HUNDRED GIRLS
AT MID-YEAR
JUNIOR PROM
Favorable Mention Made Of
Students Conduct Much
Improvement Shown
The Junior Proms were the most
successful and orderly dances held
in Auburn in recent years is the
consensus of opinion and concurred
in by the Social Director and facul­ty
members in charge.
Especially was the work of the
Social Committee commendable ac­cording
to those interviewed. Earl
"" Pride, President of the Committee
and his associates were instrumental
in making the dances successful
through their cooperation with fac­ulty
members in charge.
The Interfraternity Council ten­dered
its support to those in charge
and aided materially in the success
of the dances. The Student Council
contributed in maintaining the high
standards set'throughout the dances.
The main entrances were handled
ably by Pete Mclntrye and Fats Mc­Neill.
Bill Perryman, secretary of
the Social Committee had charge of
registering the girls.
The, out df town girls numbering
approximately one hundred were
from various sections of the South­land
and constituted one of the
largest assemblages of visiting girls
here for the dances in a number of
years. The visitors were housed in
the S a mgiNg|j gbmnLf|CMFWY
the Sigma Nu, Theta Chi, and Lamb­da
Chi Alpha fraternity houses. The
houses were chaperoned by Mr. and
Mrs. Collins of Birmingham, Captain
and Mrs. Anderson, Prof, and Mrs.
Homer Gentry. Captain and Mrs.
Althaus, Coach Hutsell and Captain
and Mrs. Cushman were chaperones
"In my opinion they were the best
dances we have had," was the state­ment
made by Miss Zoe Dobbs, So­cial
Director, who had direct charge
of the dances. Miss Dobbs declared
that the conduct as a whole was
above reproach and expressed her
appreciation for the way in which
the various organizations cooperated
in making the dances a success.
The following is a list of the girls
who attended the dances and the
boys who invited them:

AUBURN PLAYERS TO
STAGE CHARLESTON
CONTEST ON FEB. 18
Auburn must bow its head to the
march of progress. In recognition
of this fact,.the Auburn Players are
going to award a handsome loving
cup to that student who most suc­cessfully
ties bis body into the knots
required of the accomplished Char-lestonian
and who best exhibits the
gyrations of that mad, fantastic
dance. There are no requirements
other than the ability to disjoint one's
members while he keeps time to the
latest jazz shuffle-song.
This contest will take place on
the night when "Collegiately Speak­ing,"
the super-snappy musical show,
will be presented at Langdon Hall,
February 18th. The competition is
open to anyone in Auburn, members
of the audience as well as people
who are taking part in the frenzied
musical show.
Applications for the competition
must be mailed to the Auburn Play­ers
before noon of February 18th.
The winner is to be decided by the
applause of the audience and the cup
is to become the permanent posses­sion
of the winner. Watch for the
cup, which will soon be on display
in a local shop.
Remember: "Collegiately Speak­ing'"
— Langdon Hall — February
eighteenth! Win that cup!

The second Y. M. C. A. banquet
of this year was held at the Touch­down
Dining Hall on last Friday
night, January 29. A number of the
lieutenants and captains were pre­sent
on this occasion. •
C. B. Burgoyne, president of the
Y. M. C. A. was toast master. Mr.
Burgoyne gave an outline of the
future plans of the Y. M. C. A. There
are to be held eight discussion groups
this semester and a week of evan­gelistic
services. These services will
be conducted by Rev. Vance of
Nashville Tennessee, and are to be
held the week of April 26. A go to
Church and Sunday School Sunday is
to be fostered by the Y. M. C. A. in
which it is hoped that every student
on the campus will attend church
and Sunday school.
The matter of discussion groups
was discussed by R. C. Crawford.
R. S. Mosley gave some interesting
information in regard to all College
Stunt Night which is to take place
Friday night. He urged that it was
important that every organization
should be represented by some good
stunt. A prize will be awarded to the
organization which pulls off the best
stunt. L. L. Alldridge gave a brief
report of the work done by the Blue
'division while J. B. Stewart gave an
account of the Orange division.
The Obligations of Christian Col­lege
students was forcibly brought
out by Rev. E. W. Holmes. He em­phasized
the fact that Auburn ought
to adopt the slogan "Auburn for
Christ." Dr. Dowell spoke just a few
words to the friendship council be-jdu<> i o t he
fore the dismissal by Rev. McNeal.
R. D. Yarbrough and F. Boyd fur­nished
music for the evening.
A booklet has been published by
the City of Auburn advertising for
bids on the paving project to be
started within the next month. Seal­ed
bids will be received until Febru­ary
24. The work calls for the
paving of College Street from the
station to the main entrance of
the campus, Magnolia Street from
College to Gay, and Gay from the
corner where the Kappa Sigma
House is located to connect with
the highway which'will be paved by
the state.
The work consists of the following
approximate quantities: 24,069
square yards concrete paving; 7,005
lineal feet curb and gutter; 7,900
cubic yards of grading and storm
drainage. Plans and specifications
are on file in the City Hall.
George L. Moulton has been re­tained
as Engineer of the project and
the bids will be received by Mayor
Yarbrough.
INFANTRY UNIT
HAS NEW CLUB
LARGE RAIN FALL
HERE IN JANUARY
Ashurst's Group Wins
Discussion Contest
Auburn had a large rainfall dur­ing
January this year, although it
was 2 inches less than that of last
year during the same month.
Last year the rainfall during Janu­ary
was 11.9 which was far above
normal. One single day there was
9.85 inches rainfall during the same
month. The greatest fall for one
day was 2.8 inches.
During the month there were 18
cloudy days, 10 clear days, and 13
rainy days. The temperature was
below freezing on 9 days in Janu­ary
this year while last year there
were 8 days below freezing.
Among the many organizations on
the campus, the Infantry Club is
probably the baby one in age. A
few weeks ago the members of the
infantry unit met and organized an
Infantry Club which is to meet
every other Monday night after the
first show.
The first meeting since the club
was organized wa^ .held, at the in­fantry
room <m lastMonday night.
Although the attendance was small,

