General Orders No. 9 With the approval of the President of the College, the following appointments and assignments of cadet officers and non-commissioned officers in the Band, Corps of Cadets, are announced: CORPS BAND Major, Balmer, T. A., Commanding Offi cer From blocking back to a stand out offensive star in one full sea son is the remarkable grid story of Jack Wilson, Baylor’s big 202- pound sophomore sensation. The Paris youth who really came through in his first South west Conference football game to play an important part in the Bears’ stunning 19 to 7 win over Arkansas last Saturday, never carried a football until he enroll ed at Baylor last fall. Not once had he ever tried his hand at chunking or kicking the pigskin until Freshman Coach Jim Crow talked him into giving the offensive side of the grid game a thorough trial. Last Saturday’s performance against the Razor- backs showed the full benefits of the switch as Wilson picked up big yardage time and again through the Porker forward wall, and then chipped in a couple of timely passes to lead the offensive play. For three years in high school at Paris, Wilson took care of the blocking chores in the backfield, and the only time he ever made any advances with the pigskin was on the receiving end of overhead heaves. Then came two years at Paris Jr. College, and the Baylor sophomore continued to take the part of the blocking back. These five years of experience in the blocking phase of the game is one of the big reasons why the Bruin backfield- ers have been able to pick up con siderable yardage with their ground play in every game they have play ed so far this year. Wehn the Paris gridder is not carrying the ball, he is in front of the Bear ball carriers leading the way on their offensive drives, and he is one ball player who says he gets a bigger kick out of block ing then he does carrying the ball. But Baylor coaches think that he is too valuable as an offensive threat to devote his full time to the work.

Barnyard Vocal Talents Needed For Baylor Play Paging: Anyone with barnyard vocal talents. Many are the sound effects nec essary in the production of “Our Town,” Baylor University Little Theatre play scheduled for Nov. 9 and 10, and Louise Butler, Baylor fellowship instructor, has the job of rounding them up. “Our Town” is any typical small town in America, and for its most realistic representation, all sounds common to activities in such a town must be produced . —TUESDAY, OCT. 24, 1939 Miss Butler listed as still un found suitable effects for a bob white call, horse whinny, cock crow, chickens being fed and crick ets, in the barnyard classification. Other effects needed are train whistles, factory whistles, mill whistles, thunder, lawnmower, the sound of newspapers hitting the front porch, of milk bottles being delivered in a hand rack, of the old fashioned school bell of the early 1900’s, and of church bells for a wedding scene.
