ON HOWARD BULLDOGS OF SPADES HELD
Saturday's Game Dropped

The redoubtable Skinny Hines
twirled the Tigers to a ten inning

each man allowed but five)
hits, and while Stevens whiffed 10
men, Hines had the Howard bunch
under control all the time, and
squelched any rally that they happened
to start during the course of
the game.
Howard started off like they
meant to make it three straight from
the Tigers but Auburn thought otherwise,
scoring two runs in the eighth
off the mighty Ham Stevens. The
Bulldogs knotted the count in their
half of the frame and the game
went into extra innings. In the
tenth Stewart led off with his
third successive single, went to
second on Allen's fly, and scored
on Fancber's hit and Dawson's
wild heave.
As usual, Allen and Stewart played
bang-up ball, the latter doing
about all the hitting for the Tigers.
Dawson played well for the Bulldogs,
but the real feature of the
game wasjhe splendid pitching of
Hines and Stevens.
With the Howard game tucked
away, the Tigers seemed almost
certain of gaining decision over
the Southerners. But the best laid
plans of mice and men often go up
the spout, so did this ball game.
Outhitting the Panthers 10 to 7,
and driving the noted Babe Graham
from the hill, the Tigers should
have won the game in the proverbial
walk. But there were many
breaks and the Tigers got the short
end of most of them, especially in
the seventh when Ansley muffed
Richardson's long fly and let two
runs trickle over the pan.
Rough Ed and Red Griffin had
their batting eyes on Saturday, the
former collecting a triple and a
homer, and the latter garnering two
singles and a triple. Both Auburn
pitchers twirled good ball, barring
a little wildness, but their support;
was not very steady and the Panthers
thereby gained the decision.
TREAT TO STUDENTS WONDERFUL SUCCESS
Honor gSocietyj Initiation
Part of May Day Program
A drive has been started ' the
purpose of which is to obtain funds
for fitting out the band members
with uniforms during the coming
session. The plan was originated
by students and it is to the students
and the townspeople that a
strong appeal is being made to assist
to the uttermost in the attempt
to obtain the necessary money.
Fifteen hundred dollars is
the ultimate aim of the drive, as
this will be the amount needed to
equip the band with up-to-date
uniforms.
Plans for securing the needed j
shekels include an All-Star Vaude- j
ville, put on by the varied talent
of the institution, to be staged on
Tuesday night, May 6th, in Lang-don
Hall. There will be two shows,
one at 7 o'clock and the other at
8:30. Every possible thing has
been done whereby a first class
attraction can be given .the, stij^
dents and it is ex.pected that they
will respond to a man. An account
of the program of thfe performance
may be found elsewhere in this
issue. It will include real vaudeville
stunts by students and others
who have had experience in acting,
and its chief merit will lie in
its variety. In addition, there will
be plenty of orchestral and band

The Auburnites lost one of the
fastest and most interesting games
seen on the campus, the score being
4 to 2. Skinny Hines pitched
a good game for the locals, all of
Trinity's hits being singles, some
of them of the scratch variety.
This was Hines' second well-pitched
game in three days, and he is
developing into the most consistent
pitcher on the local staff.
Dempster, for the visitors, had the
Tigers feeding out of his hand until
the ninth, when four successive
singles with one out made things
look warm. However, Dempster
tightened up and whiffed Sheridan
and Maury. «

