Glomerata for 1942
Being Distributed
Book "Exposes" Auburn Spirit at Work
And at Play; New Treatment of Material
By JOHN SCOTT, JR.
The "Glomerata" for 1942 put in its appearance yesterday,
and now The Plainsman staff will have to find someone else
to heckle. Joe Meadows, editor-in-chief of the annual for this
year, kept claiming that it would come out before July first,
and he wins—it did!
The issuing of the books started yesterday, and will continue
through today, at the four windows of the "Glomerata"
office down in the old power plant building. The long lines of
students winding from the windows
back up onto the main
campus were the patient waiters,
trying to explain that they had
been in school last semester and
were entitled to their books without
paying half the price in cash.
About 2,100 of them were successful
and took away that number
of annuals yesterday.
The book this year is definitely
a praise-provoker. Praise for
Joe Meadows and his editorial
staff; praise for Sammy Nettles
and his business staff; and praise
for everybody else concerned
with it in any way. The book is
new—it has new treatment of the
administration, new quality in the
color pictures, new life in the
snap-shot captions, and an eyecatching
cover that is f new in
color and idea.
The idea of the book is an expose
of what happens around here
during the year. That idea is
developed by exposing the "ole
Auburn Spirit" in worktime and
playtime. With eye£ wide open
after looking at the cover, the
reader of the "Meadow's Special"
runs head on into a section of
informal pictures that shows how
the "Auburn Spirit" affects some
of the boys and girls, some of
the time. Strung through this
sequence of candids is the line of
writing that tells what the "Glomerata"
is going to unfold for the
readers; and then, following the
first of half-a-dozen full color
pictures, the unfolding gets underway.
After the usual pages devoted
to the trustees, the Governor,
and the president, the administration
section opens. This year the
administration and the campus
views are run together—a page of
each facing a page of the other.
Then in quick succession come
the Memoriam page, the Student
Activity section with the various
councils, staffs, and cabinets, and
the Military section. Behind these
lies the Student Life section,
those many and varied snapshots
showing what the students
look like when they aren't posing.
After looking at this section
you are supposed to know just
what goes on around the campus,
unless you were too busy admiring
the new treatment of the
paper. And so the sections flick
past in quick succession, and we
look for our picture in the class
pages and in the various societies
we belong to.
Then after admiring the beauties
and favorites, complaining
about a choice or two, recalling
the whole football season from
the snaps of the games, the first
run-through is finished and we're
ready to nose around more lei
surely. After all, it's our "Glomerata"
and there's a whole year
to look at it. It's good, so congratulations
to Meadows, Sam
Nettles, and staff.
ROTC Corps
Parades For
Inspectors
Visiting Officers
Inspect Classes,
Review Corps
The seniors of the 1942 graduating
class had their last chance
yesterday to view an Inspection
Parade when it was held on Bul-lard
Field for the inspecting officers
visiting the Corps. The review
began shortly after 3:00
o'clock and the Corps was dismissed
about 4:00 o'clock.
After a day of inspecting classes
and units of the Auburn ROTC
Unit, the two visiting officers had
an opportunity to see the entire
Cadet Corps in action. Major
Stanley Addis from Marion Military
Institute is inspecting the
Field Artillery and Major Joseph
Earle from the University of Tennessee
is inspecting the Engineers.
The entire Cadet Corps passed
in review, including the Freshman
Drill Platoon, the Mounted
Battery and the Motorized Battery
and the regular dismounted
batteries and companies.
The inspection of the ROTC
units will continue through tomorrow.
It will be some time before
the Military Department will
be ready to announce the decision
of the two officers acting as
judges.
Open Badminton
Tourney Winner Is

The Auburn Open Badminton
Tournament was run off last
night in Alumni Gym. There were
19 entries in the tourney and anyone,
students and faculty members,
was eligible to enter.
Professor Lawrence Barnett,
acclaimed as the best badminton
player in these parts, walked
away with the play in winning
two straight games in the finals
from Mays Montgomery.
All of the contests were two-out-
of-three-games affairs.

