The Placement and Personnel Division was established in 1939 ‘First Time’ Opponents Dot TCU Schedules A “first-time” opponent every year—that’s what the schedule has produced for Coach Dutch Myer of Texas Christian each year since he became head man back in 1934. An?! the Horned Frogs have giv en a very good account of them selves in playing 12 new teams, from all sections of the country, in seven seasons. They have won six, lost five and tied one. In Meyer’s first year—1934—his team won from a not-too-strong Loyola of the South eleven 7-0 and from a plenty strong Santa Clara team 9-7. In the ’35 season, it wasn’t until the bowl bids came along that a first-time opponent developed. The Frogs of that year went to the Sugar Bowl and won from the L. S. U. Tigers 3-2. Mississippi State was the new comer on the 1936 schedule. T. C. U. played them in the mud at the Cotton Bowl field in Dallas, and both teams were satisfied to have it end in a scoreless tie. On New Year’s Day the Frogs went back for the real Cotton Bowl game and took the measure of Marquette by a 16-6 count. Coach Meyer’s 1937 aggregation caught two tough ones for their new opponents, and dropped both. The Ohio State Buckeyes took the Frogs 14-0 in the season’s opener at Columbus, and the Fordham Rams managed for one extra point to win 7-6 in New York City. —INTRAMURALS— (Continued from Page 3) tillery when F battery played A battery.

While the safety course will be conducted under the general management of the engineering colleges, instructors will be select ed from a list of thoroughly ex perienced safety engineers who have actually worked in the field of accident prevention. “The rise in industrial accident injuries during recent months is much greater than justified by the increase in employment and se rious wastage of the available sup ply of workers in defense indus tries can be checked only by strict er attention to the correction of work hazards and by wider appli cation of accident methods which have been developed and applied successfully in some of the leading A & M Stock Takes 4th, 5th at Texas State Fair in Dallas said in announcing plans for the nation-wide safety training pro ject. “These safety training courses will give to the small plant opera tors an opportunity to develop ac cident prevention experts from the ranks of their regular personnel.” Secretary Perkins said that the entire membership of the National Committee for the Conservation of Manpower in Defense Indus tries, plus a paid field staff, will actively assist the local engineer ing colleges with this project. —WILLIAMSON— (Continued from Page 3) 26, Boston College 13, Army fo have a hard battle to run over V.
