TIGERS BREAK EVEN
WITH FLORIDA 'GATORS
Long Losing Streak of
Plainsmen Is Broken
Real estate agents, natives, and
other enthusiasts have often
spoken in praise of the salubrious
Florida climate, and have taken
the pains to enumerate its many
beneficent effects. To this long
list may now be added the fact that
it was in the state of flowers that
the Auburn team broke its long losing
streak and trimmed the Florida
University to the tune of 10 to 3.
The Alligators did win the second
game but that is only a detail.
In the first engagement the Tig
ers showed liking for the succulent
flesh of the Alligator, and with the
aid of eight solid hits together with
assorted errors, bases on balls, etc.,
managed to compile ten runs.
Now there have been occasions
during the current season where
these ten runs would have been
hardly enough to win a game for
Auburn, but Josephus Market kept
the eight Florida hits so well scattered
that only three runs resulted.
Thus to Mr. Market goes the honor
of winning both of the games in
which Auburn has been victorious
this'season.
Encouraged in the first game the
Tigers started out in the second half
of the double bill with a flourish,
gathering three runs in the first
inning. However about this time
the Gator meat began to get a little
tough, so the first inning marked
the end of the Tiger's scoring activities.
However Doug Knight
was pitching air-tight ball, and it
looked like a 3 to 0 victory, but
alas, in the fifth Florida staged one
of the old-time rallies, and scored
four runs, being helped along by
two Tiger miscues. And so the
game ended, 4 -to 3.
Although they lost one of the
j^mes, the Tigers played an improved
brand of ball, and the root-

DOWE IS WINNER OF
HUTCHINSON MEDAL
T. G. Dowe of Montgomery, Alabama,
a member of the Senior class
in electrical engineering here has
been awarded the Miller Reese
Hutchinson medal in inventive design.
The medal was formally
presented to Mr. Dowe by President
Dowell at the Thursday convocation
hour last week.
The medal offered by Dr. Miller
Reese Hutchinson, an Auburn man
who has achieved fame in the
realm of invention, is awarded to
that student who shows the most
original inventive genius in machine
design. Incidentally it was
pointed out that this course in inventive
design offered by Prof. M. J.
Fullan, head of the department of
machine designing and drawing is
unique in that no similar course as
far as is known is offered in engineering
colleges.
Each year Professor p " , , i ' n prepares
and presents to the ^iidents
various original problems for solution.
The solution requires considerable
imagination and the inventive
instinct. More than seventy
men, members of the Junior
class, were enrolled in the course
in inventive design this year.
The medal has been awarded
for the past six years by Dr. Hutchinson.
It was won last year by
Andrew Malone of Ensley, Ala.
BIRMINGHAM NEWS
ADDS SCHOLARSHIPS
Now Giving Twenty, To-tailing
$10,000 Annually
The Birmingham News has announced
the completion of its
scholarship program through the
gift of five additional scholarships
to worthy Alabama boys and girls
who would not otherwise be able
to secure a college education. This
makes a total of twenty boys and
girls in colleges at the expense of
the News, representing a total expenditure
of $10,000 per year for
this work in Alabama. Under the
plan as contemplated by this newspaper
there are a freshman, a sophomore
and a junior at each of the
five colleges at present, each enjoying
a four year scholarship. With
the* five to be added this year there
will be a News Scholarship student
in each of the four classes of Alabama's
five largest colleges.
The five additional scholarships
for this year will be distributed as
in the past as follows: One at Auburn;
one at the University; one
at Alabama College, and one each
at Howard and Birmingham-Southern.
Each scholarship will cover
necessary expenses including tuition,
books and supplies, board and
laundry, up to a maximum of
$500 each year for not more than
four years. The scholarships will
be awarded by the presidents of
the various colleges purely on merit
and there are no strings tied to the
offer in any way.
This additional contribution is an
extension of the philanthropic
movement being carried out by the
News for higher education in Alabama.
Two years ago Auburn was
presented with a first-class radio
station by the News and other liberal
contributions have been made
recently to educational institutions
in the state. •