Bill Moore Expresses
Cabinet's Thanks To
Rationing Registrars
The following letter, written by
Executive Cabinet President Bill
Moore, was received yesterday by
The Plainsman:
"During Wednesday and Thursday
of last week we distributed
about three thousand Ration
Cards for sugar.
"I would like to take this means
of expressing the thanks of the
Executive Cabinet for the splendid
help of all concerned. I would
like especially to thank those
students who gave two full days
of their time to serve as registrars
and also those who registered
fraternity members and the women
students who registered dormitory
residents.
"Incidentally a few registrars
have not returned their application
blanks. It is imperative that
these be submitted immediately.
"Sincerely, Bill Moore."
Picture Taking
Time for 1943
Glomerata Begins
In answer to a number of inquiries
today, t h e "Glomerata"
office announced that all persons
in school during the summer
quarter must have their pictures
for the 1943 annual taken at the
time scheduled on their slips.
These slips, with the hour and
date on them, were issued to the
students with their this year's
"Glomerata" at the office today
and yesterday.
If, however, the student who
received such a slip is not going
to attend the summer quarter,
there is nothing to worry about.
There will be two weeks of picture
taking this June for the
summer enrollees, and another
week of photographing next
September to get those not in
school in June.
Those planning on attending
the summer quarter are urged
to keep the notices so that they
may have their pictures taken
when scheduled. The "Glomerata"
cannot send out the usual postcards
to notify each student of
the time of his appointment, because
there will be no way of
knowing the various new addresses
for those who will move
to new quarters for the, summer
term. The notice given out yesterday
will be the only personal
notidtejhat-& student will receive
of his appointment for being
photographed.