number of items of interest to the
club were transacted. Due to the ab­sence
of the members of the com­mittee
which was to draw up the con­stitution
and by laws this item of
business was postponed until the
next meeting. Captain K. G. Alth­aus
spoke to the club on the future
plans for the club. He informed the
club that he was planning to organize
a baseball club for the unit and hop­ed
to be able to put one over on the
various teams that the club might

LIONS VOTE DOWN
WHISKER MOTION
_ At the last meeting of the Lions
Club, a very unique resolution was
put before the members for adop­tion,
it being introduced by Lion
H. G. Grant and provided that all
Lions should grow moustaches.
The resolution in brief provided,
that all Lions and members in keep­ing
with the emblem the king of beast
ir. the jungle, should grow proper
whiskers. It further required that
al! members cultivate a moustache
immediately, and if any Lion failed
it would indicate that he willfully
refuses, or is incapable of growing
one. In either case said Lion is in­eligible
for membership to the club,
or at the least fined or assessed.
Telegrams were read from the In­ternational
Lions Headquarters in
Chicago, stating that they approved

A SLIGHT ERROR
Each year the Friendship Council

this year for the most representa­tive
group and the prize consisting of
a free ticket to the semester ban­quet
was given each member of the

to credit the author of the story.
It is with regret that this error was
made, but with pleasure to announce
that the story was written by J. P.

last year. Mr. McArdle spent con­siderable
time gathering data on
this subject as a part of the requir­ed
work in the course taught by
Prof. Hugh G. Grant.

and to work out a program of
sports for the club. An entertain­ment
for the club here and at camp.
S. H. Lynne and Bob Rountree were
appointed to serve on this commit­tee.
The Infantry Club was organized
by the members of the infantry unit
so that they might promote good fel­lowship
among themselves and to
discuss problems that confront the
unit from time to time.
A realization of some kind of or­ganization
for the unit and at camp
during the summer has come to light
at last, and too, to be better able to
participate in the various activities
which take place from time to time.
At the same time such a club helps
to promote good fellowship among
the students. The club meets every
other Monday night after the first
show and the next meeting will be
held on the night of February 15
after the first show.
Captain Thomas Jackson announc­ed
that some recognition would be
given for attendance. An absence
from drill attendance would be erased
and in the case of a person who had no
absence there would be some points
added to the grade of that person.
The following officers have been
elected for this semester. Guy Burns',
president; J. E. Robinson; vice-presi­dent,
and Julian Steen, secretary-treasurer.
A motion was presented to table
the resolution but it was voted down
and put before the society for their
ratification After much deliberation
the resolution was voted down by a
very small majority.
To cap the climax Lion, "Pete"
Gentry proposed that the sponsor of
the movement be fined 50 cents,
but Lion Grant refused on the
important fact. Chief Sims of the
Auburn Fire Department submits to
the State Fire Marshall a report of
the property damage after each fire
that the department reports to. The
fact that the Auburn Students de­stroyed
about twice as much property
as the fire and water is certainly not
an enviable record. Fires are inev­itable,
and since the students are
practically the only protection that
hazard, we should not let this pro-the
towns people have against this
cedure be repeated.' The most of this
was caused by rough handling of
furniture* and removing windows,
light and plumbing fixtures in such
a condition that they were rendered
practically useless. It is requested
that in the future, more care be
taken in removing valuables from

burning buildings, and above all,

The Auburn Fire Department
wishes to express it's appreciation
to the Florence Fire Department for
the Siren and other equipment that
they recently donated the local de­partment.
It is earnestly anticipated
that some worthy citizens of Auburn
will realize the lack of equipment,
and follow the noble example of
the Florence Department.

