Gentle reader. allow us to intro
duce Mr.. Bidez, of Auburn. His name
sounds sufficiently weird for him to
qualify Cor artistic duties without any
change in nomenclature save the
Giovanni bats for Bill so frequent
ly found in grand opera scores.
Signor Bidez is not without other
qualifications for the job of filling
the expensive shoes of the sublime
Enrico. Auburn will tell you what
he MARBLES with surprising sweet
ness in the Auburn Glee Club. and
that his robust tenor has delighted
the crowned heads of. Opelika, Head
land, Ozark. Troy and the other Ala
bama centers of culture that the
Glee Club visits each year
A T odd times he has also done a lit
- tie fullbacking under the tutelage
of that master impresario of the
pigslSin Maestro Michael Donahue
But mp to Saturday his opportunity of
hOnorS and advancement in the full
backing field were as limited as those
usually offered a third substitute.
Wherefore, when a week ago the
clarion call to arms was sounded
by. the manager of the Auburn Glee
Club for the annual pilgrimage of
that organization through its native
temptation of appearing before a
bucoliC populace in an evening suit
and hulbullinE for the entirely en-
trancing lassies that frequent glee
club concerts
He showed the jersey and the mole
skins into a dark closet and saw to
1t that his squash hat was in working
order, and was away to lift up song
for the glory of his Alma Mater.
while the regular the first assistant
and the second assistant fullback
were getting their respective physiog-
Monies mussed up in the same sacred
cause
Which shows that Signor Bidez is
q philosopher as well as a fullbacker
and golden-Voiced tenor.
IN the meantime, Maestro Michael
was working might and main to
make il certain that his followers
downed those of Maestro McGugin.
/ He seemed perfectly well intrenched
az to the fullbaCk proposition
Didn't he have Mr. Harris who sang
like that beautiful bird they call the
bear, but who had a proven ability to
tear through anybody's line for first
Didn't he have MIR Hart who pos
sessed the musical attachments of a
one lunged Chinaman on a debauch.
but who has undoubted predictions

And wasn't there Mr. Christopher,
who has probably never heard of

NOUS by TED Coy?
! Where was there room for a man

But Maestro Michael had another

In all Auburn, Mastro Michael was

| Orange and Blue needed every ounce

! Black, and Michael also realized that