STORE FOR AUBURN
AG. CLUB BANQUET
A HUGE SUCCESS
Minneapolis Symphony Or
chestra To Be Here
May 1st
Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra,
famous the world over, will
appear in Auburn on Thursday,
May 1. The orchestra, which has
traveled a distance equal to six
times the circumference of the
earth, left Minneapolis on March 31,
for a tour including Chicago, Grand
Rapids, Mich., Toledo, and other
leading cities of the North as well
as the South. The Southern itinerary
includes for the first time
the states of Alabama, Virginia,
North and South Carolina, Georgia
and Florida. The present tour will
cover 6,000 miles. The Symphony
Orchestra will give two performances
at Auborn, matinee at 3:30
and evening at 7:30 o'clock.
The appearance of the Minneapolis
Orchestra follows closely the
appearance of Miss Mary Frances
O'Connell, said to be Alabama's outstanding
daughter in the field of
music in opera and song recital.
This recital was scheduled for
April 25.
Professor Thomas and his coworkers
said today that a large
number of inquiries in regard to
both of these outstanding attractions
has been received from music
lovers throughout East Alabama.
Special arrangement will be necessary
for the Symphony Orchestra
which consists of more than 100
pieces. Accordingly it is planned
to have the Orchestra concert in
the Alumni Gymnasium. Practically
the entire floor will be occupied
by members of the orchestra. Seating
space it is said will be limited
to approximately 800 persons and
in order to secure seats mail orders
with checks addressed to Alabama
Polytechnic Institute will be necessary.

Annual Affair Proves One
Of Interest and
Splendor
TAU BETA PIS HOLD
ANNUAL SPRING
BANQUET AND INITIATION
Tuesday night the local chapter
of Tau Beta Pi held its annual
spring initiation and banquet for
the Junior pledges. The initiation
was conducted early in the evening
and after this the chapter retired
to the Auburn Cafe for the
banquet. Here during the customary
procedure the new members
were lectured to and instructed by
the outgoing chapter as to the duties
that would soon fall upon their
shoulders. The faculty members
were present and among them Prof.
R. C. Hixon who was taken in as
Graduate member. Speeches were
made by several of the members
present and during the evening the
realization of graduation and departure
cast a momentary gloom
over those present. This was soon
dispelled after Prof. Fullan cheered
the entire assemblage with his
wit.
The Spring initiates that compose
next year's chapter are: R. J.
Barefield, R. A. Bejts, R. H. Cobbs,
Max Ford, J. G. Hieber, H. F.
Schwekendiek, A. L. Scott, W. B.
Wood and A. Y. McConnell. Professor
Hixon was taken through as
Graduate Member. After a pledge
of friendship by all, the banquet
came to a close
The Agricultural Club Banquet
which was held last Thursday
night, was one of the very most enjoyable
affairs of the Spring. This
banquet which has become an annual
affair of the club was one of
splendor and it may be said that it
was the "bestest yet". The decorations
used were beautiful adding
to the charm of the occasion.
Music was furnished throughout
the feast by Tommy Jones' orchestra.
Dr. F. L. Thomas ably acted his
part as toastmaster,. introducing
the speakers of the evening who
were: Prof. M. J. Funchess, dean
of Agriculture, W. C. Lasseter, editor
of the Progressive Farmer,
Birmingham; P. W. Hodges of the
state department of education;
Prof. L. N. Duncan, director of the
extension service, Julian Brown,
editor-in-chief of the Alabama
Farmer, which is published by the
students, and S. H. Gibbons.
Mr. Lasseter during the course
of his speech on "Agressive Pro-gressiveness"
made particular reference
to the co-operative.' milk
marketing system as it is being
practiced by the' dairymen Of Jefferson
county, and declared that
it is a model and outstanding example.
He made the statement
that: " There is no doubt as to the
future, success of agriculture in
Alabama, thanks to the work of
the Alabama Polytechnic Institute."
Mr. P. W. Hodges used
as his subject "Pep". He made a
splendid talk on co-operation,
which he declared to be necessary
for progress along any line of general
interest. *
One of the most interesting features
of the banquet was the presentation
of a cup given by the
Gamma Sigma Delta, honor society
of Agriculture, to the best
all-round junior in agriculture. After
holding the entire society in
suspense for a few minutes the cup
was formally presented to E. E.
Hale, of Monroe County, by Prof.
L. M. Ware, president of the Gamma
Sigma Delta Society.
The closing number of the evening
was the presentation of agricultural
club diplomas to eighteen
seniors in agriculture by Dr. W. A.
Gardner. Those receiving diplomas
were: T. W. Thaggard, Julian
Brown, L. H. Tapscott, J. E. Hamilton,
W. C. Taylor, R. W. Taylor,
R. A. Nunn, J. H. Pirkle, S. H. Gibbons,