Stressing the need of more tech­nical
training as a basis for reaching
God through scientific research, Pro­fessor
Frederic Child Biggin, head
of the department of architecture,
used as the keynote for his talk to
the Freshman at their convocation
exercises last Tuesday.
Professor Biggin was presented by
President Dowell, who told of the
rapid strides that have been made
in the department of architecture
since Professor Biggin has assumed
charge. Dr. Dowell further stated
that a department grows according
to its leader, who must fulfill all the
qualifications of a well educated man
of culture.
Professor Biggin told of the lack
of humanizing studies and of the
narrowness of technical training in
our modern schools. Auburn being
no exception to the rule. He fur­ther
related how the colleges confine
themselves strictly to the studies re­quired
in the four year curriculum,
getting no knowledge of outside
studies. The need of a man being
broader than the immediate studies
in his course and to be well versed
in all the sciences was essentially
stated as a necessity to a well round­ed
man.
"All scientists know that research
is the foundation of all knowledge
and although we can not reach God
by actual contact we can get nearer
tc him by scientific research. The
laws of the entire universe are learn­ed
through continued research. We
mnst look back into the
past and p&nt out that tfck
has behind it as much as tt ha* *»
front of it.
"There has been considerable talk
over the origin and distribution of
plant and animal life and today no
definite conclusion has been reached
as to their beginning. Some say
that the first life began in Mongolia
while others say that it began in
Africa. It is very necessary to study
that part of the world which deals
with geography, as the world has
under gone numerous changes since
its creation. For instance some
scientists don't believe that the
oceans have always existed, also it
is a known fact that coal exists in
Alaska, but for the making of coal,
giant ferns are necessary, but to­day
no such vegetation exists in
Alaska. In regard to the oceans
not always existing the United States
government is making extensive ex­periments
to prove or disprove this
theory. Man in his beginning has
lived in numerous climates as he
does today, and he has followed the
lines of work which best suit his tas­te.
When the men of past ages are
studied we are able to learn about
their methods of living and learn
their date but many of the inscrip­tions
are unable to be read. If ac­cording
to scientists, the continents
were once connected it is perfectly
possible that there was an inter­change
of the races. The American
Indian affords a most wonderful
study as he is supposed to be Mongo­lian
in extraction. It is a known ° -
fact that our coast lines are chang­ing
and some consider it possible
that the continents are not fixed but
are only floating.
The speaker discussed the evolu­tion
trial in Dayton, Tenn., very
briefly, stating the legislators in
that state are trying to stop the tide
from rising so as to learn true facts.
"The difference between a scienti­fic
theory and law, is when facts are
learned and not proven it is a theory,
but when these facts are proved it
is said to be a law. In as much as
evolution is a law, theories are very
essential for science to continue.
Evolution in the true sense of the
word merely means growth or order­ly
development backward or forward.

