WATER-POLO
SEMI-FINALS
UNDER WAY
Four of the five contenders for
the class A Intramural water-polo
championship will be thrashing it
out in the two games at the pool
this afternoon at 4:45 and 5:00.
Battery “F” Field Artillery will
enter the quarter-finals trying to
keep their unscored on record out
of reach of the boys from “A'
Chem Warfare. The winner of this
clash will enter the semi-final fray
against “E” F. A.
The second game of the after

Coast Artillery to decide who is
to represent their end of the brack
et in the final go-round.
With the water polo section of
the intramural schedule coming to
a close, the competition is getting
pretty keen and we should see
some mighty fast action and plen
ty of water swallowing in the ole
swimmin’ hole today.

Judging Contest—
(Continued from page 1)
In order to be eligible for the
contest, which is an annual event
sponsored by the Saddle and Sirloin
Club, the student had to be in the
upper 25 per cent of his class in
freshman animal husbandry.
Each contestant was required to
place two classes each of cattle,
horses, sheep and hogs, and to
give reasons on one class of each
type of livestock. Members of the
Senior Livestock Judging Team
chose the classes, made the plac-
ings, and in addition graded the
reasons given by each contestant.
Frank Corder and Bob Evans, sen
iors of the Saddle and Sirloin Club,
were managers of the contest.
RURAL SOCIOLOGY CLUB
The Kream and Kow Klub will meet in
Thursday night at T o’clock in room 203,

