General Orders No. 9

and assignments of cadet officers and

Corps of Cadets, are announced:

Major, Balmer, T. A., Commanding Offi

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.

INTRAMURALS
With Hub Johnson
By Hub Johnson
With few games being scheduled
for Thursday evening and none
for Friday evening the reports are
scarce. In fact, it appears that
mostly sleep has been the bill for
the last two days.
Dave Alsobrook, Aggie baseball
star, was the spark in the I In
fantry team as they stopped the
D Company boys 9 to 2 in a late
game of basketball last week. The
I Company team has good cause
to issue fair warning to all other
in their league and in the others
as well to bear down as they come
near. They took the game with
ease and had reserves to spare.
Gallaway scored the only talley |
for D Infantry in the first half, j
After that Dave at one of the j
guard positions stopped all comers \
and the rest of the team continued I
to run up the points. |
The swimming meet promises |
to be larger than ever this year |
as many prospective entrants are |
to be seen in the pool daily, and |
the swimming class appears much j
like a swimming team practice !
with all the freshmen trying to J
better their past records or pre- |
paring to attempt to make their |
first here.
Preliminaries for the meet will |
be run November 4 with the meet |
taking place the following eve-
ning.
Two games of basketball and !
three of football headed the fresh- |
man class the last of this week, j
A Chemical Warfare fish turned |
back E Engineers in a close game I
ending 7 to 15. S. W. Deadman [
and B. T. Flowers led the chem j
team with eight and six points j
respectively with J. W. Newsom j
and A. B. Canfield registering six |
each for the Engineers .
With all points marked up in the !
first half of a tight game, A Sig- I
nal Corps and G Coast Artillery j
settled down to try to hold each I
other to no more scratches. The j
game ended 10 to 9 with the =
Signal Corps on the heavy side. \
Darnell for the signal team and J
Connely for the coast each scored |
four points. {

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.

THIS IS LIFE INSDRANCE WEEK
“Life Insurance rests upon the assumption that
there are riches which the individual can neither
control nor carry single-handed and alone.
“Insurance is the modern method by which men
make the uncertain certain and the unequal equal.
Every insurance policy is a Declaration of Independ
ence, a charter of economic freedom. He who holds
one has overcome adversity.”