TELEPHONE NUMBER 238—W
The 1926 News Loving Cup, awarded
annually by the Birmingham News to the
citizen of Birmingham who has done out­standing
work in philanthropic and civic
enterprises was awarded to Mr. Erskine
Ramsay, philanthropist and capitalist. The
Plainsman joins with the throngs in con­gratulating
Mr. Ramsay in receiving so
deserved an honor, and the News for its
award in bestowing the honor upon Mr.
Ramsay.
Probably no other individual in the
State has done as much for education
in Alabama as Mr. Ramsay has. During
the past year our new Engineering Build­ing
made possible by him and named in
his honor was opened. Similar donations
have been made to the University, Wo-mans
College, Montevallo, Birmingham-
Southern and Howard College by Mr.
Ramsay.
THE DANCES
A number of favorable comments have
been received from faculty members and
other individuals directly connected with
the dances held recently regarding the
conduct and attitude of the students. Au­burn
men are to be commended for their
conduct, although not perfect, a marked
improvement has been noted.
• It is our belief that the time is near
when a mutual understanding between the
faculty and students.may be affected and
more dances will be permitted. The dan­ces
just past were an exemplification of
the fact that we can and are capable of
conducting ourselves as true Auburn men,
and so doing merit the confidence of the
faculty and be granted permission to have
week end and fraternity dances.
We are not advocating the inauguration
of a round of social entertainments that
' would, distract and hamper the students
in their work. The town is not large
enough to permit such a program and it
would not be consistent here, but we do
'believe that the restoration of "A" club
dances and fraternity dances to be held
on week ends would tend to broaden and
elevate student life in Auburn. Social ac­tivities
are limited and dances, when pro­perly
conducted will furnish more genuine
entertainment than any other form of ac­tivity
for the student body.
did not have back bone to enforce them
and as a result the Rats do as they please.
Several articles have been published in re­gard
to the way the Rats are acting by
breaking all the rules. The writer of the
former articles had just about reached the
conclusion that if the rules were going to
be half way enforced that they might just
as well be abolished: If any campus acti­vity
is to function properly if must have
the backing of all the classes and especial­ly
the Senior class. To date the Senior
class has utterly failed to perform their
duty in regard to the Rat rules and many
students have suggested that they be dis-contigued.
It has been said by many in­cluding
some of our most representative
professors that this year's Senior class is
the saddest one that ever struck Auburn
and it seems that up to date that this
is about the true situation. Of course
there are some members of the Senior
class that do not believe in the Rat rules
and if this former small number has reach­ed
a majority it is best to have the regula­tions
stopped. The rules were adopted by
the various classes several years ago and
the Seniors in those days saw to it that
they were enforced but the class of '26
has failed utterly in their inherited task.
There are men in the class that believe
in the Rat rules and would like to see them
enforced but it seems that they are minus
a leader, why could not the president of
the class assume the leadership? To date
the vigilance committee has not functioned
mainly because the Senior class has not
backed it.
Now that the Seniors have decided to
start things anew' by enforcing the rules
it is hoped that they will remember this
through out the year. One half of the
year has been wasted and the Freshman
have been allowed to run at random, which
was entirely the fault of the Seniors by
not getting behind the movement. It was
rumored through out the campus that
articles have been written to abolish the
rules entirely as they are a farce, but now
that the upper classmen have taken a
stand in regard to the matter these arti­cles
will be withheld.
If the Seniors are sincere in what they
passed on, the majority of the student body
would like to see the vigilance committee
working next Tuesday for the first time
this scholastic year. If the Seniors are
only joking with us, as they have done in
the past, why not do the right thing by
discontinuing the rules? After the Seniors
started the fire last Tuesday, one of the
members of the class parked himself on
Toomer's Corner to See how many Rats
he could catch violating them. In the
short time of ten minutes he secured the
names of about two dozen Freshman, to
be turned up to the right authorities.
Will these Rats be punished as they should,
or will they go free as they have in the
past? The class of '26 can partly redeem
themselves if they will strictly enforce
these regulations the rest of the year.
What do you intend to do about it Seniors,
do you wish to be considered the most
lenient and careless Senior class that ever
left Auburn? Let your answer be not in
words, but in actions and results accom­plished.
In your every day life as you go about
from place to place and see a cross sec­tion
of society you make your criticisms
whether good or bad. In some places you
will find men that are minus the power of
expression in a good sane selected man­ner.
In other words these men can't ex­press
themselves with out letting a vulgar
or common word leave their lips in ^prac­tically
every sentence that they utter.
What is more disgusting than to hear a
man" that is so unrefined and his voca­bulary
so small that Be can't express
himself with out swearing or taking the
name of the Lord in vain?
When we enter college we found every
thing so much different from what it was
when we were in high school, and we have
to quickly make the right adaptation of
be lost,in the whirl. In similiar respects
when we leave college and go out in this
world to make our way and fight our lit­tle
battles, things will be different and
we will have to quickly decide which is
the right road to travel and continue it
regardless of all obstructions. If we are
lead astray the path of failure looms in
the background and a life of preparation
in wasted.
It is easy to picture the members of a
graduation class on the banks of a large
river, the sea of life, some will easily swim
the stream regardless of the swift cur­rents
and under tow, while others will be
lost in the attempt. The ones that weath­er
the gale arid swim across to the other
bank will be the successful ones in life,
while the ones that let the- current carry
theni under will be the failures. The main
thing that a college course prepared a
man for is to be able to successfully cross
the stream, if they fail in this all is lost
regardless of the academic record that
one has made. The individual can play his
part besides preparing his lessons by creat­ing
culture, refinement, and a personality.

• ARE THE SENIORS SINCERE?
At the class meeting of the Seniors
last Tuesday they voted unamiously in
favor of enforcing the Freshman rules
in the future. Of course this is one of
the best moves that they could make but
do they really intend to enforce them?
The only way to find this out is to wait
and see. This is not the first time that
the Seniors have voted or agreed to make
the Rats walk the chalk line by adherring
strictly to the rules. Needless to say they
WILL YOU BE ABLE TO CROSS THE
STREAM
When a man enters college an entirely
new epoch starts in his life, he meets new
friends, has to respond to new situations,
and in a large way his entire life is chang­ed
for better or worse. It is with regret
that some men who enter college, do not
make the right adaptation and some have
to depart. For the men that survive the
tedious work a certain kind of evolution
starts both in a physical, mental, and mor­al
way. In the beginning it must be un­derstood
that the writer's conception of
evolution means growth whether it be
backward or forward. In this process of
growth the individual changes his entire
idea of life and when his alma mater re­leases
him, he is confronted with the task
of putting these ideas into concrete form.
There are men that manage to survive all
exams and thrive along with the survival
of the fittest but in reality they do not
fit in with the college life. When these
men get out in life as college graduates
they do not fulfill the expectations that
the public expects of them and as a result
college men are judged by these few.
There will be certain men that will
pass all their work, in fact make a good
academic record while in college but in
after life fail completely. What is the
reason for this? The logical answer is
that there was some thing minus in their
college curriculum.
Many educators have said that besides
having a college degree a man must be of
refined and cultered manners to make a
success in life. If this is true, then there
are many of us that will make a complete
failure in life due to the lack of refine­ment
and culture.
"CAMPUS TOPICS"
In discussing the problems that confront
us on a campus of today we realize that
they can be discussed from many points
of view. Suppose for a moment that the
students get sarcastic when they are blam­ed
for indulging in the evils and sins that
exist on then- campus and say, "Why
blame us, are we not chips off the old
blocks?"
A freshman coming to college lives into
action his home training. Is his home to
be judged by his actions? We have heard
that since mere babes so why depart from
it now. If we are tired of being cussed
and discussed about this and that why not
refer them to the home address? To ad­just
the evils of the campus why not jump
on the generation of '98? We have lived
under their guiding influence for the
past twenty years and the home training
is instilled in us so deep that we cannot
possibly get away from it, in fact it is
part of us and manifests itself in our
personality and ethics of living. The exec­utives
making the rules for our campus are
not half so narrow minded as some may
think because by inspiring us to higher
ideals they- are laying a foundation for
the future campus.
This article is not intended to be taken
too seriously because the Auburn post of­fice
may get congested with outgoing mail,
but only to refresh in our minds the fact
that by indulging in sins, cribbing in­cluded,
we cast a shameful reflection up­on
our dear mother and father who have
sacrificed so much for us. Certainly no
one cares to do. this and maybe this will
be food for a thought.