Army Training of Today—Most Modern
(Editor's note: Recently our President,
Dr. Duncan, received a letter from one
Warren A. Seavey, of the Harvard Law
School. Mr. Seavey enclosed a report
which he entitled "Army Training of Today"
. . . the results of a trip he took for
the "purpose of learning whether Army
training was adequate and whether college
men have a reasonable chance of becoming
officers." The full report was too
long for re-printing here, but the following
excerpts are from that report.)
By Warren A. Seavey
Harvard Law School
Last fall there were disturbing rumors
that the Army was bungling its job of converting
civilians into soldiers, that the officers
might know how to lead troops but
they did not know how to teach and train
them, that the boys in the camps were
wasting their time. These rumors were
credible to me because of stray bits of, information
which ~came»to me. Presuming
upon my professional status, I made complaint
in high places and shouted that
something ought to be done. I was told to
get some first hand information and was
given permission to do so. As a result I
spent 10 days in representative camps.
I am glad beyond expression to confess
that I was wrong. I take this opportunity to
describe conditions as I found them and
to give credit where credit is due.
The Army faces an almost superhuman
task of education. From millions of clerks,
butchers, bakers, lawyers, students, farmers,
with no taste or training for Army life
it must create a disciplined and effective
striking force capable of matching man for
man the seasoned divisions of the Axis.
These men must become physically hard
and mentally tough. They must master the
use of intricate weapons and machines;
then they must become expert in the complex
tactics required by their use. And the
job must be done at double speed, for the
war can be lost by delay.
First, with reference to the training of
enlisted men: The Army is making the
transition from civilians into soldiers as
painless as possible without loss of discipline.
It has learned that those entering
the Army en masse cannot be handled
as could the peacetime recruit who -entered
ibfica-K He liked "soldiering." It allows
as far as possible the individual to express
his preference not only for a particular
branch of the service but also for a particular
kind of work. It takes full advantage
of special capabilities and desires.
The Army further individualizes by putting
men of like attainments in the same
class. Thus by the use of aptitude tests
and experience charts it avoids putting a
highly intelligent or experienced man in
a class in which he would be bored because
of the presence of those who are
slower to learn, who themselves would be
discouraged by the impossible competition.
Provision is made both for the hare
and for the tortoise.
^ With the desire to take advantage of individual
capacities, the new Army has also
developed ideas of pedagogy far removed
from the old days when lectures and pamphlets
were to be memorized verbatim under
the belief that if one could reproduce
the phrases he would understand the
theories propounded. Instead of this, every
effort is made to humanize the instruction
and every aid is supplied to make it understandable.
Instructors are warned not
to read their lectures. The use of humor
in driving home a point is no longer an
unforgivable sin; discussion is stimulated;
the men are encouraged to "develop new
ideas and are not frowned upon for suggesting
that there may be better solution
than that given in the textbooks.
Now As To Officer Training
First is the problem of officer selection.
The Army has become convinced that in
most cases it is desirable that a man should
be in the ranks before becoming an officer
and with this I agree. The initial minimum
period of three months is well spent in
learning basic matters, military discipline,
the use of weapons, camp sanitation, Army
organization, and in going through the
hardening process. The neophyte gets the
point of view of the men in the ranks,
learns to know their difficulties and the
way in which they respond to their officers.
This is highly important information
which can be obtained only by being
one of the group.
One who enlists or is-drafted as a private
can be reasonably sure that if he wishes
to be an officer and is of officer calibre, he
will be given his opportunity. At Camp
Croft, I became convinced that the most
careful attention is given to the selection
of candidates for officer training. The possibility
of favoritism by a unit commander
is kept at a minimum by. a board which
considers applications and which, having
selected from the applicants those whose
training, experience and tests indicate that
they have possibilities for leadership, give
them an opportunity to show what they
can do in instructing and in commanding.
It so happens that a large percentage of
the men selected are those who have had
college work. This is not because of a prejudice
in favor of college men; it is because
by and large college men have acquired
both the capacity for learning hew things.
and for the leadership which is essential
for civilians who would be officers.
Men showing promise of being acceptable
officers are sent as candidates to an
officer's training school.
The program of instruction : to officer
candidates is as broad as the problems of
commanding an army. We all understand
that the success of the officers in teaching
marksmanship is of the utmost imporU-ance.
We may not realize that the ability
to interpret maps a n d airplane photographs
may be vital, as it was when a misread
map in the last war nearly caused
the Lost Battalion.to be wiped out by our
own artillery. We might forget that instruction
in sanitation is of great importance
did we not remember that in the
Spanish war the casualties by disease were
far greater than those from the enemy.
Learning to condition tanks may seem
a pedestrian occupation if we do not realize
that Rommel's ability to keep alive
on the Libyan desert was largely due to.
the success of his technicians in repairing
disabled tanks. That the entire program
of training in subjects entirely foreign to
the younger officers is being conducted
successfully in a minimum of time is a
great tribute to the forward looking men
who, 20 years ago, began to remodel Army
education.
One final word. Pearl Harbor f a i l ed
to solve many things, but one thing it did
was to clear up any doubts about morale
in Army camps. Whatever disappointment
and lethargy may have permeated the selectees
before December 7th has now been
displaced by an eargerness to get the period
of preparation over, to get it done right
and to come to grips with the enemy.

The Year in Review
There will be only three more issues of !The Plainsman this
semester.-On June 8, editor-elect George Heard takes over, and the
first full-year Plainsman publication will begin.
So it's- about time we took our usual look back over the events of
the year in Auburn. We should, perhaps, wait until'the last issue to
do that, but you know about. what'll happen between now and then.
The odds are a hundred to one that Plainsman issues during this week
and next will carry nothing more startling than a list of graduating
seniors, the program of graduation and baccalaureate exercises, the"
results of Federal Inspection, plans for Competitive Drill and the
senior graduation parade, the announcements of elections of officers
in a few more frats and honor societies, and such stuff.
So let's look back now, while we've time.
The Year Began in September ...
with the first issue of The Plainsman on September 16, after,a
two-weeks postponement of school because of Old Man Polio . . .
over one thousand freshmen, and one thousand coeds reportedly
registered that first week . . . a new high in coeds . . . forty-seven new
faculty members were listed . . . there'll be more than that this year,
we bet . . . at least eight or nine more . . . ROTC appointments were
made on September 18, and twenty-seven Cadet Captains were named,
along with a hundred or two Second Lieutenants . . .sorority and
fraternity rushing progressed rapidly, with the SAE's leading the frats
with almost one-tenth of the entire pledge class buttoned . . . the
'fl'fst'Pep Rally opened the season on Tuesday night, September 23,
in the stadium—beginning stadium rallies and re-beginning night
rallies . . . the next day tickets for the first game went on sale . . .
The Traveling Tigers met and downed Howard College that Friday
night in Cramton Bowl, with a 13 to nothing victory . . .

