- speeches and the indomitable energy and leadership of Thomas Bragg, president of the Auburn Alumni association, was the inspiration Of many a sentence of praise.
 President Thach presided and the as- sembly stood while pr. Hines of Opelika led in prayer. President Thach, after a few well chosen words of welcome intro duced w. M. Williams as master of cere- monies and "Billie'' took charge and ran things in excellent style. Tn his open ing talk MT. Williams referred to the gymnasium as material evidence of the indefinable Auburn spirit which dares to do and is ever loyal" and said: "There is no sentiment more beautiful than loyalty. There is no element in the characteristics of man more desirable than loyalty; there is nothing more noble, nothing more venerable"
 TRIBUTE TO ALUMNI
 President Thomas Bragg paid high tribute to the loyal sons of Auburn; begged the students to catch the spirit of these sons of the past and expressed the hope that the new gymnasium might send forth men as capable and as elf -eient as. are the products of the old. He urged that this be but a beginning oi what the alumni will do for Auburn.
 Governor Henderson in receiving the building for the state praised the Au- burn spirit of loyalty and service, the Auburn student body for it's military ef- ticiency. and the Auburn alumni for their gift to the state.
 Editor Sheehan delivered most in- teresting address in which he praised Auburn's spirit of sacrifice and loyalty and said that Auburn had the right idea in expecting service from her sons.
 In this connection he said: we have here in this structure an example of the great spirit which instills service and responsibility. I have thought that many of our leaders of the past have been groping in error when they failed to 1n- culcate a spirit of readiness to meet ob- ligations and to teach the individual his necessary duty of fulfilling responsibil ity. I trust I do not interpret the Au- burn spirit wrong when regard Auburn not only as a fostering mother to her sons, but as a discipling mother who compels service as well as affection"
 FROM THE UNIVERSITY
 Following Editor Sheehan, Dean Petrie spoke on "The Significance of this Oc- casion." Dean Barnwel1 of the Univer- sity of Alabama, who played fullback on Auburn's first football team brought words of greeting from the state uni versity.

 ALL-STARS WIN GAME
 The an-star scrub football game proved to be one of the most interesting and exciting games ever witnessed on the Au- burn campus, the all-stars winning IA to O Bidez carrying the ball across on two occasions and Major kicking both goals.
 The scrubs presented a formidable, smooth working aggregation. and the showing the all-stars made was consid- cred wonderful. Without a days prac- tice a team was organized from prac- tically every team since Donahue came to Auburn and the signals given out. The game started and it was at once apparent that lnc bOildHu6 stone Wall line has been his asset all the time, for the scrubs could not make first down against this line, gathered from 04Sto '15. On the other hand, the all-stars presented a strong offense with Bidez and Pentoil playing well and Newell skirting the ends as in days of yore. Newell repeatedly tore off 10 to 40 yards on end runs and returned punts for gains on every oc- casion. Majors trained toe had lost none of it's cunning in four years and the heavy quarterback punted for 55 yards on sev eral occasions He also kicked the two goals from difficult angles. Penton and Bidez plunged well and behind the strong line composed of three Pats Louisell, Lockwood, Pitts and Howle. they were sure for substantial gains.