While wandering about the campus in
search of proof of the popular theory that
we are decended from monkeys, the oc­casional
sight of a Rat cap brings to our
mind the Whole subject of evolution. Are
we what we are because we are that ,or
are we what we are because we used to
be something else.. Tis a deep and momen-tus
question, as all can see. But the Rat
is not so deep and we can present evi­dence
that, in that line, at least, there is
evolution. Witness this excerpt from the
McGill Daily:
COLLEGE LIFE IN THE LAST CEN­TURY
TAME
The hairless visage of the puny fresh­man
would show great astonishment if the
class of '49 should rise out of their graves
and confront him. In those days, the col­legian
was a man of middle age, usually
married and in possession of a good old
Victorian family. Our professors today
still call worldly youths of the sopho­more
class "college men."
With all their years, however, they did
not enjoy the personal liberty of present
day scholars. They lived inside of the
college and the strictest discipline was
enforced by the vice principal. As punish­ment,
both fine and confinements were
used. Except for a conservative restriction
placed on these punishments, the students
were at the mercy of their professors.
They could not come into the college after
ten o'clock at night and if they remained
outside very strict measures were taken.
Their dress had to be sober and neat,
without any superficial adornments. It
is quite possible that the geometric sweat­ers
of brilliant hue, and the multi-coloured
socks seen on the campus today, are re­volts
against this rule, and like most re­volts
have carried themselves so far that
they have reached the absurd.
Mother's pet, who protests against the
unfair and embarrassing initiation at Mc­Gill,
would be surprised to hear that in
the rush of '40 freshmen were expected
to entertain the whole college by giving
them a supper. These suppers were very
simple and consisted mainly of beer and
biscuits. They entertained themselves by
telling stories and as beer was inexpen­sive
a good time was had by all. The ela­borate
and expensive banquets given by
the freshmen of '29 are not enjoyed as
much as those simple feasts.
It is really strange how things can
change in so short a time. Now take Red
Roberts for instance. It used to be so
that you could always find the center of
attraction, among a bunch of boys, would
be Red. WeTiave to take into considera­tion
the fact that things change with time,
however. The foot ball season came
along Red was our cheer leader and the
results is a sweater with one of those
things that delights the feminine eye, an
orange "A" Red's audiences have changed
and instead of a "group of rough boys"
gathered around him, he can only be seen
trying to fight loose from a bunch of
femmes. Something must be done to res­cue
Red before it is too late.
An upper classman standing on Toomer's
Corner the other day, caused quite a bit
of excitement among the Rats, when they
saw him making notations. We wonder
if this could be the "Vig" committee on
the war path once more.

It will not be long before AuburV^will
be equipped with one of the best Fire
Departments in the State. This week
two water tanks were put on and one of
the front tires was pumped up. All this
new work was done on Fire Truck No. 1.
Massaging lame backs, escorting min­isters'
daughters to dances, and furnish­ing
blood for transfusion were among the
student occupations listed by those who
are working their way through Brown
University.
Pomona College in California has adopt­ed
a group-college plan, similar to that
of Oxford and Cambridge in England.
It hopes in this way to make it possible
for college students to have all advan­tages
of attendance at a large institution
and at the same time all the personal
benefits of life in a small college.
One large library and one large athele-tic
field will serve all colleges in the
group. Certain courses will be open to
students of all groups. But students will
live in the college in which they enrolled
and' will have all their college life in it.

