BLACKFRIAR PLAYERS SCORE PRONOUNCED
 SUCCESS IN COMEDY
Drama Association at University Presents Two One-Ac Playlets Before An Appreciative
 Audience

Tuscaloosa, November 24-(Special) ) The Blackfriar players, the popular drama association at the university, scored a pronounced success on Tuesday evening, November 20, when Lord Dunsanys "The Lost Silk Hat and "'Op O My Trump by Pryce and Tenn were played before Morgan Hall.
 Both were one-act comedies of a very appealing nature. 'The Lost Silk Hat is one of Dunsany's cleverest bits of farce and skillful acting was required to bring out the brilliant lines. Much praise is due to all the actors for their boise and ability in characterization.
 MT. Greer Scarborough in, the leading role of the Caller who was involved in difficulties caused by the loss of his hat, subsequent to the heartless be- havior of his lady love. played with vigor and life. Mir. Scarborough is a good comedian and shows much promise. Mir. Douglas Haygood, as the Poet por- trayed with finish the character of an over-temperamental poet of Greenwich will lage Mir Wirt Sowells bit of character work in the slender part of the La : borer' was exceedingly we'll done. The entirely play was a well-acted piece of work. The cast was as follows:
 Poet--Douglas Haygood
 Laborer-Wirt Sowell.
 Clerk-Lee Smallwood.
 Policeman-F'red Perry.
 "'Op-O-My Thumb" a vehicle in which Maude Adams once starred, is best de- scrbed as pathetic comedy based on the make believe of a tiny drudge in a London laundry and dreaming of her ideal beau-Mr Horace Greensmith This play was supported by particularly well-chosen cast Miss Sara Nell Propst as Clem, the sharp tongued gossip. and Miss Morgan Ward, as silly, flippant Celeste, were excellent Horace Green smith. as played by MT. Fowler Dug ger, was strong piece of work. Tn voice and in makeup MT. Dugger created admirably the impression for the part of a rough. ordinary, unlettered work man. MT. Dugger proved an excellent foil for Miss Irene Waldhorst's inter- cretation of Amanda Anlick--'Op-O My Thumb. Amanda, plucky, forlorn hard working, hungry for love, was an ap- pealing little figure and furnished op- portunity for versatile acting. Miss Waldhorst's interpretation even exceeded her finished piece of acting in "The Importance of Being Earnest" which will be remembered as the popular Black friar play of last year. Miss Wald- much to her interpretation and her tech. nioue was worthy of q professional.
 The cast was as follows:
 Madame-Msss Lucy Ormond
 Celeste-Miss Mary Morgan Ward,
 Clem-M Miss Sara Nell Propst.
 Amanda--Miss Julia Neil

Aubur11'S Gallant Stand Is
 Considered Defedt For Ohio
Plansmen Were Outpayed But Never Was Their Superiority in Fighting Qualities Observation-Disclosures Stellar
 Work Outstanding Feature of the Fray
By F. W. M,MEANs

Ohio's 45-yard line, and just as Ducote was preparing for a placement kick, the half ended.
 Between the halfs the overjoyed Au- burn student body stormed the field, headed by that hold on Auburn, touch- down Auburn" band. A beautiful "A" was made by Cheer Leader Neal John son in charge. The band played well Roll the old Football Along" and the bleechers went wild. Several yeils were given and then the team was given cheer after cheer for their valiant work.
 HARLEY'S KICK WILD
 Auburn kicked to Ohio at the begin ming of the second half. Ohio was un- able to gain and were forced to punt Ducote, after a nice gain of about 10 yards, fumbled the ball when he was tackled and Ohio gained the ball on Auburn's 40-yard line. Harley now pre- pared to kick after three poor efforts of his teammates to gain. His kick went wild and Ducote surprised the crowd by grabbing the ball and running through both teams for about 9 yards. Auburn was held and Ducote was forced to punt. Ohio gained the ball in the middle Of the field and when the quarter ended, by the good work of Stinchcombe the Buckeyes had carried the ball to Au- burns 0-yard line.
 Boeser and Stinchcombe. after several pretty bucks and end runs. were only able to carry the ball to Auburns S-yard line Here old Pete Bonner began talk ing to his teammates ana the old Au- burn line once more held. Tn these few plays Revington slipped through several times and snagged the runner for losses On several pretty plays Auburn made first down and carried the ball far enough out so that Ducote had plenty of room to kick. Ducote punted to the o,iddia If the field and StinchcOrnDe again ran around Auburn's end on a beautifully executed play for 25 yards.
 The time now was only about two minutes and 1t could be plainly seen that the Ohio gang was getting discour- aged. On three plays Ohio made first down.
 FOUR PASSES FAIL Now Auburn again stiffened with the ball in the shadow of her goal poses. Ohio was getting desperate and tried four forward passes in succession, but waiting Tigers were there to break them up. At last Auburn gained the ball and were only allowed to run one plan when the game ended.
 In conclusion it looked like Auburn was almost as good as Ohio. They cer- tainly showed up well on the defensive and but for those costly fumbles. might have won the game The ali-Ameriean Chic Harley, while he made some good gains, did not look much better than Duke Ducote. Little was seen of Bol- ton, all-western end. Ohio had a well balanced team. but they certainly lacked the punch and drive that wns necessary for a win.
 Auburn was only out played. if it can be considered that, by experience of the Ohio eleven, but for fight that Auburn bunch certainly had it.

PRACTICAL WORK IN GARDEN
Cultivate Often and Thoroughly, Keep
ing Surface Soil Loose-KiIl
Weeds at the Start.

(By R. S. MACINTOSH. Minnesota Ex-
pertinent Station.)
Cultivate your war garden often and
thoroughly.
Cultivation means the keeping of
the surface soil, the upper two inches,
loose.
Cultivate more in dry weather than
in wet.
Cultivation makes a dust blanket
and prevents the loss of soil moisture
by evaporation.
To know the tricks of the enemy is
half the battle. Know the insects and
diseases which attack your vegetables
and you will know how to fight them.
Sod when thoroughly broken up
makes the soil richer. The job is to
get it broken up and worked into the
sell.
The easiest time to kill weeds is
just as they begin to start. There
fore, start the garden hoe and the cul-
tivator early.
Skill is shown and good results OBJ
tanned when the gardener does each
job at the right time and in the right
way.
