would like
to hear discussed, attend the
gathering.
The first student leader meet­ings
were held on the campus
last year, and an organization
called Associated Student Lead­ers
was instituted. This organi­zation
held meetings each month
of last year, at which the round-table
discussions were carried
on.
As a complete list of student
leaders has not yet been compil­ed,
invitations to the meeting will
not be mailed to all leaders, but
all are urged to attend.

TVA DIRECTOR TALKS
TO FACULTY FORUM
ON ISOLATION
James P. Pope, a director of
the Tennessee Valley Authority
and former U. S. Senator from
Idaho, expressed the hope before
members of the Auburn faculty
here Monday evening that a
practical method of dealing with
outlaw nations may be develop­ed
after the present war in ord­er
that future progress may be
preserved.
"We cannot isolate ourselves,"
said the speaker, who added that
our tendency in the past has been
to remain aloof during peace
time and to get into foreign con­flicts
in time of war.
The speaker declared that the
"Present situation is the most
critical in our*.history," and that
a totalitarian system and a de­mocracy
cannot exist in the same
world.
From personal observations
made within the past few weeks
in South America, Mr. Pope said
that there is no doubt but that
Hitler has designs upon that area.
Fagan Canzoneri is a sopho­more
from Bessemer, who has
what it takes to become a good
athlete—intestinal fortitude.

Tiger-Bulldog Clash is 45th
Petrie Coached First
Team Against Georgia
Tigers Lead in Scoring in Fifty
Years Over Georgia by 411 to 399
When Auburn meets Georgia tomorrow afternoon the
Plainsmen will be celebrating the high point of their fiftieth
year of football and against their first_football opponent al­though
the Dog-Tiger rivalry still lacks five years of filling
a half century.
'Twas on February 22, 1892 at old Piedmont Park in Atlan­ta
when the first Auburn football team, under a young Mr.
George Petrie took the field for the first time to face an outfit
from Athens also opening a col­orful
football book.
The Tigers won than one, 10-0,
and the Bulldogs took the next
one in 1894 and it looks now as
though the affair has been run­ning
along those lines all along.
Both teams have taken 20 games
and five have been scoreless
ties. Auburn leads in scoring by
a scant margin of 411 to 399.

SINKWICH
(Continued from Page 4)
unfortunately, be there tomorrow,
broken jaw and all.
You'll ask just how much of the
Sinkwich publicity is ballyhoo,
just how much of a football
player is this guy when the deb­ris
of press clippings and con­fetti
is cleared away, so we'll re­fer
you to the opinions of some of
the boys who ought to know,
formulated after he had rounded
out his amazing sophomore year
with a ball carrying average of
5.2 yards per try.
Ed Danforth, Sports Editor, At­lanta
Journal—"Sinkwich is the
best sophomore back I have ever
ever seen."
Jack Troy, Sports Editor. At­lanta
Constitution — "I've never
seen his superior at running with
the ball."
Zipp Newman. Sports Editor.
Birmingham News — "He's the
best sophomore back I've seen
this year."
A t ' t h e close of the '40 season
Frank Sinkwich turned in .prob­ably
his greatest performance as
he led the Bulldogs to a 21-19 win
over Georgia Tech. In that game
he completed 10 of 12 passes, ran
128 yards with the ball for a
greater total than that of the
Georgia Tech team. After the
game George Webb of Tech made
his way to the Georgia dressing
room, shook his hand and said,
"You are the best football player
I have ever seen."
And Frankie's up against Au­burn
tomorrow afternoon.

By JOHN PIERCE
One focal point for the eyes of the inquisitive tomorrow after­noon
will be a Mr. Leo "One Play" Costa. It seems that One Play
has gone down in the Georgia record books as a curio who has gotten
into every game of this season but still hasn't recorded a second's
playing time.
He is the lug you've been hearing about who does nothing but
kick points after touchdowns, spending the intervening time as a
sideline spectator. And since time is called out during the' con­versions
Leo is just a guy who is on the field and still ain't. Which,
you'll have to admit, is confusing until you hear the rest of the
dope on Mr. One Play.
It seems that he has been successful on an unbelievably large
number of his conversion attempts during the past three seasons,
but has never seen one of his kicks go over the crossbars. His reper­toire
consists of swinging his foot, keeping his eyes on the ground
all the while, then leaning over to pluck a blade of grass, and find­ing
out from the man holding the ball just how the attempt went'.
That done, he's off to the sidelines to wait for another Bulldog touch­down.
They say that once over at a practice session in Athens Leo
looked up to watch 'after he had laid his foot against one and
consequently obeyed coaching instructions which had him taking
laps around the track for the following three hours.
* * * * *
Atlanta stresses the fact that Auburn scored its touchdowns last
week against fourth and fifth string Tech players, which comes to us
as a complete surprise. From every inference of the past few years
we had every reason to believe that Georgia Tech had little more
than a bare first string and seven or eight cripples available to send
upon the football field.
The Football News comes out with one of Frank Leahy's big
laughs of the '40 season and we appropriate said big laugh and quote
the former B.C. coach who now plays his tricks at Notre Dame.
"In the Boston College-Tennessee game in the Sugar Bowl last
January 1, one of our boys tackled a Tennessee boy pretty hard
and drove him out of bounds. The Tennessee boy grinned and said,
'You all certainly cracked me hard that time!'
"To which the B.C. player replied, 'What do you mean YOU
ALL? There's only one of me'!"
Look for another colorful punting duel when Cliff Kimsey and
Monk Gafford start matching kicks. Cliff ranks at the top of the
national heap "in this field and Monk's average would still be around
45 yards had it not been for those blocked by Southern Methodist.
. . . Illinois will field a 300 piece band at the half of tomorrow's
homecoming game against Michigan. . . . Paul Platzman, Technique
Sports Editor who last week had an article on the pages of the
Plainsman, was ousted from the staff soon later for sounding off
against Governor Talmadge. . . . Auburn got its name of "Tigers"
way back when, because somebody picked up the idea after seeing
the stripes on the uniform jerseys worn at the time. . . . Baylor's
mascot, a Bear, is named Joe College. . . . Maybe it's building up to
something terrific, but Texas has the greatest offensive record in the
nation while arch-rivals Texas Aggies boast the top defensive
records, and the two meet come Thanksgiving. . . . Newest twist in
football offensive is the "Y" being used with unexpectedly success­ful
results by Syracuse. In this one the center faces the backfield
as he passes the ball back. The guards come across to cover his
exposed posterior, allowing him to throw to either flank and move
out to lead interference wherever he's needed. Picture the ball being
snapped out 10 or 15 yards to either side and you can see where
the surprise elements comes in.