'A" CLUB GIVES GOOD DANCE
On last Saturday night from nine-thirty
until twelve, the "A" club
gave one of its best treats to the
dancing population of Auburn.
Like the good fellows that the members
are, they furnished a fine
bowl of punch for the thirsts and
better music for the feet. Tom
Jones' Orchestra, which is gaining
more and more popularity every
day, furnished the music for the
occasion.
Recently the Auburn R. 0. T. C.
rifle team has completed one of the
most successful seasons that'it has
ever had. Due to an indoor range
which was installed this year the
team members have been able to
keep their average much higher
than ever before.
During the season individual
matches were fired with the University
of Tennessee, Mississippi A.
& M., University of Cincinnati,
University of Illinois, South Dakota
A. & M., Louisiana State University,
and the Columbus Rifle
Club. The team won four of these
matches and lost three, but it
showed up well in the Corps Area
matches, Hearst Trophy match and
the Inter-Corps Area matches. Auburn
placed sixth in the Corps
Area matches against the strongest ^ i n g c a m p a i g n . H e p r o v e d h i m s e if
teams that have ever fired in these
matches. The Auburn team was
designated as one of the live teams-to
represent the Fourth Corps Arer ^ ^
in the National matches, and in the
four matches shot a "score" "Of" 7868
out of a possible 8000 was recorded.
Two seven-man teams were
entered in the Hearst Trophy
match, one of which made a score
of 1795 and the other 1813 out of
a possible 2000.
Much of the success of the team
has been due to the untiring efforts
of Captains Groves and Althaus
and Sergeant McFeely who have
given freely of their time for coaching.
The captain of the team this
year was D. M. Chambers of Sheffield,
Alabama, and the captain-elect
for next year is J. H. Johnson
of Talladega, Alabama. Other
team members are J. H. Reeves, H.
D. Stephenson, A. H. Riley, L. G.
Simcox, W. B. Wood, E. Graf, T. C.
McCarley, W. C. McCarley, J. R.
Nelson, C. E. Howell, S. L. Morrow,
and J. R. Moore.
AUBURN ENTERS
GA. TECH RELAYS
Nine representatives of the
track team are going to Atlanta
this Saturday to take part in the
Georgia Tech Relays. Most of the
Southern Colleges will be entered
and the Tigers will have plenty" of
opposition. The tracksters have
had a good record this season, and
they should be able to garner several
points in the meet.
Auburn has entered a team in
the sprint medley, Greene or Martin
running the 220, Nelson in the 220,
Creel in the quarter, and the reliable
Stockelberg in the half. Other
Auburn entrants are Lock in the
pole vault, Marquis in the high
jump and the high hurdles and
White in the discus and the javelin.
Interest in track has increased
considerably in the South during
the past few years, and the holding
of these relays by Tech is a
great forward movement in the interest
of better Southern athletics.
"Emma Wins," shouts the announcer,
and as a thousand voices
proclaim the glad tidings with
their cheers, two thousand more
inhabitants of the Village are
thrilled with joy. By a whirlwind
finish during the closing
hours of the campaign, "Emma"
Goleman's forces massed
their attack and turned what appeared
to be a defeat into a victory,
and what is more, they made
it a landslide. The count showed
a win of over four to one and thus
"Emma" will be "Queen of the
May."
Not since Harrison and Tyler's
"Hard-cider campaign" a century
ago won the presidential honors
of the nation, has a more sensational
election been held. As the
last hour of the contest approached
it was found that "The People's
Choice" was trailing by a thousand
votes. • As a consequence Earl G.
Lutz, Emma's campaign manager,
showed his ability to direct a win-a
master in the popular art of
politics by massing all available
forces and gotttnf his wK i y that
In the desperate drive -for victory,
music was brought into play.
When the band began to play the
needed shekels began pouring in.
The vociferous Harold Leptine
Bourgeous, better known as "Bush-wha"
was pressed into the service,
and heartily cooperated in the
worthy cause. The ringing voice
of Old Silver Tongue lured many
a lonesome dime from the pockets
of the supporters of "Emma." He
pleaded valiantly from his strategic
point in front of the down town
headquarters, The Tiger Drug
Store.
Nor were the activities of Emma's
supporters confined to the
main street of the Village. Far be
it from that, as a mass meeting was
held in Old Langdon Hall which
filled the historic old building to
the over-flowing. Local talent, both
musical and otherwise, was so inspired
by the great cause that a
concert was given that eclipsed all
past performances in the Hall. The
needed funds were quickly supplied
and by the closing moments of the
campaign, "Emma" was leading by
a neat little margin of eleven thousand
votes.
So there is much cause for the
reigning joy in the Village. Albert
Sidney "Emma"' Goleman is to be
"May Queen." Earl Lutz, who so
gallantly championed his cause is
to be maid of honor, with Fatty
McCully and others strowing the
flowers. It is also rumored that
"Bevo" is being groomed for one
of the important roles of the program.
Be that as it may, the motto
is "Long Live Auburn 1 All Hail
the Queen 1"
As this is leap year the co-eds at
the University of Minnesota are
thinking of petitioning for a course
in matro-(men)ology, a study of
the science of getting men. Grades
will be based on the number of
"birds" bagged and A's will be issued
to all of those who have attached
"Mrs" to their names at the
end of the scholastic year.