Montgomery Singer Makes
Great Hit
Miss Mary Frances O'Connell,
who is heralded as Alabama's outstanding
daughter in the field of
American music, made her debut
on last Friday night in Langdon
Hall before a most appreciative audience.
She is beginning a scries
of opera and song recitals which
will include visits to Montevallo
and the University of Alabama.
Auburn should and does feel honored
in the fact that the future
prima donna chose "the loveliest
village" as the place of her initial
performance.
In her appearance before the
audience of students and townspeople,
Miss O'Connell acquitted
herself admirably, each number
which she sang being greeted with
loud and hearty applause. She
was called back for encores from
time to time as the program came
to a conclusion, her hearers seemed
loath to leave their seats. And,
indeed, they woujd not do so until
the vocalist had favored them
with several selections over and
above those appearing on the regular
program. Several opera selections
were rendered and songs
from some of the world's greatest
musicians were sung by Miss O'Connell
with a sweetness and beauty
(Continued on Page 4),
One of the big events of the
week was the election of ten men
from the junior class to Spades,
senior honor society. Near the
close of each scholastic year Spades
hold this election and ten outstanding
men from the junior class
are chosen. These men constitute
the members of the society for the
following year and their selection
is based upon the merit of scholarship,
character and student activities.
As a prelude to the May Day
program the 10 initiates appeared
on the scene. Dressed in costumes
of the negro minstrel variety, the
new members staged, in the most
comical manner, a mock coronation
of the queen while a camera
man filmed their act. During the
arranged. program of the day
they were made to sit quietly in
a group in the bleachers but following
their hour of quietness
they had a very active time carrying
out the cleverly arranged de
tails of the initiation.
During the afternoon the new
members were allowed to don nor-

One of the most enjoyable musical
programs ever given in the
little village of Auburn (excepting
the Auburn band at a football
game) was staged in the Alumni
Gymnasium on Thursday, May 1,
(afternoon and evening) when the
famous 60 piece Minneapolis Symphony
Orchestra led by Henri Van-bruggeen,
Belgian director par excellence,
played many favorite
numbers to a record breaking
crowd of music lovers from Montgomery,
Columbus, Opelika and
Auburn. This is the first time this
famous symphony orchestra has
ever visited the South; Auburn is
extremely lucky in having had
them, for their next stop was to
have been New Orleans.
The Alumni Gymnasium rendered

SCABBARD AND BLADE
INSTALL LOCAL CHAPTER
The Auburn Sabres, a local Honorary
Military Society, has recently
been granted a chapter of Scabbard
and Blade, the installation
to take place Monday, May 5th.
The charter was granted at the
convention recently held at Cham-paigne,
111.
Scabbard and Blade is a national
honorary society selecting its
membership from the students of
the Military departments of the
American colleges and universities
and also associate membership. At
present there are over 30 chapters
in the country with a membership
numbering several thousand.
Auburn has had a military department
that excels any in the
State and compares favorably with
any in the country and it was the
purpose of the members of the local
society to secure the recognition
that the school deserves.
The installation team from the
National Headquarters will arrive
Monday, the 5th, and the installation
will take place the same day.
The installation banquet will be
held that night in a suitable place
with the various officers as the
guests of the local chapter. .
The active members of the local
chapter are as follows:
F. K. Hanlin, Infantry, Sheffield,
Ala.; F. M. Orr, Artillery, LaGrange,
Ga.; W. K. Mosley, Engineers, Pen-sacola,
Fla.; F. J. Almgren, Engineers,

Truly Vanbruggeen is a wonderful
director, for his program—containing
some extremely difficult
compositions—went through without
a hitch. He was extremely
susceptible to the generous applause
that greeted each number
and turned his head and bowed
to the right and left, so that each
one of his listeners felt as though
they had received a bit of personal
thanks from the great director.