Victory Banquet—
(Continued from page 1)
the Sugar Bowl committee will
present the famous silver sugar
bowl to Dean Kyle, and it will
remain here at A. & M. College un
til time for next year’s Sugar
Bowl classic. When the original
sugar bowl is returned to New
Orleans, it will be replaced by an
exact replica, appropriately en
graved, which will remain as per
manent property of Texas A. & M.
as a result of the 14-13 victory
over Tulane in the 1940 classic.
President Benson will be ac
companied to A. & M. by a com
mittee consisting of Abe Gold
berg, vice-president, who is due
to succeed Mr. Benson as head
of the association; Hap Reilly,
publicity chairman of the commit
tee; Fred Digby, sports editor of
the New Orleans Item-Tribune,
one of the original Sugar Bowlers;
Warren Miller, first Sugar Bowl
president and organizer; Clarence
Straus, secretary of the committee,
and Joseph David, treasurer.
Following the ceremony, some
1,500 persons are expected to at
tend a banquet in Sbisa Hall which
will be open to the public. Here
tributes to the individual players
will be made, with Col. Ike Ash-
burn presiding as toastmaster.
The principal, and only, address
will be made by President F. M
Law of the Board of Directors
Coach Homer Norton will announce
the winners of the famous Aggie
“T,” and Dean Kyle will award the
various medals and bars. Sur
prise awards are rumored, and it
is probable that many of the mem
bers of the team will need assist
ance in carrying off their offer
ings from an appreciative “twelfth
man,” alumni, and friends.
Joe Utay, chairman of the Board
of Directors athletic committee
will award the “All-American”
plaques. Bert Pfaff will award
his gift to the team’s best blocker.
The team captain will get a special
memento of the occasion, and the
most valuable player trophy will
be presented.
The Aggieland Orchestra and
Glee Club will furnish the music.
The members of the team have
been given the privilege of invit
ing parents and sweethearts to at
tend. Cliff Hotard is planning to
feed choice banquet fare, and, in
truth, a good time is expected to
be had by all.
The film of the Sugar Bowl
game will be shown, after all pres
entations have been made, to all
who have not as yet had the op
portunity to see it.
The committee in charge of ar
rangements is composed of Col. Ike
Ashburn, executive assistant to the
president, E. J. Howell, registrar,
Coach Dough Rollins, and Byron
Winstead, director of publicity.
Reservations should be made not
later than January 25 through Col.
J. M. Jones-
(Continued from page 1)
a post as animal husbandryman
at the New Hampshire Experiment
Station in 1912. Two years later
he came to Texas A. & M. and was
made chief of the division in 1919.
His training has ranged from
abstract theory to concrete prac
tice. He spent 1908-09 ranching
in Wyoming. He has served as
judge at leading livestock shows
and has worked constantly for the
improvement of range animals in
the Southwest.
Among his accomplishments are
these: he assisted in establishing
a ranch experiment station near
Sonora and a wool-scouring plant
at A. & M. in 1919; and he has
established breeding investigations
for sheep, goats, and cattle, also
lamb and cattle feeding and fatten
ing investigations at ranch experi
ment stations.
In 1937 he undertook a range
cattle mineral feeding test near
Falfurrias with the cooperation of
the U. S. Department of Agricul
ture, the King Ranch, and A. &
M. College. The investigation has
created wide interest among cattle
men of the state.
Jones’ other activities include:
assistant chief clerk, Wyoming
state senate in 1909; Lewis Pen-
well’s Texas representative, wool
division of the War Industries
Board, 1918; member board of di
rectors, Southwest Texas Farm
Bureau, Wool and Mohair Market
ing Association, 1921-24; member
advisory committee, American Cor-
riedale Registry Association for
several years; member Chevon and
Angora Goat Committee, Texas
Sheep and Goat Raisers Associa
tion, 1939; director American
Angora Goat Breeders Associa
tion, 1939; member American Asso
ciation for Advancement of Science;
member American Society for
Animal Production; and member
Moslah Shrine Temple, Fort Worth.
Jones believes that one of the
outstanding contributions of the
Southwestern Exposition has been
the encouragement and opportun
ity given to youth of the state
in feeding and showing livestock.
He feels that 4-H and F.F.A. Club
members should be encouraged be
cause they will be adult showmen
of tomorrow.
Ashburn’s office, or tickets may
be secured at Canady’s Pharmacy
in Bryan and at both the Aggie
land and Lipscomb’s pharmacies on
the campus. The cost is $1.00, and
all students are urged to attend.
George Fuermann 1
moved to the border city two
years ago. One of the newspaper’s
several junior editors, George also
serves as junior editor of The Bat
talion Magazine.
One of the oldest members, in
point of service, on The Battalion
staff—he began late in his fresh
man year—George had newspaper
experience before coming to A. &
M., having formerly been employed
by the San Antonio Express and
Evening News. During his fresh
man and sophomore years George
served as a Battalion reporter and
during the summer of 1939 he was
managing editor of The Summer
Battalion.
George’s newest activity is his
service, beginning a month ago,
as Battalion radio editor. His Fri
day afternoon newscasts, with as
sociate radio editor C. A. Montgom
ery, represent The Battalion’s most
recent progressive step and are
heard by 15,000 persons weekly.
Perhaps most of all, however,
George is known as the writer of
The Battalion’s popular column,
“Backwash.” “Since I’ve been writ,
ing Backwash and doing radio
work,” George smilingly said.
“I've been nicknamed everything
from the column’s name to ‘wash-
back/ ‘washout,’ ‘scoop,’ ‘Jimmy
Fidler,’ ‘Walter Winchell,’ and a
hundred other things.” Incident
ally, his activities as a columnist
are not limited to a tri-weekly ef
fort for The Battalion. George al
so writes a weekly column for the
T. S. C. W. Lass-O, the San An
tonio Express, and occasional fea
ture articles for various other
Texas metropolitan dalies.
Nor can it be said that George’s
activities haye been limited to Bat
talion work alone. During his
sophomore year he served as pres
ident of the A. & M. Pre-Law Club,
and last summer he was elected
president of the Summer Press
Club. At the present time he is
serving a two-year term as one of
the corps’ five members on the
Student Library Committee, of
which he is secretary.
Twenty-one years of age since
last August, George earns his col
lege expenses through employment
on the college janitor force and
by summer work. Quizzed on what
he would like to do after gradu
ation in ’41, he said, “Newspaper
work is my hopec£for goal, but
failing that, I hope to enter the
American Foreign Service.” A lib
eral arts student, George is in
L Company Infantry.
Gladys Swarthout—
(Continued from page 1)
dule calls for solo appearances with
such leading symphonic organiza
tions as the Duluth Civic Sym
phony, Minneapolis Symphony, St.
Louis Symphony, Kansas City Phil-
hamonic. She will also give recitals
in Louisville, Kentucky; Worcester,
Massachusetts; Quebec, Canada,
Springfield, Ohio; Evansville, Indi
ana; Appleton, Wisconsin; Ft.
Wayne, Indiana; Topeka, Kansas;
Tucson, Arizona; Lubbock, Texas;
Mansfield, Ohio; and Utica, N. Y.
In addition to her New York
Metropolitan Opera appearances,
Miss Swarthout will also appear in
recital on Town Hall in February.
Radio engagements include four
appearances as soloist on the Ford
Sunday Evening Hour.
A musical highlight on Miss
Swarthout’s concert programs for
the coming season will be the first
performance anywhere of a group
of songs of Auvergne expressly ar
ranged for her by Cantsloupe. These
have never been heard before in
this country and had their pre
miere in the lovely diva’s first con
cert of the season in Peoria, Illinois.
Miss Swarthout was in constant
communication with the music pub
lishers in Paris for due to the war
conditions existing abroad, the or-
.hestrations were held up. Arrange
ments were made to send the scores
via clipper ship, since ship sail
ings were still somewhat uncer
tain. This was probably the first
time that old French songs have
been delivered by trasatlantic clip
per.
In a bull-session argument La
fayette College’s Jack Hamilton
bet he could walk 60 miles in 24
hours. He did—and collected nine
bucks.