A MUSICAL TREAT
Students, townspeople and hundreds
of music lovers of this section
of the State are fortunate
enough to have an opportunity of
hearing a real Symphony Orchestra
next week. Auburn is the smallest
town appearing on the schedule of
a six thousand mile tour and the
attendance at our small village will
be watched. Auburn has a large
number of music lovers and the
local talent of this most enjoyable
art has greatly improved during
the past year. The Minneapolis
Symphony Orchestra is one of the
leading organizations of this kind
in the country and is by far the
most important of the lyceum numbers
given here this year. In fact
it is the greatest musical treat ever
offered at Auburn and every lover
of music should attend if the
"wherewith" can be acquired. ,
REAL SPIRIT
On Tuesday evening when the local
talent gave their impromptu
concert for "Emma's" campaign
about one thousand students fell in
line and gave the. best demonstration
of "pep" and real college spirit
that has been displayed on the campus
in the past four years. It was
just the proper spirit for eradication
of any grouch that might have
been lingering in any individual
for the past few weeks or even
months. Every man present seemed
to be doing his bit and doing
it well. The band played, the orchestra
gave its best, the quartette
sang and several individuals did
nobly in the "single-barreled" numbers.
The audience that packed
Langdon Hall to overflowing played
a good part by the enthusiasm
shown. The whole affair was a
spontaneous outburst of real college
spirit, and of that kind that
has always made Auburn a winner.
It showed how the students can
put over a winner when they try,
and at the same time with the
proper spirit. The old traditional
pep still lives, so long live the
"AUBURN SPIRIT."
LIVE MEETING OF THE
WILSONIAN SOCIETY
HOW TIGERS ARE BATTING
One of the Wilsonian's most interesting
programs of the year was
rendered at the regular meeting this
week. The usual large number of
members were present and much
enthusiasm was displayed.
The program opened with a most
interesting talk on Social Ethics by
Ruby Powell. Elta Majors next
gave a reading on the gruesome
subject "How a Married Man Sews
on a Button," which turned out to
be of the most entertaining nature.
Bertha Aplin followea with a humorous
experience of a ride from
Auburn to Notasulga in a sleeping
car. Annamerle Arant gave an instructive
talk on "Silver Threads
Among the Gold."
The biggest hit of the evening
came when "Billy" Morgan and
Gladys Nabors, with guitar accompaniment,
sang several entertaining
duets. The audience called
them back with several encores.
"Rat" Daughette responded with
a good collection of jokes. "Rat"
Wilder, operator at station 5XA-WMAV,
gave a most instructive talk
on the educational value of radio.
The program was concluded with
Clara Nale's idea of an ideal home
It is hoped that her vivid imagi
nation will help her in life as it
did in her talk.
KAPPA ALPHAS ENTERTAIN
WITH ROYAL FEAST
On Wednesday night the Kappa
Alpha fraternity entertained several
hundred of their friends with
a delightful "feed" at their chapter
houses on Gay Street. Long tables
laden with choice products of culinary
art were given over to the
"tender care" of the multitude
present, all of whom feasted to
their heart's content. The courses
included a full supply of fried
chicken, various kinds of sandwiches,
cakes, candies, fruits, ices,
and everything necessary for an
entirely successful feast. The entire
affair consisted of hospitality
that could not be excelled.
ENGINEERING STUDENTS
HEAR INTERESTING LECTURE
No matter what else the Tigers
are accused of, they cannot be accused
of being inconsistent. For
the past several weeks the batting
average has been hovering around
the .210 mark. Twice during the
season they have become inspired
and boosted their mark considerably,
as in the first Vandy and
Florida games, but they got back
in form soon after and took their
old mark. However, the locals have
shown signs of improvement and
before long we expect to announce
several .300 hitters instead of only
one. This lonesome player is none
other than Rough Ed Allen, who
spurted in the Florida series and
crossed into the charmed circle
with 8 points to spare.

