the fourth, fifth and sixth frames.
From there on out, the Bruin in
field settled down and a pitching
duel between Golden and Bump
ers followed.
Baylor finally cashed in on four
hits and a walk for two runs in
the twelfth stanza. Golden, who
already collected four hits, open
ed with a walk, but was picked
off first by Carden. Miller and
Lummus followed with singles.
Then came the controversial point
of the game. With two men on,
and two down, Jimmy Witt hit
one in front of the plate. Carden
threw him out, but the umpire
ruled it to be a foul. Karow then
had some hot words with the “blue
boys”, but it was no avail. Witt
promptly singled to score Miller.

marked the last resting place of
Skippy.
Skippy was brought from the
Houston dog pound by Sam Rankin
last February and according to sev
eral members of K company was in
ill health when brought to A. & M.
“Dr.” Pinky Caraway, senior vet
erinary medicine student from Tay
lor who was the chief physician on
the case before the dog’s death
last Friday afternoon said that the
dog was too far gone before it
was given medical attention.
J. H. “Bull” Durham was chief
mortician and was in charge of
the funeral arrangements.

Solution
The way out was a masterpiece—
but not until Lois did a two-hour
hide-out to avoid being near-kid
napped by Carol when he passed
through College Station on his way
to Navasota.
Lois first sang the A. & M. dance
until intermission. Then, at an 80-
mile-an-hour clip, she zoomed to
24-mile distant Navasota and sang
that dance until its end at 2 a. m.
Sunday morning!
Which is good work if you can
do it.
Attractive and a better-than-av-
erage dance band singer, Lois’ fa
vorite number is “Perfidia,” she is
20 years old, and allegedly does
not drink or smoke.
Most comment on Bill’s band con
cerned his male vocalist, Micky
Dowd. Many cadets pointed out
that they believed him to be the
best male singer to hit the cam
pus in many social seasons.
The Engineers Ball was one more
excellent addition to an already suc
cessful social season . . . Bill, by
the way, pays his instrumentalists
and vocalists $10 a night with a
$50 weekly base guarantee . . .
His home in Evanston, Illinois, he
attended Wisconsin U. two years
as a chem major . . . The lad with
the Dracula-like laugh was Lee
Simmons . . . Bill’s outfit pre
sented the third between-the-halv-
es stage show this year. Popular
with cadets, last year saw only one
such show—Bernie Cummins’ acts.
The annual spring upswing in
measles prevalence is evidence from
reports to the State Health De
partment by more than 300 city
and county health officers through
out the state.
The prevalence of measles is 338
per cent higher than the normal
prevalence, figured on a seven-
year median, according to Dr. Geo.
W. Cox, State Health Officer. There
were 1,416 cases reported for the
eleventh week of the year and the
median number of cases for the
week over a seven year period was
420.
Since measles is a disease which
should always be given careful
nursing, with isolation of the pa
tient to protect others against the
disease, and since it is character
istic of the disease that it usually
becomes more prevalent in the
spring season, the State Health De
partment issues this warning—
guard yourself against measles,
and if you contract this disease, go
to bed immediately, call your phy
sician, and see that cases are
promptly reported to the local
health officers, and that your home
is properly placarded.
The stage of measles preceding
the eruption is frequently mistaken
for a common cold, and as the dis
ease is highly communicable at
this stage the germs are widely
spread because, as a rule, we take
no common-sense precautions eith
er in treating or protecting others
from a common cold. Measles
causes a congestion and . inflam
mation of the respiratory tract, the
delicate membrane that lines the
eyelids and the accessory sinuses—
these conditions make complications
of the disease fairly common. Com
plications may take the form of
bronchitis, pneumonia, and acute
inflammation of the middle ear.
Crop Contest—

Genetics Department, is the sup
erintendent of the contest. G. W.
Griffin, Federal Grain Supervisor,
will be in charge of the grading of
grains and hay, and the other
judges are to be designated by the
participating schools. T. E. Mc
Afee, Instructor in the Agronomy
Department, will represent Texas
A. & M. as an official judge.
Airport—

gie of the class of 1910 and World
War flier, in compliance with the
desires of the Board of Directors.
The airport has come as the
result of a legislative act which
has been in progress for the past
several weeks and received the ap
proval of the House last Thurs
day morning. Immediately after
the governor had signed it Dean
Gibb Gilchrist gave the word for
immediate construction.
Construction for the project will
include building two new runways
of at least one mile in length which
will give the college airport a
first class rating with government
authorities.
Goobers--

pression. Sales had dropped badly
because boys just wouldn’t pay
five cents for an ordinary sack
of peanuts but there was where
the concessionaire foxed them. He
went down to Houston and bought
a supply of paper sacks of a small
er size. Three of these smaller
sacks would hold exactly what two
of the regular ones would, but
it had the attraction of seeming
like more. At three sacks for a
dime, they sold like hot cakes. Two
boys would go together, buying
three sacks for their dime; they
could then eat one sack apiece and
have one for defensive purposes,
but it was still the same amount
of peanuts.
There is something strange about
the peanut racket. If you buy them
from Walter or Archie or whoever
sells them at the time, and offer
them their own peanuts, they al
ways refuse. It may be from po
liteness or it may be because they
know what has gone into their
produce. But try offering them to
some of your friends in the show
and see what happens.

“The Impact of Totalitarianism

Compulsory chapel attendance is
threatened at the University of
Rochester as the result of poor
attendance at weekly chapel.
