All in all the newsreel is “The Aggies Own Story on Celluloid.” The technical defects can be cor rected in later editions and leave a permanent record of the activities of Aggies that cannot be equaled in words of any quantity of qual ity. The Chinese proverb that one look-see is worth a thousand tells will demonstrate this to anyone who sees the production. On Kyle Field— (Continued From Page 5) exes and all who attended were pro vided with dates. Jack Kimbrough and Marshall Robnett drew the two most beau tiful. “Thomason makes this Kim brough” was heard time and time again from fans in the stands. It’s true that these two work like can non and cannoneer together but each in his own way, and what ways carries a lot of force. Southern Methodist tied their first wrong way game last Satur day against Pitt, 7 to 7. It was rough for the ponies and only the passing of Mallouf and the punting of Johnston saved them from de feat. Johnston set a new record for punting, lifting the ball high in the air and far down the field from his own 6 to the Pitt 2, 98 yards. Texas Christian lost to North Carolina for the upset of the con ference intersectional tilts and Ark ansas ran over the Baylor Bears. Rice closed out L. S. U. to remain unscored upon this year. We called the Rice and the Aggie wins, but lost out on the Baylor and T. C. U. upsets, and tied on the remaining. So as “Mr. Williamson” says this gives us a .500 per cent average. Williamson— (Continued From Page 5) formance this season was mostly by relief teams whipping Mercer 49-0 and Chattanooga 53-0. It’s in the lap of the gods now, and we’re riding the ratings. The Williamson choices in the other outstanding games this week end are: Oregon State over Wash ington in a mighty close one: Ohio State over Minnesota; Pitt over Fordham, which is probably a- gainst a lot of other prognostica tors; Michigan over Illinois; S.M.U. over Auburn, unless the Mustangs slow down or the phantom backs of the Plains Tigers get to gallop ing again; Georgia over Columbia. Speaking of S.M.U., just remem ber that Fullback Preston Johnson punted a 92-yard record last week in the 7-7 game with Pitt. We’ll take Texas over Arkansas, in spite of the latter’s 13 to 7 up set of Baylor last week. The figures say Villanova will take Baylor at San Antonio, Bos ton over Cincinnati, John Carroll over Case but it’s a toss-up, Catho lic U. over Miami in a hard one, Tulsa easily over St. Louis U., San Jose over San Francisco, Michigan State over Temple, Ole Miss over Duquesne, Notre Dame handily over Carnigie Tech at South Bend. Texas Aggies over T.C.U., Rice to make it four-in-a-row losses for Tulane, and Southern California over Oregon. The San Diego Marines, only non-collegiate team that plays a strictly collegiate schedule, get the nod to win over Spec Keene’s Wil- liamette Bearcats. They’ll play at Williamette, from which comes one of the season’s best press-informa tion folders. (NOTE: Home team is listed first; visit ing team is listed second.)

He added that Arkansas is getting good guard and center sup port and play from Co-Capt. A. J. Yates, Milt Simington and Daryl Cato. In practice this week Bible indi cated he would start a lineup quite different from the one which open ed against Oklahoma, carrying out his policy of promoting deserv ing subs to the starting string. Among them were Tackles Bo Co- henour and Stanley Mauldin, Guard Harold Jungmichael, Frontback Jimmy Grubbs, Fullback R. L. Har kins and End Jess Hawthorne. Mike Sweeney is considered the regular left end but gives way to Preston Flanagan when Texas draws the opening kickoff job. Guard Ted Dawsen, Center Red Goodwin and Halfbacks Crain and Noble Doss completed the tenta tive starting lineup this week. Of all these, the Razorbacks will be watching Crain closest. Last year, he broke away for 69 yards in the last 20 seconds to defeat Arkan sas 14-13 at Memorial Stadium.

