BRING TICKET BOOKS TO ELECTIONS Th& Pldindmath BRING. TICKET BOOKS TO ELECTIONS TO FOSTER THE AUBURN SPIRIT' VOLUME LXV "ALABAMA POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE, AUBURN, ALABAMA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1941 NUMBER 14 CADET CORPS APPOINTMENTS RELEASED Brigade Colonel To Be Appointed Later 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.

(Continued on Page 6) Page Two THE PLAINSMAN October 31, 1941 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.

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.

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 and are not to be construed as the editorial 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. October 31, 1941 THE P L A I N S M AN —— Page Three 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. "Honky-Tonk" Cast Full of Established Screen Actors In "Honky-Tonk," starring Clark Gable and Lana Turner, opening- at the Tiger Theater on Sunday, the principals will be supported by a cast whose players, 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 the shopkeeper in "The Shop Around the Corner." In "Honky- Tonk" he takes the part of Judge Cotton, a shady character in a Western frontier town. Claire Trevor is a young act- CO-EDS!

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. schools and for higher education. 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 and county superintendents of education. 6. Free textbooks for the first six grades of the public schools.

I OUR SELECTION IS NOW COMPLETE B U R T O N 'S "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- CALL BOB'S TAXI 911 PHo°R NE 9111 Operated entirely by Students New Cars Quick Service Opelika Coca-Cola Bottling Co.

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.

Phone 562 Page Four THE P L A I N S M AN October 31, 1941 Sports Th& Plairidmarh p age 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 handling the ball carrying duties for the past three weeks. Monk Gafford, with a brilliant tailback-ing record already behind him, will start at left half, speedster Charley Finney will show at right half, Capt. Lloyd Cheatham will be the quarterback and Jim Reynolds the fullback. Return of substitute Jim Barganier from the sick list will strengthen the back-field considerably, giving Coach Meagher a second quartet composed of Buck Jenkins, Barganier, Aubrey Clayton and Ty Irby upon which to depend to relieve the number one detail.

Here Comes Sinkwich—He'd Rather Dance Than Play Ball He'll Have a Lot 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 WELCOME TO COLUMBUS The Most Talked About Clothing Values In America wmmm College Clothes for College Men Broadway at 10th St. Broadway at 13th St. COLUMBUS, GA. '41 season. 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 • E N R I C H E D BREAD CONTAINS VITAMIN Bl AND IRON FOR YOUR HEALTH ALL BALL'S BREAD IS ENRICHED BALL'S BAKERY OPELIKA 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, (Continued on Page 6) HUNGRY! .

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.

"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.

Miss Nungester, a graduate of Alabama College, has studied art at the Chicago Art Institute, and the Art Students League in New York. She has worked in the various media of oil, watercolor, litheography etching,; and sculpture. APPOINTMENTS (Continued from Page 1) Mullin; 1st Lt. R. M. Morton (1st Plat.); 1st Lt. J. C.

Martin, librarian, reports that a representative of the Portland Cement Association called at the library this week and left three new pamphlets on recent developments in the use of cement. The pamphlets have been placed in the handsome binders furnished by the Association several years ago. One set of the binders remains in the main library and another is kept in the architectural library. 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. DODGE & PLYMOUTH SALES & SERVICE oOo- DEPENDABLE MOTOR CO. H. D. REED, Prop. OPELIKA YARDSTICK 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.

TICKET BOOKS TO ELECTIONS TO FOSTER THE AUBURN SPIRIT' VOLUME LXV "ALABAMA POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE, AUBURN, ALABAMA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1941 NUMBER 14 CADET CORPS APPOINTMENTS RELEASED Brigade Colonel To Be Appointed Later 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.

(Continued on Page 6) Page Two THE PLAINSMAN October 31, 1941 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.

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 and are not to be construed as the editorial 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.

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.

"Honky-Tonk" Cast Full of Established Screen Actors In "Honky-Tonk," starring Clark Gable and Lana Turner, opening- at the Tiger Theater on Sunday, the principals will be supported by a cast whose players, 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 the shopkeeper in "The Shop Around the Corner." In "Honky- Tonk" he takes the part of Judge Cotton, a shady character in a Western frontier town. Claire Trevor is a young act- CO-EDS!