Plainsmen Drop
Two To Tulune
Greenies Nose Out Tigers In First
But Win Second Handily
'•-..
The Auburn Tigers finished on
^he short end of the fourth consecu­tive
time when they dropped a pair
of contest to the Tulane Greenies
in New Orleans Friday and Saturday.
The first game went by a score of
33 to 30 while the second affair was
di;opped by a margin of 52 to 31
in favor of the Greenies.
Fouls and more fouls were respon­sible
for the first loss. The Tigers
actually chunked a dozen through
the netting while the Tulaners were
tossing 9. However, in the second
half the Plainsmen weer waging such
a rumpus to climb atop of the lead­ing
Tulaners that the Papkes were
quite fond of fighting the green
jersied bunch, and as a result the
Crescent Citians did not fail to toss
in the free offerings. In fact they
liked it so well that no member of
the squad declined the signal honor
of sinking at least a pair of attempts
accept the renowned "Peggy" Flour-r.
ey who failed to sink any of the do­nations.
Wilson in four of the free
chunks while Mason, Hennican, and
Brown, sank a trio each.
The New Orleans crowd assumed
the lead early in the game and held
on doggedly throughout the first
half, the end of the half finding the
Greenies enjoying a 16 to 12 ad­vantage.
The Tigers came back in
the second half and began to give
a real exhibition of basketball by
penetrating the opposing basket for
enough points to take the lead soon
after the whistle. However, they let
their anxiousness run away with
their good sense and fouled enough
of the Greenies to enable, the Cres-cent
Citians to more than match them
point for point in the tallying game.
The second game played Saturday
evening was not so close as the first,
the Greenies winning the contest by a
majority of more than 20 points. The
Greenies jumped into the lead soon
after the start and were never in
danger of being overhauled. At the
close of the first half the score
stood 30 to 23 in favor of the
Greenies. Several times did the Ti­gers
pull themselves together in an
effort to overtake the fast tallying
New Orleanians but their brief spurts
always ended before hardly a dent
could be made in the long lead of
the opposition.
Mason, a new comer in the Green-ie's
lineup was the individual star of
the game. Mason showed ability to
toss the oval into the basket from
all angles, his proficiency in this
line being responsible for 8 of the
field goals that went into Tiger bas­ket.
Wilson, Henican, and Morgan
also strutted their stuff by each
chunking four through the netting,
while Flournoy got three.
For the Tigers captain Bill Mc-
Kinney played his usual good game,
caging seven attempts from the field.
Back Ellis also showed a good eye
for the basket.
First Game (Friday)
Mobile 't Trims
Tigers Last Week
The Tigers dropped the first
game of the road trip southward,
v-hen they were met and defeated by
the fast Mobile Y outfit in the Gulf
City. Score Mobile 19, Auburn 17.
The game waxed fast and furious,
es-pecially toward the latter stages
when the competition began to grow
keener. The Plainsmen were ham­pered
somewhat by the small court
and by the fact that the baskets were
built against the wall so as not to
allow a certain freedom of move­ment
while under the netting.
The contest was rather slow at the
start with neither side exhibiting any
marked tendency to find the hoops.
The Plainsmen gradually helped
themselves to a small margin of
points and at the close of the first
half found themselves on the long
end of a 12 to 6 score.
With the opening of the second
portion of the game the Mobilians
began a strong offence and the lead
accumulated by the Tigers began
to dwindle like money in an oil stock
investment. At one time during the
last half the Tigers still held to a
lead of 15 to 10, but as the minutes
began to wane the Gulf Citians
tacked on enough extra points to
grab the decision by one field goal.
Hall of the Tigers was the out­standing
performer of the floor.
"Kangaroo Buck" Ellis was another
Tiger to show to good advantage.
Both men played a good floor game.

Cadets Lead for First Half But
Game Ends 20-17 in Favor
Tiger Rodents
In a hard fought contest that was
closely waged throughout, the Au­burn
Freshmen defeated the Cadets
of Marion Institute at the gymnasi­um
Saturday evening.
Aided by the all around good work
of Mullins and Booth, the Brownies
and were headed but once through-assumed
the lead from the start,
always kept within close range of
out the contest, though the Cadets
tieing the count. The first half
ended with the rodents on the small
end of a 10 to 9 score.
Soon after the second half got:
underway Mullins and Howell be-1
gan to sink enough field goals andj
foul shots to give the Tigers a
goodly advantage which they main-!
tained to the end.
Mullins and Booth were the lead-]
ing performers for the rodents,
while Howell played a nice floor
game. Henderson and King did the
best work for the Cadets.
The lineup.
It is expected that some of the
best prep school talent in the South­land
will be represented here this
month when the Cotton States Tour­nament
gets underway. Plans for
this, the fifth annual such event are
getting underway rapidly, and it is
expected that the coming event will
surpass any previous one which has
been held in the Village.
The records of many of the pros­pective
tournament teams are now
being brought to light and each
section will send one of its leading
representatives into the fray.

the respective class line ups are
subject to considerable change every
year. The present seniors had the
honor of getting the verdict last year

sent trip they are to play four con­ference
games in a five-day period,
which is quite a nifty chunk to
tackle in view of the fact that they
will be galavanting all over a quartet
of states to do it.
After winning the first four games
on the schedule the Tigers proceed­ed
to drop the next four by the way­side,
there-by making it an even
brake for the season so far. To date
victories are recorded over Birming­ham
- Southern and Georgia Tech,
while Howard has been humbled
twice. The Tigers started their losing
streak when they tackled the fast
B. A. C. outfit in Birmingham af-ter
enjoying a long layoff due to
exams.
While in the Gulf City where
they met the local Y. M. C. A., the
squad again met defeat. The mar­gin
of defeat was very slight, how­ever,
and the Tigers were handicap­ped
by playing on a very small court.
Over in New Orleans the following
evening the Bengals dropped a heart-
0, breaker to the Tulane five. The next
1: day the Greenies sewed things up
Ojin the earlier stages of the contest
O^and left no doubt as to who the
tacked on.
The games that the McKinneys
will play during the five day road
period are all of the conference var­iety,
and it is for this reason, if for
no other, that the Plainsmen are
anxious to make a good record. Play­ing
a quartet of games while jump­ing
around between contests is no
cinch job for any team.
The first part of call for the Ti­gers
is Athens, at which town they
are due to meet the strong Georgia
clan Thursday evening. It is plan­ned
that the squad should arrive in
the Georgia City in time to see the
Bulldog outfit swing into action
against the Atlanta Athletic Club
which boasts of another good aggre­gation
this year.
Georgia seems this year to have
one of its usual teams. The Bull­dogs
slipped up during the first of
the year and permitted the Techst-ers
to register a victory over them,
but the Athenians came back last
Saturday to trim their ancient foe-men
by a close score.