center of attraction during the

on Tuesday May 201 when something
like 200 young men and women
will receive degrees.
One of the outstanding features
of commencement will be the semiannual
meeting of the Auburn
Board of Trustees on Monday May
19. Governor Brandon and all
other members of the Board are
expected to be present. President
Dowell will submit his annual report
setting forth the achievements
during the year and recommendations
for the suceeding year.
Following Judge Carden's address
to the alumni Monday morning
the annual alumni banquet will
be held at Smith Hall at 1 o'clock.
Monday evening the annual class
day exercises will be held on the
college campus. The program will
be Concluded Tuesday with the
baccalaureate address and the presentation
of degrees, prizes and
honors by President Dowell. Several
hunderd out-of-town guests
will be present.
Facing the mighty Missisippi Aggies
together with all the other
leading Southern colleges in the
Tech relays last Friday, the Auburn
tracksters showed up unusually
well. Several Southern records
and one American record fell
during the* course of the meet,
and the meet was a most interesting
one in spite of the way that
Mississippi A. & M. tried to convert
it in to a runaway.
Nelson, who is rapidly developing
into a sprint star, came second
in the hundred heats, and came
fourth in the finals. The consistent
Stockelberg, by some splendid
running, pulled the Tiger into a
second place in the sprint medley
relay. Marquis won the third heat
in the 120 Yard high hurdles, and
came second in the semi-finals.
But the best Tiger performance
came in the pole vault Locke tied
for first with Waller of Vanderbilt,
the heighth being 11 feet 10 and
three quarters inches.
Due to the good showing made in
the Belays, the Tigers are expecting
to make themselves heard from
in the Tulane meet and the big S.
I. C. meet in Montgomery.
"Emma" Goleman, who won out
in the recent contest with such an
overwhelming majority, was crowned
Queen of the May on Thursday
morning with as elaborate a ceremony
as any sovereign might desire.
The affair was the most unique
that has ever been put on in
the Village of the Plains, and a
great crowd was out to witness
the attractions. All forces co-operated
wonderfully in making it
the biggest day in the history of
Auburn. Gorgeously attired, and
with attendants no less sumptuous
in appearance, the newly crowned
queen presided over the ceremonies
of May Day with a dignity and
gracefulness that would have become
the proudest monarch in the
world.
The Pathe News man was there
with his camera, and made moving
pictures of the most attractive
parts of the ceremony. These poc-tures
will soon be shown in the
theatres throughout the country,
giving great publicity for Auburn
and still greater for "Queen Emma."
He afterwards remarked that
he had covered many stories and, -
incidents, but that the one which
engaged his time and attention
Thursday was the most unique one
on his record.
To begin, the procession passed
before the camera man, and proceeded
to the throne located in the
center of the park. The co-eds attired
in crepe dresses of variegated
colors made a long arch with their
silver wands, under which the
Queen and her retinue passed to
the throne. Once there and surrounded
by her attendants, the entire
company posed for another
picture, after which Dr. Petrie
made a speech of welcome to "Her
Majesty, the Queen." Chancellor
George W. Phillips made an appropriate
reply.
Then the various attractions
started, with dances by the girls
of the grammar and high schools.

Good Program
Arranged For
All-Star Vaudeville
. An especially attractive program
has been arranged for the
All-Star Vaudeville which will be
staged in Langdon Hall on Tuesday
night for the benefit of the
campaign to raise funds with
which to purchase uniforms for
the band. This program embraces
six clever acts, which include all
kinds of music, dancing and novelty
entertainment.
Frank Bussey and his troop of
"Hiwaiian Serenaders" have worked
up an act that will bring back
fond memories of the shredded
wheat dresses. A new series of
"dreamy" melodies has been arranged
and all indications point
to splendid act. Then Samie Nelson,
"Bed" Halfman, and "Bat"
Grant will put on a clog-dancing
and novelty act that ought to go
in great style. All who attended

AUBURN RADIO STATION
DOING GREAT WORK
Auburn has one of the very best
broadcasting stations in the whole
South and evidence of this fact
is being brought to hand every
day. After every concert that is
broadcast from here, the. local
operators of WMAV are daily in
receipt of letters and cards of appreciation
from all parts of the
country, from the shores of the
Pacific to the Atlantic seaboard,
and from the Gulf of Mexico to the
states along the northern boundary,
And in fact reports have also been
received from parts of Canada. On
some occasions the programs are
primarily musical while at other
times interesting lectures are
given; but music or speech, expressions
of genuine appreciation
are continuously coming in from
listeners, wherever they may be.
It would be interesting to note
from what scattered locations the
Auburn station has been heard.
Below will be found excerpts from
several cards and letters, which

Spirit of the above slogan rung in
1|he heart of every loyal son of
Auburn. But now there has arisenj