E. A. meeting here Tuesday afternoon by Dr. H. C. Pannell, president of the A. E. A. and professor of education at the University of Alabama. More than 500 public school teachers and administrators were present from Autauga, Bullock, Chambers, Coosa, Lee, Macon, Montgomery, Randolph, Russell, and Tallapoosa counties. In brief, the program, adopted recently by the Association's legislative 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. schools and for higher education. 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 and county superintendents of education. 6. Free textbooks for the first six grades of the public schools. The meeting opened Tuesday morning with committee sessions headed by the following chairmen: Ethics, Ralph Draughon, executive secretary at the college; legislative, B. B. Nelson, principal of Tallassee High School; professional relations, Virgil McCain, principal/of Pine Level School; public relations, Dr. Paul Irvine, professor of education here; spiritual and moral values in education, Frank Orr, professor of architectural construction at A. P. I.; and teacher welfare, T. M. Pierce, Tallassee High School.* The afternoon program was as follows: Demonstration lesson in public school music by Dr. Al ton O'Steen, State supervisor of music; invocation by Dr. W. C. Cowart; committee reports; address by Dr. Pannell and forum discussions on "The New Course of Study for Alabama", with Mrs. J. Roy Gantt, Wetumpka, Mrs. Charlotte Peterson, Mon-tevallo, D. L. Taylor, Montgomery, and W. O. Langley, Phenix City, respectively, presiding over the primary, intermediate, junior high school, and senior high school groups.

I OUR SELECTION IS NOW COMPLETE B U R T O N 'S "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- CALL BOB'S TAXI 911 PHo°R NE 9111 Operated entirely by Students New Cars Quick Service Opelika Coca-Cola Bottling Co.

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.

Phone 562 Page Four THE P L A I N S M AN October 31, 1941 Sports Th& Plairidmarh p age 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 handling the ball carrying duties for the past three weeks. Monk Gafford, with a brilliant tailback-ing record already behind him, will start at left half, speedster Charley Finney will show at right half, Capt. Lloyd Cheatham will be the quarterback and Jim Reynolds the fullback. Return of substitute Jim Barganier from the sick list will strengthen the back-field considerably, giving Coach Meagher a second quartet composed of Buck Jenkins, Barganier, Aubrey Clayton and Ty Irby upon which to depend to relieve the number one detail.

All are lettermen. Williams, Ardillo and Eddins will start against the Dogs. Here Comes Sinkwich—He'd Rather Dance Than Play Ball He'll Have a Lot 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 WELCOME TO COLUMBUS The Most Talked About Clothing Values In America wmmm College Clothes for College Men Broadway at 10th St. Broadway at 13th St. COLUMBUS, GA. '41 season. 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 • E N R I C H E D BREAD CONTAINS VITAMIN Bl AND IRON FOR YOUR HEALTH ALL BALL'S BREAD IS ENRICHED BALL'S BAKERY OPELIKA 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, (Continued on Page 6) HUNGRY! .

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.

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.

'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. •Results of past games folow.

Works of Mildred Nungester to Be Shown Next Week The Applied Art Department announces an exhibition of Miss Mildred Nungester's watercolors during the week of Nov. 1-8. Thirty selected paintings will be on display daily from 8 to 12 a. m. and 1 to 5 and 7 to 10 p. m. in the Architectural Library. The exhibit may be seen from 8 to 12 on Saturdays. Miss Nungester is an Alabama artist, residing in Decatur. Her painting, "Alabama Cabin", was selected last year to hang-in the Social Center here in Auburn. The colorful design of the painting fitted in with the decorating plan of the, rooms of the Social Center. Miss Nungester, a graduate of Alabama College, has studied art at the Chicago Art Institute, and the Art Students League in New York. She has worked in the various media of oil, watercolor, litheography etching,; and sculpture. APPOINTMENTS (Continued from Page 1) Mullin; 1st Lt. R. M. Morton (1st Plat.); 1st Lt. J. C.

The pamphlets have been placed in the handsome binders furnished by the Association several years ago. One set of the binders remains in the main library and another is kept in the architectural library. 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. DODGE & PLYMOUTH SALES & SERVICE oOo- DEPENDABLE MOTOR CO. H. D. REED, Prop. OPELIKA YARDSTICK 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.
