THE BATTALION

Five Texas—
(Continued from page 6)
was rather late in getting started, but
when he got started he easily gained
the coveted position. He began against
S M U, getting back to his old form,
and didn’t let down. Stafford has
probably been the outstanding half
of the conference, his sensational
playing has earned him the title of
the “sophomore wizard.” Koy, anoth
er Texas sophomore, has shown his
value on both offensive and defensive.
His ability to return punts is good
and he is an able ball carier. There
were many men to fill these posi
tions, many good men. Travis of S M
U; Leland of the Frogs would prob
ably have made it, but the opposition
kept him covered too much; Seaman
Squyres of the Owls is good; Kyle
of Arkansas is a good ground gain
er, while Dale of the Hogs is probably
the best defensive back in the confer
ence. These two from the Ozarks
probably are all-Conference material,
but it is bad business to pick men that
haven’t been seen in action, except in
cases like the two from Baylor.
It is simple to pick Bochey Koch
and Emerson as guards, Koch is one
of the best guards ever developed in
the conference—he will probably be
the pick of all scribes for that posi
tion. Emerson of Texas is our other
choice. His playing in the game last
Thursday and all season easily rates
him that position. Morgan, Rice, and
Lord of A & M were other contend
ers. Morgan has been the mainstay
of the Rice team all year. Lord, had
he kept up the pace set earlier in the
season would probably been entitled
to a berth.
Moulden, A & M, and Blanton of
Texas draw the tackle assignments.
This probably doesn’t agree with any
one else, but after watching Blanton
and Carl have it out last week, Moul
den gets our first choice every time.
Blanton is a beautiful player and a
rather sensational sophomore of out
standing ability. Boswell of T C U
and Skeeters of the Mustangs were
considered also, as was Morris of Bay
lor, but Moulden and Blanton seem to
be the two best there is.
Louie Long, S M U, and Rube
Tracy of the Aggies are the wing
choices. Long has attained the dis
tinction of being called the greatest
end in the conference, and justly de
serves the title. Rube Tracy is easily
given the other position. Rube has
turned in a fine game every time, and
has been valuable on both offense and
defense, and especially in covering
punts. Peterson and Vining of Tex
as, and Koontz of the Mustangs are
all sterling ends. Koontz has been
named the most valuable man on the
Pony squad because of his playing.
The center position goes to Noble
Atkins, T C U player. Atkins has
played a steady, consistent game all
season and has been very valuable to
the Frogs. Paradeaux of Baylor is
another outstanding center, and there
has been much discussion over which
one to pick. Not having seen Para
deaux in action, the choice naturally
goes to Atkins, as we believe he is
the superior player of the two.
That covers the field. It won’t
please everyone. We picked them as
we liked—and anyone can do the
same.

don’t think they are, our suggestion
is for them to start at the bottom and
work up—not work down. In other
words—if we want conference cham
pionships—get players, not coaches—
other schools do. Why can’t we?
* * ❖
Carl Moulden, so far, has only made
one all-Conference selection, and that’s
/ours— but after watching him run
rings around Blanton last Thursday
we can’t see any other choice. Carl
$vas here, there, and everywhere.

Texas won the game, but when it

sound weak.

line braced and held them in check
for a short time, they passed with a
telling effect. These three not only
carried the ball with remarkable skill
but showed that they were equally as
good at running interference, blocking
and tackling. The work of Tracy and
Moulden in smearing the Texas of
fense, time after time, will not soon
be forgotten by those present at the
game. His sterling work at the wing
position against the great Longhorn
team was probably what cinched a
place for Tracy on many of the myth
ical all conference elevens.
As has been the case all year, the
Aggie offense failed to click properly,
although eight passes out of twenty
trys were complete, which might have
been worse, as the Longhorns are con
ceded to have the best pass defense
in the conference. Probably the feature
of the Aggie offensive was Hewitt’s
20 yard run around the Texas right
end, late in the fourth quarter. Most
of the Aggie running plays failed to
gain, Dansby only being able to clip
off short gains consistently.
The Aggies made one real scoring
threat, when late in the second quar
ter, on several successive passes, they
carried the ball to the Longhorn’s
15 yard line. At this point they saw
their chances fade when Malone drop
ped a pass not 5 yards from the goal
line. Texas took the ball on downs
as the half ended.
With the start of the second half
Texas lost no time getting started, and
within three minutes had scored their
third marker, after which the Aggies
braced and held them until late in the
fourth quarter, when Shelley passed
to Craig, who, standing fully ten be
hind the Aggie secondary defense, trot
ted untouched across the goal line.
The Aggies played a great ball
game, but they were clearly outclass
ed by what has been termed by sport
critics as the greatest team ever to
represent the University of Texas in
the annual Thanksgiving classic of
he Southwest.
One looks back with a tolerant
smile to those days (1848), days when
a formula seemed as powerful as a
siege gun, when the ballot seemed by
itself a guarantee of order and jus
tice in human affairs.—Lewis Mum-

Tihe new G-E low-grid-current Pliotron tube capable
of measuring a current as small as 10- 17 ampere
This Little Tube Measures Stars
Centuries of Light Years Distant
MEANS of a new vacuum tube called a low-grid-current Plio-
eJD tron tube, astronomers can gather the facts of stellar news
with greater speed and accuracy. In conjunction with a photoelectric
tube, it will help render information on the amount of light radiation
and position of stars centuries of light years away. It is further
applicable to such laboratory uses as demand the most delicate
measurement of electric current.
So sensitive is this tube, that it can measure 0.000,000,000,000,000,01
of an ampere, or, one-hundredth of a millionth of a billionth of an
ampere. This amount of current, compared with that of a 50-watt
incandescent lamp, is as two drops of water compared with the entire
volume of water spilled over Niagara Falls in a year.
General Electric leadership in the development of vacuum tubes has largely
been maintained by college-trained men, just as college-trained men are
largely responsible for the impressive progress made by General Electric in
other fields of research and engineering.