•terest of the students and it is de;
pending upon the students to carry
it across. And those who have
&'thoughtfully initiate*! this plan
are resting assured that Auburn
men will not fail in the full execution
of that duty which naturally
fails to their lot.
This issue carries the full story
of the plan that has been set on
foot whereby uniforms can be furnished
to the members of the band
during next year's session. That
is the one great occasion wherein
every Auburn man and co-ed can
give his or her support to something
which goes to make a bigger
and a better Auburn. It is not expected
that one will purchase a
tjeket U the entertainment merely
for the purpose of getting his money's
worth, because such was not
the original plan of those who sug-'
gested it. However, an attempt is
being made to make this attraction;
one of the best of the year and the j
fact that the program will include
a great variety of talent will almost
if not quite make it worth
the money. But, show or no show,:
it is up to the students to see that|
this project goes through to a successful
conclusion.
Stop to think a minute what the
band really means to Auburn. Next,
to her athletic teams the band adds'
or detracts more from her reputa-<
tion than any other one item. Think
how little it makes Auburn men
feel to see Tech's band or
Georgia's band, attired in handsome
uniforms, come out on the
field between halves at the annual
football classics and play their:
Alma Mater, while, in spite of the;
pleas of Auburn alumni, her band
cannot show itself and create a
favorable impression on account of
the lack of , uniforms. The band
i s without a doubt one of the in-;
stitution's greatest and most valuable
assets, but it cannot be made
to funcion to its fullest capacity
without Adequate equipment. And
the one prominent item in
Now that May Day has come and
gone and the program was carried
out with such a marked degree of
success it is time to pause and
reflect over who was responsible
for the staging of such an elabor-:
ate pageant as the one which so;
many were fortunate enough to
witness. To whom is credit due
for planning and executing the af
fairs of May Day, and how can the
appreciation of the college and
student body be expressed in its
entirety? The students realize that
it is indeed most'appropriate thai
such an expression of thanks be
made public and this opportunity
is taken to do so.
First, to the ladies *>t the town
who devoted so much time and labor
to the worthy ;ause which has
so recently met with success, the
student body wishes to express its
heartfelt gratitude and appreciation.
Then to all who took part;,
in the festival it is fitting that
due praise and thanks be given,
and last but by no means least to
the students in the Architectural
Department who aided so graciously
in bringing the campaign and
program to a successful conclusion.
On Saturday, April 26th. the
Auburn Pistol team won three
matches. Missouri was the first
to be conquered and it was the
first time Auburn ever won a duel
match with this college. Out of
a possible 4900 the scores of the
itwo colleges were Auburn 4422,
Missouri 4326. .. ,
; The second match that was won
jwas from the Oregon A & M col-lejge.
Here Auburn scored 1631
and Oregon 1534 (out of a possible
1700). Ames (Iowa State)
was the next to suffer defeat at
the hands of the Tiger gunstcrs.
1631 to 1574 was the result of this
match.
Friday May 2nd. is the date
scheduled for the National pistol
match and it is hoped that Auburn
can again make a good showing
this year. On the day following
this match there will be duel
matches with Texas A & M and
also with Colorado A & M. The|
pistol team has fired many matches!
and has brought much credit to:
the Institution. They deserve tol
be congratulated on their many
victories and also upon their efficient
instructors in the art of
handling a 44.

occasions during the week-end
several hundred students and members
of the faculty were treated to
real feasts of famous southern barbecue
and choice products of the
kitchens back home.
On Friday night the Delta Sigma

that would be hard to improve up-

At Missouri University
J. W. Fant, a Junior and member
of the Agricultural Club is away
this week as the guest of the Students'
Agricultural Fair of the
University of Missouri at Columbia.
This fair is the one of the oldest
in the country, and its reputation
has so spread as to attract
10,000 visitors last year.
Auburn was invited to send representatives
from its Ag. Club and
Alabama Farmer Staff as well, but
Mr. Fant is attending as a joint:
delegate from both organizations
It is expected that this large and
w0ll-known show will supply
much valuable and needed information
through Mr. Fant for holding
the annual local Agricultural
Club Fairs and assisting in other
similar activities of the agricultural
students of the college.