The Cubs may find the going a little rough against the Kilgore eleven, because the Rangers don’t lose many ball games. The last time these oil field boys lost a game was in 1938, and since then have gone through 19 tests without meeting defeat. Coach Jim Crow has been work ing the frosh gridders long and hard trying to fashion a defense and offense to cope with the Kil gore powerhouse, but thus far has been handicapped by the size and strength of his squad. There are only 34 boys out for the Baylor freshman team and the Cub mentor has had a hard time finding a good forward wall out of the handful of gridders capable of playing line positions. Right now it looks like Joe Donovan and Glynn Lake will open up at ends, Bill Stephens and N. A. Waters in at tackle; Jim Bean and Johnny Lampkin filling the guard slots; and Ace Bryan or Olan Runnels at the center position. The Cubs can come much closer to matching the Kilgore boys in the offensive end of play. Kit Kit- trell, shifty all-state performer from McGregor, and John Mack Curry, hard running fullback from Henderson, have both looked good in the daily practice drills and will carry most of the offensive power. Other probable starters in the Cub backfield are Bo Robin son, dependable back from Dayton, and Paul Cook, 185 pound runner from Tulia. Coach Crow has several out standing backs on the freshmen team and will get plenty of good reserve help from Bill Dowdell of Jackson, Terin.

O. Beasley of the Agri- the Agronomy society at its first cultural Experiment Station to meeting Tuesday night. The sub ject of Dr. Beasley’s talk was “Mo dern methods of Plant Breeding.” A number of students signed up for their Agronomy society keys which are the same as the nation al societies adopted last meeting. The keys will be in about two weeks after they are ordered. The initiation of new members into the club is to take place next Tuesday night in the basement of the Ag building. Anyone who is majoring or minoring in Agronomy and has had 1 semester hour of col lege work is eligible to join. have some point he wishes to see. Dean Kyle has charge of the program for the meeting and is assisted by D. W. Williams, J. M. Jones, S. P. Davis, Norman Schue- ssler, Roy Snyder, and others. Among the prominent visitors will be Hiram Philips, a former Ag gie, who is editor of the South western Sheep and Goat Raiser. This publication is sponsored by the Sheep and Wool Raisers Asso ciation. The October issue of this magazine featured A. & M. and con tained many articles and pictures of the various departments.

SATURDAY NIGHT Fred McMurray - Patricia Morison —in— “RANGERS OF FORTUNE” Also Shown Sunday - Monday Singing Cadets Is Nation’s Largest By Mike Speer The famed Singing Cadets of A. & M. college is the largest all male chorus in the world. Origina ted and directed by J. J. Woolket, instructor in the Modern Language department, it is composed of 213 male voices, all students of A. & M. college. In view of the fact that A. & M. has no music department, that it offers no credit for music work whatsoever, that no credit may be obtained from participating in this organization other than personal enjoyment, an ususual amount of enthusiam and interest has been devoted to making the Singing Cadets an outstanding success by the student body as a whole. It has received favorable recognition from musical organizations and critics throughout the state. One of the outstanding charact eristics of this praise-worthy or ganization is that it does not at tempt to sing any musical com positions characteristic of heavy opera. It limits itself to those im mortal, soul-stirring, vibi’ant, heart thrilling songs that appeal to every type of individual. The Sing ing Cadets are now working dili gently on five such songs for their first public appearance. In this organization there are four sections composed of 20 first tenors; 64 second tenors; 79 bari tones; and 50 bases. An interest ing fact to note about the Singing Cadets is that it is entirely pos sible for each of the four sections to be carrying a melody strange from the rest, yet the melody that reaches the ear seems only to be one song, perfect in tune and in harmony. The organization as a whole practices on Monday, Tues day and Thursday nights from 7:30 ■ THURSDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1940 Taylor Addresses Biology Club Meeting The wildlife museum collection of the Fish and Game department was shown to the members of the Biology club by Dr. W. P. Tay lor at its second meeting of the year Tuesday night. Dr. Taylor held an informal discussion of the speciments which he presented and allowed the students to examine them. There has been some discussion of a key to identify the members of the Biology club. This will be brought up at the next meeting. Dean Ernest Bessey of the grad uate school at Michigan State Col lege has returned from Hawaii with 600 species of fungi. to 8 p. m. in Guion Hall. The ten or groups practice on Monday af ternoon from 5:00 to 5:30. The bar itone groups practice on Tuesday afternoon from 5:00 to 5:30. “Any one wishing to witness one of these practice periods is cordially invited to do so,” Woolket said. The Singing Cadets have receiv ed considerable publicity for A. & M. and a great amount of recog nition for themselves. The primary purpose of every member of the Singing Cadets is to receive as much personal enter tainment and enjoyment as possi ble from their efforts. It affords them a few minutes of relaxation; a veritable sanctuary from their everyday problems, studies and duties. When in Doubt About Your Eyes or Your Glasses, Consult DR. J. W.