There was one hazard, worse
than all the rest, that we forgot
'to mention in our initial golf experiences.
That's competition with
' a feller about your speed who is
broad-minded about his own
course rules and score-keeping
and narrow-minded as (censored)
about yours.

You're under a mental strain
all of the time, and you need an
adding machine to keep both
scores straight.

A lad we know can top his
drive, slice into the woods and
make sounds like killing shaix,
finally get out, muff his approach,
three-putt, and take a par five.
We just can't understand that.

He can explain more swings as
"practice swings" (I wasn't really
trying to hit the ball, you
know) than a trapeze performer.
If his putts don't sink, he takes
them over, saying, "I rushed myself
on that one."
* * *
He doesn't bother to count his
hole-by-hole score. He estimates.
* * *
His drives always "happen to
land" on wooden tees in the
fairways and grass tufts in the
rough.
* * *
There's a local rule allowing
you to drop the ball over your
shoulder if you're in an impossible
lie in the rough. He can
"drop" it for a good 200 yards,
and if he missed the green, he
uses the winter rule fairway1'
privilege ,of improving your lie
without approaching the green
any nearer. That is, he uses all
of this rule except that part about
approaching the green.
* * *
His hand mashie is his best
club, and he can kick a ball with
the best of them.
» * *
He instructs his caddy in the
same slimy bag of tricks. And it's
sf job watching both of them.
* * *
He doesn't count lost balls a
penalty stroke per, that is, his
own. He does yours. He .says the
loss of the ball is penalty enough
for himself. He can't see both
sides of this question.
* * *
Balls in ditches are not balls
in ditches to him, unless they are ,
under water. Then and then only
will he count a stroke for removing
said pellet. Otherwise, it's
just "in the rough," and a toss
over the shoulder fixes that.
* * *
Green rules allow you to move
your ball two feet in from the
edge of the green. He translates
this as "two steps" for his personal
use. * * *
And his steps are more like
broad jumps.
* » *
He scores per hole two strokes
less than you've counted for him,
and blows up if you even suggest
that he's made a mistake.
As far as that goes, he's right.
That wasn't any mistake.
* * *
He doesn't count out-of-bounds
balls, misses, or balls which hit
a tree. "Why should I?" he asks.
"They don't get me anywhere!"
* * *
Brother, you aint lyin!
* * *
. He also accuses you of the same
practices. His totals of your score
somehow match your totals of
his.
And he frowns something fierce
if you even suggest that your
four-foot putt really is a "gimme."
* * *
.The 1931 Plainsman said it
didn't doubt that Auburn girls
were reared right. . . but it would
withold judgment until they were
seen from the front!"
* * *
Karrie, the Kampus Kutest
Koed, concerning that ruling
about girls not being allowed to
spend the night in fraternity
houses, suggests, "Why don't you
boys pass one forbidding boys to
sleep in the dormitories?"