AUBURN MEETS MISS.
AGGIES SATURDAY
On this%rturday the Cole-heavers
will journey 6ver4p-Mb«tgomery to
engage the strong Mississippi A. &
M. team. A few weeks ago this
would have been an equivalent that
the Tigers were clue for a disastrous
rout but such has been the improve-
-jn&nt-iJa-thfc-kicaL „s&uotL~ r£.cei!t]y
that there is every prospect for a
good game, in spite of the way that
the Aggies have been bowling over
their opponents this season. Coach
Cole seems to have succeeded in unearthing
a steady hurler in the lank
form of Skinny Hines, and will
probably start him against the Miss-issippians.
With the whole team
playing better ball, an Auburn victory
is far from an impossibility.
Quite a unique program was givr
en by the Lion's Club at their
weekly luncheon at the Tea Room
Tuesday. After splendid vocal and
instrumental selections were rendered
by/Mesdames Carnes, Askew
and Tidmore, and a few short
talks by guests, the real fun began.
With everything going along nicely
a newsboy rushed in with a sper
c'yai edition of the "Tail Twister,"
the Lions' unusual publication. The
headlines announced the candidacy
of Dr. "Stuff" Gardner for mayor,
"the blocking,of Montgomery street
traffic by Prof. "Noisy" Callan and
the domestic troubles of the "newly
weds,"- "Boozer" Pitts and hit
better half. Sensational stories and'
other items with a "pergonal:
touch" made up the entire and included
about thirty members of
the club. As many of the articles

Miss Myrtle Jackson, one of the
women students of Auburn, was re-c-
JU2i!i-l1.2!?Pre,d by being includecr
among the one hundred special
guests of Hampton Institute, Hampj
ton, Virginia, at their fifty-.seventh
founders' day celebration.
Miss Jackson was the only college
girl and the only Southern woman
included in the party.- She had an
invitation from Dr. Gregg, president
of the school, and was a guest in
the home of the owner of the Darling
Oyster Fisheries. During the
first day of her stay in Hampton,
she was entertained in the mansion
house.
The program for this celebration
had for its speakers some of the
ablest and best known educators of
the United States. Miss Jackson
says that the thing that impressed
her most about the students of
Hampton Institute was their defi-niteness
of purpose, their determination,
and their culture and politeness.

HENRY CAVENDISH
1731-1810
English chemist and physicist,
of whom Hot said, "He was
the richest of the learned and
the most learned of the rich.
His last great achievement was
his famous experiment to determine
the density of the earth.
-
In this age of electricity
the General Electric
Company has blazed
the trail of electricalpro-
Kress. -You will find its
monogram on the giant
generators o'sed by
lighting companies;
and even on the lamps
and tittle motors that
mean so much in the
home. It is a symbol
of useful service.
He first made
water from gases
Henry Cavendish, an eccentric millionaire
recluse, who devoted his life to research,
was the discoverer of the H and the O in
H?0. In fact he first told the Royal Society
of the existence of hydrogen.
He found what water was by making it
himself, and so became one of the first of
the synithetic chemists.
Cavendish concluded that the atmosphere,
contained elements then unknown. His
conclusion has been verified by the discovery
of argon and other gases.
The Research Laboratories of the General
Electric Company have found a use tor
argon in developing lamps hundreds of
times brighter than the guttering candles
which lighted Cavendish's laboratory.

in the second and added three
more in the fourth. After this
Hines and Dempster pulled off a
real pitchers' battle and it looked
like a 4 to 0 victory for the Methodists.
In the eighth frame Aleck
Ansley leaned on one of Dempster's
offerings and sent it down
the third base foul line for a round
trip. Then the Tigers brought
the fans to their feet with a ninth
inning rally, but Dempster pulled
his aforementioned tightening-up
act and the two pinch-hitters were
unable to drive in the necessary
runs.
The fast fielding of both sides
was the feature of the game. Stewart
stopped two drives that were
travelling with the speed of a runaway
airplane and made one beautiful
stop of a bad grounder. The1
Tiger infield piled up four double
plays, Griffin figuring in three of
them. Allen scintillated at short,
while Bo Self played his usual
steady game in left. For the visitors,
Dempster pitched a beautiful
game and fielded his position well.
Turner and Lowe also performed