of the play "Duley" which is to
be given this spring.
The try-outs for the play were
held during the meeting but the
i cast has not been fully selected as
yet. All members of the club are
eligible for parts in the play and
if they desire to try out must see
Mr. Hamilton within the next few
days.
A discussion of the road trip which
is to be taken by the cast of the
play "Your'e Next," preceded the
tryr-outs. The cast is to leave about
February the twenty-second and is
to present the play at eight or ten
places including Andalusia, Brewton
and other towns and cities along this
route.

J. B. Stewart discussed the "pre­sent

I. S. Johnson in his usual touching
manner delivered an "Ode to the
Cow". Prof. W. E. Sewell, an old Au­burn

HONOR SYSTEM AT
WASHINGTON & LEE
i
Nestled among the Blue Ridge
Mountains of the state of Virginia
in the southern extreme of the She­nandoah
Valley is a j little college
town, Lexington. It is a place noted
not merely for its history, but it is
the seat of V. M. I., "The West Point
of the South," and Washington and
Lee University, "The Nursery of
American Leadership."
Every college has its aims and
ideals. Washington and Lee is rich
in its history, its traditions, and its
customs. Manhood made the Univer­sity,
such manhood as is symbolical
of Generals George Washington and
Robert Edward Lee. Such manhood
made it thrive and fixed it perman­ently
as one of the greatest educa­tional
institutions of all time.
Manhood as typefied by the foun­ders,
the faculties, and the student
bodies of Washington and Lee," means
right is might, truth is a virtue to
uphold, honorable convictions are
things to fight for, and HONOR is
the keyword to success in all walks
of life.
The first thing a W. and L. man
will tell one about is his horor system.
He has a right to praise it. It is
something wonderful and it is sacred
to every man who ever attended
Washington and Lee. The daily pa­pers
from Maine to California have
praised it. The system in itself is
not complex. The students merely
sign a pledge on all written "quizes"
stating, that they have neither given
nor received help. There are no
committees of three from each class
to enforce honor and in fact there
is no need of such. There is an
honor committee whose duty it is
tc try the few cases coming before
it. When a man is found guilty he
has severed his connections with his
college for all time.
The "Honor-Store" at Washington
and Lee is a room about twenty by
fifty feet, situated in the main aca­demic
building. It contains station­ary,
toilet articles, and confection-aries.
Money boxes containing
change are sitting at different places
on the counters. The student waits
upon himself and makes his own
change. The honor store has been
a source of income for "The Gen­erals"
for years, and it demonstra­tes
real honor. Men support it, not
weaklings ! !
The writer is a former Washing­ton
and Lee man but Auburn is his
lma Mater. There are several
former W. and L. men on the campus
whose delight it is to tell you of W.
and L. honor. The honor system at
Auburn is in its infancy. It should
be fostered with care and supported
by every student and every faculty

The normal .group met Monday
night in the Y. M. C. A. assembly
hall. Rev. Holmes led the discus­sion
which was "how shall we meet
the time of testing." There were only
a few of the many discussion groups
that had representatives present.
It is hojjed that every lieutenant
will organize a discussion group this
semester, and will not only organize
one but do some real work. There,
are to be eight discussion groups this
semester. The last one will be on
March 22.
The following subjects will be dis­cussed
this semester:
How shall we meet the time of
testing? February 1.
How shall we choose our life work?
February 15.
Is Campus Popularity worth
seeking? February 8,
Blue Ridge. February 22.
How can one be sure of Jesus?,
March 1.
What is prayer?, March 8.
How is a christian student differ­ent?
March 15.
How can group life be made Chris­tian?,
March 22.
There will be a contest on this
semester, and the group that makes
the highest grade will be given free
tickets to a big banquet to be given
at the close of the discussion groups
in March of this semester.
member. The students must think
more seriously, of their individual
honor. The faculty members are
cooperating, but springing a quiz has
a dangerous tendency, and at all col­leges
possessing a working honor
system the quizes are written upon
the board and the Instructor leaves
the room until the next class.
Serious thinking, cooperation of
everyone connected with Auburn
and the pride with which men hold
their honor, are three essential fac­tors
which will determine whether
or not. any honor system, however
simple, can long endure.