Editor's note: The opinions expressed
in. tml column are those of the writer
and are not to be construed as the editorial
poUcles of this paper.
Sea Battle
The reported sinking of 11 enemy
ships and the damage of six
additional vessels in a battle in
the Coral Sea has made Australia
feel comparatively free from a
Japanese invasion.
This was good news to anxious
Americans and the report from
General MacArthur that damage
to American craft.was "relatively-slight"
further helped to boost
American morale.
The credit of the success of that
battle must go to the reconnaissance
scouts who undoubtedly
told our navy of the forces they
were about to attack. It is believed
that the armada of sunken
Japanese ships was part of a convoy
taking forces to New Caledonia
and New Hebrides. These
two islands play an important
part in keeping open the lines of
supplies to Australia.
This great sea battle clearly
points out one fact: that our fighting
forces are out to win this war.
Those fighting forces that were •
based at Pearl Harbor were out
to meet the enemy and engage
him in battle.
That battle was the one event
that. our fleet had anxiously
awaited since December 7. The
results of that fight will tell us
how strong the Japanese navy'
is and how well prepared she is
to carry on.
Our reported successes in the
Battle of Coral Sea indicate that
American production, and capacity
for production, are coming
into their own. Our fighting men
in-.the numerous shipyards have
produced, and are producing, the
ships that will win this war.
It is quite evident that Japan .
was trying to isolate the island
of Australia. Some experts believe
that it was Japan's plan not
to attack Australia, but force her
to remain on the sidelines and out
of the actual fight.
It Australia were to be isolated,
we would have to run a Japanese
blockade in order to take supplies
to the Aussies, and we would
again have to run this blockade
if we attempted to launch an offensive
from that island.
Fortifications of the islands of
New Caledonia and New Hebrides
would seem to point out that the
Japanese do not intend to strike
at Australia. Japan would much
rather have Australia tied up on
the sidelines, so that she could
finish her campaigns against the
Chinese and the Indians.
In The U. S. A.
It was announced by the Office
of Price Administration that nonessential
automobiles in certain
Eastern Seaboard States would be
restricted to three gallons of gasoline
per week. This step was taken
because of the shortage of
gasoline in those states and be-
' cause of the difficulty in transporting
it into those states.
Another reason for the rationing
of gasoline was to keep transportation
lanes open to those who
had to travel, and to cut down on
civilian driving.
Mr. American Public was wondering
this week how long his
automobile tires would hold out.
Government officials could not
tell when replacements could be
secured, and these officials advised
the civilians not to use their
cars any more than was absolutely
necessary..
Pleasure riding was discouraged,
and it was advised that all
men in the same neighborhoods
who work in the same districts
should plan to ride together and
share their cars. They should take
turns in the use of individual cars,
and thereby save the tires on- the
other cars.
Secretary Morgenthau says that
present income tax exemptions
should be lowered, so that we can
pay for this war as we go along.
New income tax bills are being
presented to congress, but none
of the new ones have been accepted.
The latest proposal would
increase the present income tax
by a very small per cent.
All government officials request
the American public to buy
war bonds each pay day. By buying
war bonds you will be rendering
a patriotic duty to your country,
and you will be putting away
a nest egg for the future. BUY
WAR BONDS AND STAMPS.

Admission for Last
"A" Club Dance
The "A" Club presented the
last scheduled dance of the year
Saturday night in Alumni Gymnasium.
The dance was informal, according
to the custom of all "A"
Club affairs.
It wasn't such a customary
dance, though, because of the admission
price.
Boys with dates were charged
one cent for each inch of the
circumference of the waists of
their dates. And those who didn't
have dates paid by the inch of
their own waistline.
There was an "A" Club no-break