THE PROPER PLACE TO DINE
Montgomery, Alabama
Especially good in the opinion of
all who witnessed it was the: 'sailor
dance of the high school girls. And
a duet dance entitled "A Japanese
Flirtation" by Misses Mary Dowell
4nd Jane Yarbrough drew hearty
Applause from the spectators. Two
iiay-pole dances followed, one by
the co-eds and the other by the
eshmen in Architecture. During
11 these performances the Pathe
ews cameraman was on his job,
and attracted as much attention to
himself as any of the regular numbers
did.
! Many familiar faces made up the
Queen's long retinue. First of all,
Queen Emma herself, who shone
forth in all her beauty and glory,
would haye made Cleopatra drop
back ahd take a rear seat. Miss
Earl Lutz, the maid of honor, was
no less conspicuous in. the eyes of
^he spectators, and Miss Bevo
Swango gracefully performed her
fole. The flower girls, "Fatty"
McCully ahd "Slim Warner, strew-jed
petals before "Her Majesty's"
path, while the court jesters, "Pat"
Patrick and "Rat" Thomas, kept
the whole crowd continually amus-jed.
Other attendants were "Bull"
Drake arid "Minnie" Brice, all robed
in flowing white dresses. ,
j In conclusion, a mock wedding
brought forth bursts of applause.
iTHen it was'that a fitting climax
was given to the morning's attractions,
when the Queen of May became
the bride of H. L. Holman,
and ''Chancellor" Phillips pronounced
the ceremony. To sum
marize, it was a great day for all
who witnessed the performances,
and will set a precedent to be fol
lowed in the future.

Miss Frances O'Connell, of Montgomery,
sang with her beautiful
Coloratura soprano voice two beautiful
arias from the operas—Miclj-aela's
song from Carmen and
"Donde Lieta" from La .Boheme.
If Miss O'Connell continues to sinp

in musical circles is certaip
to be a rapid one.
Among the outstanding feature^
of Vanbruggeen's program was a
violin solo (Prelude to Saint,Saen's

and a harp cadenza from LisztV
"Second Hungarian Rhapsody" by
Henry J. Williams. The only, en
core given during the course of the
afternoon was a repetition' bf iUu

Agricultural Club
Elects Officers
For Next Year
i On last Wednesday night the Agricultural
Club met for a brief
meeting, at which the most important
item was the business of
electing officers for the first term
of next year
The results of the election are as
follows: President, E. E. Hale;
Vice-President, W. H. Weidenbach;
Secretary, J. H. Beaty; Treasurer,
R. W. Tait; Librarian, O. C. Manci;
Sergeant-at-arms, W. G. Killough;
Critic, F. Mullins; Reporter, A. S.
Hodges.
All of these men have taken an
active part in the activities of the
Ag. Club to date, and it is the opinion
of all closely associated with
the workings of the club that a
better group of leaders could not
have been selected to start things
off next year and maintain the
high standing and quality of work
which the Ag. Club has always' upheld.
The President, Mr., Hale is
especially well fitted by training
and general capability to be the
leading officer of this live organization,
having already been its
Secretary and the 1924 Winner of
the Gamma Sigma Delta Loving
Cup as the Best All-round Junior
in Agriculture.

Dr. Dowell has pledged his
whole-hearted support to the
scheme and with it the backing of
the whole faculty. The local civic
organizations are behind it in real
earnest, and the presidents of the
four classes have agreed to do all
in their power to make the drive
a success. It is realized, however,
that the final results depend upon
the support of the students.
According to the plans, the drive
will begin on Saurday, May 3rd,
and Saturday, Monday, and Tuesday
will be designated as "Tag
Days." On these days tickets will
be sold on the streets and to everyone
who buys one will be given
a tag bearing these words: "One
hundred percent for Auburn." The
aim of the managers of the drive
will be to see everyone in Auburn
tagged. A big thermometer will be
placed at Toomer's Corner with a
graduated scale up to 1500, with
a goal-post painted at the top, and
"Touchdown Auburn" as a slogan.
Each afternoon at six o'clock the
total amount taken in will be registered
on the thermometer where
it can be open to the public. In:
tense interest is being shown In
the working out of these plans and
everything seems to be working together
toward their success.