MEMBER OF JUNIOR CLASS
WEDS OPELIKA GIRL
One of cupid's shafts landed in
the Village of the Plains yesterday,
resulting in the marriage of Samuel
O. Benson of Foley, Alabama, a
member of the Junior Class, and
Miss Ruby Capps, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Robert Capps of Opelika.
The wedding ceremony was performed
Thursday morning at the
residence of Mr. and Mrs. M. M.
Dunn,-the Rev. Earl Holmes, pastor
of the Auburn Baptist Church, officiating.
Mr. Benson and his bride left for
Troy where the former is a dele
gate at the annual district B. Y. P,
U. Convention.
Mr. Benson is a student in veterinary
medicine, a member of the
Veterinary Medical Association, the
dramatic club and the Wilsonian
Literary Society. He expects to
graduate at Auburn next year.
WEBSTERIANS HOLD
INTERESTING MEETING
SPORT FOR POOR SPORTS
Some "thinkless wonders" who
appear to have more gas than
brains continue to try to use the
baseball field for a speedway. Any
thinking person should know that
speeding a car over the diamond
makes ridges on the surface that
hinders the fielding greatly. It is
also these thoughtless types of fellows
who are first to "razz"' a
player when he makes a bobble
on an impossible grounder. There
is no excuse for driving a car over
the ball field and all who try it
should be dealt with harshly.
Members of the American Institute
of Electrical Engineers had a
rare opportunity at their last meeting
of hearing C. A. M. Weber, representative
of the small motor engineering
department of the Westing-house
Electric and Manufacturing
Company, deliver a splendid lecture
on the subject of "Harmonies
Due to Slot Openings." The lecture
was illustrated by lantern
slides.
Mr. Weber is one of the outstanding
graduates of Auburn, having
received his master's degree in
1907 and his professional- degree
in 1914. At present his headquarters
are in Springfield, Mass.
The Websterian Literary Society
held its regular meeting of the week
but with only a short program as
too much excitement was being
carried on about the "election of
Emma" to think very much about
society work. However a few
good talks were made which included
Miss Mary Todd, who told
of the Duke of York in her usual
charming way.
Mr. Ed. Levy gave a splendid
talk on the Senior Inspection trip
which was held a few days ago.
He told of some of his experiences
on.the trip and the value of such
a trip.
The society this year has been
more active than ever before and
has contributed- much to Literary
Society work on the Campus.
Great work is expected from the
society during the coming year.
KAPPA SIGMAS
GIVES BIG "FEED*
After the first show Friday night
the Kappa Sigma fraternity enter
tained their friends at a "feed" on
the "tennis court. The court was
appropriately decorated with electric
lights draped with streamers
in the fraternity colors.
After the blessing was asked by
the Rev. Mr. Ossman, hundreds
present enjoyed sandwiches, ice
cream, cake and punch while they
were entertained by music furnish
ed by the Mandolin Club.