WILDER TALKS ON
NEW RADIO STATION
Several good talks featured the re­gular
weekly program of the .A. I.
E. E. last Wednesday. The feature
of the evening was given by J. M.
Wilder, on the intricacies of the new
radio station WAPI. He gave us a
plenty of first hand, information
about his "pet," as he has been the
driving power of the new project.
Other talks were made by Redus
Collier, on the recent merger of the
two largest power companies in the
South, the Alabama Power Company
and the Georgia Railway "Light and
Power Company. W. L. Garlington
also gave a short outline of the ad­vantages
of aerial photography in
planning power transmission lines.
W. H. H. Putnam made a short talk
or. the longest span of electric trans­mission
in the world, which is 6241
feet in length. The variety of the
meeting is due to the energy of our
new vice chairman, J. M. Edwards,
who is on the jump all the time fcr
good snappy programs. Come out
and see. for yourself.

The fact that the 1926 Glomerata
is taking on proportions is evidenced
by the work being done in the An­nual
office. Arrangements are be­ing
made to have all the material in
the hands of the printers and en­gravers
before March 15. All pic­tures
and copy for the publication
must be in the hands of the staff
before Feb. 15, in order to get the
material to the printers in time to
have the book come out before com­mencement.
Should the work go on
uninterrupted the books will be de­livered
about the first of May.
A representative from White's Stu­dio
was here Monday and Tuesday

EVOLUTION IS SUBJECT
OF TALK AT CONVOCATION
(Continued from Page, 1)
Every thing that does not obey the
laws of nature dies and all things
must advance one way or the oth­er.
Evolution is the fundamental
law of the universe which compre­hends
death as well as birth. Darwins
idea of the descent of man is purely
a theory and he does npt suggest
that man sprung from the apes by
any means. He suggested that there
was a possibility that man and ape
had a common ancestory in the ages
gone by, and that man evoluted for­ward
and the ape backward. No
honest teacher will ask a student to
accept this theory, but only to con­sider
it in a broadminded manner.
Unless we want to strangle research
our faces must be set against any
thing that attempts to bar theory,
and before the laws are passed let
us remember that if a theory is
wrong it will soon be discredited. The
state of Alabama is making strides
toward furthering research by not
having a Evolution Law.

Meter School Gets
Praise By Expert!
' • ' •
The recent Meter School held at
Auburn has received favorable com-1
ment from the Memphis Power and
Light Company, of Memphis, Tenn.
A letter was written to Professor
Dunstan stating resolutions adopted
by the Southeastern Section National
Electric Light Association. The let­ter
and resolutions are quoted in
part below:
At our Meter Committee meeting
held in Auburn a resolution was
unanimously adopted in regard to
the meter course which j)(ou held.
It is a pleasure to me to communi­cate
this resolution to you which is
as follows:
Whereas, the meter school has
now been jn session for a period
sufficiently long enough for us to
see the results will be all that could
be desired; in other words, it is evi­dent
that good work is being done;
therefore, be it resolved by the me­ter
committee of the Southeastern
Section National Electric Light As­sociation
that we extend these gen­tle
men our sincere appreciation of
their work, well done, and request
them to plan to hold the school again
next year and be it further resolved
that the chairman write to Prof.
Dunstan conveying this resolution to
him and through him to the members
of his staff who have been instru­mental
in making the school a suc­cess.

Both in numbers and value there
has been a very marked decrease in
cattle and hogs since 1920 accord­ing
to a report just issued by F.
W. Gist, agricultural statistician, fol­lowing
the annual livestock report
of the United States department of
Agriculture. The decrease in hogs
has been heavier than in cattle, the
latter including milk cows which have
more nearly held their own than
have cattle of beef types. The num­ber
of all cattle on Alabama farms
on January' 1, 1926 was 70.8 per
cent of those found by the' census
of 1920 while the number of hogs
on farms the first of this year was
only 51.9 per cent of those found
six years ago. Apparently this trend
downward has been . somewhat con­tinuous
since 1920, and seems now
to have been arrested by recent
higher prices of both cattle and
hogs. Alabama lost 101,000 cattle
during the last year and during the
same period lost 69,000 hogs. The
trend in hog numbers seems to have
scmewhat abated in certain portions
of the state, a slight increase in the
number on farms in the southeast
district having occurred in the past
twelve months.
The aggregate value of farm ani­mals
on January 1, of this year is
slightly greater than a year ago but
is only about one half the aggregate
in 1920.
Horses have decreased in number
since 1920 and also in the past year,
while mules show a somewhat steady
but very slight increase for the past
six years. This apparently is due to
the general replacement of horses by
mules for farm work purposes in all
sections of the state.
Poultry is found in slightly greater
number than in 1920 though the
number on farms is about 40,000
less than a year ago.
The values of livestock and live­stock
products moved into consump-past

The value of the animals, sold and
slaughtered is about the same for
both the preceding years, but milk
and eggs have brought a large
money return. In the case of milk
the cows on Alabama farms have
produced less in volume, because
there was a fewer number of cows
giving milk. The average amount
of milk per cow for the two years .
has been about 1.54 gallons per day!

of cows milked has been about 55
