THE BATTALION
Higginbotham Fields
Pitching Problems
Are Difficult Ones
HAWES, SCHEER, SHAW
HOLD SPOTLIGHT
Finding capable performers to fill
the gaps left by the graduation, last
June, of Pete Wendt, all-conference
hurler, Tom Mills, also an outstand
ing pitcher on the Aggie team for the
past two seasons, and Byron Lackney,
all-conference catcher, is causing
Coach Higginbotham no few worries,
with the opening of the conference
race less than one month in the fore.
Contending for the position on the
hillock at the present time are: Ab
Hawes, Dallas, letterman last year,;
Bob Scheer, Marshall; C. M. Lagow,
Dallas, squadman last season; F. M.
Shaw, Ennis, freshman numeral man;
H. O. Haney, Rio Hondo; Charlie Ma
lone, Dallas; and F. H. Reichert, Fort
Sam Houston.
The loss of Dansby, through scho
lastic ineligibility, leaves the receiving
post with-out a letterman. However
four candidates are now in the race
for the position. They are: G. P.
Lord, Jourdanton; R. E. Garvey, Liv
ingston; A. A. Golasinki, Houston;
and L. W. Huebel, Glidden.
Among the competing for the hurl
ing post, Bob Scheer, showing a' mark
ed improvement since the start of the
present season, is now the outstand
ing candidate for that position thus
far. Scheer is a righthander, has
a nice assortment of curves coupled
with average control and is a fair
hitter.
Of the four contenders for the re
ceiving end, Garvey, freshman num-
earlman of last year, is holding a
slight edge.
The Aggies pitching staff, consider
ed the weakest spot of the team, and
probably the poorest in three sea
sons, will be favored in the coming
race by the arrangement of the sche
dule in which A & M plays ten games,
but,, no two of them on consecutive
dates. With the schedule arranged
one good pitcher will suffice.

WINS PRINCETON AWARD
The Pyne honor prize, which car
ries with it the highest honor that can
be bestowed upon a Princeton under
graduate, has been awarded to Nelson
P. Rose of Columbus, Ohio, who is
pictured above. The award is made an
nually to the student who has most
clearly manifested the qualifications
of “excellent scholarship, manly qual
ities and effective support of the best
interests of the university.”
Corinthian Coins More
Durable Than Penny
PRINCETON, N. J.—Professor Don
ald P. Smith and Dr. Earle R. Caley,
of the Princeton university department
of chemistry, have discovered that the
American one cent piece, although pro
duced by the application of the most
modern metalurgical knowledge, is
very much inferior in durability to
the Corinthian bronze coins made by
the ancient Greeks. The discovery fol
lowed the analytical study of some
Greek coins over 2,300 years old.
The report of the Princeton profes
sors also shows that coins of the city
of Sicyon were made by mass produc
tion methods. Both the Corinthian and
Sicyonian coins were brought to this
country by Prof. T. Leslie Shear of
the Princeton department of art and
archeology during explorations in the
vicinity of Corinth and were recently
submitted to the department of chem
istry for examination.
Colleg-ians Compete For
$50,000 Contest Prizes
Participation in a $50,000 Prize con
test with the major award in view is
the latest addition to the list of oc
cupations in which college men and
women are engaged in an effort to pay
for their education, according to sta
tistics announced today by the contest
staff of R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Com
pany at Winston-Salem, N. C , an
unusually large percentage of answers
to the tobacco company’s contest cen
tering on the new Camel cigarette
package improvement come from the
pens or typewriters of college people
the figures show.
With thousands of letters flooding
the contest office hourly and with ad
ditional thousands expected until sev
eral days after the contest has closed
requiring a postmark by midnight on
March 4, the returns indicate that a
small army of college students have
burned the midnight oil in hopes of
supplementing their regular incomes
with the $25,000 first prize. The per
centage of collegiate contestants is be
lieved to be considerably higher than
is apparent since only those who add
ed their class and college to their en
tries could be identified by the exam
iners as college students. At least an
equal number, it is estimated entered
the contest but were modestly silent
concerning their collegiate affiliations.
Tuition and living expenses are the
bugaboos of students for most of the
student entrants remark that, should
they win, the prize money will be ap
plied to tuition expenses. Not one of
the would-be winners apparently would
use the award for even so educational
a luxury as a European trip.
Practically every college in the coun
try is represented in the answers. More
than 400 campuses have been buzzing
with the contest for nearly every stu
dent daily newspaper in the country
announced the competition with large
space advertisements. The contest, call
ing for answers to the question: “What
significant change has recently been
made in the wrapping of the Camel
package containing twenty cigarettes
and what are its advantages to the
smoker?” involved the expenditure of
one million dollars in advertising in
seven days, believed to be one of the
most intensive short time advertising-
campaigns ever staged.
Colleges Place Little
Stress On Education
SOUTH HADLEY. Mass.—Gradu
ates of eastern colleges are likely to
have a small place in the modern edu
cation movement in this country, ac
cording to Dr. Charles W. Ryan jr.,
who spoke here recently, because these
colleges are paying little attention to
the needs of the modern teacher, in
an educational preparation way. Dr.
Ryan, a professor education at Swarth-
more College, and director of the edu
cational department of the Bureau of
Indiana Afftairs, declared:
“There is a veritible renaissance go
ing on in education all over the world,
but graduates of the established East
ern colleges are likely to have but a
minor part in this because of the fail
ure of the colleges to give the atten
tion they deserve to the fields of edu
cation, psychology and sociology.”
