against the A team boys. The
squad looked particularly impres
sive in stopping the tricky Baylor
offenses, reported by Marty Karow.
New Plays
The team showed lots of pep
and spirit in its workouts, and
is really working hard in prepara
tion for the Bears. New plays have
been introduced by Coach Norton
in an effort to strengthen the al
ready potent Aggie offense.
Meanwhile reports reaching here
from the rival camp have it that
Coach Frank Kimbrough’s boys are
working hard on pass defense in
an attempt to halt the march of
the vaunted Aggie “Aerial Circus.”
Good news for the Bear support
ers is that Jack Wilson is prac
tically recovered from his head in
jury suffered in the Villanova
game and will probably be able
to start Saturday. Should he be
cut however, Kit Kittrell, sensa
tional sophomore will furnish a
capable replacement.
Line-Plunger Crain
Coupled with the famed passing
combination of Dwight Parks and
Jack Russell, the line plunging of
Milton (Freight Train) Crain
brought joy to the hearts of the
Baylor fans. Running against the
second team using Aggie defensive
formations, Crain piled up plenty
of yardage with his head-on plung
ing.
The Bears will continue their
heavy workouts through today
with plans for a light drill Fri
day before embarking for College
Station and the Texas Aggies.
—KIMBROUGH—

the following year as head coach
after eight years of coaching else
where. In the six years, 1935
through 1940, he tutored the Cow
boys, his teams ran up 47 wins,
8 losses, and 4 ties. Southwest
Conference teams accpunted for
four of his eight losses. Hardin
Simmons’ percentage for the six
seasons was .855.
This is Coach Kimbrough’s first
season at Baylor university and
he already has a favorable record,
winning three out of the first four
games played so far this season.
In the opening game, his Bears
defeated the Hardin Simmons Cow
boys by a 20-0 score. Kimbrough
succeeded Morley Jennings, who
resigned as the Baylor coach to
become athletic director of Texas
Tech.
Ann Sheridan, the screen’s
“oomph girl,” attended North Tex

taught school in Texas.

Col Seward Is
Featured Speaker
At ASCE Meeting
Colonel O. A. Seward, senior
contact member of the student
chapter of the American Society
of Civil Engineers, spoke to the
society at its regular meeting
Tuesday night. Seward graduated
here in 1909 and now lives in Groes-
beck.
At the meeting the A.S.C.E. de
cided to join with the Aeronautical
Science club to hold their annual
dance this year. Last year the
civil engineers held their dance
seperately.
Approximately 20 juniors and
seniors filed a request at the meet
ing to attend the Texas Senior A.
S. C. E. meeting to be held in
Fort Worth October 31 and Novem

something about the nature of the
lectures that you will hear. The
lectures will be of two kinds, the
general inforamtive talks given by
members of the club concerning
their homeland’s customs, culture,
and economic or social problems;
and the discussion lectures given
by visiting faculty members of
foreign legation staff members up
on subjects of international scope.
One of the highlights of these fac
ulty member speeches is one to be
given by Dean Kyle. The club is
reserving one lecture space for him
because it has heard that he will
be back shortly and will visit the
organization again as he has in
the past.
Many club members have been
personal friends of world leaders
such as Hahatma Gahndi and their
views came to the club uncolored
by international politics or diplo
macy. In today’s world first hand
information from foreign lands,
via the lips of newly-arrived for
eign students, is indeed a previous
commodity which you cannot afford
to miss.
One of the outstanding activi
ties of the club for this' coming
year will be a picnic which will
be one of the biggest affairs on
the campus. The club hopes to
bring together all the foreign clubs
in the college to jointly invite the
Bryan Spanish Club and those fac
ulty members who have been most
intimately related with these or
ganizations for a gala day of fes
tivity.

resistance coils is another item that
has been taken off the market.
Women will miss their favorite
deodorants this year, as the main
constituent in them is aluminum
chloride, and aluminum is being
used in airplanes. The same goes
for coffee pots and electric toast
ers. Magnesium is a difficult
metal to obtain and Dow metal
cannot meet production demands.
The hard rubber comb that you
buy is becoming increasingly dif
ficult to obtain and in the future
you may not be able to get them
at all. These articles will be re
placed by celluloid or plastic pro
ducts.
There will be a shortage on dice
and dominoes not only because
they are made of celluloid and
ivory but because there is a short
age of skilled labor needed to
produce them. The same prob
lem faces the Christmas shopper
this year; Cellophane wrapping
paper will be conspicuously ab
sent from gifts this Christmas.
Going further, look what comes
in tubes, and you will see why
metal containers are becoming
increasingly hard to get.
Already in evidence that alum
inum and tin is being used for
national defense is the absence of
the metal foils around candies apd
gum.
One of the main problems of
inflation caused by national de
fense is going to be the regula
tion of salary for the “salary man.”
The farmers have received in
creased incomes along with the
price raising but the man on a sal
ary has not. This will be an eco
nomic problem left up to the
“Brain Trusts” to solve.

(Continued from Page 1)
night and the corps decided to re
place the banner to show that the
occurrence was not the sentiment
of the corps.
The student who removed the
flag was introduced to the T. C. U.
students at the dance in Fort Worth
Saturday night by T. C. U. yell
leader, Joe Thompson, where he
apologized for the act and stated
that it was not an act of the corps.
After the telegram apology had
been received at T. C. U. Monday
afternoon, Dean Colby D. Hall of
the university stated, “It was just
what I expected of such a fine
school, and I am very glad that
the excellent relation that has al
ways existed between the two
schools can go forward.”
Letters from former A. & M.
students who witnessed the inci
dent have also been received. They
expressed a sentiment similar to
that of the corps and expressed
sorrow that the incident occurred.
In a letter to Don Gabriel, the
Battalion editor, and Gillis, which
accompanied the Open Forum let
ter in this issue, James Williams,
’19, former president of the Dallas
A. & M. Club, stated that the
event was all the more regret
table because “the trick was pulled
against T. C. U., the cleanest stu
dent body and cleanest football
rivals we have.”
J. S. Allen, president of the
Fort Worth A. & M. Club, called
Gillis long distance Tuesday after
noon expressing regret that the
incident had occurred and congrat
ulating the corps on the spirit of
sportsmanship they are showing in
replacing the flag. Similar con
gratulations were received from Dr.
T. O. Walton, president of the col
lege.

Yes, by actual comparison {see right, above) less nicotine in the smoke than any of the

IF YOU’RE SMOKING MORE than you once did, you’ll
appreciate Camel’s slower burning all the more. Not only
less nicotine in the smoke but also more coolness and an
extra flavor that livens up even a tired taste. You don’t
get tired of smoking Camels—they always taste good.