NAVY BLUES
The Navy Needs You
Last week a boy called to see about getting in the Navy. While
we are not in the recruiting business, we listen and try to be helpful.
This youngster, speaking to one of our chief petty officers, stated
that he was not interested in joining the Navy as an apprentice
seaman at $21 per month. Such a statement to a chief petty officer
of the Navy is about the same thing as waving a red flag in close
proximity to the horns Of an irrate bull. Today in the Navy we have
thousands of men, some with dependents, who felt it was worth
their while to serve their country without any mercenary motive.
Some of these men have college degrees and may or-may not try
for and be recommended for a commission, when they learn what
the Navy is. all about. We understand that the Navy needs officers,
but it takes good men to lead the high type of enlisted man we have
in the Navy. A college degree is just one of the qualifications. A man
must be above the average in intelligence, leadership, sobriety,
neatness, and have natural ability, either in one of the professions
or technical sciences, or in the organization and handling, of men.
If you have all these qualifications, after a few years training in
the Navy, you should make a good officer, and the Navy needs you.
Entertainment in Auburn
' In a town peopled with citizens as patriotic and hospitable as
.those of Auburn, one can hardly keep up with all the entertainment
provided for our boys. During the past week, a hard working cast
put on a show for everybody in the amphitheater at Graves Center.
Many citizens called for boys for dinners, parties, and a group of
people took forty boys to a picnic at one of the local parks. In addition
to the adoption of cottages, several leading citizens have taken
two or more boys under their social wing, so to speak, and are
giving them entertainment and the benefit of good home atmosphere.
Such friends are Temembered for life.
A Word to the Wise
We have conclusive evidence that some people are buying liquor
at a nearby city for our boys. While there is no law against a citizen
buying liquor, there is one against selling it in Auburn, and still
another Federal law prohibiting such transactions near an Army
and Navy post. Therefore, some one is making himself liable to fine
and imprisonment, perhaps in a spirit of helpful accommodation. We
have ways of checking these things. A word to the wise should be
sufficient. - i
Forgotten Men
The forgotten men here are our married men. These men not
only have an acute financial problem, they miss a good deal of the
recreation afforded to the single men. Many of them left good jobs
and good homes to serve their country for $21 per month. Regardless
of whether these men volunteered for service in the Navy to miss
being drafted, theirs is a problem, and the Government is now considering
a bill to help with the care of their dependents. In the
meantime, without hurting their feelings by the offer of charity
which they would not accept, there are many things that we might
do for them.
Pi Tau Sigma
Elects Officers
The Alabama Tech Chi chapter
of Pi Tau Sigma, honorary mechanical
engineering fraternity,
elected its new officers at a meeting
held last week.
Membership in Pi Tau Sigma
is based on scholarship, extracurricular
activities, character,
and potentialities as leaders. The
chapter on this campus was
formed in 1940.
President for next year will be
Forney Fuller, from Cullman,
Alabama. Vice-president will be
McMurray Griffith, Sigma Chi
from Birmingham. Burton Peterson
will be the treasurer and
Estes Sherrill will act as recording
secretary. Corresponding Secretary
will be Charles Overby and
their Representative to the Engineers'.
Council will be Pete

GEORGIA TECH DOWNS TIGER
TRACKMEN IN MEET SATURDAY
Squad Finishes Practice This Week For
Annual Southeastern Conference Meet
By JOHN PIERCE
Auburn's trackmen went down to defeat Saturday afternoon
on Grant Field, Atlanta, as Georgia Tech outscored
them, 72% to 53x/3, in taking the top places in eleven of fourteen
events. It was the first Plainsman dual meet loss since
the Auburn-Florida match of 1940 and the first loss to the
Yellowjackets since 1934.
Coach Hutsell's squad this week finishes preparation for
the annual Southeastern Conference Meet to be held at
Legion Field, Birmingham, on
Friday and Saturday.
Ryckeley, Helms Standouts
Ed Ryckeley and Jack Helms
were the top ranking Jacket performers,
counting 20 points together.
Rycheley, a sprinter and
football lineman, took first places
in the 100 and 220-yard dashes.
Helms, also a football player, won
the discus and shot put events.
Topping the Auburn squadmen
were John Ball and Bob Morton,
both with one first and one second
place. Ball, who has been
showing this season in both the
mile and two mile, took the former
in the unusually low time of
4:22.7, seven seconds short of the
conference record of 4:16. He later
took the track in the two-mile
run to finish behind Auburn's Jimmy
Robinson in that event.
Morton, a consistent point winner
since the first 1942 meet, swept
home first in the 220-yard low
hurdles and was second in the
120 highs.
Capt. Jack Brush accounted for
two seconds for the Plainsmen
as he scored in both of the short
dashes behind Ryckeley. Joe
Cordell placed second in the shot
put, Ernie Reed was the runner-up
in the 440, and Jim Seay took
second in the low hurdles and
third in the highs. Counting second
in the 880-yard dash was Earl
Cleghorn, while Herbert Burton
was the number two man in the
broad jump and tied for the same
place in the high jump.
In the subsidiary meet between
the Auburn and Tech frosh the
baby Jackets came out on top by
a score of 8-6. It was the second
frosh loss in two weeks, they
having lost to Florida last Saturday.
Results of the varsity meet:

"We Were Dancing
Is Tiger Theater
Mid-Week Feature
Norma Shearer returns to comedy,
the medium which made her
famous, in "We Were Dancing,"
the Wednesday and Thursday
screen attraction at the Tiger
Theater.
Melvyn -Douglas appears opposite
her, and the supporting cast
was chosen for its ability to make
people laugh. Among the players
are Gail Patrick, Lee Bowman,
Marjorie Main, Reginald Owen,
Alan Mowbray and Florence
Bates, with Robert Z. Leonard
directing.
The picture is based in part on
Noel Coward's Broadway comedy
hit, "Tonight at 8:30," starring
Gertrude Lawrence. MissShearer
scored one of her early triumphs
in Coward's "Private Lives," in
which sh£ also played the role
created by Miss Lawrence.
High Born and Broke
The new role reveals Miss
Shearer as a charming daughter
of noble aristocracy as penniless
as she is beautiful. Douglas is
equally high born ^and just as
broke. They fall in love on sight
and she jilts the rich American
lawyer, played by Bowman,
whose fortune would h a ve
brought her family jewels out of
hock.
The marriage breaks up on the
rocks of adversity, with Bowman
as the happy divorce lawyer about
to marry the pretty grass widow.
But the two meet again under
different circumstances, w i th
Douglas as the artistic decorator
commissioned to arrange the new
home of the lawyer and his bride.
Now that her former husband
has a job, she loves him more than
ever and the man of law takes a
second jolt in the same place.
According to advance descriptions,
the film is one long succession
of laughs.

AUBURN FINAL BATTING AVERAGES, 1942
Tigers Take First
Game, 4-1, Petrels
Second Game, 3-1
Auburn and Oglethorpe University
each wound up its respective
season with two games last
Friday and Saturday. Auburn
won the first of the series behind
Walt Milner's five .hit tossing,
4-1, and Oglethorpe won the second
behind the three hit hurling
of Jim Chastain, 3-1.
On Friday, Walter Milner
pulled down his seventh win of
the year with his brilliant mound
job and closed his second season
of pitching for the Tigers with 7
victories and 1 defeat. Nine hits
were collected by his mates off
Lefty Welbaum.
Clarence Harkins put the home
team out in front in the third
when he clouted a round tripper
with the bases empty. But the
Petrels qame back to tie things
up in the fourth when Billy
Crowell scored on Monsours'
single. The Tigers did not score
again until the seventh when they
pushed across three runs on three
hits, two walks, and an error.
Curlee, Harkins, Cheatham, and
Ferrell led at the plate with two
safeties each. Monsour led the
Petrels at bat with a triple and
a single.
Saturday's game was almost a
reversal of form as Jim Chastain,
backed by a sparkling defensive
club, pitched Oglethorpe to a
3-1 win. Chastain was Auburn's
master all the way as he held
them to three scattered hits, one
of the scratch variety.
Tommy Mastin, pitching his
last game for Auburn appeared
to haye the stuff to win the game
but in the fourth, a double, two
walks, two miscues, and a passed'
ball gave the Petrels two runs.
The Plainsmen were unable to
get a tally until the eighth when
they pushed one across on two
walks, an error and a wild pitch.
There were f o u r doubles
punched out during the afternoon;
Harkins for Auburn, and Crowell,
Wood, and Bagly for Oglethorpe
all got two baggers.
With these two games both
Oglethorpe and Auburn closed
out the season, and each had identical
records, winning ten and
losing eight.
