Green Bay Packers Beat Chicago Bears
As New York Giants Trim Washington Reds
They sure had a couple of bat
tles on Kyle Field Wednesday aft
ernoon when the Green Bay Pack
ers beat the Chicago Bears 14 to
0 and the New York Giants beat
the Washington Redskins 4 to 0.
The Packers (A team) got their
14 points when Bill Conatser cir
cled end for nine yards and a
touch and later returned a punt 78
yards for a touch. John Kim
brough added both extra points.
Martin Ruby, 200-pound tackle,
gave the Giants (B team) their
four points when he crashed
through and dropped “Bama”
Smith behind the goal line and
again when he dropped Tom Pickett
behind the pay stripe.
Conatser’s 78-yard dance was
made possible by excellent blocking
on the part of John Kimbrough
and Tommie Thomason, besides his
fancy stepping that saw him re
verse his field twice.
Jack Webster, understudy to
John Kimbrough, made the railbirds
stand up and take notice of his
drive.
The teams will start their games
today at 2:00 o’clock.
Longhorns Defeat Aggies 42-31
If you want to see a lot of
basketball just go down to the gym
today. Yesterday the teams from
near-by counties started their
tournament and will finish tonight.
Basketball Team Travels to Fort Worth,
To Return Via Dallas and S. M. U.
The Aggie cagers left yesterday
at noon for Fort Worth where they
will play the T. C. U. Frogs tonight
before stepping over to Dallas,
suburb of Cowtown, for their final
game with S. M. U. Monday night.
A. & M. beat both of these teams
earlier in the year in DeWare Gym
and they expect to do it again on
foreign soil.
The cagers were in the “dumps”
when they returned from Austin
Thursday. They said that they
should have beaten the Steers. To
a man, they say they are going to
beat out of Bobby Moers
and his Texas mates a week from
today when the Steers play here
at College.
If the Aggies take two of their
remaining three games they will
finish the season way ahead of
where anyone thought they would.

GOOD NEWS!
We are happy to announce
that our old friend Oscar
Gregg is now manager of
our store in College Station.
Mr. Gregg, who formerly
owned a jewelry store at the
North Gate, wishes to invite
all of the old and new stu
dents to come in and visit
with him.

lie Safety team and the Austin
Police. However, the results of
the meet are not known yet.
Rice, with its new coaching staff
of Jess Neeley and Del Morgan
and Co., are holding spring practice
at the Owl haunts and reports say
that they are looking like a foot
ball team down there. Rice will
be a hard team to beat next year.
A new coach always gives the
boys “fire” and that is about all
that Rice has needed for the past
couple of years. They have some
good boys on that team and with
this fire they will be hard to take.
Teams Play Here
Next Saturday In
Last Loop Tilt
The University of Texas Long
horns trimmed the Aggies 42 to
31 Wednesday night in Austin to
retain their chance of copping the
conference flag over Rice.
Bill Dawson, Aggie center, led
the scoring with 14 points, but
the rest of the Aggies were pret
ty well bottled up. Dawson’s op-
poent, Houpt, was second in §cor-
ing with 13 points.
J. T. Lang was assigned the
duties of guarding Bounding Bobby
Moers and he did it so well that
he kept the “showman” down to
four points.
A. & M. had hard luck in the
game. Time after time the cadets
hit the basket only to see the
ball take a couple of turns around
the hoop and then ride out.
Tom Tinker played an outstand
ing floor game, but had trouble
with his goal shots staying iii the
bucket.
These teams meet again next
Saturday night here at College
Station in a game that will end

Baseball Film To
Be Presented Here
Wednesday Night
announcement made by Martj
Karow, head baseball coach.
Coach Karow has arranged wit!
the Watty Watkins Sporting
Goods Store of Houston, to bring
the picture “Play Ball America,’
series of fundamentals to demon
strate how the game should be
played.
The first show will be given at
6:45 o’clock for the Texas A. & M.
students and as soon as they have
left the hall and the film rewound,
the picture will be run again for
the general public. This should
bring the second showing at about
7:45.
On Friday night the American
League picture, “Touching All
Bases” will be run on the same
schedule. It is scheduled to be
shown in Bryan that afternoon at
the high school so Karow arrang
ed to get it out to Aggieland for
the same evening.
Admission is free and Coach
Karow hopes a capacity crowd will
turn out. If the crowd is too
large for one showing in Guion
Hall he has promised to keep on
running the picture until everyone
is satisfied. In addition he and
Watkins will be on hand to answer
any questions popped by “John
Fan” from the audience.
A slow roll, one of the many aerial acrobatic maneuvers taught
at Randolph Field, Texas, home of the U. S. Army Air Corps Pri
mary Flying School, is being executed by one of Uncle Sam’s Flying
Cadets in the secondary phase of his course in military aviation.
These gyrations in the clouds include loops, spins, slow rolls,
snap rolls, Immelmann turns, and vertical reversements; they are
taught each Flying Cadet not for the theatrical effect the aerial
stunt may have upon the spectators on the ground, but to teach the
student pilot the use of the plane’s controls while the ship is in
unusual positions. After a few hours of these acrobatics, the Flying
Cadet feels just as much at home while in inverted flight as he does
while-flying in normal position.
Flying Cadets are between 20 and 27 years of age, are paid
$75 per month, and are given uniforms, food and lodging together
with best of medical care.