This cap stays put!
Other caps get lost but the new Williams
Hinge-Cap stays where you want it. Truly,
that's an improvement.
Like the cap, the shaving cream in the
Williams tube is a big improvement, too. For
Williams lather is heavier and faster-working.
It holds the'water in, so that your beard is
softened sooner. And the lather lubricates. The
razor fairly glides over your skin! Because of a
soothing ingredient in Williams you can shave
daily yet always have a smooth and well-cared-for
face. .Williams is pure, natural-white cream.
Absolutely without coloring matter. Buy it, try
it—with the new Hinge-Cap!

THE TRUE TEST OF LOVE
If, my son, a girl values your
caresses above an unwrinkled ballgown
she truly loves you.
—Cornell Widow.
Top spinning is the latest fad
that has invaded the Stanford campus.
Several followers of the pastime
have been seen in various
places on the grounds practicing
their art during the past week.
These disciples of the top claim
that it is their hope to make this an
intercollegiate sport in the near future.
The fraternity men of the Louisiana
State University have voluntarily
signed a pledge to refrain
from the use of spirituous liquors
during the fraternity dances. They
agree on their word of honor to observe
this pledge and to report any
violations of it. Punishment for
violation of the pledge is disbarment
from future dances.
The Flappers Club of Raliegh, N.
C, was aroused to righteous indignation
over a statement made in
"Ye Gods," a play given by the
Carolina Playmakers, to the effect
that the modern girl was trying to
make herself resemble a chorus girl
by the use of paint, lip-stick, eyebrow
pencil, etc. Their anger was
so great that they put it into expression
in a letter to the Tar Heel.
They seemed not to resent the insinuation
about the cosmetics as
much as they resented being accused
of trying to imitate anyone.
They also took a fling at the college
girl and accused her of being a
stick who never used any of the
aforementioned facial makeup. A
great contempt was expressed for
any girl who went, or wanted to
go any further with her education
than the so-called "finishing
school."
CAVE MAN STUFF
Out in a canoe Bill took Sue
And then alasl alack 1
He sought the bliss of a soulful
kiss;
She gave his jaw a smack,
And kicked his shin and punched
his chin,
And then—he paddled her back.

THE LITERATI
She: Did you ever read Dr. Jekyl
and Mr. Hyde?
He: Yep, they were the two dullest
books I ever tried to wade
through.
—The Coal Bin.
She—Who's the fellow with the
long hair?
He—He's a fellow from Yale.
She—Oh, I've often heard of
those Yale locks!
—Technique.

She is evidently going in for
something more useful."
"How so?"
"Now she writes that she has

"Yes, suh, man," said Ambrose,
"I can trace my relations back to

To you capitalists
— the class of '24
Your college training is in truth a capital. Its value
is not fixed, but depends on the way you invest it.
Some men demand a quick return — a high percentage
of profit. Others look more to the solidity
of the investment.
The man of speculative mind may stake all on the
lure of a high starting salary, without a thought to
the company which gives it or where this may lead
him in ten years. True, his opportunism may reap
exceptional profit; or else a loss.
The man who knows that great things develop
slowly will be content with six months' progress in
six months' time—provided he is investing that
time in a company which offers him a/uture.
You who are about to invest, satisfy yourself that
the security you are getting is gilt-edged.

there is under the auspices of
the Alabama Polytechnic Institute

students. The audience, however,
.will, be made up of music lovers
frtfm a radius of 100 miles.
. Th< afternoon concert will .include
the following: Overture to»
"The Merry Wives of Windsor,"
Nicolai; "Peer Gynt", Greig; Prelude
to "The Deluge", Saint Saens;
"Waiata Poi", Alfred Hill; Overture
"OUron", Weber; Second Hungarian
Rhapsody, Liszt. The evening
concert will include Overture to
"Der Freischutz", Weber; Selections
from Incidenta; Music to
Shakespeare's "Midsummer Night's
Dream", Mendelssohn; Prelude to
"Lohengrin", Wagner; Suite from
Ballet "The Nut-Cracker", Tachai-kowsky;
Waltz of the Flowers.
Symphonic Poem No. 1 Op 31 "Le
Rouet d' Omphale", "Les Preludes",
Symphonic-Poem No. 3, Liszt.
